She and Kanan show up at Nicoles funeral only to be turned away by her parents.

As expected, seeing Nicole causes her to break down and sob uncontrollably.

Aware of a break-in, Nicoles parents alert the police but are surprised to find Jukebox.

When she sees Jukebox, the mother immediately has an emotional outburst and blames her for Nicoles death.

An affluent teen dying from a crack-cocaine overdose does not fit into the picture-perfect life Nicoles mother has created.

Instead, her frustration is geared towards their environment.

An environment that is set up for many to fail, whether due to doing drugs or selling drugs.

Bodies have been dropping left and right.

They spot a junkie and bribe him for information.

He tells them where the drug came from and even name-drops the dealer.

And because their plan isnt secure, thats exactly what happens.

Because Detective Howard desires to play father of the year, he tells his partner he will handle it.

Its only a matter of time before she finds out what hes up to.

At some point in the conversation, he even threatens to let the streets in on their little secret.

During their brief conversation, we find out a lot of interesting information.

Detective Howard, at one point in his early 20s, was an undercover cop.

When he hooked up with Raq, she was only 16 years old.

Their relationship was a coverup and Kanan supposedly being his son added an extra layer to hide the truth.

Jessica might as well date a guy like Kanan because he also pushes the line of satisfaction further back.

Both Kanan and Marvin know they are in deep shit if Raq finds out.

Marv even feels like Raq can kill him herself or have him killed despite being brother and sister.

She asks Marv specifically to figure out who cooked the blue caps and handle them.

Though he knows he and Kanan are the culprits, he plays dumb.

When Raq does find out, all hell breaks loose.

Shocked by his disrespect and naivety, Raq slaps the daylights out of Kanan.

Kanan is left stunned by the new information.

Its not clear yet if he is mad at his mother for murdering one of his best friends.

It also doesnt seem like he has learned any lesson.

On the other hand, Marvin definitely has learned his lesson, but it might be too late.

Unfortunately, Marvin hasnt proven to be worthy of Raqs trust.

Im glad she didnt kill him, though.

In a desperate state, Marvin goes back to the club to visit Toni.

She has bugged her office and fails at getting Marvin to say something incriminating.

He may make a ton of mistakes, but he did not fall for Tonis antiquated trap.

Symphony peeped Toni in action and will more than likely warn Raq about her shady ways.

It will be interesting to see how Tonis role plays out.

We finally get to see Raq get her hands dirty.

She works closely with Juliana to kill her abusive husband.

It was clear that the bodega store owner would be a problem since they began working together.

Killing Gabriel worked in Raqs favor.

Joaquin is impressed once she reveals that she is responsible for killing Gabriel.

The episode ends, leaving us on the edge of our seats, praying for Lou-Lous recovery.

He exchanges gunfire with Worrell, but Uniques crew gets away unscathed.

In a desperate attempt to save his brother, Marvin breaks down the door and finds Lou-Lou unconscious.
