If you are new to thePoweruniverse, theres a lot of catching up to do.
For now, lets get to the basics.
He knows that shes innocent because he is the one responsible for taking his fathers life.
She is released from prison but forced into witness protection.
Eagan returned to New York seeking revenge against her and Tariq.
Professor Reynolds knew too much and planned to write a book based on Tariqs unique life circumstances.
The introduction makes it clear that Tariq is suffering from some form of PTSD.
Apparently, for the Westons, taking the kill shot is a privilege not everyone can experience.
Tariq is not the only one who is suffering from PTSD.
Monet is on edge.
When we last saw Monet, her bar had been shot up by her former connect Rico Barnes.
Monet feels guilty for failing to protect Dru, and shes aware that the game is changing.
This is where Zeke becomes a central figure in Monets story line.
Zeke is a star basketball player at Stansfield who has hopes of making it to the NBA.
His family, particularly his Aunt Monet, is determined to see this vision manifest in real life.
Physically, though, Zeke is not quite prepared to enter into the draft this year.
Because of their current circumstances, Monet overlooks that vital fact and pushes a reluctant Zeke.
Monet arrives at the door with her gun drawn and walks away after seeing Cane.
Because drug dealers are controlling, a little crazy, and dont trust easily, the connect followed Cane.
On campus, word eventually gets out about Professor Reynoldss murder.
His colleague and former lover Caridad Carrie Milgram is called to identify his body by Detective Kevin Whitman.
Carrie is all over the place.
But she is still sleeping with Zeke.
Yup, Monet Tejadas nephew Zeke, the star player on the Stansfield basketball team.
Zeke presses his aunt, who vehemently denies any involvement (shes telling the truth).
Tariq has difficulty visibly showing emotion about Reynoldss death like the other students on campus.
Of course, part of that is because he killed the professor.
He also lies to Monet when she asks if he knows anything about the professors murder.
The gag is, Tariq never made contact with his mother, and her absence is seemingly affectinghermother.
She tells Tariq that their Big Momma is getting worse.
He knows that he needs to come up with a plan to ensure that Yaz is good.
Maclean has partnered with none other than Cooper Saxe, the former crooked FBI agent turned district attorney.
The two bond over their desire for money and fame.
We find out that Maclean intends to use Saxe to help get his brother out of prison.
We dont know yet.
What we do know is this odd pairing is bound to cause harm this season.
Tariq relies on Brayden to transport the drugs safely to campus.
Being involved again in the drug game with Tariq is exciting for Brayden.
This premiere episode leaves us with many questions that will hopefully be answered throughout the season.
For starters, how much will detective Whitman find out?
He comes off as a follow-the-rules kind of guy.
Will he continue to pressure Carrie cause he is salty about how their relationship ended?
Will Monet find out that Tariq lied to her?
Will Zeke do well this basketball season?
Will he get injured or go to the NBA?
Will Tariq ever get to connect with his mom?
What the hell will Maclean and Saxe be up to?
Whats going to happen to Big Momma and Yaz?
This ride will for sure be bumpy.
