Sweet Baby Jesus In A Manger - Tonight's episode of Power has EVERYBODY laid out like Jennifer Lewis in a Tyler Perry movie.
Let's get into it:
TOMMY GOES THRU INTAKE:
Angela and her team have managed to snatch Tommy up after last week's bust that resulted in Lobos boy toy being killed and Lobos and Tommy being arrested. This week we see Tommy being processed by jailers as well as getting a visit from his mom Kate played to perfection by veteran actress Patricia Kalember. Tommy and his momma go AT IT like two street vendors trying to parallel park in the same spot and we mean Tommy is cussing her out and he also has Angela nervous as all get out.
ANGELA IS SPENT:
Angela spends pretty much the entire episode trying to get Ghost to confess what she already knows via Holly but he won't budge - somewhat. The two lovebirds are still playing a cat and mouse game with each other but this time around Ghost is winning because he asks her to help get Tommy off and Angela doesn't want to do that. She goes to meet Tommy in jail and offers him witness protection on Lobos and they trade verbal barbs but Tommy is smiling like a Cheshire cat because he has the goods on his homeboys lover. We may be wrong but something tells us that Tommy may have liked Angela first back in the day but she fell for Ghost instead.
Angela really should be paying more attention to her coworker/former lover Greg who has been keeping tabs on her ever since he spotted her in the lobby of her apartment building with Ghost.
Proctor the lawyer shows up at Tommy's hearing and this time around Angela and the team are gloating something wicked because she knows she's got him. She goes back to Ghost and he once again tells her that he needs her to get their old friend out of jail but she doesn't budge.
GHOST IS PULLING MENTAL STRINGS:
Ghost is also a very busy man what with making sure that Angela is sexually satisfied, cause y'all know they stay knocking the boots, keeping a polished profile and still working to get his club back. Tasha shows up at his apartment and clowns him like a black sista from the hood who is pissed that her child support checks didn't come thru. The disgusted wife is not happy with her cheating husband and asks him how he is gonna keep Tommy out of jail but Ghost claims he has it under control.
TASHA WANTS OUT:
Tasha and Shawn are chilling in her crib *side eye* and she gets a collect call from an inmate at a correction facility aka Tommy. She is so drove because she feels like Ghost could give two damns about where his best friend is. Little does she know but Ghost is working behind the scenes just like a ghost to get things moving and Angela is gonna play a MAJOR part but that's for later.
Tasha is having a very hard time with the thought of not living the life that she has grown accustomed too and wants to hit the road. She even talks to her home girl Keisha and shares that she only has $200,000 and wants to be out. Keisha tries to open Tasha's eyes with the truth that the money is not enough to take three kids and bounce. Tasha does ask Shawn to come with her and the kids and he is so in love with the love below that he can't see the forest from the Kanan.
Speaking of Kanan - Mannnnnnnnnn
NO CHARGE LIKE SHIRLEY CEASAR:
Angela's boss and co workers are super excited about snagging Tommy but they have questions about how the legal eagle knew that Lobos and Tommy were heading uptown for a major business deal. She lies and covers like she always does but Greg already knows.

Trial day #2 is officially here and Proctor introduces a legal loophole courtesy of Luiz's heartbroken daughter or so we are led to believe. The case is thrown out because of a sketch of the supposedly famed Ghost that Angela was working with but she was so focused on tagging her lovers phone that she couldn't see the deception that he was bringing her way.
Ghost is working VERY hard to get the club back and notices Kantos, who's managing skills leave much to be desired, putting paperwork for Stern in a box to mailed over to his office. Later on Kantos finds the office ransacked and everything in a disarray and we know things are about to get Ghost for Stern.
Angela is so DROVE because she realizes that Ghost double crossed her and she heads over to the club to confront him. The play the common mental game with each other and she asks him once again if he is the famed drug dealer. He doesn't verbally say it but he says it in other ways and it breaks her heart and this is where the dynamics of their relationship shifts. She leaves devastated and wouldn't you know that lopsided lover Greg is snapping pics of her in her state of devastation.
24 HOUR SCHEMES:
Greg shows up to Angela's office and drops the knowledge that he knows allll about her and Ghost and he has figured out who he is. Surely Angela has to have bubble guts at this time because she is actually doing what Ghost does and that's lie like a smart street mover. She somewhat covers by telling Greg that she is ready to nail Ghost to the wall and the two former lovers prepare to do it all in less than 24 hours.
Really Angela????
POW POW SON!! POW POW!!
Kanan has been pushing his naive son to kill his boss and after several failed attempts Shawn pulls the gun on Ghost. This scene is especially poignant because we witness Shawn confess that he has been sexing his wife which rocks the drug dealer/club owner to his core. Ghost nabs the gun from Shawn and tells him that he needs to leave as in leave town because the poor kid is not made out for the drug life.
Kanan has admonished his son to finish his enemy and when his son returns to his office without nary a spot of blood on his he realizes where his loyalties lie. Shawn tells his pops that he is nothing like him and he hits pops in the mental gut by telling him that he is no longer his father. Before Shawn can bounce???
Wait for it!!!!
Wait for it!!!!!
Kanan shoots his kid like a rabid dog on the street which not only hurts Shawn obviously but shocks him as well. Kanan is a nutcase who doesn't take too kindly to rejection from where we sit and finishes Shawn off but not before letting him know that he's not his son anymore as well.
And Scene!!!!
