Ghost: Previously on Power...

I'll be all right when I get back on my feet.

Pass me them pills.

So you told Jukebox to move to D.C. and accept who she really is?

It's probably why she looks up to you so much.

[g*nshots]

Dirt: You k*lled two people right in front of me.

I think I should walk away.

We're talking about one job here.

Well, whatever you got going, I want in on it.

Tommy: The dr*gs we gave you have been stepped on.

I need you to right this wrong.

[Yells]

Ghost: I had a meeting with Karen Bassett.

She's interested in putting one of my clubs in a new space she's opening.

I know you can run a club, but who is James St. Patrick?

The only other person who could confirm that St. Patrick is the distributor is Vibora Ruiz.

I was hoping maybe you could use some of your DEA contacts, help me find him.

All right.

They're saying Tariq brought a g*n to school.

The g*n is registered to an Angela Valdes.

My kids won't be staying at that bitch's house again.

Tasha.

I'm glad you two are getting along so well together.

We're getting sh*t set up.

Holly: I want to know what you are doing about Ghost.

Lobos k*lled our dog, Tommy.

Next time it's gonna be you or me.

Nothing's gonna happen to us.

So did you take care of everything with the, uh, principal?

I'm gonna be volunteering at the school a couple days a week, and Tariq starts therapy tomorrow.

Yeah, I wonder what kind of questions they're gonna ask him.

I don't know, but I'll make sure that he knows which ones not to answer.

Oh, the therapist's office is across town.

I can take him, but I'm gonna need you to pick him up.

Can't tomorrow.

Got a big meeting about the club that I can't reschedule.

Tariq needs to know that he's a priority in your life.

Providing for you and the kids is a priority, which is why I can't miss the meeting.

The kids appreciate all that you do for them, but you need to show your face around here every once in a while.

And if they can't come here, how am I supposed to see them?

You can see them any time you want as long as it ain't at Angela's.

Are you comfortable with the kids coming back here?

Yeah, of course I am.

Knox.

Welcome back.

Good to be back, sir.

Agent Greg Knox has caught us a very big fish, and it is with great pleasure that I welcome him back on the team.

Go ahead and give everyone the update.

Okay, thank you.

Well, I know we've all been working tirelessly for months to prosecute Felipe Lobos, and now we finally have the star witness we need to lock him away for good.

I found Vibora Ruiz in San Diego.

Took some convincing and we're gonna have to cut him a deal, but he's agreed to testify against Lobos, and I think we can convince him to give us the whole network.

Tommy: This is a huge win for us, folks.

Congratulations, Greg.

Thanks.

Good job.

Thank you.

You know what?

You got some ratchet-ass customers up in the shop.

Who was the girl getting a blonde weave?

Girl, you don't even know, right?

So her man's been cheating on her.

Said the other night he came home late and she straight up told him to pull his pants down so she could smell his d*ck.

Oh, no, she didn't.

Yes.

And she took one whiff and kicked his ass to the curb.

Are you serious?

Yes.

I told you that girl was crazy.

[laughs]

So what you doing?

You redecorating, T?

I thought it would be fun trying to make this place the way I wanted, but honestly, I don't even know how to pick something out.

What do you mean?

What do you like, T?

That's the problem.

I don't know what I like.

Everything in this place, Ghost picked out.

I mean, he always made those decisions for us.

For me.

I dress the way he liked.

I wear my hair the way he wanted me to.

I don't really remember who I was before him.

When you first started dating Ghost, he did change you, and now I'm starting to get you back.

You know what I see when I look at you?

I see a bad bitch who is about to be balling on her own, and whenever you're ready, any man would be lucky to have you and spoil you rotten.

Some n*gga to get you shoes you like.

Some n*gga to get you bags you like.

All of that stuff.

Yo, what the f*ck is this?
