There's a lot of drama unfolding on 'Stargirl'. While Pat Dugan (Luke Wilson) has been thrown out of the house by an irate Barbara (Amy Smart) for encouraging Courtney's (Brec Bassinger) supeheroics, other interesting reveals have been made. For instance, Starman's sister Merry Pemberton was married to Brainwave. Henry King Jr (Jake Austin Walker) has finally stumbled upon the truth and isn't quite following the insidious and sinister path we thought he will follow. Though to be honest, after he fried a lawyer's brains in the previous episode, we can't be wrong in thinking that. 

This reveal shows that Henry and Courtney are cousins, something fans were not quite ready for. Obviously, comic book fans might be sniggering over this.

"AYO WHAT THE F**K!???!!?!?? THAT IS A BIG ASS REVEAL THAT MAKES THEM COUSINS #Stargirl," a fan wrote. "WHAT? his mother is the sister of #Starman, does this mean that Henry and Courtney are cousins? #Stargirl," another fan tweeted. 

Another fan just hoped that Henry doesn't turn evil now. "The character building and emotional dilemma for Henry Jr. has been incredible this season. For a kid I saw as "generic jock #1", they truly have made his story so fascinating. He better not turn evil! #BrainwaveJr #DCStargirl #Stargirl," a fan tweeted.

"#Stargirl omg Henry and Courtney are related," another wrote.

Courtney rushes to Henry and realizes thanks to his thought projects that they are cousins. "Look, Henry has a lot to deal with before we get to the whole “cousin” thing. One crisis at a time. #Stargirl," a fan tweeted. 

"Things are getting incestuous," a fan wrote, even though there had been no suggestion of a romance between the two of them. "Say whaaaaat starman was his bro in law which means Courtney n Henry r cousins #Stargirl," a fan tweeted.

"Merri is Starman’s sister? Well, if that’s the case, then Henry is Courtney’s... #Stargirl," a fan wrote. “But Jordan couldn’t allow that. He led us to the Justice Society of America to us, and we killed them... 𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙡𝙪𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 Merri’s 𝙗𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧... 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙣.” WHAT?! #DCStargirl #Stargirl," another noted.

At present, Henry seems to be under the impression that Jordan (Neil Jackson) killed his mother. But is that the truth?

'Stargirl' airs on CW, Tuesdays at 8 pm.
