* CanonWelding: Jay Garrick appears [[Series/TheFlash2014 once again]] played by Creator/JohnWesleyShipp, and in the exact same costume to boot, further hinting at connecting ''Series/{{Stargirl}}'' to the larger ''Series/{{Arrowverse}}''.

* TheHeart: Jay Garrick appeared to be this to the original JSA, being the kindest one towards Pat at Rebecca's funeral as well as being firmly on Pat's side about not breaking the ThouShaltNotKill rule.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
My interpretation was that the person they killed was the adult Bruce Gordon seen at the beginning of the episode and later as an illusion by Eclipso to taunt Pat in the basement. It's currently unclear what Child!Bruce's connection to this adult Bruce Gordon is.


* WouldHurtAChild: The [=JSA=] willingly killed Eclipso's host, Bruce, who was a child.

** Courtney has hers in the present when Pat reveals this to her and that he ultimately helped them. For Courtney, it's not so much that he helped kill someone as that both he kept this information from her and the team at a time when they really needed any possible solution or advantage that they could get. The fact that Barbara also knew this information makes it even worse.
