How Did The Previous Season End?

Moreover, Eclipso exploited the JSA’s worst fears to turn them against each other. Eclipso planned on corrupting Stargirl and using their combined powers to drag Earth into the Shadowlands, a nightmare realm. Luckily, the heroes and the villains teamed up together to free a possessed Stargirl from Eclipso’s grips.
