Am I watching episode eight ofPower Book IIor a movie??
And I have two words Dirty Dianaaaa!
We start off at Tariqs trial.
Davis objects and demands to hear the recording before it is presented in court, and the judge obliges.
While Tariq is fighting for his freedom, Brayden and Effie are out searching for quality product.
They meet up with one of Braydens friends in a run-down motel.
Effie determines that the product is no good and immediately stops the business transaction.
Back at the courthouse, Tariqs trust-fund attorney visits him.
Warren tells him that Yaz will soon be adopted by lovely people.
The plot twist is this was a part of James St. Patricks will.
As Warren walks away, Davis approaches Tariq and presses him about the prosecutions alleged taped confession.
According to Davis, things are looking bad for Tariq.
And the only way to fix it is, you guessed it, for him to get paid.
He demands that Tariq have his money as soon as the next day.
Davis is not the only one making demands.
Over at the Tejadas ununiformed house, Monet seeks information about Lorenzo and Dru from Diana.
Once the coast is clear, she snoops through her mothers room and finds Zekes baby picture.
This sends the young Tejada down a spiraling investigation.
She calls the hospital for Zekes birth certificate and learns about his birth year.
Tariq seems to always find himself the topic of everyones conversation.
Jenny and Laurens parents attempt to prepare her to testify against Tariq in court.
Although she resists, she is presented with no other option.
In thePoweruniverse, options are hard to come by.
Tariq and Monet are all each other have.
They both need a connect, and they both need money.
Monet has no idea that Canes connect is Dante.
Attempting to rob a man like him is risky, even for Cane.
The plan includes not telling Diana or Lorenzo.
They use Tariq to distract the love-stricken Diana.
To keep Lorenzo busy, Monet invites him to a day date at Coney Island.
They fold Dru into the plans under one condition: he kills Lil Guap.
After hearing Laurens voice, Tariq is upset, but of course he is.
His girlfriend ratted him out.
He saves that for Carrie.
The canonical-studies lecture is quite fitting considering the information Tariq just learned.
Lauren doesnt show up to class.
Jenny placed her in protective custody as she prepares to testify.
Carrie begins class by asserting that truth can be a tricky thing when it comes to ethics.
She runs out of class abruptly right after telling a lie and heads straight to Laurens room.
There she finds Tariq.
The two debate over Laurens safety.
In court, Carrie takes the stand instead of Lauren.
She tells the jurors she also heard Tariq discuss the book before Jabaris death.
Things are heating up inside and outside of the courtroom.
Dru kills Lil Guap, though he almost gets got.
Lil Guap knocks the gun out of Drus hand once he realizes what is about to happen.
While tussling, Dru wins the fight by ending Guaps life with his bare hands.
The cinematic scene had me at the edge of my seat.
Mecca sends Chef back upstairs to the penthouse, which puts Dru in potential danger.
He even leaves the hangar to search the building himself.
There isnt much Cane can do since he told everyone to stay put.
Luckily Diana calls, and Cane takes that as an opportunity to pretend it is Mecca.
Mecca kills Chef in front of Cane.
The most eerily part is that he labels Chef a mole.
Cane, Tariq, and the crew get away with Meccas stash and diamond ring.
Tariq gives the diamond to Davis, tells him to take the payment hes owed out of it.
In some cultures, it is rude to talk during dinner time.
The norm is to eat in silence.
Maybe the Tejadas should give that a try, because all hell breaks loose.
Tariq already told Monet this, but she acts as if she heard it for the first time.
Lorenzo is pissed and accuses Cane of going against the family.
To take the heat off himself, Cane reveals that Dru still hasnt killed Everette.
Monet and Diana go AT IT!
She calls Diana all the way out!
But it only makes shit worse.
Diana accuses Monet of cheating in front of the entire family, and even name drops Dante (a.k.a.
Mecca, you know, the connect.
Good thing he has two names).
Once Diana brings Dante into this, Monet tries to take her daughters head off.
But at this point, Diana is UNSTOPPABLE!
Prepared with receipts I mean Zekes birth certificate.
She drops the news about Zeke, Dante, and Monet.
Zeke quickly realizes that this information means he unintentionally broke NCAA regulations and storms out.
After admitting to Lorenzo that Zeke is her son, he tells her to leave.
Unable to contact Zeke, she heads straight to Carries house.
Later, Zeke shows up at Carries apartment and finds her body hanging from the ceiling.
You be the judge.
