Solid Episode That Advances The Plot!

Warning: Spoilers
The A.S.A are closing in on Jefferson Pierce. That's the overall theme of this episode, "Sins of the Father: The Book of Redemption." This episode is filled with tension and there are quite a few reveals. This is not my favorite episode of the season, but it is a necessary episode to move along the plot. Cress Williams continues to deliver solid performances as Jefferson, and he is this episode's MVP.

To protect his family from Martin Proctor and his goons, Jefferson moves his family to the house his father was killed in, as the Pierce girls reminded Jeff. Gambi is bruised and battered from Proctor as he tries to wring secrets out of him. Jeff does pay the bloodied Gambi a visit, but it is still clear Jeff is angry at him still. We learn more about Jennifer's powers. She creates her own power and may be the strongest out of everyone in the family. And that big reveal! Jefferson's own vice-principal, Kara is a spotter for the A.S.A...and she knows Jefferson's real identity.

Overall, this is a really solid episode that pushes the plot in the right direction. It ended with the big reveal, so we will need to see the repercussions as the season advances toward the conclusion. Great acting all around, especially from Cress Williams.

My Grade: A-
