I liked a lot of what we've seen of the Dawson family (the chapter title gave out their last name) in Louisiana. Monica is all optimistic and proactive and her power kicks ass! I'm so encouraged. I liked Nana Dawson and Monica's little brother as well.
(By the way, I think Nana Dawson must be Micah's great-grandmother, not grandmother. Because we met Mrs. Hawkins last year -- she was very disapproving of Niki, if you recall -- and she did not look anything like Nichelle Nichols. Her maiden name must have been Dawson, and from D.L.'s and Monica's power, one can assume that the power runs on DL's mother's side of the family, not his father's.)
The thief being a black guy didn't bother me much, because most of the people we saw from the storylines were black, and for all my worries, there weren't much egregious racial stereotyping.

To Claire arc: I can only say, "Oy".
