Black Lightning: The Book of Markovia: Chapter Three

February 4, 2020 4:15 AM - Season 3, Episode 12

Jefferson and Anissa join forces with the ASA to help one of their own. Meanwhile, Lynn is forced to continue battling her demons.

TV Fanatic recap - "Only the worst-case scenarios can unite such two opposing forces for one cause. It would have to be a terrible fate that they'd both want to overcome. Tobias and Lynn getting kidnapped by the Markovians sounds about right! On Black Lightning Season 3 Episode 12, the heroes (and their foes) agreed to band together for a rescue mission into enemy territory."

wait, how did Sergeant Gardner Grayle escape capture by Markovians while Lynn and Tobias didn't? That's the most confusing thing or the most glaring plot hole.

I liked the rest of the episode though, especially with Jefferson going "so now we have _two_ strangers in the sanctum?" And the Khalil became the 3rd!

I'm liking the idea of the whole team going to Markovia to rescue Lynn. That'll be pretty special.

However, I can't help but feel like "this could be easily solved if you just called in the Super Friends". I mean, you would think in a world where Supergirl and Superman and the Flash exist together, most of the major villainy stuff in the world could be solved quickly, and that all the Markovia and Freeland shenanigans could be resolved easily.

I mean, Barry can literally just hope over, find Lynn, phase her out, and bring her back.

Although, to be fair, Barry is an idiot on his own show. So.
