Like most teens, Kanan is hardheaded.

Fearful for her sons safety, Raq decides to drive Kanan to school.

Davina has a mean right hook that made me have the same reaction as everyone in the scene.

You know, that strong Ooooooohhhhhh.

While in the principals office, Kanan consoles Davina (just as I predicted).

He even has the audacity to send his condolences.

Its not clear whether Davina believes him.

Annoyed at his poor timing, Jukebox states the obvious by reminding the guys that Davinas boyfriendjustdied.

During this exchange Kanan stares at the schools exit door, saying nothing.

Their goal is to find a business to cover up theirbusiness.

Randomly, Marvin being Marvin, he announces hes throwing a party, which rightfully pisses his siblings off.

Raq and Unique meet again to talk business, this time at a cemetery.

The underlying tone of their conversation aligns with the title of the episode, Reaping and Sowing.

Per usual, she takes matters into her own hands.

He even lies and says Kanan will be there.

At that moment I knew it was going to end badly, but Lou Lous motives still arent clear.

He pays a visit to Unique and, shockingly, Unique throws Raquel under the bus.

It is obvious Detective Howard has a beef with Raq, but why?

We dont know yet.

Their brief exchange in episode one was also weird.

Maybe she had someone in his family killed or maybe they used to date!

Could he be related to Kanans father?

I know I cant wait to find out.

Now that hes officially in, Kanan has been promoted to the stash house.

3: Every good leader has to be a good follower.

By the end of the episode, we learn why Lou Lou scooped D Wiz: to kill him.

And of course Raq ordered the hit.

No one is safe in thePoweruniverse; its all a part of the game.

Other Notes:

This episode continues to explore Jukeboxs relationship with the rich Catholic-school white girl.

The shows writers do not ignore the tension resulting from the socioeconomic differences between Jukebox and her girlfriends.

Jukebox flexes a different kind of hustle: boosting!

Every hood has a few boosters, and you know youre going to get a good deal!

I was wrong about Symphony!

Hes no sheltered educated bartender.

He has heart, and he showed it when crazy-ass Marvin tried to intimidate him.

As of now, he and Raquel are perfect for each other.

The comedic moments in the show, mostly carried by Famous and Marvin, really land well!
