Stolen money and a sudden disappearance give the group a clear answer on Peachess betrayal and alliance with Kane.
As he looks around, Jerome discovers an assortment of substance abusers who inhabit the home.
Feeling misled, Jerome puts a gun to Oakleys head.
You think I dont know when someones running game on me?
I am the game.
Oakley cowers but maintains his story: Peaches was an addict and frequented this spot.
Oakley says Peaches went to Thailand, but another man in the house says Peaches has fled to Burma.
Jerome grows silent, his eyes wandering across the room.
When he looks at a man with a needle in his arm, he sheds a single tear.
As Jeromes better half, Louie knows how much Peaches meant to him.
Making an effort to empathize with Jeromes friend, Louie notes the precarious situation he must have been in.
Sure, that means his goals of building out his business, but it also means marrying his sweetheart.
Getting down on his knees, he proposes to Louie with passion and clarity.
Shocked and affirmed, Louie gets choked up as she accepts the proposal.
(I am so excited to see both of their crazy asses get married!)
The engagement of South Centrals premier couple aside, this episode is far from a reprieve.
Unfortunately for Franklin, after his long stay at Parissas house, Teddy is especially irritable.
Teddy remains drawn to Parissas cold, erotic calculus.
They verbally spar Ill rip my stitches, Teddy says.
Ill sew them back together, Parissa declares before proceeding to make out at the risk of reinjury.
Before officially agreeing to the deal (to which Franklin and Leon have not agreed!!!
), Louie turns to Jerome as counsel.
I wont move forward with Buckley without your support, she tells him.
Just do what you gon do.
Im gon protect you, says Jerome.
To level with Kane, Leon leads with transparency and tells Kane about Kevs betrayal.
We could squash this beef here, right now.
If you really wanna look after your family, this is the way, Leon tells Kane.
Franklin responds nonchalantly that Kane is motivated by family love, driven by a caretakers spirit.
You believe him, Veronique says, her words both a statement and a question.
Its the best play for now, Franklin concedes.
We do deals here all the time.
Youve seen when theyre in bad faith.
I have a bad feeling Veronique is onto something here.
This deal feels tainted with distrust.
And this is, of course, the soldiers cardinal sin: To take an enemy at his word.
For if love is a losing game, then war is a liars game.
Im just so goddamn angry all the time.
I just cant take no more of this, one man says.
The streets need aSopranos-style exploration of Jeromes psychological journey!
Cant afford to take any more chances, he tells him.
Later, Cissy looks at the recorder from Ruben in her purse and wonders what to do with it.
Somebody get Franklin some stationery and a quill.
:Life can get messy and mistakes happen.
I shouldnt have just left you like that.
Glad youre okay, he says.
Gustavo hears him and walks away.
What does OneRepublic say?
Its too late to apologize?
Yeah, very much that!
