A lackluster season finale and season. Not so much to that prediction from Pops for a World "Fucking" War. There goes their 401(k) now Ronnie is gone. Most of the setups this season fell flat. The writers put themselves in a corner with Howard killing Burke. There was no way they could write how he would answer for Burke's death after they showed him finding the recording on her in the car. Such a wasted storyline. They just decided to have Raq shoot him in the head the way he did Burke. Bye Howard. For 3 seasons, you never did any detective work or solved a crime. You wasted taxpayer's money! Should have handed in his badge and gun a long time ago. We finally get Raq and Ronnie face to face, no real dialogue between them to get some context to their beef and it ends with Kanan shooting him. Ugh! It just setup more animosity for Kanan to Raq as she killed his father. See ya Ronnie. I'll have a bowl of Honey Nut Cherrios in your honor! I didn't like Ronnie, but I admit he should have been around for next season to be a good adversary. That better be the "Ghost" of Unique. No way a person takes repeated blows to head from a pipe and is walking weeks later and well dressed. Nonsense! The two guards up front took their sweet time arriving after the first shot. Enough time for Marvin to get from the other side to shoot them. Can't find decent help these days. Worst assassination attempt in Power history. Raq is right there, they missed and then crashed into another car. Atrocious! Were these the same fools guarding Ronnie's warehouse?!! Why show the disclaimer for "suicide" this week and not one for last week with Gerald's death. The FBI was wrong about Gerald's death. It's on them authorities. They should have immediately arrested Gerald after the death/ taken his second daughter away and not have him go free to get drugs to OD. The FBI took the Biggest "L" this season! They tried to get at Stephano to no avail. He told them "FU" and maybe got them to buy some fish. They tried to have Gerald infiltrate, and it didn't work. They tried to follow Raq, and they stopped for some reason. They tried to go at Lou and told them to go home! Famous was next up and yelled "Lawyer". All this time I thought they had the goods on Howard and that wasn't to be. Waste of taxpayer's money! The FBI started the season clueless and end it more clueless. Tanner foolishly gave Howard "2 days" to possibly pack his bags, get a head start to leave Queens if he wanted to instead of "one hour" to provide answers. Howard left the police station, and they didn't bother put a tail on him to see him go straight to Raq's house. At least, they were successful breaking up Butta. Iesha coming out to Juke after she messed up her Butta opportunity! Butta is no more because the FBI talked to Juke about her family??!!! I can see if Juke was arrested for murder but just for questioning. Not making sense to me. In 20 years, I'm looking forward to the "What could have been...." documentary on Butta on YouTube! I had a feeling Lou was being taken to rehab. Next season, they need to do better with this character! I guess Kanan told Krystal to not keep the baby and that is why she was crying. Famous was so foolish to not get rid of the gun. His mother must have been doing some serious snooping in his room to find it. Then she went straight to the police instead of confronting Famous. Don't make sense! Damn Pops. Control yourself in front of Marvin!

