That slap Lucky gave bigot queen Betty was oh so satisfying.    But I dread the further repercussions that will take place.    Speaking of which I wonder what will happen with Henry knocking out that bigot.    Interesting too that Ruby's hallucinations of the 'white best friend' was a coping mechanism for her to get through her crazy days.    The actress playing Ruby (Shahadi Wright Joseph) resembles actress Michaela Coel.    They could play sisters.

That blackface character was too much for me.    But it was a good way to show the buildup of Henry's frustrations with being held back on the job by none other that P.J. Byrne who also played the racist a-hole replacement principal in Black Lightning.     That definitely would burn being yanked off a project you worked hard on and having the credit for the work you did go to someone else.

I’ve been natural for over a decade now, and felt the full horror of that hot comb scene.

I knew what was in that box, but who could blame Lucky? My god, the anguish.
