Hero Report Sneak Peek: Gambi has something to confess in Black Lightning

The Flash – “Run Iris, Run” 

"IRIS SUITS UP — Team Flash confront a new bus meta, Matthew AKA Melting Pot (guest star Leonardo Nam), who has the ability to swap people’s DNA. During a battle with Team Flash, Matthew accidentally takes Barry’s (Grant Gustin) speed away and gives it to Iris (Candice Patton). Now, with a new threat unleashed on Central City, Barry must act as the team leader while Iris takes on the mantle of superhero speedster in order to defeat their new foe."

The episode that many fans of The Flash have been dreading, it’s time for Iris to suit up as a speedster. Maybe it’s the suit taken straight from the finale of The Tomorrow People, or the poor writing for Iris this season but “Run, Iris Run” does not look like a good hour. Candace Patton has long been outperforming the work given to her and hopefully, the show will eventually get her a worthy storyline. It would be nice to see her return to being a journalist rather than continue to “lead the team” but never have any real advice to give.

Black Lightning – “Revelations” 

"TRAINING DAY – Black Lightning (Cress Williams) works with Anissa (Nafessa Willaims) to help find information to clear Black Lightning’s name. Jennifer (China Anne McClain) begins interning for Lynn (Christine Adams). Meanwhile, Gambi (James Remar) finds himself in a precarious situation."

With Lady Eve’s shocking death last week, the sneak peek of Black Lightning teases a shift in the power dynamics. There’s no longer any mob boss protecting the Pierces’ and Gambi might finally have to come clean to Jefferson. It doesn’t appear like the hero is going to take the news well, especially with their relationship already on thin ice. Jennifer joining Lynn as an intern is most likely an ulterior motive for the latter to test her second daughter for powers.
