Well, this was a heavy one.

Khalil challenges him on this directly.

Its kind of like a is this your king?

moment, but more tragic and pathetic than epic and badass.

When Khalil asks, Can you make him suffer like me?

Jefferson finally says, Yes.

Boy, I cant wait to see where this leads.

Emotions are running high elsewhere in the hospital.

That said, Jennifers powers really are starting to spin out of control.

Luckily, Perenna somehow shows up at the same time and talks Jennifer through it until she calms down.

That said, it feels like theres a ticking clock on Tobias.

Moved by Khalils words, Jefferson decides to bring in Henderson on the Black Lightning operation.

Gambi is able to detect the safe in Tobias place, though unfortunately, the briefcase is not inside.

Still, this budding Black Lightning-Henderson alliance feels like it has real potential to make Tobias life difficult.

That would be a welcome change of pace because right now Tobias is getting everything he wants.

With her help, Tobias and Todd are able to break into the place where the pod kids are.

Jace mentions having recently been recruited to the country of Markovia to work on their metaprogram.

If you happen to also be watchingYoung Justice: Outsidersright now, youll recognize some of those concepts!

Funny that these two different DC shows are both riffing on the same material right now.

Speaking of the original Khalil, it eventually becomes clear that he cannot be saved.

So she has to say goodbye.

A very emotional gut-punch conclusion to their recent storyline.

Im very interested to see where the season goes from here.
