Quick recap

Krillin, Gohan and Dende summon the dragon Porunga and revive Piccolo, who is brought to Namek; the Grand Elder dies and the balls go dark. Frieza reveals ever-stronger transformations. Piccolo, fused with the warrior Nail, holds him off for a while, and Vegeta is killed after begging Goku to avenge the Saiyans. Goku fights Frieza, but the Spirit Bomb fails. When Frieza kills Krillin, Goku becomes the legendary Super Saiyan. The planet starts to explode, Frieza ends up sliced in half, and Goku escapes in a ship. On Earth, Kami is revived and a wish brings back everyone Frieza killed, but Goku decides not to come home yet.