I was surprised he didn't have a slice of pizza in one hand and the camera in the other. Seems it was just unnecessary humor. Not sure what his role will be down the line now that the brother got played/Raq won. Maybe Raq can get to the brother's "gypsy" to contact Unique, Def Con or Juliana (to see how she likes her new unliving arraignments). Iesha had plenty of opportunities to reveal herself to Juke. I could be wrong; I don't think she likes Juke any more than just friendship. It's like the show decided Lou's fate but just didn't have a good story to get there and came up with this lame plot. I think the FBI is playing Howard. Howard is next to Lou as having nothing to do this season. Maybe he will get arrested and get killed in jail. We'll see. Just mentioning Howard from Papa Bingham put Papa Burke on the track to Howard. Now Papa Burke will go back to Adina. She has some intel Shannon told her on Howard. They can piece the rest and go to the FBI. No drugs from Shannon to Nicole. Just improper contact from her after she was told she was off the case. Or run back to her office to pack her personal belongings and quit. I guess she'll just put "glowing "remarks about Raq/Kanan on her reports and never visit them again. Still, she could have flagged a cop or two to arrest Ronnie for intimidation. Guess it's not worth it on her salary. Me neither. Could Ronnie piece together Pernessa saw him and the "Bodega Lady" together, go after her to see if she told Raq and know she was the one that killed Julianna? Will Pernessa survive this? I can see him and Kanan stealing shipments from Joaquin. In Lou's drunk state he would think the stove and eggs are recording equipment. When is Joyce going to ask Raq when she can move in?? LOL Yes. It took a bad turn when Juke found out at the party he was dealing with Ronnie, Snaps and Pops and when Juke went to his apartment. Now, Krystal is going to further complicate matters. Yes. I don't think dive types like Krystal have other girls do that and risk getting shot by NYPD or arrested. I can see her brother or a boyfriend doing that. Pernessa had tears when the scene started (there must have been some impactful dialogue), so I thought that was from Raq confessing. It wasn't clear. How many motel room keys are giving out? Maybe Marvin was in the closet and came out when the lights went off. Right. Don't bother tell Ronnie and Kanan. But I thought he would act a little tough to Marvin though.

When did the FBI turn Gerald? What charges are they holding over him to make him spy on Marvin? He is just a drug addict or is there more? Gearld was so stupid mentioning the NYPD, Bulletproof records and mafia to Marvin who was so pissed. Marvin was holding the knife like he wanted to stab him in front of his daughters. Those girls are going to be orphans soon and Uncle Marvin better not adopt them. Marvin wants to help Lou and Raq had no interests. I hope a conclusion to this Lou storyline is next episode. All the drinking and lamenting this season is exhausting to watch. I am surprised it took Papa Burke this long to suspect Howard. I think the FBI is setting up Howard by having Ogden leak information to him. Whatever Ronnie said to Social Worker Walsh to scare her, I am sure he ordered her to go get him some "Honey Nut Cheerios". That is why she quickly ran away to the supermarket. She could have easily called the cops on Ronnie. Isn't she trained for any type of intimidation? Joaquin was exposed to be a lazy boss. He should have known what Juliana was up to if he had easily confirmed the truth after Raq told him. Joaquin is not running a tight ship. Julianna thought she had enough money to pay off Raq from killing her. At least, Juilana went out acting stupid. Writers trying to tell us Juliana had that "queen pin" inside her all along and was waiting to be let out after her husband was killed. I am still not buying her sudden, overnight transformation. Anyway! Good Riddance!!!!!!!!!!! Shirley tells Famous: Lou's equipment ISN'T hers but tells him he can use it if he puts in works around the bar. Huh! For a moment I thought Shirley was going suggest Famous do some naughty stuff to her to gain access to the studio. Joyce was so wrong for making that pitiful, atrocious toast and eggs. I have a feeling she is going die while there is an attempt (from maybe Snaps and Pops) to assassinate one of her kids. Did Raq confess to Pernessa she was sleeping with Unique? All those people on the subway platform and none to help Juke. The next train must not have been that far behind for Juke to get and not be so late for rehearsal. I was surprised Juke held back and not knocked out Krystal at rehearsal or waited for her afterwards. So, Krystal has some crew down to whatever for her. Let's see how long this will go on with Kanan. The look on Raq's face seeing David melt down to his brother was funny. Marvin the voyeur, mailman, photographer can now walk through motel walls and not make a sound??? How long was he sitting there watching the two? The courier guy Marvin searched, was so quiet, so pleasant and didn't put up any resistance. Did he bother tell Kanan/Ronnie what happened. I guess they would have fired or kill him for this.

