Black Lightning continues to dominate and after another action-packed episode that saw Jefferson Pierce (Cress Williams) and Peter Gambi (James Remar) sort of make amends, next week's hour will see the duo continue their efforts to take down the ASA, however, things take a turn for the worst when Jefferson gets arrested.
Fortunately, his superpowered daughter Anissa (Nafessa Williams) there to pick up the slack as she works with Gambi to prove to the world that Black Lightning is not her father (even though he is). Meanwhile, Lynn (Christine Adams) will seek out help from Detective Henderson (Damon Gupton).
Watch the new promo for episode ten, titled "Black Jesus: The Book of Crucifixion," below:
"Black Jesus: The Book of Crucifixion" - (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET) (TV-14, DLV) (HDTV)
AND JUSTICE FOR ALL - As suspicions grow that Jefferson Pierce (Cress Williams) is Black Lightning, the ASA arranges to have him arrested. Lynn (Christine Adams) seeks help from Detective Henderson (Damon Gupton). Meanwhile, as Jefferson is in custody, Gambi (James Remar) and Anissa (Nafessa Williams) work together to show Black Lightning is still running around the streets of Freeland. China Anne McClain and Marvin Jones III also star. The episode was written by Melora Rivera and directed by Michael Schultz (#111). Original airdate 4/3/2018.
Jefferson Pierce (Cress Williams) is a man wrestling with a secret. As the father of two daughters and principal of a charter high school that also serves as a safe haven for young people in a New Orleans neighborhood overrun by gang violence, he is a hero to his community. Nine years ago, Pierce was a hero of a different sort. Gifted with the superhuman power to harness and control electricity, he used those powers to keep his hometown streets safe as the masked vigilante Black Lightning. However, after too many nights with his life on the line, and seeing the effects of the damage and loss that his alter ego was inflicting on his family, he left his Super Hero days behind and settled into being a principal and a dad. Choosing to help his city without using his superpowers, he watched his daughters Anissa (Nafessa Williams) and Jennifer (China Anne McClain) grow into strong young women, even though his marriage to their mother, Lynn (Christine Adams), suffered. Almost a decade later, Pierce’s crime-fighting days are long behind him…or so he thought. But with crime and corruption spreading like wildfire, and those he cares about in the crosshairs of the menacing local gang The One Hundred, Black Lightning returns — to save not only his family, but also the soul of his community.
