This is Bam Erickson and you're tuned in to AfterBuzz TV for power of season 6 episode 2 title whose side are you on let's go you are tuned in to AfterBuzz TV the ESPN of TB top now let the I guess 50 Cent better like it. So we're going to give tray his prize. Least I don't have to try and do Joe's run. Well, we have it on tape was everybody on bam Erickson and I want and I would like to introduce you to the panel to my left. I got Jill Munroe how our people robbing a or what up? What up? And Jimmy V is popping my power people. Okay, so we have a lot to talk about so some of the things we can talk about in tonight's episode. So we got Jason Pitts, Tommy versus Ghost. We got the divorce arbitration with Ghost and Tasha. Then we got ghost and Tasha the Next Generation and we got drapes back. We got Proctor's wife. Now. She's a new Marcia Clark and a lot more topics. So let's go into the first one. So now we have Co swatches times Vehicle Impound it now, that's kind of weird that he's there the neck thank you. Cuz that's the first thing I said as soon as the episode started on my ghost if you just committed a crime the night before what are you doing at the murder seeing back again back again, but Okay, so I'm glad I'm glad it was just not me. So he so he watches a blood on the ground before it goes to Jason Jason. What a bag of money for his troubles Jason thanks to hit on. Tommy was an assault on his organization go says, it's a Family Matter Jason. Jason says that I'm sorry, but he's going to flip the demands and now he wants $100,000 every two weeks not to retaliate or he kills ghost himself then he goes and tells Tommy the same thing and so now he's put the two together. And so now what do you guys think? Sot has X to X star shine. All right, clearly. Jason is definitely playing chess but I'm gonna be honest with you guys. I don't like the story line here. Okay, because there was a lot set up in there at the top of the episode and then we've all seen the episode if you haven't yet. I'm not going to spoil it but then towards the end of the episode everything they set up gets diminished. Yeah, so it's like why are you feeding me all this information here? And then you just gon snatch it right out of my my hand because ghost and Tommy you're going to have to come together again to defeat their Foe and then they'll get back to the business of Ghosts versus Tommy. That's what I'm predicting. Okay? Okay. I don't know if they'll have to get back together because I think like I said, I think it's going to be more so ghost and Tasha have to get back together to take out but for me that to for but for but for me with this whole thing, it seems kind of weak that goes would go there in the first place. It was it was just it makes sense. It was just weak. So now We all agree. I guess we can move on because we are so many other topics. Yes, Robin hit it. Okay, you know what you guys I know America wants to give Sarika whooping I know that but what do you guys think about the fact that I believe ghost is really starting to realize that he has no more sun and that this dude is really trying to come into power. Do you guys feel that way at all? I mean, I I second that just because the dialogue That they actually had as I can go to my notes here. But the first thing that Teresa was like who's dead now and then he hits him with ghosts once again, you know, so there's the respect levels gone, right? Okay. Thank you very much for that beautiful setup because let me go into it badly. So there was a moment that I kind of look into all of this stuff when ghost was sitting on the bed, right and he is holding a picture of his three kids. He's almost like even rubbing the face of Tarik in the picture he's so he's in Father mode. He's in Daddy Mode and then when he went three walks in he is he's addressing him as son and so he's in he's in body know exactly where you're going. Go ahead that moment. He said, you know, you know, so obviously to Rick says, you know what he did who died now and goes like no like what why would you heels like who died like, you know who died ghost or you know, tell me goes when he called him ghost this time. He's called him go several times. Before he said it in Anger. He said it would his chest out he was doing all of that stuff. But when he said it this time, I personally believe that ghosts literally sat there if y'all saw him for a moment for several beats, he was just looking at him like, oh my God that that this is not even my son anymore. I can't really address this dude as my son or father him like a son. He's lost all respect for me. And he only sees me as ghosts. What do you guys think about that? I agree with that. I think that but I also don't think that ghosts. Realizes like I know he knows that he's lost Tariq, but I don't think that he recognizes how far deep into the stuff that Tariq really is and that he is literally, you know parent not parenting parroting what Kane and taught him and his own youth. I don't think that that part is fully connected for Gus. Yeah, I don't either and I think that at this point, I think that go should wash his hands from Tariq. Sorry. I feel like he does because at it at their there comes a certain point. Point and a parent's life. I understand that but when you are so removed and that and there's a disconnect. Sometimes you have to wash your hands and you have to let him go. So if he wants to be grown let that excuse me, let him go let him be grown and let him let him be the adult that he wants to be and what's gonna happen. Yeah real life is he's going to eventually have to come back to his daddy because he that he thinks he knows all of this life, bro. Your square like, you know some much but at some point you're gonna have to go back to your daddy. So he has to he has to let him go. So I've got to say this line because I'm loving the writing and when I was in school, I wasn't the best with writing but I learned about this one thing called