Sometimes in order to see the light of hope, you must see the true darkness that inspires that hope.
After rescuing Jennifer and Anissa, Jefferson tells Lynn that he's done with Black Lightning for good. But thinking that taking done Lala's ring at the hotel, things were still the same after and gets a word full from Lawanda, a mother who's daughter goes to Jefferson's school and is taken by the 100 gang. She tries to get Jefferson to stand up and hope that they'll give her her daughter back but when he tells her to let him handle it, you just can't stop a mother from finding her child. So she confronts Lala and his crew at the hotel while video taping him until she gets killed by him.
Jefferson gets word about Lawanda and shows his frustration to Lynn about how his powers use to mean something: a gift and tells her that he needs to use them. After confronting Gambi for help, Jefferson gets word about Will being killed and the location on Lala. Jefferson comes to Lala as Black Lightning and kicks his butt for a bit til Henderson and the cops got there.
Lala gets news from Henderson that Lawanda came from beyond the grave as he showed him a phone that she captured him shooting her. Soon, Tobis makes his appearance at the jail to see Lala and kills him.
Jefferson admits to Lynn that Black Lightning should be back with the girls grown up and such. Jennifer find her way back after being with her best friend and getting a life lesson from Khalil about life outside the community while Anissa, who's tries opening up to her girlfriend, Grace, about what she expressed in her bathroom, but also uses her powers during a robbery at a store while getting a bottle of aspirin.
"Lawanda: The Book of Hope" was a very good episode and pretty much matches to what the premiere episode was with character development and storytelling. Williams gives another good performance along with McClain and Nafessa Williams. Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.
You can catch Black Lightening Tuesdays at 9/8c on The CW.