Last episode, Lou went over Scrap's mom to confess in a drunk state/weep and weep more, didn't drop Raq's name to her and Scrap's mom didn't think it was necessary to ask his drunk ass who shot her son before going to Detective Peng!!?? But she thought it was important to run to Peng with the important piece to the news. If Peng approached Lou, he can easily deny. I thought she would be better at this CI game. Scrap's mom was better off letting someone from the street handle the Thomases. Howard tells Peng: FBI agent Tanner wanted to see him and Peng almost climaxed! Peng thinks he is big shot now that the FBI wants to get him involved. He went home, told his wife how valuable he was today (let's celebrate). Peng is a terrible detective to allow Howard to talk to his CI. Did Peng bother follow up with Scrap's mom on the information she told Howard. Peng just believed everything Howard told him. Now that she is dead, I doubt incompetent Peng, Tanner or Captain Baptiste will connect Howard to people dropping dead after they come in contact with him. As predicted, Juliana and Ronnie on the couch. She was tried to get a "rise" to no avail out of comatose Ronnie. Didn't Ronnie move out of Unique's house? Why is he bringing Juliana there? Of Course, Pernessa will get this back to Raq about the "bodega lady". There goes Juliana putting evil thoughts in Ronnie's head again. I thought Pernessa was going to be killed. Is Shirly an enabler? Never hear her tell Lou to stop drinking. She had two bottles in her hands when she went to see Lou in the studio. I am sure they weren't all for herself or storage. Please don't let us find out Kate Egan is the mother of Gerald's daughters and getting Gerald hooked on drugs. Gerald is a terrible father, where is that social worker that went to Raq, to pay him a visit?? For a junkie, Gerald's house is somewhat clean, his daughters seem fine and he can keep a job. Are those girls in school (as to the reason they have no homework)? Did Iesha/Pukebox clean her mouth after puking??!! Later she kissed Kanan with that junk mouth at the movies. Oh no! Kanan will be the downfall for Butta. Poor Nykiah. They never had a chance. Good job Krystal putting "D" before the group! Poor Kanan just wanted his "Other Popcorn .....Butta'd". Sorry bad pun! There was no one else in the theater to tell Kanan and Iesha to "STFU we are trying to see the movie!"?!! I am not sure why Kanan was giggling/laughing when Ronnie said Paul pissed his pants on the couch. Kanan has to sit on that couch. How long will Famous last being back home? Foolish Quan telling Raq his business is sophisticated. Raq cracked the code in less than a day. Adina is not pursuing Howard? Way to keep Shannon's spirit alive. She blamed everyone else except Howard for her death. Not sure why it was important to point out the uncle was eating the famous #37? The # 37 didn't look appealing. No gratitude from Joyce Thomas for the amount for money Lou gave her. She wanted more. Congrats to Howard for his transfer, so he can get closer to FBI Intel. Not sure why Tanner is telling him "I will drop my pants for you"!! He seems SUSpicious! Could have kept it to a professional response. So far since Season One, has Howard done any detective work, make an arrest, wrote a parking ticket or solved a case???? Howard should be demoted not promoted!!

I had to look back at the first episode and it was said High Post was set on fire for "telling". Also, according to Unique: High Post and Ronnie had an agreement on where to sell on the blocks. So, did Raq setup Ronnie to go to jail with help of the dirty cop?? There has been a lot of devious doings to many people for many years from Raq, it surprising most of Southside Queens are not doing drive by shootings or firebombing her home. I guess people are too afraid to make a move on her.

He is so fragile now. A Ronnie party has cereal and water served. No music! I was relieved to see it was a Snaps and Pops party. Also, why are Snaps and Pops saying "Fuck Raq" too with Ronnie? What has Raq done to all these people? I guess it was all her husband's fault keeping her at the bodega and holding her back from her true position!! When is the last time Juliana cracked a smile? I think both will lie in bed expressionless afterwards.