foreshadowing. Yeah. All right. So there's this one line that I love then I copied it down so I can share it with you guys of course, which is sometimes the people you trust the most Can turn on you without no warning. Boom. That's a setup right there for something down the line where which we've already seen Converse part of my nose, but that just sets up which we've seen that Tariq has already chose Tommy if we're talking about sides, but that just shows I believe Tariq is going to turn on his own poppy on go save. Okay. Listen. I am so glad that you guys all have the perspectives that you do because when I say the next thing that I'm going to say, you'll see where I'm going to go with this but I'm going to wait to talk. Just do you guys want me to discuss how to wreak is becoming ghost 2.0? Yeah. Let's talk about that for a second. But then I have a really great prediction about all of this because I said that for a reason okay, so to wreak We are we agreed that to Rica's. I believe that he's smarter. He's gonna he's smarter than his dad and when ghost was his age, of course because he has the street knowledge. And then I think he's got now, he's been he's obviously got the book smarts. You don't agree bam. So if he's so smart why the fuck was he well why the fuck he have his drugs on top of the Hat that's white kids will turn on you in a heartbeat. God damn. Oh my God. What is she she taught her how to read and then all of a sudden I do. What do I do? That's why I don't know what happened. That's so true. And that's a part of his youth. That's a part of the stupidity in the immaturity. But let's take it as a whole. Okay, I think that he is not you right cause we all said the same thing. I was like, what you doing it with you? Yeah, but we're still okay. So let's let's let's hurry up and go. Because I know you guys got some stuff you want to get into but he obviously in this episode we see his Tommy and we see his Tasha. Yes. Oh, yeah. I didn't see the with Reckless. No different way. So so let's not let's talk about something very important here. When go toy when Tariq is sitting there in his roommate comes in for the first time. Yeah. Tariq is playing chess. That's another thing the week is stuck in his chest. So yes by himself. He's studying chess when he got the Dominican girl or we're assuming she's Dominican out of New York Kathy Fe. Thank you. Italy who be paying attention Okay, so when when she came into when she knocked on the door, she ultimately agreed that she wants to get down with the program. Right? She looks back there at the chess set and says, do you play He said Yes, you see that little that little tie between like the game of chess and we already know what this is. So anyway, he is setting I think the whole show is setting him up to be 2.0. Well because we know can I finish that go quick then she says if you work with me, you won't get caught. That's another but seen that ribbon on the boat. Yes. This is my problem. I get this set up and we've all think that Tariq is going to have a spin-off the 48 hours after whatever happens which probably goes will die. But my problem with this is So Fe you turn from righteousness to desperation and two fucking seconds. Very thing. That's when we have to give our dramatic license. Let's say in reality. She would have took a couple of weeks but he did point out your shoes and busted your phone screen. Wish I know but and I agree with you. I know what you're about to say. She turned a little quickly for someone that was like we don't want to look like that when you don't want to be like that. However, we don't know what their background is and what she came from. Maybe she's like, you know what I can't make some quick. Money really quick to get out of here and take it further but we have 15 episodes like this shit's feels like a soap opera sometimes because the way that it's moving they could determine could it last minute so fast for me? Tariq does not have his he's not his dad. He doesn't have the swag like the way that he was talking to the girl. It just wasn't I get it. I don't know. I'm a grown-up now. Not the way that boys are supposed to talk to girls who said he was trying to get at. Oh girl. He no. No, no, he was trying to cook like he was basically trying to trying to convince her why he why she shouldn't why she shouldn't rat on him, but he should have been more smooth about it. Yes. Yes. Yes, he needs to me. I feel that you take on the target you speak to them in their language. She wasn't the type of person that seemed like if he would have tried to smooth her or swab her down. I don't know if that would. Would it work to either I think Honesty coming at her with the realities of look this is what the situation is. We're here take advantage of it. She knew what was up. She's like if you're gonna be with him, he's gonna get you caught up. He's not exactly discreet. So she we don't know what her background is. Yeah and what she's seen yet. So yeah, and here's the thing and I'm sorry two things that I have to say and I'll let you guys move on from here because I will come back to this because of my predictions but two things we already know that Tariq has got what it takes. We know that he's got swag like his dad because look at what he's pulled off when he was in the car with Canaan and he started coughing and trying to get away from the security dude. We know that he's got what it takes to finesse the situation. We know that he could go in and start speaking Italian in front of other people. We know he has what it takes. But right now do just has a chip on his shoulder and he's coming at old girl because she came at him first really like, you know, who you think you are. We'll do a whoop like that. So I think that's why he addresses that way but I do hear Point am I just wanted to say that specific conversation that they had you guys. Might be mad at me but I felt like the way week came up Fe was the American school system. Tariq was the Hustler