The women of 'Black Lightning' are raring to go as they talk of embracing their powers and creating their own stories in season 2

Following Jefferson's footsteps the women in 'Black Lightning' season 2 are setting out on their own paths to help solve the Green Light babies case.

The Pierce women are back to take up their responsibilities as they follow the footsteps of Jefferson Pierce aka Black Lightning, to find their own path. Season 2 of the CW comic-book show 'Black Lightning' has already hit the screens and as Jefferson struggles to maintain a balance between his family and the ongoing case of the Green Light babies, the women of the Pierce family are coming forward to play their respective roles in the time of crisis. 

Season 1 had left all three women in quite vulnerable states. Lynn, played by Christine Adams, was initially cynical about her ex-husband, Jefferson getting back to the world with his powers. However, although she eventually did let go of the thought, she remained protective of her daughters, Anissa (played by Nafessa Williams) and Jennifer (played by China Anne McClain) who have recently gained their own superpowers as Thunder and Blue Lightning. After committing a murder towards the end of Season 1, Lynn cannot trace her steps back and as a doctor but she is now determined to help the children who have succumbed to the Green Light drug.
