It soon becomes evident that nobody on the task group, not even Carter, knows that he killed Kamaal. Reiterating his claim that the hit was carried out by Russians, he gives Nico and Felicia the mission to eliminate them before Rashad Tate's involvement prompts the Investigative Affairs Bureau to come knocking on their door once more.

In this week’s Power Book II: Ghost, a deeply painful loss leads to self-reflection, healing and inner peace… just kidding! Diana’s trauma sets off a series of events that make everything worse for a whole lot of people, which is how it tends to go in the Powerverse, right? On the upside: At least we get a Tasha sighting.


Diana wakes up in a hospital bed and the first thing she sees is a tearful Tariq sitting by her bedside. “I’m so sorry, Diana,” he says, and that’s when it sinks in: She lost the baby. Later, her anger takes over. Tariq’s involvement in the drug game led to her attack, she says (though… your entire family’s entire livelihood might’ve also had something to do with it, no, D?), and she kicks him out of her room. When Cane and Monet show up, Diana tells them that Felicia was behind her miscarriage.

Tariq, who has decided to avenge his unborn child himself, calls Davis to get the addresses of Carter’s cops. But before the lawyer can do anything, he’s summoned to Noma’s. She wants help getting the government contracts that she was so close to, but he points out that the contracts require an American citizen to head up the company that will launder her cash — and she obviously would need someone she trusts in that role. She scoffs at his insinuation that he’d be the person she’d choose, but that doesn’t stop him from putting the moves on her.

Congressman Tate identifies his brother’s body at the morgue while Carter (!) looks on. The story he feeds Rashad is that a drug dealer murdered him, and Tate demands to know who it was. Carter lies and says some of the Russians Kamaal busted were behind the hit, so Tate demands that Carter call him the minute they find the shooter.