the entrepreneur. He's like don't you want to make money? Right? If he's over here struggling shoes is all dirty laptop might not make it until June. So I thought on a deeper level that conversation there was like you trying to you trying to get it this way or you want to go with like everybody else does their but you know, that's just my To set the other thing. I was going to say it pertaining to the quickness and how fast they're going. We you gotta cut him some slack though bam like we in the season six is I mean, I think what they would if if this had gone into season 7, I think that they'd be like, okay we can we can draw this out a little bit more but they are they got to get to it. So I feel like it's just you know, and they said season episode 3 picks up even more it does because you know, I have a prediction of who God. Okay. So let's go before that now let's go into Proctor's wife. Wife she's delivered. She is no longer Proctor's wife. Don't nobody like her so Proctor's name Proctor's wife is a Lindsay. So apparently she got on her item passed the bar. I can represent myself and I got this holding it down and in the court system here and she's obviously wanted a to fight for custody for her daughter, which I hate by the way cuz you don't make a child choose which parent to actually Go ahead that courts and re-elected. She knew what she was doing to like. Oh, don't you remember when we have Corey would get our nails done and bah bah blah, but the more specific thing that I actually skipped over was Lindsay and and our guy what's his name? My mommy guys. Come on, we're sex recommends saying we need to put something on yet daughter. Which once again I hate to don't use a DOT. ER as a piece in this whole bang a bang thing that you guys are doing here and what a low mom to put your child. Yeah in the middle and that's what I'm talking about. And she also used her when she's like I know I can't get a job here. But if I get a recommendation from somebody here things will go a long smoother which she ultimately got but let's not act like this does not happen and male-female relationships husband-wife, whatever the situation It happens on both sides, which we actually do see in another still manipulation manipulation of the child the child and how both parents will go to the extreme even lie and do certain things in order to get their way. So it's realistic in that sense. But the having a judge there while that was the unrealistic part about it. Yeah, but what I also thought was interesting was when before that happened was when was when ghost goes to Proctor to get The Alibi. By and Proctor was like woohoo. I'm happy. He I don't know about you. I can see there and goes almost look like he's about to choke up. You look like you about to pull a tummy again and take them out. But that specific scene when it you get served. Is it always with that type of attitude? Did y'all notice that he knocked on the door? You're served banged on MM. Oh my geez. I don't ever want to get sir. That's the case. Can you help me know now? I feel you. I feel great. All right. I was like damn that dude has some serious delivery. All I could say is I think Proctor's wife. She'll be dead by episode 8. Yeah, okay, she'll be she'll be gone. And so now hit it Jill so team goes team Tasha pick a side. We know I'm likely team Tasha but never mind so Tasha and ghost or an arbitration Tasha has fired fired hired a forensic accountant to check all the accounts to see where ghost has been hiding. Money ghost is like really Tasha. You hired a detective to investigate my accounts really ghost. You had secret accounts touche points for everybody. So in that discussion, how did you guys feel I mean, they told Tasha look the prenup says you get nothing, you know, there's reasons why she could fight the prenup she might likely win some of the things was she on record as the accountant of the businesses there things that she could do, but that's a long fight. What's that face for Jimmy come in comments fight the That's why you get a prenup. So you don't have to fight it later on and and the in the face was I just remember Tasha was like I like to go by mrs. Green. Yeah. Well now you're not gonna get any green. Okay, you know my about this about this arbitration and again as I go back from the earlier Seasons when she had all this stack of cash that she would have when she would go when she when she would go shopping. How are you broke and you have no money when you've had access to all of this like again as I've said before a woman always needs to stack their own money and being that she was with the drug life was gonna give her that lesson though, not her mom who was gonna tell her that that's all she really knew. She knew that ghost was going to take care of her he needed her and she needed him they were a team so I mean, yeah, she's wrong for not stacking but as a teenager, do you know that? Hey my husband might leave me and find his first love and cheat and I'm gonna need Lines, so my Robbie had a great point Sorry. I'm sorry. Pardon me. Why was there a a what is it called the thing first place? I mean, you know, you gotta protect you all moments talking Bart, but but but the point is if they were building together and she was there from the very beginning. Why was there a prenup in the first? Oh, well, you should always have a blue sheet. We want prenup. Yeah. Yeah, but what they said to me identified it as like the only point that they made about the prenup is the That being said if you initiate divorced and you get nothing, yeah, so maybe that was just the point of a control a control thing. But again, I don't feel like Tasha is ever it. She never takes accountability for actions before we continue one of the ways we keep all these shows for you free is by our amazing sponsors.

