Go To

1Jefferson tries to get Jennifer to come home and leave Khalil.
2----
3* ActorAllusion: When Cutter (played by Creator/KearranGiovanni) shows up at Khalil's aunt, she introduces herself as a detective. The aunt says the younger woman clearly isn't a detective. Well, no, [[Series/MajorCrimes not anymore]].
4* CallingTheOldManOut: Anissa calls Jefferson out on how his well-intentioned, but ultimately heavy-handed way of dealing with Jennifer's emerging powers is what isolated her from her family and drove to embrace Khalil.
5* DidntThinkThisThrough: Jennifer really didn't account for how abruptly leaving with Khalil would freak her family out.
6** Khalil didn't seem to think that Tobias might've put a tracker or bounty on an asset he so heavily invested in.
7* DrowningMySorrows: Lynn once again turns to the bottle to deal with the stress of Jennifer leaving.
8* EurekaMoment: Tobias is able to put the dots together how Black Lightning always appears when the Pierce girls are in trouble.
9* EvenEvilHasStandards: Turns out even a monster like Tobias has a code - no killing moms (possibly because of how he lost ''his'' mom).
10* ItsAllAboutMe: Even when it's clear how worried her family is for her, Jennifer is adamant on still running with Khalil -- the fact that Lynn had a total meltdown only serves to highlight her selfishness.
11* MeaningfulName: For a knife user, "Cutter" definitely qualifies.
12* WhatTheHellHero: Anissa is ''not'' happy about the emotion rollercoaster Gambi put the Pierces through, and is very vocal about it.
