This latest Black Lightning arc has been the most ironic so far...No wonder the episode is titled "Gift of the Magi," in reference to that most famous of ironic O. Henry stories.

3/5

The Book of Rebellion: Chapter 2: Gift of the Magi, is an interesting enough episode, although it lays a little flat as a mid-season finale.

Freeland's favorite star-crossed lovers are still on the run, but as we see in "The Book of Rebellion: Chapter Two-Gift of the Magi," Jennifer and Khalil are more Romeo and Juliet than Bonnie and Clyde.

2.5/5

'Gift of the Magi' hits a lot of the same narrative beats as last week's episode-the solidifying of Jennifer/Khalil's bond and the stresses of Jennifer's disappearance on the Pierce family-making it somewhat redundant.
