![]() Making the sequence so powerful was the switch from the memorial of the unnamed Freeland character to footage of actual protests from the last year - to say nothing of airing the episode so close to the one-year anniversary of Taylor’s death. Meanwhile, the episode also featured the crazy powerful “what if” moment with Black Lightning stopping a scenario pointedly similar to the murder of Breonna Taylor. ![]() ![]() Of course, we’re still not sure if we’ll see her again before the end … but considering the way Jen took center stage in Black Lightning‘s “Crisis on Infinite Earths” tie-in episode, it is possible McClain will appear one last time to properly hand off the character. solved a number of problems and allows the character to remain on the show despite McClain’s intention to leave. The occupation last season pretty much removed Garfield as a setting, but to see again in the first couple episodes this year really underscored just how odd it was for Jen to still be there.Įither way, introducing J.J. For as much as the show wanted a teen element, it never really sat right once Jen got her powers and ran off with Khalil ( Jordan Calloway). Also, whether its McClain or Kariuki, Jennifer really should be over 18 at this point. Kariuki would really look like a cosplayer. As it was, McClain looked absurd in the Garfield High uniform. We hope that maturity does play out and TC sets her up as being older than 18. Second, her initial willingness to sit a fight out seems like a new maturity even if TC ( Christopher A’mmanuel) talked into suiting up. Nevertheless, Kariuki brings so much of McClain’s fire to the role while also establishing a few new things: her increased height, for one. In fact, this is the whole point of the episode as Jefferson ( Cress Williams) avoids embracing her as a reconstituted Jen.
