Gambi advises Jennifer that Tobias has the ability to see the worst in people and bring it out, which is something he did to Khalil when convincing him to get the spinal implant to walk again but has now been turned into a weapon. Tobias also rescued Syonide from an orphanage and trained her to be an assassin, eventually implanting a body armour under her skin.

Martin Proctor learns that many of the pod occupants are in an unstable condition and the only way to save them would be to find the correct metahuman DNA sample capable of stabilizing them. He also learns that Lala is the only lead they currently have to try to find Tobias. He sees the metahumans as bioweapons that need to be collected to arm themselves.

Tobias informs Lala that he was the one that spent the money to revive Lala with a control mechanism installed. The visions Lala has been having is a side effect of the procedure that causes him to be haunted by those he has killed. Tobias installs a bomb in him to be sent to the A.S.A. but Proctor figures out he has been armed with a bomb and gets out in time for Lala to only kill a few other agents.

Jefferson is near death and is having visions of speaking with his late father Alvin, who gives him a pep talk that coaxes him into waking up. However, they come to discover that Jefferson's powers are gone. Proctor sends agents to capture the family which Inspector Henderson hears about and sends police to go after.

Jennifer is able to generate enough electricity to restore Black Lightning's powers which is just in time to help the family fend off the impending arrival of the A.S.A. agents and the police that are also on the way. Bambi advises the family to go into hiding since they will never not be a target but they all agree that the right thing to do is to stay, fight, and protect their community. They are able to fight off the men that attack their cabin in the woods with little to no injuries. They manage to escape in a van just as the police arrive.

Once Tobias's men attack the A.S.A. headquarters, only Proctor is able to escape. The Pierce family confronts Martin and Gambi has the realization that Proctor is running a rogue operation. Gambi proceeds to kill Proctor as the culmination of making amends for the work he did with the A.S.A.

Despite Lynn's best efforts to save the kids in the pods, they don't survive. However, she is able to expose details of the A.S.A. experiments to the media which triggers a massive scandal for the government. Public opinion is once again in favour of Black Lightning and now Thunder, as they're revered as heroes for having stopped this rogue government conspiracy.

Secretly, Tobias has retrieved Martin Proctor's severed thumbs and uses them to open Proctor's briefcase. This provides Tobias with the means to take out Black Lightning once and for all.

Jefferson and Lynn resume their relationship but she tells him she wants to keep it a secret from the girls until they can be sure that they are really back together for the long-term.

Khalil resurfaces with a new spinal implant that allows him to walk again. He also has a new attitude and a fair amount of resentment against Jefferson. Jefferson brings this news to Gambi. This type of technology is billion-dollar calibre and it's clear that this is another experiment being run on poor black children. Gambi tracks down a weapon maker whom he threatens in order to get information on Martin Proctor while Jefferson warns Jennifer not to go near Khalil because he is potentially dangerous. But when she gets a text from Khalil she sneaks out in the hopes of meeting him.

Jefferson and Lynn get into an argument when he finds out she is trying to isolate Jennifer's meta-gene and that in doing so she could potentially try to get rid of her powers. Jennifer meets with Khalil who apologises for how things soured between them and shows her his spinal implant. He says that his new dreads are a result of some pills he was given to help with the regeneration which made his hair grow fast. Khalil gets angry when Jennifer begins to ask questions about how he was chosen to get the implant and blames her father for getting in her head. She is further shocked when he leaves by jumping off the second-story roof with ease. Khalil meets with Tobias who tells him to threaten Jefferson High in order to lure Black Lightning out. He is indebted to Tobias; he was able to regain his ability to walk in exchange for unconditional loyalty.

The weapon maker retrieves the information Gambi is after but Lala kills him, though he is shown to be acting strange upon hearing the phrase "The devil deals the cards."

Khalil attacks the school as Painkiller and uses paralysis needles based from a toxin his implant now creates to knock out various students. Black Lightning and Thunder emerge since Khalil refuses to stop even after Jennifer tries to get him to stop. Despite Jefferson commanding her to leave, she still follows after them. Thunder fights against Syonide and manages to get in a cut under Syonide's left arm under her internal body armour.

Tobias has a special material on for a protective undersuit that forces Jefferson to fight him in hand-to-hand combat. Eventually, Tobias and Painkiller are able to team up to taken him down as Tobias restrains him and Painkiller unleashes a strike that causes Black Lightning's heart. Tobias reprimands Khalil for that action since they're supposed to bring Black Lightning in alive. Thunder appears and Syonide begins shooting so she, Tobias, and Painkiller can escape. Jennifer is able to summon enough electricity to restart Jefferson's heart and they all escape back to meet Gambi and Lynn at a remote cabin in the North Freeland woods which Gambi has cloaked to keep any of them from being tracked.

Martin Proctor demands that Kara Fowdy find Black Lightning once and for all, even if she has to burn Freeland to do it, and says that Thunder can be killer or not in the process as she's entirely expendable to their endgame.

Lala is brought in by Syonide to meet Tobias, who seems unsurprised that Lala has been resurrected. Tobias uses the phrase "The devil deals the cards" in order to control Lala and declares that Martin Proctor is their next target to be taken out.

Henderson acts out an interrogation with Jefferson, secretly warning him that they're being taped so they have to play out a facade. He asks him questions about his daughters being kidnapped by Lala. Their questioning is interrupted by Cayman who says that there's a transfer order from the feds claiming it's a matter of national security so they have to abide by it.

Jefferson's youngest daughter Jennifer sneaks off to a club owned by a gang called the 100. He goes to rescue her and is forces to use his powers to knock out the lights in the process. He also shoots lightning out of his hands and unleashes it in his punches to take out various gang members. Jennifer gets away without any injuries. Police arrive at the scene and hold Jefferson at gunpoint, threatening him. His eyes begin to glow and then they attempt to taze him but he absorbs the electricity and blasts it back to knock them down. Then he shoots a large electrical blast into their cop car and leaves it on fire while the officers lay on the ground disoriented.

Jefferson has some injuries from his encounter with the police officers and his friend Gambi tries once again to persuade him to become Black Lightning again but Jefferson doesn't want to break the promise he made to his ex-wife Lynn to give up the superhero life so that they can potentially resume their relationship.

A 100 gangbanger named Will tries to attack Jennifer at the school but Anissa easily beats him down. Jefferson stops the man from drawing his gun so he decides to pay a visit to the local gang boss Lala to strike up a peace agreement. Will later returns to the school with some of his friends and abducts Jennifer and Anissa. In order to ensure their daughters' safety, Lynn approves of Jefferson being Black Lightning again since the police are not efficient enough in ensuring their safe return.

Jefferson teams up with Gambi once more to don a new superhero suit that's even better than the one he used to wear that will aid in his quest to get his daughter back. He infiltrates the Seahorse Motel and fights off the armed gang members. Though he saves his daughters, he doesn't find Lala who had been beating Will for acting impulsively and not getting his approval first. Jefferson gets to Will before he can go through with Lala's orders to make the girls disappear.

Lala is brought to Tobias Whale, the head of the 100, and non-fatally shot by a crossbow. Tobias demands that Lala kill Black Lightning, with the implication being that he himself will be killed if he fails.

Jefferson brings his daughters home where Lynn tearfully embraces them. The trauma of the experience triggers Anissa's own superpowers. She later discovers them when she breaks a sink in half after waking from a nightmare.

Black Lightning airs on Tuesdays on the CW at 9/8c.
