In episode 1 “A Better Future is in Your Hands”, women suddenly develop the ability to generate electrical charges within their bodies, making them physically more powerful than men. The episode introduced us to several characters from different parts of the world whose lives were impacted by this power shift, including Allie, a young woman in Nigeria; Margot, a politician in the United States; Roxy, the daughter of a London crime family; and Tatiana, a young girl in Moldova.

Episode 2 “The World is on Fuking Fire”, starts with a news report about the ongoing global chaos caused by the power shift. In Chicago, Margot meets with her advisor, Frank (Rob Delaney), to discuss how they can use her newly discovered power to her advantage in the governor’s race. Margot initially tries to keep her power a secret, but when she accidentally shocks her daughter Jocelyn (Zoe Boyle), she decides to use her power to win the election.

Meanwhile, in London, Roxy is recruited by her father to help the family business, but she is more interested in using her power to take down her father’s rivals. She meets a woman named Jamie (Nina Toussaint-White) who runs a safe house for women with the power, and together they plan to take over the city’s criminal underworld.

In Nigeria, Allie becomes a symbol of hope for women who have been oppressed by men. She is interviewed by a journalist named Tunde (played by Tunde Adebimpe, who also plays Allie’s foster brother), and they discuss the potential for a better future where women are in control. However, Allie’s growing influence also attracts the attention of the military, who see her as a threat.

Back in the United States, Margot’s campaign takes a dark turn when her opponent accuses her of using her power to manipulate people. Margot denies the allegations, but when her team discovers that her power is linked to a specific emotional trigger, they use it to create a fake terrorist attack to rally support for her campaign.

The episode ends with a montage of women around the world using their power to fight back against men who have oppressed them, as a cover of the song “The Power” by Snap! plays in the background.

Overall, “The World is on Fu*king Fire” continues to explore the themes introduced in the first episode and expands on the ways in which the power shift is impacting different parts of society. The episode also introduces new characters and plotlines, setting the stage for the rest of the series.
