Maybe its just me, but episode two feels a little forced pun intended.
What kind of kidnappers free the people (I mean gangstas) they kidnap and expect them to returnwithoutretaliating?
In only two episodes, the tension between Diamond and Jenard feels drawn out.
The same can be said for the dying interracial romance between Gloria and Vic.
We soon find out its the blues club that belongs to JP, Tommys newly found brother.
The club has had several attacks by local gang members.
Surprisingly, he calls Tommy, who is technically a stranger to him (another forced moment).
Tommy questions his motive.
With no family and a dying father and an ex-husband, Tommy is all he has.
Meanwhile, at the Flynn estate, Walter Flynn is sick.
Triggered by the death of his mother, Vic tells his father they need to tell Claudia.
But Victor hasnt proven to be much of a leader.
Claudia is the stronger sibling.
She finds a solution to save the family business from a loss of revenue: a new designer drug.
Vic reminds her that their father will never agree to expand, especially not with a new product.
She tells her father anyway that what they are selling is outdated and gets shut down.
Its not hard to predict that Claudia is right and Victor will probably get to take all the credit.
After finding out about his fathers sickness, Vic interprets that as a way to be with Gloria.
But he soon finds out that Gloria has her eyes and lips set on Tommy.
This means no reckless killings.
Diamonds prison past comes back to haunt him.
While in jail, Diamond put a rival Latino gang member in a wheelchair permanently.
Diamond and Tommy quickly become acquainted and complete the mission with little to no trouble.
The performance by Isaac Keys and Joseph Sikora is powerful and highlights Americas racial imbalance.
Rojas may have power in prison, but on the streets, his crew is weak AF.
They make a host of rookie mistakes that even Tommy calls out.
And the biggest mistake of all is not killing Jenard, Diamond, and Tommy.
I mean, they could keep something for collateral to continue to make CBI do their dirty work.
And Tommy never lets a job go unfinished.
Proud of his good deed, he swings by the barbershop to show them his souvenir.
The men are impressed, and now Tommy has acquired allies.
After receiving a payment from Diamond, Tommy heads to his grandmothers house to connect with JP.
The two discuss family dynamics, parenting, and navigating brotherhood.
Both Tommy and JP have psychological wounds and are searching for someone they can depend on.
It appears their brotherhood has the potential to benefit them both.
As Tommy can appreciate one reunion, he runs into another friend hes not happy to see.
In season one ofPower,Liliana was a former drug runner girl for Tommy and Ghost.
Kanan had her cut in the face, and Tommy wanted her dead.
