'Black Lightning' season 2 episode 2: Anissa aka Thunder finds a new love interest in 'Black Jesus Blues'

Everything you need to know about what happened in the 'Rise of the Green Light Babies' and what is to come in the upcoming episode of 'Black Lightning'

Season 2 of ‘Black Lightning’ was off to a great start with The CW show re-establishing itself as the grounded superhero show that predominantly represents the black communities in the country. More importantly, we learned that the minor win in season 1 is going to remain just that, a minor win, with some pressing matters that need Jefferson’s (Cress Williams) immediate attention.  

Jefferson has lost his job, Tobias (Marvin "Krondon" Jones III) has a newfound rage after losing the very last person he cared about, in the previous episode, and Jennifer (China Anne McClain) is still struggling with her uncontrollable powers. Needless to say, Jefferson is left with a lot on his plate. To top that off, the second half of his superhero duo, who also happens to be his daughter, Anissa aka Thunder (Nafessa Williams), is playing Robin Hood with the money of the criminals.
