Grab your popcorn and letโs get startedโฆโฆ
We left off last season with Angela (Lela Loren) arresting Ghost/Jamie (Omari Hardwick) for the murder of Agent Greg Knox (Andy Bean). Fast forward to this season Ghost is in jail and his lawyer is basically telling him the evidence is flaky and everything is going to be okay. Last time I checked though how does finding your finger prints on the outside of an FBI agentโs window count as flaky???? Hmmmโฆ. Ghost lawyer though tells him bail should be easy to get and to make sure he stays out of trouble in jail and present himself as an upstanding citizen of the community. Easier said than done. ๐ They didn’t know they would be going up against a new DA, John Mak (Sung Kang). Not sure what to think about John Mak yet, but something tells me he’s just as crooked as everyone else going off of attitude and body language. (Just call me psychiatrist Tavi. ๐ )
Meanwhile Ghost off again on again wife Tasha (Naturi Naughton) has no idea where Ghost or her son Tariq (Michael Rainey Jr.) is. She gets a call from Ghostโs lawyer letting her know that Ghost was arrested at the club and she needs to come up with bail money. She freaks of course and heads straight to the vault to come up with the possibly $2 Million in bail money needed. She gets to the vault andโฆ..NOTHINGโs THERE! Nada! Ghost done left her a note that says โsorryโ andโ heโll put it back.โ I am NOT that ride or die chick, so by that point I was already likeโฆ.whelp looks like he has to find his own bail money then. LOL
Tasha, however, is that ride or die chick so she calls to see how much the penalty would be if she borrows against her kids trust fund. We already know that was expensive by the tears she shed on the phone. She wasnโt ready to part with that money yetโฆ.and started thinking of other optionsโฆ.though limited.
Meanwhile Tasha is also dealing with the situation of where her son is and then gets a picture of Tariq knocked out and a demand for ransom. (Yaโll they broke!!!) Kanan and the crew gave Tariq something to knock him out so they can send the pic. Tasha calls Tommy (Joseph Sikora) to help her out locating her son and Tommy knows whereverย Tariq is Dre would probably know about it (which he does). Dre (Rotimi Akinosho) makes a deal with Kanan/AKA Slim (Curtis Jackson, Known as 50 cent) that if he lets him take Tariq home heโll give the crew close to $50K a week. Now how he gonna do that?!?! My thought is why doesnโt he just tell Tommy???? (If Tommy and Ghost got rid of crazy a$$ Milan Iโm sure they can handle Kanan).
Meanwhile back at Ghost and Tasha Residenceโฆ Lakeisha (LaLa Anthony), Tasha off again on again best friend stops by to check on Tasha after hearing of Ghost arrest. There having their sista moment when all of a sudden the whole FBI (and I mean whole FBIโฆ.look like there was about 100 of them)โฆbust in to serve Tasha with a house search warrant. To make matters worseโฆ.who walks in after themโฆ.ANGELA! Really?!?! How are they even letting her remain on this case??? Oooohhh the look Tasha and Lakeisha give her expresses what weโre all feelingโฆwhy is this TRICK walking up in her house?!?! Angela then asks Tasha if there’s any guns in the house. They both go and get the gun from the safe together. It was hilarious when Angela asks Tasha if itโs loaded and she quips โOf Course not, any responsible adult with children knows not to keep a loaded gun in the houseโ. HAHAHAHAH (Remember Angela didnโt lock up her gun and Tariq ended up stealing it).
At least by the end of the episode one of Tashaโs problems is solved. Dre brings Tariq home and Tommy knows Dre is up toย no good, but canโt prove it. We all know Tommy isnโt going to let his suspicions go, so will shall see how this develops.
This episode Tommy proves to himself and everyone else heโs a boss. From being able to get the bail money (that ended up not being needed for Ghost), to being there to assist in finding Tariq, to now being the connect for the drug world. This episode was all about Tommy stepping up. I wonder how heโs really dealing inside though with the loss of his pregnant girlfriend Holly (Lucy Walters) last season. Is it bad I was sort of glad they got rid of her last season. She annoyed me. LOL.
We end this episode with the prisonย guards accusing Ghost of stepping out of line and taking him to an isolated area for a beating. I would be remised if I didnโt pay tribute to the guard โ Charles Murphy. This was the last acting gig before his deathย in real life for Comedian/Actor Charles Murphy.ย ย ๐
Canโt wait to see whatโs in store for episode 2! Power Comes on Starz Sunday nightโs at 8:00pm Central or you can watch on the Starzย app at 12:01am Sundays at starz.tv/watchpower.
Side note: Larenz Tateย is part of the Power Season 4 cast. Canโt wait to see who he plays! In the meantime hereโs a throwback of when I went to his TV showย meet and greetย for Games of Silence. Your girl Tavi J from Chi@glance be making the rounds. ๐
Hope you enjoyed Season 4 Episode 1 Power Recap!
