Like father, like daughter.

While Jefferson Pierce (Cress Williams) continues to clean up the streets as Black Lightning, it looks like his daughter is starting her own journey as a superheroine and next week, she'll face her toughest challenge yet when she begins investigating a new drug that's hit the streets.

Watch the new promo for episode four, titled "Black Jesus," below:

"Black Jesus" - (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET) (TV-14, LV) (HDTV)

BACK IN TOWN - Black Lightning (Cress Williams) is recruited to rally against The 100 gang. Anissa (Nafessa Williams) investigates the new drug hitting the streets. Meanwhile, familiar faces begin to reappear. Christine Adams, James Remar, Damon Gupton III and Marvin Jones also star. The episode was written by Pat Charles and directed by Michael Schultz (#104). Original airdate 2/6/2018.

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.

Black Lightning features:
Cress Williams as Jefferson Pierce/Black Lightning
China Anne McClain as Jennifer Pierce
Nafessa Williams as Anissa Pierce
Christine Adams as Lynn Pierce
James Remar as Peter Gambi
Damon Gupton as Henderson

Black Lightning returns with an all-new episode February 6

So far this week, good to very good episodes from the DC shows. Once again, we are off to a pretty good start for the week.

1. Black Lightning
2. Supergirl
3. Flash

HeavyMetal4Life - 1/30/2018, 8:31 PM

I hope that at some point we get some backstory to Black Lightning. I'd like him to be properly introduced and for us to really see his origin and an explanation for who he is and what he did. Maybe some flashbacks, maybe an episode that is fully set in the past, idk. But I hope they explain all of this.
