This was something of a disjointed episode, and disappointingly anticlimactic.
For instance, we start the episode on an intriguing note.
Some random Freeland resident dresses up in a cape and ends up in a standoff with police.

Despite not showing any indications of superpowers, the cops shoot him anyway.
And what does it mean for Black Lightning and Thunder that their example is inspiring such deaths?

The doctor agrees wholeheartedly because he was apparently in love withLady Eve, whom Tobias had assassinated.
One is Darryl Robinson, a.k.a.
Then theres Rebecca Jones, a.k.a.
New Wave, whose powers are described as hydrokinesis and water-body conversion.
Needless to say, Im really looking forward to seeing her in action.
Heatstroke, who possesses pyrokinesis, the ability to control fire.
Tobias wastes no time sending Heatstroke into action.
Thats quite a brutal moment.
Thats a job for Black Lightning and Thunder, and they waste little time in arriving on the scene.
While Black Lightning holds Heatstroke still with his lightning whip, Thunder crashes into him on a motorcycle.
Cutter throws three of her knives directly into his chest, for all the good it does.
Luckily for her, Lala shoots like a stormtrooper, and she manages to get away without a scratch.
This felt really anticlimactic to me.
As Cutter and Tobias make their way to a getaway car, Jennifer attempts to attack.
But her new suit isnt ready, and she doesnt do much damage.
