Seahorse Motel

The Seahorse Motel is a fictional business featured in the CW Network television series Black Lightning. It first appeared in the pilot episode, "The Resurrection".

History
The Seahorse Motel was located in the neighborhood of Freeland. Members of The 100 criminal organization used it as a base of operations for their prostitution ring. Freeland Police Department inspector, Henderson, was aware of the illegal activity taking place there, but was powerless to take action against them unless he could convince the prostitutes to testify against The 100.

A man named Will abducted two women, Anissa and Jennifer Pierce, and brought them to the motel, where they were to be forced into prostitution. The girls' father, Jefferson Pierce, came out of retirement as the costumed hero, Black Lightning, and went to the hotel to rescue them. He liberated his daughters, and incapacitated Will, but within forty-eight hours, the motel was back up and running.

A woman named Lawanda White, whose daughter was one of those that The 100 had abducted, decided to stake out the motel, recording everything on her mobile device. When she saw The 100 capo, Lala, come up to the motel, she confronted him, but Lala resolved the matter quickly by shooting her three times in the chest, killing her. White's cell phone, which she had left on her car's dashboard, recorded the entire affair on video.
