Ten years later, when Emery goes back to school after spending four years in the hospital dealing with immune deficiency, officials announced seven Atrians will attend the same high school. In order to help her friend Julia, Emery leads her to the Atrians' Cyper, but are unsuccessful in finding the cure they need. Emery later learns about Roman and how he survived being shot. After a confrontation in school between Roman and Eric, Roman's friends are on a mission to crash an upcoming party, where Eric is attacked by Drake, while Roman is able to escape with Emery when the police raid the party.

At school, Roman avoids Emery after her father's accidental shooting of his own father. Emery later campaigns against the Red Hawks at a school board meeting to allow the Atrians to attend the school's homecoming carnival. Roman reluctantly agrees to attend in order to protect Emery, who is being targeted by the Trags, the Atrian extremist group, who are seeking vengeance for Nox's death.

Critical response

David Hinckley of New York Daily News gave the series 4 out of 5 stars, saying "Add forbidden love, which can never escape the shadow of potential doom, and Star-Crossed could become both provocative and entertaining".[36] Diana Werts of Newsday gave the series 3 out of 4 stars, saying "Plenty of potential, if Star-Crossed stops talking down to us".[37] Carrie Raisler of The A.V. Club gave the series a positive review.[38] Jeanne Jakle of San Antonio Express-News gave a positive review, saying "Just as she was so heartbreakingly natural as young Julie Taylor, she also comes across refreshingly unpretentious in Star-Crossed — which, actually, may be the best reason of all to watch the CW drama".[39]

Gail Pennington of St. Louis Post-Dispatch gave the series 2 of 4 stars signaling mixed reviews, saying "Star-Crossed doesn't aim as high as those, Lanter does get a few witty lines (“One of my hearts stopped beating for a few minutes. Luckily I had a backup)” but the tone is mostly dreary and the plot with few exceptions goes precisely where you expect. Only if the romance proves genuinely heart-stopping to young fans (maybe, the same ones who have embraced "Reign") will this one be a hit".[40] Robert Lloyd of Los Angeles Times gave the series an mixed review, saying "It's the usual dance of insiders and outsiders, mean kids and weirdos, of Sharks and Jets, Montagues and Capulets biting their thumbs at one another in the school corridor while one special guy and girl fall in love. There are the good ones and the bad ones, and the bad good ones, and the good bad ones. Adults, as always in these things, are no help at all".[41]

David Wiegand of the The San Francisco Chronicle giving it a negative review, saying "The title is Star-Crossed because it's about an alien boy who falls in love with a human girl, a repurposed "Romeo and Juliet," without the poetry. Or drama. Or credibility".[42] Robert Bianco, of USA Today, saying "As vapid as it is unoriginal, Star-Crossed is sadly typical of a network that continually underestimates its audience. Teenagers may not be smarter than they were when the WB was at its peak, but it's unlikely they're dumber. So why does CW treat them as if they are?"[43] Matt Roush of TV Guide gave an negative review, saying "Star-Crossed lacks humor, suspense or even heat".[44]
