What made this memorable

These were the most important moments of this series. Without this, there would be no show. Jefferson had to do whatever it takes to save his daughters and he did that. He went back on a promise to leave his life of Black Lightning behind, but desperate times as such. Jefferson realized how much Black Lightning was needed and returned to his life as a vigilante.
