Last week’s episode of Power was so intense, we thought things would slow down a bit, and perhaps some loose ends would be tied up. I’m happy to say we were wrong, because “The Right Decision” came to knock us out of our seats. And with all the drama that unfolded, it’s beginning to finally dawn on Ghost that he may never leave his past behind.
1. The Kidnapping and Death of Lobos
After two-and-a-half seasons of the drug kingpin causing some serious headaches, Lobos’ storyline was finally neutralized in the form of two bullets to the chest. It wasn’t easy. Since Tommy and Ghost have quite the fractured relationship, it was a rough go working together, and Lobos made sure to add some friction. First, Tommy and Lobos’ men intercepted the drug lord from the FBI, before he could be transferred to the Washington DC Headquarters. Tommy knew enough that he would be killed after Lobos’ freedom, but Ghost appears after they hide under a bridge. While the two argue together, he escapes.
In the end, Ghost kills him, but not before Lobos says a few things that get well under his skin. He reminds Tommy of Ghost’s loyalty and reminds Ghost that his past will catch up. It’s only a matter of time.
2. Tasha’s Scenes: All of Them
This season of Power has given us new reasons to love Tasha. Naturi Naughton dominates the screen with great timing for zingers, as her character take shots against her husband. And it’s glorious, really, since Ghost keeps putting her in compromising positions that force her to play along. Pretending to be a husband-and-wife team so Ghost’s plan of killing Lobos protects her family? Sure it makes sense, but it’s also great seeing that Tasha is making sure to sign those divorce papers, because she’s tired of his games. What will happen when Tasha is finally free of Ghost?
What havoc will she wreak, since she knows him better than he knows himself? I’m here waiting for her to reign supreme.
Sidenote—Her “Seriously, bitch, ain’t you got a job?” texts to Angela left me on the floor. Priceless.
