- Quotes
[a battered and bloody Joey Toledo limps into Tobias' office]
Tobias Whale: What the hell happened to you?
Joey Toledo: I just fought Black Lightning. I mean, one more minute and I would have killed him, I swear. I mean, something's wrong with his head. He looked half-dead.
Tobias Whale: So, why didn't you finish him?
[Tobias grabs Joey by the throat and lifts him up in the air]
Joey Toledo: I tried, but I was all on my own. He-he trashed my gun and I couldn't take him. I tipped our guy in the department.
[Tobias drops him]
Tobias Whale: There was a time you could depend on white folks to be professional. Nowadays, white boys just as lazy and shiftless as the brothers.
Syonide: Tori's protection team checked in on schedule.
Tobias Whale: Hmm...
Syonide: All is well.
Joey Toledo: Tori's under protection?
Tobias Whale: Lady Eve sent me powder from ground albino bones, trying to mess with my head.
Joey Toledo: Or issue a warning.
Tobias Whale: Hmm. Yeah, and you're bleeding on my floor.
Joey Toledo: Sorry, boss.
Tobias Whale: Make sure we got a crew in lockup on standby and let me know as soon as the cops get him. Black Lightning doesn't live out the night.
Jefferson uses this episode to hunt down his father's killer, which we know is Tobias. With Tobias receiving pressure (a gift of Albino bone dust from Lady Eve), it might be in his best interest to make sure Black Lighting is dead for good. Peter Gambi, still being the mysterious man he is, decides to recruit Lynn to assist him. Whose side is he really on? Anissa staged a protest regarding a Confederate statue. Jennifer has some important decisions to make with Khalil. She loves him, but can she really be with him with his bitterness and motivation to join Tobias's team?
The wheels are turning. I'm very interested to see what will happen as the season progresses. Many episodes are not as politically strong as this particular one. It seemed to bother some people, but it did not bother me. These messages, delivered through these striking images, are truthful and powerful. If you want action, there is some excellent action towards the end that does not disappoint.
