Black Lightning, The Book of Ruin: Chapter Two. What happened to Jennifer Pierce? That s the question Black Lightning left us with last week after Gambi (James Remar) reconstituted Jennifer s physical body, which exploded in the ionosphere. To the Pierce family s surprise, actress China Anne McClain, who played Jennifer, didn t emerge from the rebirth pod once the process was done. Instead, new actress Laura Kariuki did, implying that the role of Jennifer had been recast. Thankfully, Monday night s Black Lightning wasted no time offering up an in-story explanation/theory for the actor swap. The CW superhero drama s latest installment began with Jennifer (Kariuki) being horrified when she discovered she looked completely different. From there, Gambi ran multiple tests, all of which confirmed that this was indeed Jennifer Pierce, even though her dad, Jefferson (Cress Williams), couldn t quite believe it.
Black Lightning on the CW. Jefferson Pierce and his family squashed the Markovian invasion in season 3 of Black Lightning, but the cost of that war is at the heart of the CW superhero drama s fourth and final season, which premiered Monday. Picking up a year after the season 3 finale, season opener The Book of Reconstruction: Chapter One found Jefferson (Cress Williams), who had given up being Black Lightning, mourning the death of his best friend, Chief Bill Henderson (Damon Gupton). Jefferson s grief not only created a rift between him and Lynn (Christine Adams), but also made him angry. He took his rage out on two police officers harassing an innocent Black kid, electrocuting them and destroying their car. Then after Jennifer, a.k.a. Lightning (China Anne McClain), was injured during a drug bust, he tracked down the gang member who shot her and put him in the hospital. In other words, our hero is in a dark place.
