The Power (Season 1) Episode 7 Recap:
Episode 7: Baptism
Roxy Monke (played by Ria Zmitrowicz) started creating videos about the use of EOD. As a result, she becomes a known face for making use of it. She meets young women and guides them on how they can make use of this ability and develop their skills. She says that they should channel their anger and rage to better concentrate on using their power. When a girl successfully works up an electric bolt, she hugs Roxy for helping her.
Meanwhile, the Urbandox supporter, who lit himself on fire at Margotโs (played by Toni Colette) press conference is found to be a 26-year-old dog walker named Paul Jordan. He posted disturbing content against the use of EOD in the past, which stirred many feeble male minds. Now, this incident is making several more men join a misogynist fight against the EOD. Allie / Eve (Halle Bush) sees this news from her new abode. The voice (voiced by Adina Porter) guides her to protect her Garden of Eden and teach others how to use their power.
Meanwhile, because of this attack in her motherโs press conference, Jos (played by Auliโl Cravalho) is told to go to school only in the presence of her security guards, keeping a watch on her at all times. The Paul Jordan incident clearly distresses her. A boy approaches Jos to talk against Margot. It takes Jos back to have a flashback of the brutal incident. Her guards take the boy away from attacking her.
Tunde Ojo (played by Toheeb Jimoh) is told to visit Carpathia to cover the story of Zoia (played by Ana Ularu) and the growing uprising against brutal injustice. He sits down with Declan Blease (Risteard Cooper) to talk about Zoia, who is emerging as the revolutionary leader who has built an army of freedom fighters after escaping human trafficking. Declan is certain that there will be a war. Their dialogue makes Tunde look forward to pursuing this story.
Tunde gets on a boat with a few other journalists, and he plans to speak with Zoia. He approaches Zoiaโs base after procuring a gun. He says that he is a CNN journalist. The women frisk him, interrogate, and bring him to a waiting room. He witnesses Zoia giving birth to a baby girl.
Viktor Moskalev (played by Alexandru Bindea) fits a bracelet on Tatianaโs (played by Zrinka Cvitesic) ankle to trace her location. She asks her assistant, Solongo (played by Bayra Bela), to exchange roles and experience the day being her. Solongo talks about her brother, who is in prison despite not being a criminal since he canโt pay them. Thatโs why she is trying to earn money from her job.
Allie helps Savannah break a lock to get hold of her phone. Sister Veronica (played by Emily Kuroda) has locked it inside a room to not let her call her young daughter, Riley. Subsequently, Allie shows her how to use the power to get inside. Savannah speaks with her daughter with a bruised hand. Later, while Allie tries to show EODโs use to a new joiner among other girls, Sister Veronica interrupts her. Since Allie refuses to budge by the Bibleโs rules, the sister pledges to uncover Allie’s real identity from before which she has kept as a secret. Remembering the trauma, she breaks down in tears. The Voice stays with her as a constant support.
Roxy now leaves at Bernieโs (played by Eddie Marsan) house despite her stepmotherโs resentment toward her. Roxy learns that she is getting a fine share of Bernieโs wealth according to his will. While it upsets Ricky (played by Jacob Fortune-Lloyd), Bernie still decides to go ahead with making Roxy a part of his empire. Later, she is sent to take care of a transaction to see if she is up for the responsibility of being the successor.
While meeting this supplier named Primrose (played by Phil Daniels), Roxy notices a man, an enemy of Bernieโs, walking toward the swimming pool with a woman. She threatens to pay him back. The woman walks up to her, and Roxy electrocutes her. Then she moves her finger over the water to give this man a final warning. Obviously, she looks much more confident in using her powers.
Jos has traumatic flashbacks from the Urbandox followerโs fire incident. To help herself deal with it, she watches Roxyโs online training videos that are aimed to empowered teens like her. Thatโs when she notices Ryan (played by Nico Hiraga) calling her name from the outside. She notices him between a heart-shaped light display as a romantic gesture that he created with EOD.
Jos is delighted to see Ryan accept his power and goes out to hug him. He says that he is in the fight against injustice with her. Meanwhile, Josโs Urbandox-influenced brother, Matty (played by Gerrison Machado), shoots a video of this scene. Ryan possessing this power perplexes him.
