Anissa and Jefferson put on their masks to fight this in Freeland- how will we fight it? I sometimes feel the show can be a little heavy handed with things, but at the same time I have to ask, why should they shy away from it? White nationalists marching proudly and Confederate statues being destroyed are all hallmarks of this era being burned into our consciousness lest we forget it. ![]() Not mincing words, the writers and creators have made a bold choice to have the Pierces exist at this point in time. I didn’t expect them to go full on tiki torches, Charlottesville on us though. Black Lives Matter, lesbian relationships, police brutality, colorism, sex trafficking- you name it and they’ve touched it. The Real Tumblrīlack Lightning has done a whole lot in just a short period of time. “Listen and stay honest about what you hear”- this Jeffersonism is one for Jennifer and the tv audience to live by. His pep talks to her have been so on point his relationship with her is one that I’m sure many girls long to have with their fathers and truly cherish if they are lucky enough to have it already. Lately its been Jeff and Jennifer giving us the lovey dovey moments. Then of course there’s Jeff and Lynn- though she wasn’t giving him too much love this episode until the end. A big sister studying molecular/cellular biology stopping to check her little sister’s pre-calculus homework, which she got all correct, was powerful imagery for black kids everywhere.

Anissa and Jennifer are hands down my favorite siblings on television right now. Thinking about the Pierce family gives me all kinds of good feelings. Writing about anything else in the episode doesn’t seem as interesting after the epic showdown, but here goes: Do these three keep these secrets from Jennifer? Will they run tests on Jennifer to see if she has the meta human gene? So many questions. When Lynn repeated the words, “She has powers” to Jefferson, he seemed to finally understand the pain and horror that Lynn tried to convey each time he suited up. The shock and hurt on Anissa’s face-heart wrenching. Then the grief stricken look as he watched her in the ambulance and as she lay in bed just broke my heart. She didn’t go down without a fight, and she blasted him a time or two, but when he slammed her face first, I had to turn my head. Though the fight was entertaining as hell, I hate having to say this, Jefferson beat Anissa’s ass. I guess I should have known the Black Lightning writers didn’t come to play from the pilot. What can I say? Jefferson and Anissa were bound to come face to face at some point, but it never occurred to me that they would take each other on like they did. I usually try to have some sort of order about my thinking when writing a review, but with Three Sevens: The Book of Thunder, I have to write things a little out of order because of the sheer magnitude of how Jefferson and Anissa ended the episode.
