Although part of the two-part episode deals with the JSA taking down the cameras spread across the city, the death of the Gambler (Eric Goins) is put on hold for a couple of weeks while Stargirl picks up the threads of Jennie (Ysa Penarejo), her brother Todd (Tim Gabriel), the corruption of the Green Lantern’s ring, and a return to the Shadowlands. Although the others get dressed up in taking out the cameras, and Sylvester‘s (Joel McHale) voice is heard over internal comms, we don’t get an appearance by either Starman or Stargirl.

The episode’s plot, which at some moments is one step away from an anti-drug PSA with some of its dialogue, is notable for NCIS’ takedown of the drug lab operating near the cover of an active volcano in which one member of the team is exposed to the drug. The episode’s B-stories involve Tennant (Vanessa Lachey) reacting to another bombshell from her teenage son and Lucy‘s (Yasmine Al-Bustami) reaction to learning that Ernie (Jason Antoon) father has died, news he hasn’t shared with the rest of the team.
