Power Book II: Ghost Season 4 Episode 8: Everyone Makes So Many Bad Decisions They Should All End Up Dead

If you’ve got made it this far, you are probably only watching to see who dies at the top of the show. We’ve got TWO episodes left and I don’t know how that is going to finish. I do not actually have a clue anymore. The amount of bad decisions each predominant solid member makes is astounding.

For example, Cane goes to marry Noma to be the front man for her American business interests. That cannot end badly, right? Honestly, for many of the show, Cane has mostly been the one whose moral compass has never wavered — he’s a soldier who’s in it to win until he dies. He kills those that must die and operates solely by the code of the road. His motivations are clear. Everyone else is actually in limbo, though.

But Cane marrying Noma is just… weird. I get it from Noma’s perspective, but for the lifetime of me I am unable to understand what Cane gains from this arrangement, apart from trying to indicate Noma that he’s willing to do anything for her, but he never appeared to need that confirmation. Monet and Tariq are equally confused (as is Davis) and I even have to say I’m in the identical boat as them. Effie is correct to finish things with Cane at this point, since he’s still attempting to play either side together with her and Noma. (Also, Effie’s mother randomly showing up on Stansfield’s campus asking for money? In episode eight? A brand new plot? WHY!?!!) Again, for a cat who has mostly all the time appeared to be on the appropriate side of the sport, this marriage to Noma is weird. Maybe the marriage will get shot down or something, but Cane, man, is doing higher.

Speaking of people that need to enhance, Brayden must be put out of his misery. He’s a MAVEN of bad decisions. So he already got high and ruined his girlfriend’s band’s night by forcing her band to finish their relationship that allowed them to sell drugs at shows. Dude Stokely said it well: “I don’t know if we have fans or if we have friends!” Anyway, Brayden’s girlfriend overdosed on fentanyl-laced cocaine and ended up within the hospital, which began a CHAIN ​​of bad decisions for Brayden. First, he called Tariq so that they could find the guy who sold her the bad coke… “to scare him.” They ran off to scare the guy, and Brayden shot him. Obviously, bad idea. But to make matters worse, he went back to the hospital where his girlfriend woke up from her coma AND TOLD HER THAT HE’D EFFECTIVELY MURDERED THAT GUY.

Le sigh. Tariq can have to kill Brayden in some unspecified time in the future, and truthfully, it will be the appropriate thing to do.

Poor Diana is attempting to get pregnant with Tariq again to fill the void in her heart. I’m not even sure what else to say about that. Obviously she’s going through a really traumatic time in her life, so she has grace at her disposal, but Diana, you damsel in distress, just stop! Especially because Monet and Tariq are cold-blooded; when talking about Diana’s struggles, they were each like, “She’s got to deal with this, but what about Carter!!! How do we get him out of here?!” They each appear to recover from their loss pretty quickly.

Carter someway turned Felicia’s murder right into a automobile accident, which does not sit well with the remaining of the unit. But if there’s one thing Carter has shown us, it’s that he’ll make more out of a nasty situation. His solution to most problems appears to be to shoot himself out of it. Forget about cleansing up, just kill people. That’s why Brayden suggested Tariq not go to war with the NYPD, because, you understand, the NYPD has tens of 1000’s of cops, and Tariq has… Brayden? I hate them a lot. Well, mostly Brayden.

Speaking of Carter and the drug game, Dru is currently running some cases and doing pretty much. I do not think that is going to finish well for him. I do not know why, but he cannot make it to the top of the last episode, can he? Carter has the upper hand on Noma due to Davis, Tariq, and Monet, and is near getting all the data he must do MORE damage. Davis is in a critical phase and puts Noma on high alert, organising what may very well be an epic battle between Carter and Noma, but, I mean, could it? Nothing is sensible and all the things remains to be on the table.

Look, at this point I am unable to determine what I need to do with Tariq. It looks like he might go to jail due to the tape Carter has, but I’m assuming there is a universe where Tariq licks hundreds of thousands of dollars in money or something, goes after his mother and Rayna, after which they move to Mexico perpetually.

I do not know, but I really like the ridiculousness of it. It’s not that I won’t stop watching this show, it’s that I am unable to stop watching this show. Uff, chile.