Shows like she knows she's talked about it. She knows that she gets no terms. However, when you sign something at 20 thinking it's forever, you're not signing a prenup and getting married to get divorced. So signing it. So how come she didn't use that as leverage once he started ethnic with Angela be like no bro referring to change we going to change this up like she just never accepts her. She never ever steps accept some responsibility for actions. Why did she had that shit changed bam is on a I just I don't understand. Why did she have A change. Okay. Continue. Well Tasha and goes had two more altercations. Yeah an elevator altercation well and an argument, right? Yeah, slow it down outside of the elevator after the arbitration where they discussed Tasha needing more money. It was for the kids. That's the only thing that she was looking for and they have the penthouse conversation which ghost was petty as hell. Can we talk about him saying I thought I took you off the list Tasha why? Take me off the list goes but you stayed here in time. It's no joke. Can I mention before the scene right before the elevator the dialogue there which which it shows this is literally a game of dominoes, right? It was if I go away from murder you don't get a dime, you know, and then it went along and then you become a suspect on The Wanted list blah blah blah so is right. It's so it just shows when one Domino Falls everything just keeps going going going. So that's why Tommy you know, he goes. Oh, yeah, I don't think so. But as far as Tasha in the kids and money killing ghosts gets you access to all the money as a widow and kind of takes the Heat and speculation off it which is what Tasha mentioned inside the car, which we will get to shout out real quick to the the chat room the live chat you as well. There are the chat is lit will try to flip this all shout out to you guys, but they're jumping in on the prenup conversation Jay Jackson says ghost manipulated her into that most likely he wasn't dumb back then and and I agree with that and then Kwame says prenup was there because ghost wanted to protect himself from this very moment. Tasha did are Tasha did after all threatened to turn him in and I agree with that because like we've always said ghosts really at the end of the day really does think about him. Self and just remember that I said that when we bring things up later, may I just I had to I had to write some notes. This is my whole take on this Tasha goes and I'm going to point to both sides. So if you don't mind just give me about 35 seconds. There are two sides to the accountability of ghost and Tasha has Paradigm number one as a man. He is responsible to keep the family unit together and strong and do what's best for the family being a drug dealer being a drug lord was in doing that. He attracted a woman with minimal. Show range and based on his career choice number two when ghosts wanted to Pivot from drug life into a life of legitimacy. Tasha did not support him in his and his vision and opted to remain in the dark underworld a man's vision is a man's vision and the fact that Tasha didn't support a positive change for the family over a superficial lifestyle displayed selfishness, even though ghost is selfish as hell. Also trying to convince Tommy to keep goats in the game. This will drive any man. A way out Angela any woman could have been Angela wants Tasha was not on board Angie Angie represented something what ghost wasn't able to pursue a Tasha. Remember ghost and Tasha used to make sweet love in the beginning. But once Tasha challenge goes his ability to go legit. He struggled to Envision a future with her. Thus going to Tommy behind ghost is back to promote their nefarious Affairs. So ultimately I say all that to say Ultimately, that's Emily. I think often ultimately I say all that because this is both of them. Both of them have both made mistakes, but when it comes to change Tasha wasn't on board, but I say all this to say this is a game of chess between this is a power between ghost and between ghost and Tasha. Tommy is stuck in the middle as a dummy and I feel like they should probably take him out and move forward which I don't think that would happen. But this is how I feel in regards to this so That's all I have to say. And I don't I don't I don't think I will drag Tasha for the rest of tonight. He said thank you though, man. Yeah, we appreciate that man. So since you brought up Tommy, let's talk about him. Lakisha really quickly. Why's there because we have to various Lakisha Lakisha needs to calm down like he's just gonna be like downfall who's at the door not planet. - why is she so sad so concerned about cash now like she might now we're gonna Mash is her number one man for Five Seasons. We hadn't heard about cash and now all of a sudden now all the sudden what about me and cash girls knocking sorry for my child means send me away. Like you said, I'll be holla back when it's all right, right, right. So, you know, obviously Tasha is trying to find Tommy in the early parts of this episode because he's presumed dead which that whole setup of Tommy pretending to be dead getting dropped off the Uber, you know. Yeah. I mean I got why it happened like that banana something about it. Just kind of rubbed me wrong. So Tasha goes to Lakeisha Department. Lakeisha's Mad shows her Tommy's their slams the door in his face and tries to tell Tommy he can't talk to Lucas anymore is LaKeisha dumb. We've already established that but is LaKeisha done? Lakeisha is dumb, but let's So be clear and regards to this. So with the whole sermon that I just preach a couple minutes ago. You also have to you also have to remember you also have to remember that that the problem lies between them is because hold on it's in my notes. I have it somewhere. Hold on. I wrote something down keep talking. Let me actually pick it up from there because I did actually want to even know what kind of dragon location now but Allah as an actress. The same later on where you know, Tommy ended up you're getting her, you know the bag it at first she was upset about it. But then she kind of flipped the