Welcome back to "game" Raq. Your retirement didn't last long! One encounter with a plumbing problem has driven you back to Stephano's fish stinking arms!! Raq has to park on the street. She doesn't have a driveway and garage. How does everyone know where Raq lives? She just moved there! What did Raq do to High Post that Pernessa was alluding? Social Worker Walsh was easily tricked by Raq and Kanan. She is bad at her job. I can see the show being cruel and killing the social worker in some failed assassination attempt on Raq. Paul thinks he can make threats to Kanan. I think Ronnie is going to eliminate him. Why was Marvin allowed to sit in Butta's showcase? He should have been waiting outside. Gerald is going to mess up Marvin and Juke. He is going to dig into what happened to Toni and most likely expose Juke sexuality. Now Marvin is on the FBI's radar, Gerald is definitely going to be a part of Marvin's demise. Look at Marvin showing remorse, not making Juke's success all about himself. More to my suspicion Marvin is done this season. No one can be redeemed and thrive in this universe. What the hell happened to Lou? This grown man is completely pathetic blaming all on Raq. One conversation with Raq and he is back on the bottle, crying and confessing about Scrap's death to his mother. Lou just got her killed. Lou's crying performance left a lot to be desired. His acting coach should be ashamed. I would be VERY hesitant accepting an invite to a party from Ronnie and I'm not bringing Juke and Iesha. Just a gun. I don't know what that scary guy is up to. I laughed at that long introduction from Snap about Pops. Juke qualified for the Army. Decisions! Decisions!!!! For her! Juke looked jealous watching Kanan and Iesha. Nkiyah might faint trying to squeeze the blood, sweat and tears out of the girls. Kanan kicked Famous out Famous' apartment. Famous rented the place. Kanan probably expects Famous to continue paying rent. If Famous feels SO much guilt, go to the police a confess to the murder in addition to Raq's setting up Kanan. Also here is the real 411 for Famous, that song was trash. I'm sensing Ronnie and Juliana are going end up in bed. Something I don't want to see. Juliana has access to all that heroin and her cousin Joaquin will not get word or notice product is gone?!! Let's see how long her and Ronnie's partnership last. Mr. Meticulous Ronnie didn't bother clean up the Tailor Shop or hide the murder weapon. His fingerprints are probably on the pipe. "Giorgio! Hold my calls!". As if we have heard Stephano's phone constantly ringing!!

You are right. I forgot to mention, we got a glimpse of the meanness when Juke beat up the church kid for setting her up for Kenya. But there is another level for Juke to go. Also, I'm not sure how much Burke's death affected her.

Yes. The Army is the start but when will the bitterness, meanness from her happen. Juke has been smiling a lot. I agree it could start with N'kiyah. Maybe something will happen to Marvin. They have been getting along recently and something may happen to him to put her on a dark path.

I thought he was going to do something to her for Unique to get fired up. But now that Unique is gone and after the next episode, I don't think we will see Pernessa again (Unless she teams up with Raq to get Ronnie). Soon we have to start seeing Juke's transformation to that angry cop in Power 1. Maybe it starts with some disappointment with this group.

