Black Lightning Recap: Everything You Missed in "The Book of Reconstruction Chapter Three: Despite All My Rage"
Jefferson
Jefferson has a nightmare in which Tobias is in his home, has taken his family and despite all of his rage and attempts to fight him, Jefferson cannot beat him. He tells the therapist who tells him to stop deflecting, prompting him to finally admit that he doesn't know who he is without Black Lightning (though he doesn't reveal his superhero identity to the therapist.)
prevnextLa La and Freeland
La La and Devonte now have an underground fight club that is operated and attended virtually. One of the fighters is the father of the kid who was killed in the shootout last week and a teacher at Jefferson's school. Jefferson follows him and confronts La La -- then ends up fighting himself, defeating the bigger previously undefeated man.
The media continues to stir anti-metahuman sentiment in Freeland, specifically using video footage of Jen as Lightning due to the large amount of property damage she caused. Both Lynn and Anissa suggest Jen needs more training.
prevnextLynn
At home, Lynn injects Jen's powers to test them, specifically the healing powers while in the bathroom. Jefferson, like the girls last week, declares that she is "not like them". She says she'll stop when he becomes Black Lightning again. In therapy, Lynn admits she always feels like an outsider, even in her own family. It's a breakthrough and the therapist tells her to just be herself.
prevnextJen and Anissa
Grace wakes up from her coma and she and Anissa get married there in the hospital.
Jen turns to TC to help her track down the person who gave the news the footage of Lightning so she can release the unedited footage and clear her name. She does, but the kid is a fan and says he'll help her clear her name by going viral. She has TC set her up social media, but she also starts having side effects for going up into the upper atmosphere.
prevnextGambi
Gambi gets his tour of Monavista and discovers that the nextgen weapons have a stun setting so that they don't kill normal humans. Gambi smuggles out one of the guns so he and TC can learn more about how it works and discovers that even the stun setting is fatal.
prevnextTobias
Tobias meets with the mayor who wants the city to take money away from Garfield High School to give to him so that he can build a fancy new hospital. The mayor refuses. He later sends flowers to Lynn as though from Jefferson, tricking her into going to dinner with him. He wants her to focus all of her research on a cure for ALS in exchange for a decade's worth of funding for her institute. Jefferson ends up walking in and seeing it -- all part of Tobias' plan.
