With Black Lightning now wanted for Lady Eve's murder, Jefferson sends Anissa out to find out who was really responsible. The ASA sends in agents to Freetown to kill Black Lightning, which means Gambi's shady past finally comes to light.
- Came Back Wrong: Lala is off after his resurrection.
- Does This Remind You of Anything?: The ASA's disgusting experiments in Freeland is eerily reminiscent of the Tuskegee Experiments and other sick eugenic horrors inflicted on the African American populace.
- Entertainingly Wrong:
- Jefferson assumes Black Lightning was framed for Lady Eve's murder due to getting too close to the source of Green Light. Tobias framing Black Lightning was merely a bonus in getting suspicion off himself for her assassination.
- The authorities also assume Black Lighting killed her because of her electrical burns. As Jefferson's never killed anyone with his lightning, they don't have any prior evidence to show the injuries weren't caused by him.
- From Bad to Worse: The police hunting Black Lighting is bad enough. But now the ASA — the mysterious agency that Gambi is a part of is actively hunting Black Lighting too — to kill on sight.
- Hero with Bad Publicity: Black Lightning ever since he was framed for Lady Eve's death.
- Imaginary Friend: Lala sees LaWanda .... but nobody else does.
- Internal Reveal: Jennifer discovers her electrical powers.
- The Killer Becomes the Killed: Anissa and Jefferson find the body of Lady Eve's assassin buried in the woods.Jefferson: I guess we can be thankful for the second rule of high profile assassinations; always kill the killer.
- Leeroy Jenkins: Anissa's main flaw she has to overcome. In training, Anissa instinctively attacks a hologram dummy of man wearing a racist T-shirt. Jefferson points that just because he's racist, doesn't mean he's a threat and that she needlessly attacked a civilian.
- The Reveal:
- What's the purpose of Green Light, a highly addictive and deadly drug that's ultimately useless to a profit-minded crime lord like Tobias since it kills too many junkies? The ASA is banking on it to turn people into metahumans.
- Gambi's Dark and Troubled Past finally comes to light. He was an ASA agent sent to find out metahumans, but he quit the agency in disgust when he found out what they were doing — illegally vaccinating people to keep them docile that had the side effect of either killing kids or turning them into metahumans. He leaked it to the press via Alvin Pierce, which got him killed. He decided to train Jefferson as Black Lightning as his way to atone for his mistake.
- So Proud of You: After Anissa saves Jefferson from the explosion of the electrical rifle and quickly deduces the man who blew himself up was set up to eliminate the evidence and himself, he grins and hugs her for her combination of quick action to save an innocent and figuring out what went on.
- Wham Shot: Lynn sees the Green Light sample and the sample in Alvin's research are one and the same.
