Stargirl Season 1 Brainwave Preview: Will Henry Make the Right Choice?

So it looks like things are about to get a whole lot more complicated for Courtney (Courtney Whitmore) with this week's episode of DC Universe (for now) and The CW's Stargirl– but not nearly as complicated as Henry's (Jake Austin Walker) finding things heading into "Brainwave." Henry finds himself torn between two sides, just now realizing that there's a ton to his life and his father's (Christopher James Baker) life he knew nothing about. Now, it looks like a choice is going to be made: take Courtney up on her offer to join her JSA, or follow in his father's footsteps. But as we're about to see in the following preview images and promo, some of our heroes aren't into the whole idea of having Henry as a teammate- and it's not like he doesn't keep giving them reasons to doubt.

Stargirl season 1, episode 9 "Brainwave": DADDY DEAREST — Tensions rise among the JSA members after Courtney (Brec Bassinger) suggests who she wants to recruit next to the team. Meanwhile, Barbara (Amy Smart) invites Jordan (Neil Jackson) and his family over for dinner, and Henry Jr. (Jake Austin Walker) makes a surprising discovery about his father. Luke Wilson, Yvette Monreal, Cameron Gellman, Anjelika Washington, Trae Romano, Christopher James Baker, Meg DeLacy, and Hunter Sansone also star. Tamra Davis directed the episode written by Colleen McGuinness.