switch and say you don't gotta talk to Tasha about anything. All you got to do is talk to me and I just thought how she went from Mad to that seductive, you know, sexy type Vibe. It's really showed her range and that's was a needy moment. I didn't think it was seductive at all. I didn't either and and also Um I say with you know with all with with with what's going on with the ghost and Tasha. I said Keisha knows this which is why she's trying to be her own version of them with she and Tommy but Keisha is dumb, but she's not dumb enough to recognize the game of it. And so she knows that let's be real Tommy's f&r because he needs support right? And so Keisha knows that and keeps your always has always aspired to be her version of ghost and Tasha, so she's so she's using him by saying you can't do that you You can't be with them. The only problem that I have with this is Tommy has never been that type of guy to be he's not apologetic about anything. And so now he's pretending to be apologetic. I have it kind of issue with that. And then I also have an issue with Keisha in the sense of So Keisha basically doesn't want to be about this life, but she just kind of wants to do to kind of you know, basically she want to do just to follow up. You know, I'm saying. Yeah, she wants the privilege Chic she wants to privileges but he/she, you know what you're getting into and my my problem with Tommy is I have to just drag him for a second. I can't stand we do this and I felt like he was weak in that moment because you need to like you need to you either need to get this chick on board. Are you need to get her out that but that's what am I doing? No gifts. No, that's not Tasha Tasha. Yeah, this is how you work hard. He should have got what you do. He sure got her outpatient got around way before that. I mean, so but the thing he needs are he needs her Alibi. He needs her to make moves for him. He needs her to be here right here. Right Story So Far, he's not being a weak man. He's manipulating much like we've seen ghosts and others do because he needs her to play her position and the only way she's going to play her position is that she feels secure. Come on, Coach. Okay, I'll take one of these. Playing I'll take it back. I'll take it back to me. Okay? So in addition to that, do you guys not believe that Tommy is really really feeling Lakisha outside of business. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't think he's still over Holly. No, I agree with that and I make a point about how Lena second because I you know, I feel like I mean not that I'm trying to kill off nobody like bam, but I'm just saying like I'm feeling like Holly she was better served for Tommy. Then Lakeisha was like she Really about it, you know what I'm saying, but agree with that, but the thing is I feel like somewhere in Tommy's life. He does long for family. He Longs for something and I feel like nobody. Yeah and because of that, I think he really has this call it what you will but he there's something that's gravitating him towards Lakeisha of outside of business outside of just she could be my alibi or my you know, my Clyde also turn my Bonnie to my Clyde seasons one through four to five ghost. Was his brother. Her ghost was his family. Yeah, I'll season six. Tommy is looking that's all he got. We're here right now lost his mother his past. His father Yes girls is his yet. And and here's why I really felt bad for Tommy this season, you know or just this episode maybe I was just thinking how everything that he's done. Thus far has really been for the great for what he thought was the greater good family for the family, you know, he killed Holly because he thought that she went she was She killed ghost or she had him. You know what I'm saying? She does this this kind of stuff out of like his heart for the family and that's what made me feel bad that he's in this position right now and Tasha and ghost pulls him like the dummy in the middle. Yeah. Now he's dead and he goes right along with it because of his loyal he does now speaking of speaking of pulling and dragging I have to give Tasha props. She put pause right in a position where she needed to be in another question is What type of job to Spas have I don't think she does isn't that kind of crazy because I feel okay and I don't actually remember but I feel like when she was introduced doesn't Angie or didn't NG help with like some of her John's College keeps she think she was definitely definitely she was definitely helping with that. But I just found that it was interesting that pause. Like I said a couple maybe a week ago how pause has his Vengeance for for ghosts and what he's Done which I disagree because I don't believe that anybody you can't make anybody do anything that they want to do. Angie is completely to blame for her actions. So pause as Cooper Saxe says, do you know your sister right? And that's the thing is you only told pause certain things which we ultimately found out here, obviously the phone and everything. So so pause is just going after what she knows what you love practice. This is very entertaining but they talking about they said what somebody said Said I'm sorry, I can't find you. But she's old Kwame again going to be coming up with some dope comments. He said crack. Oh wait. No, that was me. Keisha isn't a redhead. I wonder when that will be when that will come up. So that's a good that's a good point because member Tommy was always after these redheads. Kraig heads are about as Dependable as a plastic Skillet. They're talking about Tommy. That's a that's a good one. Yes, so yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, go ahead. Yeah funny though going to mention though. Tasha sent that text to Tommy saying we might have to do some damage control on pause. So I know it they showed that for like, you know, when you text her right before right before Blanca came and then Blanca Blanca question Tasha again, and she admitted that you know, she was