I think Ronnie set the record for consecutive episodes with a kill. It's 3 now. Or maybe Tommy holds the record. Unique the newly appointed, champion "Big Dog" just turns his back on Ronnie to be beaten with a pipe, tossed on the side of the road with the trash and got his chain taken. I guess Ronnie will go back to Julianna to tell her she was right about taking out Unique. That will be some strange team. Anyway, Julianna has to go. Maybe Ronnie will get her. Ronnie has been tailing Unique all around the city and can't figure out if he has any other work. He never followed him to Stephano or Quan. The car owner did not have a clue/sense to keep looking over his shoulder on a dark street with that car. Ronnie tells him nice car and he rudely ignores him. Then the gun comes out and his manners suddenly returns for him to hand over the keys. I was surprised Ronnie didn't shoot him. Ronnie steals a car and drives like a lunatic to Unique's house to ring the bell. Ronnie doesn't have a key to the house?! Later, he made his way in the house when Pernessa arrived. Demo slipped up saying Raq, which sparked the FBI to go back to her. I'm not sure why the FBI "Ruled her out" that fast in the first place and never talked to her after dead mob bodies were all over Queens and NJ. Shirley can't take the hint Lou is trying to quit drinking. She tried to get him Jim Beams and Lou declined. Then she did it again at the Open Mic. Only in the Power universe, police in marked cars can sneak up and suddenly appear. Why did the kid bother yell "5.0.". It's too late. Should have been said 5 minutes earlier. The cops only caught Famous. They didn't bother chase the others. The police are now catching up to Famous to question about Freddie's murder? What took them so long? Gerald is a hypocrite! He assumed Juke and Marvin are from the "wrong side of the tracks" and Marvin corrected him. Moments later, Gerald accuses the police of quickly labelling Deen as a drug dealer. As if Gerlad always knew the struggle/stereotypes. Why was Gerald pissed when Marvin left the diner. I think Gerald might write an article and expose Juke as gay and she will get kicked out the group. Unique can never enjoy his sandwich. Pernessa makes it for him and before he can take a bite; she is on his ass about Raq, he leaves and avoids getting hit with a glass. Of course, Raq gave grandma the biggest envelope. I'm impressed the crowd remembered how to spell Famous' name to keep along with the song. Does Juke have feelings for Iesha? I can see this being an issue between her and Kanan. Was the audition only for vocals and the judges assumed they can dance? Iesha is testing their nerves. She better get it right soon. I don't remember Howard doing much this episode. I hope Ronnie is not here much longer.

No real significance. We're just joking on that was all we see him eat so far. LOL. Evil Bee rubbing his hands together telling Ronnie the plans for the day. Thanks! I guess. I never thought anyone can do that on a form.

Now we have Snaps and Pops. Who and where is Crackle? Sexy Ass Urkel/prison muscles/Strong Silent?!! Pops has no shame around Snaps. They must be in an open relationship. I guess the writers wanted something flashy to start the show. I don't get the opening scene. A wild police chase. Jevon had to act like a clown on the road before the delivery and got caught. So, the police didn't follow up on the map, beeper and weed? He didn't snitch on Kanan/Paul but he still should be fired for not being trusted making deliveries. I'm surprised his legs weren't damaged form the crash. Paul will be killed or removed from the deal soon if he keeps going to Kanan with complaints. Gerald cleaned up really quickly for a junkie that was strung out for several days. Marvin grabbing his head was funny. Marvin and Gerald forming a support group. How nice. Not sure where this is going. I am sure Marvin can use the Village Voice to promote Club Vous. Raq was wrong to set up Kanan that way. That plan could have gone left if Howard did do his part. The NYPD must get a 1,000 calls a day and Howard just happened to be there to intercept Kanan's issue for Raq. Famous has to be a dead man now when Kanan finds out he let Raq in, planted the gun and took the money (like a good hoe). Him screaming "Miss Raq" was funny. So, no Feds surveilling Raq's house to take pics of her and Howard meeting outside? Raq didn't spot the surveillance van by Kanan's apartment like she did last week? Detective Ogden looked worried about Howard during the FBI agent's and Howard's talk. I think the FBI is on to Howard. Now the thought of cheating is in Pernessa's head about Unique. Thanks Ronnie! Who let Ronnie in to play Bingo and why didn't those people get up move away for him for a new table. I would have loved to see the scene of him entering the Bingo Hall. Bye Deen! I thought Ronnie was going to take out Grandma too. Damn! No more Vanilla/Strawberry Ensure, hearing aid supplies and Bingo for her. When did Unique start doing business with Juliana and Joaquin? Of course, Ronnie knew where to go to meet them. Juliana was giving Ronnie a long look. Maybe she wants a piece of Sexy Urkel too or use him to get revenge on Unique and Raq. I still don't know why she has a grudge against Raq. Wow. Juliana and Joaquin are in a scene other than sitting at the restaurant. Juke really expected Marvin to get up and answer the door while he is eating his cup of noodles. "Butta with an A"! There are so many jokes with that name. I guess the Focus group didn't really think through. But it's the 90s. N'Kiyah talked tough to girls in the studio but she was really nervous in Juke's neighborhood. She got out of the house without Marvin making a move on her? A diva, girl next door and tomboy. Seems like a successful formula. I guess when she said "boyfriends", Juke's being gay will be the downfall of the group or Juke's exit and they will find a replacement for her. Poor Shirley! Club Vous will be destroyed very soon by the Thomas family. Her retirement will come early. Get a maid service Lou. His place is a mess. Marvin can get on him about his "drunk tank" smell but not the foul odor from the apartment. Relator Stuart has a big mouth. He ran to Officers Roland and/or Buckley after Raq made the offer. Either they will be dead soon or on Raq's payroll. I thought Ronnie was going to kill Unique in his sleep or when he was showering after being told "He ain't shit". Raq, Deen/ Grandma, Unique all have a lot of fruit in their places, but they are never eating it. They prefer to eat pizza, a sandwich, drink Ensure and take-out food. That's a nice room and bed Raq set up Kanan. He shouldn't complain. There are so many product placements on this show. I don't think the other Books have that many.

