Id be lying if I said I werent in my feelings.
Did Effie really kill Lauren?
Tariq is his fathers son for sure!
Remember, it was his fathers actions that cost Angela her life.
And similar to his father, Tariqs demons are beginning to haunt him more frequently.
Episode nine begins with us in the middle of Tariqs nightmare.
They also accuse him of not playing fair.
Was it fair that he left Proctors door unlocked so Tommy could sneak in?
Or that he set up Cane?
Like most of the people who died, Tariqs unable to take accountability.
Ghost calls Carries phone, and Tariq refuses to answer.
The more he tries not to be like his father, the more he becomes his father.
As he tries to exit, Lauren shows up (foreshadowing her death?
), and he begs her not to go into the classroom.
Surprisingly, she encourages him to answer the call.
Awakened by his phone ringing in real life, Tariq answers Davis MacLeans call.
MacLean is trying to figure out what Jenny Sullivan and Rashad Tate have on his client.
Tate is Sullivans next witness, but little does she know, Tate is corrupt and self-serving.
Fishing for information, Tate goes to his brother to inquire about Jennys motives.
The detective tells him that Jenny plans to use him to repair Carries image.
Because the woman keeps changing her story, the younger Tate brother doesnt believe her.
He wastes zero time saying something to Tariq, though.
And that he does!
While on the stand, the judge is not impressed with Jennys questioning of Tate.
Davis calls for a dismissal of the case, arguing a Brady violation.
Agreeing with Davis, the judge gives Jenny 48 hours to prove her office didnt withhold exculpatory evidence.
Meanwhile, the community is under the impression that Carrie committed suicide.
The two meet over drinks, and Dante sells him a dream.
Knowing that Zeke is upset with Monet, he pushes for Zeke to continue a relationship with her.
As Dante tries to piece together his imaginary family, Dru and Diana plot to save theirs.
Dru tells him the truth about what happened, and Lorenzo demands that they get his drugs back.
Diana has been semi ostracized because of her outburst at dinner, airing all of the familys dirty laundry.
Lorenzo wastes no time and gets the drugs out to the streets quick!
The same cannot be said for Monet.
Monet tells Zeke about having him at 16 and how hard it was when they took Zeke from her.
Zeke asks if she had anything to do with Carries death.
Monet blames the information leak and shooting on Lorenzo.
While all of this is happening, Jenny works hard to nail Tariq.
She switches up her strategy and goes after the Westons.
Because of his fuckup, Kamaal gifts her with Ramirezs dash camera footage.
Jenny confronts Brayden with the recording on Laurens wire of him and Cane.
Brayden denies knowing him, but Trace runs his mouth as if hes getting paid to do so.
Trace is willing to testify, but Brayden isnt.
Well aware of Braydens loyalty to Tariq, Jenny agrees to immunity for both, regardless of who testifies.
Feeling guilty, Lauren attempts to explain herself to Tariq.
Tariq makes the mistake of venting to Effie about Lauren and the wire they both view her differently.
Brayden is no killer, but he also knows snitching wont do him any good either.
He chooses not to kill Lauren.
We are left to speculate whether or not she killed Lauren if she did, thats so fucked up!
Mecca basically kidnaps him.
He also yokes Cane up and tells him he knows he stole his drugs.
Things turn for the worse once Mecca realizes his go-bag is gone.
Cane denies taking it, but Mecca cuts his access off and locks him in the penthouse.
He heads to Stansfield.
Thinking hes about to die, Cane calls Monet.
She tells Cane to send her a picture of Mecca.
After receiving a warning from Cane, Tariq looks in the go-bag.
He finds bank accounts in Tejadas kids names and a cooperation agreement for Dante Spears.
He quickly hides the bag and reaches out to Davis for info on Dante Spears.
Mecca returns to the penthouse to find Monet.
She now knows that Dante is Mecca.
