What Is “Let There Be Darkness” About?

Rogue and the 113 must identify the source of the blinding agent and find a cure as people across Nashville become seriously ill. The crisis reaches Blythe, giving the emergency a personal connection alongside its wider impact.

Meanwhile, Sam and Roxie perform an emergency heart transplant. ABC’s synopsis also confirms that Blythe discovers Sam’s secret, but leaves the details of that discovery and the outcome of the operation unrevealed.