Didn't take long for Ronnie "the NutCracker using a car door" to kill or assault the bouncer and steal his money. Good job not cleaning your fingerprints off the bouncer's car door. I thought he was meticulous??!!! I doubt Unique went back home after he left the meeting with the Vietnamese dealer (Quan). Ronnie was home admiring the Honey Nut Cheerios box, so how did he know Unique was going to see Raq and the time to follow him. Now Ronnie knows about Kanan, where he lives, and he is a dealer. I think the Honey Nut Cheerios Bee is supplying Ronnie ALL the information and times where people will be. Who or what prevented Ronnie from taking out Raq back in the day? Captain Baptiste is a terrible, clueless cop to not have any suspicion on Howard and the biggest gossiper. He just tells him about Adina pushing IAD. If Howard kills Adina, Captain Baptiste will still not connect the dots from Burke/Adina to Howard. Gerald is really "down" if Marvin is the first person he tells the kidnappers to call. Maybe he was hoping Marvin would kill them. For Marvin to go help Gerald, pay the ransom and not beat the two guy's asses was shocking. Raq is so paranoid about the Feds she makes a U turn and drives the wrong way on a One-Way Street. Giorgio really thought he could take on all the Feds with his little pistol. Feds made that BIG "Raid", and they had nothing on Stephano. Red Arowanas was their big play to get his attention. Really!!???? Already they are not looking good! I had hopes for them. First impression did not go well! There were dead mobsters at Raq's house, Bullet Proof records, Unique's spot in NJ and the Feds must have been told Sal's killer is black. The Feds first move was to apprehend Stephano and not question any of the Thomas Family. Ok! I guess! I'm surprised Famous told Kanan Raq gave them money and he didn't keep it all for himself. He can keep it with a clear conscience now. Famous couldn't hold the door for Kanan as they both were going back into the building after seeing Ronnie. So rude! Speaking of Rude! Unique can't hold back insulting potential business partners. He calls Stephano "Little Linguini" and then insults Quan on how he arrived in the US. Quan hates the Chinese and most of their food but has a Chinese wife. "Can't help who we love"! Unique should be weary of a guy that can't peel an orange quickly. You know you're in the wrong club if "Young MC" is playing. I would have thought Raq had a key to Marvin's house. She had to ring the bell. I felt Raq's disgusts with the two hairdressers talking and not focus getting the job done on her hair. Barbers do that all the time too. So annoying. Now we know where she learned Spanish. Was the arrogant girl lying or was she the first person the judges picked. She must have been really impressive to be told before all auditions concluded. They couldn't tell Juke at that time she was on stage after her 30 second audition too??!!! Why did they put "Jukebox" on the audition form and not "Laverne"?!!?? Lou gets released and the first place he goes is back to the bar and not to audition. Unless he thought it was over. So much for being there for Juke!!! For a moment, I thought Shirley Beaumont was making a play for "Lou Train" with innuendos (My "Door" is always open, I'm a lover not a fighter..). I guess the line is drawn with her by not helping Lou get out of jail/drunk tank. Did the ignorant guy not press any charge on Lou? So, Lou discovered Das EFX or Das EFX 2.0? Of all bars/clubs, why would they choose her place to showcase?

