‘Stargirl’ 3×04 Preview: “Frenemies – Chapter Four: The Evidence”

While Sylvester recovers, the JSA suits back up when Beth uncovers a new suspect in Stargirl 3×04, “Frenemies – Chapter Four: The Evidence.” The promo video and photos tease that Cameron Mahkent could be the unknown suspect, but there’s an excellent chance Cameron is a red herring for someone more menacing.

After all, it appears that Courtney keeps reaching out to Cameron to help him, but he resists. Hunter Sansone’s line delivery in the promo video posits that Cameron can get help but not from Courtney; he enunciates “you” to single out her specific assistance. Stargirl Season 3 is really dialing up Camney’s forbidden love story.

This episode also progresses with the season’s murder mystery after Sylvester’s attack at the crime scene. The episode’s tagline suggests Sylvester will relay his side of events, and after, the JSA — or just Beth and Courtney — could return to the trailer park to look for clues. Maybe that means we’ll see Beth and Courtney have a one-on-one conversation.

Whether they find something there or not, Yolanda and Rick will visit Sylvester at the Whitmore-Dugan house. This presumably non-sanctioned JSA meeting is likely about Rick and Yolanda’s apprehension with Cindy on the team since Sylvester is as hesitant — if not more so, considering his past with the ISA’s Dragon King — about Cindy Burman.

“Frenemies – Chapter Four: The Evidence” will also deliver on two underrated, fan-favorite dynamics: Mike & Jakeem and Barbara & Paula. It looks like Mike and Jakeem return to the scene of their “crime,” aka the bathroom the Thunderbolt vandalized, to give them a non-answer about the Gambler’s murder.

Hopefully, Mike and Jakeem’s investigation will eventually collide with the larger Justice Society of America’s search for answers. It would be a letdown if their stories only ran parallel to each other for most of the season. Luckily, there’s still plenty of Stargirl Season 3 left for that — and so much more — to happen.
