Tariq and Yasmine on Power Book II Ghost Season 2 Episode 2

Riq woke to NYPD banging at his door, they snatched him up, yet they took him to get his sister Yasmine from the station. His grandmother got a DWI and Davis sent Saxe to grease the wheels a bit. Tariq learned the lawyer who had been gunning for him is now on his attorney team. Saxe got him a brief meeting with Estelle. The pressure of slowly losing her family was breaking Estelle and she sought to drink as a coping mechanism. Suddenly, they discovered Yasmine was forced to go into foster care for the night.

Mecca called Cane to question him about his family and where his loyalties lied. Mecca decided to give Cane a shot. However, Lil’ Guap crashed the party by following Cane to Mecca’s and he ironically invited the man inside. This fool was live-streaming his whereabouts. Mecca grabbed him and individually broke 4 fingers while chastising Cane about tightening up his crew. Mecca changed his mind and threw the two out.

Tariq was pissed, visiting Davis questioning why Saxe was working with him. Saxe had gotten Estelle’s charge significantly reduced. Riq learned Yasmine would, unfortunately, have to stay in foster care until his grandmother’s hearing. Now Tariq needed someone with a lot of money and influence to help his situation.

Congressman Tate got a surprise visit from Simon Stern. Tate wanted dirt on Congressman Sweeney yet Simon wanted to shift his focus on Carrie at Stanfield. Tate visited Carrie as he would co-chair her course and she wasn’t welcoming of the man.

Meanwhile, Det. Whitman questioned Carrie’s sponsor about her. He wanted to know about her relationship with Jabari Reynolds.

When Riq returned, he entrusted Brayden with handling the product solo.

Exit Strategy

Zeke held a press conference to announce he would be entering the NBA this year. Monet and Diana were in attendance and Monet coached him through it yet needed his assurances that his off-court distractions wouldn’t be an issue.

Diana had been handling the family’s accounting and proposed getting her degree in accounting to better manage the family’s wealth when Zeke got into the league. Monet stifled the plan stating she wasn’t ready for school and the streets. She gave her daughter some words of wisdom about relationships and pursuing one with Tariq.

Zeke and Dru spoke on the basketball court as he tried to rehab his shoulder. Dru let it slip that Tariq was behind the CourseCorrect app and Monet was banking on Zeke as an exit strategy. They would pack up and leave with Zeke, not stay behind running the family business. Suddenly, a sports agent crashed the chat and offered his business card to Zeke.

Powdered Sugar

When Tariq got to class, he was surprised to see Tate. The irony of a politician teaching ethics. They posed the question about selfless acts. After class, Tariq approached Tate for help in th family courts. Suddenly, Det. Whitman interrupted to question Riq about Professor Reynolds.

Whitman was so adamant at nailing Carrie that he let his ambition about the woman slip. Tariq picked up on it and offered a tip that she and Jabari were rumored to have a fling.

Brayden delivered a package in New Haven to Effie who was pissed he was late with the shipment. She soon discovered the drugs had been stepped on. Brayden phoned Tariq but no answer…

Tariq met with Cane and the latter wanted to know why Rameriz’s name hadn’t been associated with Jabari’s murder. Tariq told the man he spoke with the cops and the suspicion is aimed at Carrie– not them. Cane wanted assurances the heat wouldn’t blowback on them and suddenly Riq had to exit and meet with Brayden.

Tariq went to Diana to ask him to give him a ride up to New Haven. Prior to him arriving, Brayden and Effie got into a fistfight with one of her customers. Brayden was banged up. They all met and discovered that the drugs Diana and Monet gave to Tariq was powdered sugar. They all argue about who was responsible.

When Diana returned home, Monet confronted her about her whereabouts and she told her that Tariq’s crew got caught with fake product which came from them. Monet knew it was Rico who planned to sell her bogus drugs before she killed him. Problem is, Monet didn’t check the product, yet distributed it.

Severing Ties

Cane grabbed Dru to apologize to him for getting him shot. Dru told Cane about the bogus drugs and that the family needed a new connect. Cane proposed he might be able to help with it.

Zeke visited Carrie to inform her that they should stop seeing each other. When he left her place, Whitman was lurking and observing. He then visited Carrie, barging in, and questioned her about Zeke. He got her alibi and she claimed to be home with her student Zeke when Jabari was murdered.

Tariq went to speak with Carrie but was interrupted by Tate. While she was out of the office, he finally deleted all of his messages to his mother and sought to plant the burner phone in her desk. Instead of planting the phone, Tariq tossed it in a bonfire, finally severing ties with his mother.

Switched

Monet paid Lorenzo a conjugal visit and complained, arguing about her dilemma of seeking a new connect. Lorenzo demanded she take Cane up on his offer. Monet visited Cane to check him, to stay away from Tariq, and introduce the new connect. She invited him back home.

Diana visited Effie to ask her to teach her the game. Effie gave her a clue to look at all the players and point out the one who stood the most to gain behind the bad product.

Cane had intercepted and swapped his family’s drug supply to Tariq/Brayden to make them rely on him. Cane took his proposal to Mecca for reconsideration. He manipulated his family into needing him.

Cane got home in time for family dinner and Diana grew suspicious of him about the convenient timeliness of his new plug. Tariq slipped away with Lauren but got called by Diana about the new supply. Lauren was upset he’s always distracted.

Old Friends

Saxe spoke with Davis about his findings regarding Tariq’s involvement in the Jabari Reynolds murder investigation. It was dollars ringing in Davis’ ears. They discussed the police lead suspect, Carrie, would be leak and Tariq could have suspicion come his way.

Later on, Davis had visited Carrie. Despite their past, he tried to offer her legal defense help but she immediately shunned him. Det. Whitman snatched Zeke up and hauled him in for questioning.

Monet finally met Mecca. Seems he had been signaling her for some time now. They had known each other for a long time and they had a call sign to alert each other to meet. He gave her his card and they parted ways…
