Jefferson realizes that he can see the prisoners through walls as well as floors, including his archnemesis Tobias Whale. Black Lightning shares this news with Lynn, whispering, “You know the tests, the experiments they did on me? They must have opened a door in me some way.”

Lynn points the fact that Jefferson has always been able to see through things. Jefferson reveals that although he can see through things, this has never happened without his Black Lightning suit. The Black Lightning Suit has powers that interface with Gambi’s tech present inside it. Now, the visions come through naturally and much more clearly. Though this may not come as a surprise as many of the DC heroes can function without their suits, this is a significant upgrade for Black Lightning. This also means that Black Lightning now does not have to rely on his suit to utilize his powers.

Now Black Lighting can quickly scan through the walls and other obstacles, which will help him in tough situations. This will mainly be helpful while trying to safeguard Freeland. Black Lightning may still have many other technological advancements in the TV Show as the series progresses.