with him the night before having sex with silver-tipped are we so Terry silver? So is there anything else that you guys want to talk about with Cooper Saxe pause? And Tasha? I mean, here's the bottom line. Line if the government if Cooper Saxe had been more aware, maybe maybe we need to help pay for the funeral some type of way. I know he's walking on eggshells then pause my to lean more to their side, but she was like, I don't have any money. I can't pay my for my sister's funeral. There's obviously some things going on that I don't understand shout out to her for dropping that cell phone in the foot of the casket. Yeah, that was that was a dumb. But that's the only time I miss because I posited my favorite character I get I get her I understand her love for her sister, but Whole power all of her role in power. I never really got down with her. Yeah. She's a little annoying to me overbearing and all that stuff. But that was the dopest move that I think she did because that was it. That was G move right there. And do you think before we go into the funeral? Do you think that are we going to assume that ghost and Tasha or ghost Tasha wrote a check on behalf of like the funeral he did? Yeah. Well, okay. So yeah and to that point because when she walked into the funeral even gave her the head not like, you know, like it was an acknowledgement. Yeah, but don't you to wear it? Where did that money come from? If she didn't have any money at all? She wrote. I think that money came from Tommy somebody but she didn't come anywhere that that was the me said if that's my question. That's my question but ghosts also said that he's been giving Tasha money for the kids, but you know, she wants to be paid more to cover for him but the factions and yeah some more extortion to extortion lots of extortion. Yeah funeral. Hmm. Okay. I thought one of the Best scenes of the whole series. Yeah, like I loved this seen so many different moments a guys. I don't know if I'm supposed to be covering guys just go on in so the scene starts very important dialogue. We see Steve tapio, which we haven't seen since was season 5 or episode 10 episode 10. Yeah, and he says specific information that they had Dre in custody this whole time Sax was like, oh I had no idea. Yeah, and then he'll be testifying tomorrow. Now if Dre finds out that Angela's dead, he made vacate the the whole situation. So I think that's set up for episode 603 of course, but I assume that cuprous accident old my boy tied up Donovan. He's working. I didn't know if he was going to have a job this season, but he's back congrats a tie, but I'm assuming that Cooper Saxe told so I told Donovan and I have been went to Drake to go get him before he can leave because as you saw Dre was watching it on the news while doing push-up who and what is new cornrows. Yeah, I still gonna run no, no Enjoy is not doing that. He's not just a I think I don't think he's dead. I think he'll be dead before he testifies Dre's Dead next week. I also think that'd be crazy because he just got back. He's dead. He's gone. He's gone. I feel that way when it happens. I think it was interesting that sax learned. He didn't know that Dre was in custody. So it also puts into play somebody else that could be responsible for the hit on Angela. So it's you know, there was a lot of confusion for a lot of people this episode goes spent the whole episode confused, you know, when he got to the funeral they walked up and Sachs was like, he's OJ exactly what you knew Todd Love Actually the OJ. Yeah, there's so much to talk about in this episode, but I know we gotta go but listen because I there's something very very important that I want to talk about with councilman taste. So hopefully we can we can talk about that because there's something very important there. But can we even turn back a little bit and talk about the fact that Tommy officially got the sort of permission from Tariq to kill his dad remember he was just like, okay tell me first. Yeah, he was like, he just got to tell me first and then even in Tommy's face, he was just like oh that's what I was looking for. He was looking for for to recore Tasha to tell me because member even in the car. He was like, what are you saying Tosha when she said I don't know if we should you know, you know if it goes dies basically will get you know, the inheritance and he was like, what are you trying to say? So he just wanted permission to grab onto something that it was okay to kill a ghost Tasha really quickly. It says when Tasha and ghosts are arguing she mentions that killing. Tommy would be hard for Tarik since he's lost so much. That was another moment for ghosts that says damn like here we go again that Between my son and Tommy remember I said that we saw last season how he saw the two of them mineral was last season. It was the first episode he saw them getting out of the car and he had this issue with the fact that they're getting so close. So anyway, that's that's another that's going to come up again in the prediction. So anyway, I wanted to talk about that because okay, wait he go ahead. Go ahead. Go God just hop back on the funeral scene. Another great moment was when Tommy goes up to pause and say if there's anything that you need let me know. Once again, there is a recurring theme with the writing if you guys have seen juice when Tupac AKA Bishop killed killed steel he went up to his mom and say look it is anything that you need. Let me know. So the writing so far has been pretty good. Panting yes, she did and it's also another scene from Five Heartbeats because she the guy did that to Diahann Carroll as well. Remember when he came at the funeral Grant. Yeah. Okay. Okay. I thought that I thought that was a good way for for Tommy to let his make his presence be known to goes at a funeral that basically I'm still alive and then when he asked Tasha when goes as Tasha Tasha said, yep, oh smiling - yeah, and that's how she should have. Yep. Just like you