Synopsis

When Tanya, a disciple of Coville's, escapes from what’s left of his cult, she gives Kara and James a journal that could hold the key to saving Sam. Someone learns Guardian’s identity and threatens to expose James if he doesn’t do what they ask. James contemplates what it means to be a black vigilante without a mask in America.^[1]

Trivia

The games arcade is called "Fun Centre", the Canadian spelling, showing that it was filmed in Canada.
In the beginning of the episode, Lena mentions the ability to infuse DNA into plants by coating the surface with metal particles and infiltrating the interior. This actually exists, it is called a gene gun.
The getaway car that the cult members use to kidnap Tanya has a license plate reading "590 WUG". Tanya's character is a linguistics professor, so this is likely a reference to wugs, small cartoonish birds used in a famous linguistics experiment on child language acquisition that are popularly used as a symbol for the field of linguistics.
