Talk about a tear-jerker!
Stay in Your Lane shows what happens when you dont, well, stay in your lane.
By now, we know Kanan is more interested in walking before he crawls.
Obviously, he did not take good enough notes when Raq showed him how to cook up crack.
He makes a deadly batch that begins to wipe out junkies in South Side by the dozen.
After a couple of hits, she dies instantly while locked in her room.
Nicole snuck away from her homophobic borderline racist mother and expressed her love to Jukebox.
Their love story climaxed in this episode.
Throughout the entire season, she has kept her sexuality a secret.
Nicoles tragic accidental death puts viewers in a melancholy mood.
Before doing the faulty drugs, she began listening to a love song Jukebox wrote personally for her.
She patiently watches the other teenagers enter the building with an abundance of joy.
I think I shed a tear for Jukebox, Nicoles mother, and Kanan.
Kanan is about to get in a shit of trouble for his bright idea.
His mistake leads to so many questions.
Will Jukebox find out he is ultimately responsible for the love of her life dying?
Will Nicoles mom blame Jukebox for her death?
Will the police be able to trace the deadly drugs to Kanan and Marvin?
For some reason, Kanan continues to hide things from his mother, and she always finds out.
Kanan offers to pay for the bill.
The two make up and have more I forgive you sex than ever.
The two even hypothetically discuss planning a family together.
Though shes well aware it wont happen overnight, Raq fantasizes about being able to retire from the business.
Detective Howard pulls up on Kanan, and his partner Burke immediately questions his obsession with Kanan.
Her dislike for Detective Howard makes me wonder what happened between the two.
If I had to guess, hes probably the reason DefCon got locked up.
We will have to wait and find out.
One thing that we finally have more clarity on is Davinas at-home situation.
Tanisha is, in fact, just Davinas little sister, although she is forced to mother her.
Davinas mother has been missing in action since she showed up at the school.
He fails at convincing her that Famous is just rapping about made-up stories.
Believing the dry-snitching lyrics, Davina dismisses Kanans request to come inside and help her with her sister.
Kanan is not the only one in the hot seat.
Lou-Lou failed to secure a successful hit on one of Uniques men.
The hit was payback for what Uniques crew did to Scrappy.
After the attempt, Unique rolled up on Lou-Lou at Lamonts diner.
The rule on the streets is the dinner is off-limits for violence.
He makes it clear he only wants to talk business.
Unique makes a threat against Raq and simultaneously offers Lou-Lou an opportunity to join his crew.
Unique admires his forward-thinking mentality and entrepreneurial spirit, and though flattered, Lou-Lou disrespectfully declines his offer.
The conversation doesnt really end well.
Unique apologizes in advance for whats about to happen.
One of the Wakis men even complimented Lou-Lou on Streets Need a Body, rapping the chorus with excitement.
The relationship between Raq and her potential Dominican connect is just beginning.
Hopefully, she doesnt do anything to ruin his trust as she did with Deen.
Other Notes
The acting in this series is phenomenal.
I smell awards in the near future.
The wardrobe subtleties win again!
Raqs name chain at dinner, Lou-Lous outfit when he met up with Unique.
The wardrobe continues to surpass all expectations of a period piece.
I hope the stylists are able to land some awards too.
50 Cents monologues go hard!
They always fit the scene and more than likely drop a gem or two.
If youre a true hip-hop head, you know exactly who they are!