She is gone! Never got to see her "One Hit Wonder" dream come to be!!!!!!!!!!

I hope she get eliminated soon. If she is still upset with Raq about Unique kidnapping her, why can't she send people to take out Unique. They sure do. Pure inept or corrupt trash! Burke maybe the best cop out of all of them. She solved the history on Howard but was stupid to meet him on a dark street. I still have hope Bobby Difranco from Book 4 can be a decent cop and do something meaningful. It was dumb. I really thought he was going to die on the steps or when he was in the truck and a bullet hit him in the back. And now the dog will torment many postal carriers delivering mail, then get pepper sprayed and taken to an animal shelter. I never heard of the Postal Service using dogs to guard trucks. He does. He will only be useful again if he has to get involve with Raq against Ronnie and/or Unique. I can see Ronnie taking him out.

Raq is retired??!! Yeah! Right! There is no "Going Away Party" in the drug game? Once she sees Kanan profiting, will she want back in? Unique or Ubiquitous has been over Raq's place almost every night for 2 weeks. While leaving Ronnie alone in the house with his girl and child. She keeps telling him her fears and Unique just brushes it off. Ronnie is going to do something to them. But the Bodyguard at the club is first. Unique thought it would be a good idea to take "Staring in the dark to a turned off TV" Ronnie to a club? Was Ronnie the life of the party, dancing machine, a lady's man before he went to prison? If so, maybe Ubique can't tell prison messed him up. If Ronnie was wrongfully convicted, he sure is acting like he wants to go back to prison. Raq should have told Stephano to reimburse for the melted ice cream and a new sliding door. Not sure why Stephano needed to kidnap them. Request a meet. I still can't believe Juliana is a crime boss. What an overnight make over for this character. Does Juliana and Joaquin do anything else besides eating and drinking? We never have seen Father Burke give Shannon any grief about being gay but now he gives all the shit to Adina. He believes she killed herself mostly because she was gay??!! Serious! He is not suspecting Howard is to blame??!! Now it's up to Adina to do this all alone. Oh, great another Federal Tasks force. Let's see how masterfully they screw up this investigation or will this be the time they finally get a win. Who is the informant in Stefano's crew to tip off the FBI about the hit? Sal hears news about an impending hit on him and doesn't bother beef up security or change churches. He should be embarrassed for not anyone watching his back at the church and not having good aim to hit Speedy Marvin (how did they miss?). That's the best club Marvin and Lou can go to drown their troubles? Looked like a place for Weston types. Lou yelled "South Side" and no one except the paid tramps yelled back. The two girls just whispered it to appease Lou. So sad for Lou! Last season, Palomar lived down the hall from Famous. Now they were on the other side of the building. I guess Raq scared her, and she moved. Crime Boss Stephano needs Unique to be approve by other bosses? Was Unique approved by the others when he worked with Sal last season. Only Marvin can hop a fence wearing dress shoes, clean clothes, a leather jacket and not get dirty. I guess his burglar clothes are in the washing machine. Nice of the Postal Service to leave the keys in the truck for Marvin. And clothes to fit Marvin and Demo. Again, Demo is helping Marvin. Is he really disabled? Poor Marvin! Can't get a high five from Mr. Bingham. Paul's business seems to be legal before he agreed to Kanan's proposal. Why is his office in the apartment building? Oh No. Lou and Juke are smiling and laughing. Now I'm convinced Lou is done this season.

