In this episode of PowerBook II: Ghost, the aftermath and revenge of Diana\u2019s brutal beating, and tragic loss of her baby is on the Tejada family, and Tariq\u2019s #1 agenda, to say the least. At first I was upset when Diana gave Tariq the cold shoulder at the hospital, and demanded he leave. However, after explaining to him that this is what being in the game looks like, which is why she wanted no parts of it, and showed him what his \u201cprotection\u201d cost her and their baby, it all made sense.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Councilman Rashad Tate grieves over his brother Kamaal in the morgue, with Detective Carter looking on, using the opportunity the manipulate the situation to falsely claim that the Russians were responsible for Kamaal\u2019s death. However, Rashad isn\u2019t a fool because he gives Carter an ultimatum that if the NYPD doesn\u2019t find out who killed Kamaal, he\u2019s going to the press. Carter\u2019s focus was now to kill one of the Russians, which he eventually did, just to get Rashad off his back, but one of Carter\u2019s men on the squad, Nico, senses something is off. He suspects Carter is hiding a lot more than he\u2019s letting on from the very suspicious obsession over Kamaal\u2019s real killer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Drew is still under Carter\u2019s thumb while in prison, doing dangerous jobs in exchange for guaranteed protection of his family. His latest target is a dangerous and feared inmate named Roman of a guy named Roman, giving Drew more trouble than he needs. Drew sneaks into Roman\u2019s cell at night and strangles him to death and staging it as a suicide. Since Drew\u2019s \u201cdebt\u201d is paid, he is released from prison thanks to Carter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We also see Tariq visit his mom, who advises him to leave the game and stay out of the Tejada\u2019s plot to kill Felicia. Unfortunately, her advice goes in one ear and out of the other when Diana calls him over to Felicia\u2019s house in a panic, where they fought, and Diana ended up beating Felicia to death.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Noma ordered Cane to find the informant who tipped off Carter and his task force, so Cane, Effie, and Tariq\u2019s roommate and best friend Brayden made up a story to get into a cop\u2019s house to steal information from his laptop. This was clever seeing how the cop\u2019s wife was home alone and started to suspect something was off about this random \u201cvisit.\u201d However, they ended up getting everything they needed, leaving just in time to remove all her suspicions. To say I was shocked comes as an understatement when Cane proposes to Noma offering her citizenship and a real partnership instead of being her \u201cemployee.\u201d She seemed grateful but time will tell if she accepts his proposal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The episode concludes with Monet arriving at Felicia\u2019s house, finding Diana and Tariq over Felicia\u2019s dead body. Just as they were about to leave, Carter and Drew arrive, where Monet learns that Drew has been \u201cworking\u201d for Carter, and giving him information, and Noma\u2019s name to protect them. However, all Carter wants is leverage over Noma, offering to cover up Felicia\u2019s murder as an \u201caccident\u201d if they help him. As Tariq leaves, Carter whispers to him ominously, \u201cWelcome to the Team.\u201d This season has been packed with explosive drama, ruthless power, and shocking twists. I can\u2019t wait to see what happens next. Will the Tejada\u2019s and Tariq deliver on Carter\u2019s demands? Will Noma agree to marry Cane? This is by far one of the most intense seasons of PowerBook: Ghost, that I don\u2019t want to end!\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
