I mean, he sort of died.
Tariq helped Tommy fake his death after his mother testified against him.
The two didnt necessarily end on a good note.
Tommy popped up on Tariq at the cemetery, still gunning for Tashas head.
New York aint safe no more, so Tommy heads west.
And lets not forget about the broken relationship he has with his mother.
It all appears heavy for Tommy.
Episode one immediately separates itself from thePoweruniverse viewers are familiar with with all-new characters.
Diamond is the jails barber.
We get the sense that he is well respected by inmates and correctional officers.
He still has haters; thats part of the game, though.
Like most coming-home-from-jail stories, Diamond is picked up in style by his younger, flashier brother Jenard Sampson.
He flirts with Gloria, the bartender and owner.
They get into a semi-heated argument.
The Flynn family is run by Walter Flynn, the patriarch and biggest drug kingpin in Chicago.
Walters children, Claudia and Vic, assist him with the business.
What Tommy doesnt know yet is that Vic and Gloria were an item.
Apparently, the Irish crime boss doesnt accept his son having a Black girlfriend.
On his way out, Vic and Tommy exchange violent stares again.
It aint fucking worth it.
He leaves Tommy with a final word of advice get far from Chicago.
The advice means nothing to Tommy.
He walks back into the bar to taste Glorias infamous soup.
She knows how to give orders and dominate a conversation.
She has enough spice to keep up with Tommy, and they are both equally intrigued by each other.
Tommy overhears her arguing with Simon, Vics errand boy.
He gives Simon a New York beatdown for talking shit earlier, robs him, and breaks his arm.
Gloria comes out and is turned on by Tommys aggression.
Claudia realizes she has found a new designer drug.
He demands that Vic introduce him to his connect.
Shit gets crazy lots of pointing fingers, blaming, shooting.
In exchange, he takes their money and drugs.
Jenard tells his brother Diamond what happened.
He dipped with the bread and the butter … like Casper the motherfucking ghost.
He makes Tommy sound like a drug-dealing superhero.
Claud describes Zamosts product as bathtub crank and makes clear that any collaboration is bad for business.
Okay, brace yourself; heres where the plot twist comes in.
Tommy has a brother, and … hes Black.
After visiting his grandmother for the first time, a well-traveled artist named JP Gibb runs up on him.
The two realize they are related and are shocked!
JP was raised by his father and knew very little about their mother.
Tommy gives him the rundown on Kate by telling him in so many words that she aint shit.
Like previousPowerseasons, family is the epicenter of all things, and the same remains true in Chicago.
Jenard brings Diamond to the old barbershop he rented before getting locked up.
The two seem to have different ideas and approaches to running their business.
With Diamond gone for so long, we can only hope they will get on one accord.
Good news never lasts for long in thePoweruniverse.
Diamond receives an unexpected visit from a shady cop with a vendetta.
Four SUVs surround him.
Tommy is escorted to the Flynn family estate.
For Tommy, he makes his own rules.
His time in Chicago is just beginning.
He calls Rodolfo and lets him know the plans have changed he no longer desires to work for anyone.
Instead Tommy will build his own shit in the Windy City.
Welcome to the Chi!