keep me out the loop and keep you out of the loop. So that was his moment. He was just like I am by myself. Yeah, I don't have my son. I don't have Tommy and I do not have this woman standing next to me holding my arm and used in. Yep and everything's gone. So I think that was the moment of his mind. He's just like, okay all that software. Hey where he literally has to has to play against everyone. Yeah. Yeah, I think somehow what they're going to do this season to try to turn him back into ghost like you remember how we had James Jamie goes like we had all of that and I think someone Last week that James or Jamie died with Angie and I think ghost is trying to he has to come back. That's what everybody wanted to see deal. Jason is trying to force Jason is trying to Jason is front of Jason is trying to force him and I think between between with Tommy and Keisha and so forth, he will have to go back into he will have to go back into his ways and with councilman take out some intake hit it. Okay. Go ahead darling brother go. I mean, so we see councilman Tate holding this huge press conference. I mean The major things that I want to take from this scene as the character Will Robinson walks up disrupts the whole thing goes to take this as an opportunity to give himself an alibi for what he was doing the night before I was with Tate writing the speech and then ultimately in the following scenes. We see tape higher well to pretty much stock those but then we co dog come out. Not take care of his own assistant, I believe and I likes and Derick. Yeah, Derek and I like that because it showing what Tate is the actual take that I think we all have like predicted him coming now, but now we're seeing but the actual dog side of him. We are you know, what else is interesting about this to me when Co stepped in when will came into that press conference and started talking and I felt like something snapped and his mind. And went off like I like this politics thing. I you know, I and I think he looks at Tate. I just feel like he felt very comfortable. He likes the attention and the respect and I think that that is something to watch obviously their relationship is but I feel like ghost is trying to step on or whilst of them ultimately step on Tates feet. Oh, absolutely. Yeah literally also and then also with this with this cash Grant the fact that he He called out go saying you were something like a cornered guy way back in the day. I thought that was really interesting as well. And although I think that Tate is going to die. I do Wonder now cash because the way that he just came in and interrupted. I'm kind of curious to see what's going on with that. Once again ghost. He has to put himself first he has to has to be about him and he needed to cover himself at that very very moment. He saw the perfect opportunity to do so, so he said I've because he found the information out from Tate that he'd been writing for 18 hours. He said I've been writing with him for 18 hours and that's an alibi and and he no longer goes had a pretty dope line. He says Rashad your success is My Success politics for Success. It is a little bit deeper than pot. Wait a minute. I'm sorry God When you mention a politics because like I said, I think that I think Lawrence I think he's dead. I know he's it. I'll save that for another time. But real quick while we're on the rims. Can we can we show with this with this meme is going around about me mother week. So the week. Yeah with Lauren State, you know, we snatched this off. Well first we'll yeah. If he wants to dig into your past and the gangster stuff who I got to tell you, I interviewed him on the carpet his wardrobe Dapper down. It was like a half suit up top. I have different Elm go to my Instagram to check out his wardrobe because it is fire. And then the other meme of the week that we have is can you put that one up? Yeah. So how are you ain't this the truth Man? Classic Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reference dark-skinned Aunt Viv last chance, you know seasons 1 through 5 is like dark skin Aunt Viv season six we still like it, but I never took a story. Okay. So one other thing before we go into our top 14 after-show clip of of this week really really quickly. So when Tommy was with black Grimace and oh, yeah right here baton and so forth. I just I thought it was corny the home sat the whole agency. So my question for my question is so great. Yeah like so how was too big So you have how do you have a high SAT score? But you are small time crook like the whole thing just didn't make sense to me. You have a 22 I just I thought it was corny, but it's a setup. So we see we see bit to bit Frances now stepping up to black grandmas who I didn't I black Grouse it and I was like, yeah, but we see we see now the two of them are butting heads and and and to bid was very persistent and wanting to step up too. But work. Yeah because he wants to get that number two because he got passed over before and no more crystal ball. No more in addition to that. I believe that two-bit is becoming more frustrated. But also even against Tommy I feel like there might be something there but that's a part of the prediction. So yeah, so that's that and you know, what one of our favorite moment because that's what we're counting down but 15 of our favorite moments. So I happen to choose this one and I thought it was hilarious because of a few of us fanned out because we knew ooh that Dre is a wrote a music great actor and Dre, but I think I'm not a lot of people knew the Heats of the great artists as well. So here is one of our favorite moments number 14. I don't want to make a hit record and turn the bedroom to the studio turn off your phone. This is a closed session girl. This is what You've been rehearsing for let's set the tempo with the fast too slow. You take the lead in I'm a back you are all I can make sure you hit every hunt know. We're making love imperfect harmonies personal serenade for