(WARNING: Spoilers for this week’s Energy E-book II: Ghost episode will likely be discovered beneath.)
We’ve got lastly reached the purpose in season three of Power Book II: Ghost the place we are able to say that the whole lot that was achieved in the dead of night, has certainly come to mild. There’s loads of backstabbing and deception that goes on in a season of Energy E-book II: Ghost, but it surely appears to happen extra often and with extra audacity this season up till episode six to this point. Simply give it some thought: Jenny Sullivan tricked folks about Lauren’s loss of life to construct a case round Tariq for allegedly having her murdered, Saxe is working with Sullivan to take down Tariq and the Tejadas, Monet secretly had Lorenzo killed by Gordo who’s Dru’s lover this season, and Tariq and Brayden are working an entire drug operation in Weston Holdings. So yeah, there’s an entire lotta trickery happening this season, but it surely’s all part of the drama that makes Energy E-book II: Ghost such a needed watch. Talking of that drama…
In episode seven of Energy E-book II: Ghost, titled “Deal Or No Deal,” the true nature of the whole lot that’s happening within the Energy E-book II: Ghost world will get revealed. Brayden finds out that Kiki is aware of that he and Tariq are promoting medicine out of the Weston Holdings constructing. Brayden additionally learns that the operation run by his uncle at Weston Holdings is a Ponzi scheme that Kiki is concerned with. That implies that the belief fund cash Tariq put into it, in addition to the Tejada cash, are in huge jeopardy. On the Tejadas’ aspect of issues, Dru finds out that Gordo was the one who killed his father, and regardless of their rising love, he makes the emotionally powerful choice to kill him. In fact, Monet comforts him as if she wasn’t the one which enlisted Gordo to kill Lorenzo. Sadly, karma got here again for her as Diana was arrested to shut the episode. Oh, and Tariq? Yeah, he not solely is aware of {that a} RICO case is being constructed round him, however he additionally is aware of that Saxe helps put it collectively. Loads of drama this week! Let’s get into it.
Listed below are among the greatest takeaways that we’ve got after season three’s seventh episode, “Deal Or No Deal”:
Tariq Wants To Brace Himself For The Fall
Tariq has impressed us for the reason that unique Energy sequence along with his means to wiggle out of any state of affairs regardless of how unlikely it appears that evidently he can break away. He’s beat homicide accusations and fees and he’s walked away from jail on technicalities that appear a bit too dramatic for one in all TV’s most dramatic crime reveals proper now. Nevertheless, with the feds nearer to him than ever with a RICO case, it appears rattling close to unattainable that Tariq can break away from this one. Diana was caught and arrested for transferring medicine on Stansfield’s campus, and people medicine have been linked to others that have been discovered at a number of places which all join again to Tariq. There are the murders of Jabari Reynolds, Carrie Milgram, Lorenzo, Zeke, and Mecca which make the entire state of affairs worse. The feds have all of it mapped out with Lauren and Saxe because the confidential informants. Lauren broke that confidentiality to inform Tariq what was happening, and although he desires to place forth a plan to get out of this jam, it’s simply too little too late. Similar to after the medicine that have been present in his dorm in season two, Tariq will simply need to brace himself for this fall as a result of there’s no method out of what’s subsequent. In truth, he might not even have the ability to beat the case as he did final season.
Monet Underestimated Everybody’s Intelligence
I can’t ever resolve if Monet is blinded by her perceived invincibility and standing or if the whole lot she does is a part of a yet-to-be-revealed plan. For now, I’m going to say that she underestimated everybody’s intelligence, particularly Cane and Dru’s. It simply doesn’t make sense that Monet would go to Gordo’s household to not directly counsel that Lorenzo needs to be killed for killing Gordo’s father Frank, simply to enlist Gordo to do it himself, all to have the proof lead Dru to find that Gordo did it, which results in Dru killing Gordo. It’s only a messy state of affairs altogether. Dru will likely be vocal about killing Gordo to avenge his father’s loss of life, however issues will take a flip for the more severe when Frank’s spouse realizes that the Tejadas are as soon as once more accountable for a loss of life within the household. Monet initially approached Frank’s spouse with the data that Lorenzo killed Frank with the hope that the household would kill Lorenzo in retaliation. Now, Gordo’s loss of life after killing Lorenzo will appear like a setup to take them down and we are able to solely think about what that result in. Monet underestimated Dru’s means to determine Lorenzo’s actual killer, after which there’s Cane who seemingly knew one thing was up the entire time. Monet is the queen, however her crew isn’t stuffed with peasants and it’s solely a matter of time till this blows again on her.
Lauren Can Save The Day, However Not The Week
Man, bless Lauren! It was trying like she had her thoughts set on tearing down Tariq resulting from her perception that he was part of Effie’s plan to homicide her. Fortunately, thanks to a couple meetups and telephone calls that gave Tariq the prospect to share his aspect of the story, the reality, Lauren was satisfied that it was a plan that Effie enacted all on her personal. Nonetheless, it’s a bit too late for Lauren to speak Sullivan out of pushing the RICO cost on Tariq and firm, however with the little little bit of time that they’ve left, she offers Tariq two items of knowledge that can show to be useful to him transferring ahead. 1) She confirms that Saxe is working with Sullivan and Sergent Rodriguez to place the RICO case collectively, and a pair of) She guarantees to purchase slightly extra time for Tariq to piece collectively a plan in preparation for this RICO. For somebody that many believed can be unable to carry it down when occasions acquired tough, Lauren is doing her half to cushion the blow that’s approaching Tariq. She will be able to save the day, or a day, for Tariq, however nothing greater than that. Nonetheless, the trouble is appreciated.
Saxe’s “Win” Gained’t Imply Something In The Lengthy Run
I’ve mentioned it as soon as, I’ve mentioned it twice, and I’ll say it 1,000,000 extra occasions: Saxe taking part in either side is dumb. For the reason that unique Energy sequence, we’ve recognized Saxe to be extremely egocentric, however this time round, his strikes with the opposition (his former crew) are so illogical as a result of there isn’t a adequate win for him to be egocentric about acquiring. Tariq and Davis McClean each know that Saxe is working with the feds, so his connection and future work with McClean are nearly as good as useless. Saxe’s work with Sullivan and Rodriguez can be an enormous moral violation within the regulation world that can make it unattainable for him to work anyplace else just because he’ll be past untrustworthy. All this to place a St. Patrick in jail, one thing he hasn’t been in a position to do in years, and that is underneath the idea that he’s efficiently in a position to put Tariq, the Tejadas, and possibly even McClean in jail and preserve them there. Saxe is so determined for this win that he can’t see the implications that come after it, and man, it’s not going to be fairly. However hey, that is the mattress he made so he’s gotta lay in it.