you. Ladies. Yes, absolutely. And I think he's gonna really a he's focusing a lot on its music because I don't think that he's gonna last long, it's Dre on power. So shout out to rotate move. And yeah, I'll have my man singing in the studio man, you know, if you got special talents or whatnot. You gotta do it here in the studio warming baby you okay? Hey. My predictions obviously we think Dre is going to meet his untimely death bam says next episode. I'm thinking maybe four but three seems likely I think we're sure take we're going to see more and more of the gangster side of him and what he's really up to because once he gets the information with ghosts, does he plan to do with it? You know, you can't make him sit down and I'm looking forward to seeing what Tyreke Junior and Fe get into Terry Jr. Sorry ghost Junior Tariq it Fe. Okay. I don't like her name by the way. Those are my predictions. Okay, so I'll go next again. I think the tube it is getting a little frustrated and remember when Kane and tries to turn to bit against them anyway, so he might even have some ammunition to turn on Tommy and maybe side with ghosts at some point. I'm not sure but so that's number one prediction and this is all for ghosts by the way. Number two prediction, which I'm really behind when Jason said to ghost when he came back to him. He said basically you can Tommy but then you got to step in as distro. He said that's impossible. He said well, if not you then who so listen when ghosts have the realization that Tariq is no longer his son. He might just realize that since I don't have anybody the way that I thought that I had them I got to do what works best for me. He might turn his son on to the game remember last season and I'm he said, what do you want from me to reset teach me the motherfucking game goes so he's he might he might he might that's a stretch but this is Ghost and this is he season 6 and they probably got to go out with a bang. So that's a possibility that he puts Tariq in a position as ghost 2.0 and bring him up under him possibility or if Drake is does not die right away. Then it's a possibility that Dre might side with ghosts because they have a common enemy with Tommy and you know that might happen as well. That's my problem with the heat. Wow, you throw me there? Yeah. I can I can go. I'm just looking forward to Tariq Squad taking over the campus and throwing all types of parties inside the dining hall with all different types of drugs because that's what's about to go down. Can we be clear requite what grade is to repent in the eleventh or twelfth? He's a freshman acting like a senior. Okay, that's what it is. But I'm looking forward to the storyline of Dre. I honestly do want to see I don't think he'll be leaving New York anytime soon. I think he's got stuff. He's got to take care of with he's putting himself first. So I think he will testify and take all the heat that comes back his way with returning. Some fire Dre will not make it to testify against him. I believe he's going to be dead because again as Jill said with Cooper Saxe not knowing that there's you know, they they run their mouths a lot. Like there's a there's a bunch of there's a bunch of telling amongst each other. So the words going to get out that Dre is is out and it and it's going to be a goose chase to see who can get to him. So that Jason meant Jason may have someone try and get to him I think is going to be a chase down but I think Dre is dead next week. He's busy he got some things to do. He's dead. He's gone. Also, when as I said earlier when I when I gave that little sermon it kind of made me realize that with Tommy being in the middle of Tasha and then Kind of pulls enemy twice. This will make perfect sense to use for them to to to save this would make sense for for them to take time for them to take Tommy out. As you mentioned with the thing that goes said to him it would make sense. If if they if they take Tommy out take Lakeisha out and then they can go about their fake happy lives and go about their business, but in reality is not going to work because Tommy's kind of the star of the show. So I think ghosts will I think goes is dead. I know I said that I was going to switch back and forth ghost ghost is dead. Unfortunately, he's gone but next week. I just want to let you guys know that Jerry Ferrara who plays Proctor will be here. He'll be guessing will be joining us for next week's show so he'll be our first guest.

About Power After Show: Follow our POWER AFTER SHOW, to see how our hosts follow a man who successfully lives his crazy double life. We discuss this extravagant lifestyle with all the surprising twists that occur in the show. Subscribe here for in depth discussions, reviews and recaps including some of your favorite cast members. ABOUT POWER: The series follows James St. Patrick, nicknamed "Ghost", owner of a popular New York City nightclub. In addition, he is a major player in one of the city's biggest illegal drug networks. He struggles to balance these two lives, and the balance topples when he realizes he wants to leave the drug ring in order to support his legitimate business. It appears James "Ghost" St. Patrick has it all -- a drop-dead gorgeous wife, a stunning Manhattan penthouse, and the power and success that come with owning hot new nightclub Truth. But a closer look reveals a man living a double life. When Ghost isn't tending to his Fortune 500 business, he's catering to clients of another operation: a drug empire that serves only the rich and influential. While loyal sidekick Tommy protects the cash-cow narcotics venture at all costs, Ghost's new reality is using Truth as more than a front to launder money. It's a way out of the drug game and into a legitimate life with his family, even if everything he loves becomes unknowingly threatened. "Power" is co-executive produced by Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson (who also co-stars) and show creator Courtney Kemp ("The Good Wife").