All this build up and that's how Burke goes out and Howard found the recording? Waste of a character. I hope there is a payoff to this. Burke was so stupid this episode. She just burst into the hospital to accuse Howard with no evidence in front of the captain and looked stupid. Then gets her gun and badge taken but still kept the keys to her police car. She should have taken the bus from the hospital. And last, this fool meets Howard on a dark street alone. Meet at a diner or some place in public or tell her father she was going there. She just foolishly trusted Howard. Howard probably did a shitty job cleaning his prints. Not sure what Adina's mother's issue had to do with Burke. When is the memorial for Zisa? Did NYPD or New Jersey police pay a visit to Sal or Stefano? If they believed Lou's and Raq's story, there are enough dead Italian mobsters to go and visit the mafia. Stefano is funny. He always makes sure Sal doesn't leave without buying some expensive fish or a tank. I guess we are going to meet some of the 10 people being released due the dirty cop. I wouldn't be surprised if Howard had something to do with this scandal. Ronnie is going to be trouble. Unique shouldn't trust him in the house with his girl and son. Cereal wasn't good enough or got soggy and Ronnie had to get Chinese takeout. I'm not sure if Raq should have given her new address Unique so quick. Famous should have told Raq and Howard: he is not leaving until they buy him a house or pay his rent. They would have beaten his ass but it's worth a try. I'm sure Famous used that money to buy weed. Why did Lou leave out telling Kanan: Raq killed Scrap. I can see Lou going this season if tries to take out Raq. Lou Lou looked pathetic. Drinking and whining. Who will want to buy Raq's shot up house?? Good luck selling it. Was that the guy in the wheelchair driving Marvin? The Mafia could have gotten Marvin as they were getting in the van. It's not that fast to get from a wheelchair to the driver's seat. What a great Guidance Counselor. Didn't even know Laverne's name! Will Juke take Burke's death hard and lead her to be a cop?

Her black outfit looked nice with the black trash bags. What more can I say to compliment her?! I'm being nice! LOL It might meet the levels in "War of the Roses" with those two. The passenger side window was halfway up, when he had Vic in the car. The others were shot out. Tommy must have a 24-hour body shop next to his place. Driving with no windshield/windows could have been Stacy's last chance to arrest the elusive Tommy Fuckin' Egan! Another failure for Stacy. Can't established codes. I guess Stacy decided they need to go back to office to meet instead of sitting in an SUV (she must have sensed it wasn't a good idea and they dodged a bullet. Whew! No one saw them). And the Serb most likely had the gas tank filled for Jenard. For all that courtesy, Jenard should have shot him in the pinky toe and spared his life. I guess we know what is more valuable to Marshall. And when he wakes up, he needs to move and not tell Dmac. Me too. They are going to drag out this annoying character. I hope he tries to get back with Genesis and gets promptly rejected and then killed by Tommy or King Kilo. I guess she is going to finish Elise and take over all of Claudia's territory. I can see her dismissing Jenard if she ever makes it to the top. I thought her first move was to eliminate Diamond and then Tommy.

It was funny! I hope Claudia is really dead. I don't want to hear next season: a doc got to her in time to save her. I would have expected Tommy to do it himself. So, Claudia's supposedly last time on the show didn't require a final nude scene. Not what the fans wanted. I hope she learned a valuable lesson to never wear high heels to a drug deal. When did that woman know it was the right time to stab Claudia? Tommy to her: "Use your Special Hearing, when I say Liliana ....go shank Claudia". If Claudia is dead, we better not see Elise next season trying to run the Irish business. She should have been there to get killed or arrested too. I must admit: Claudia did look good laying in bags of trash! She looked at home! Stacy has higher standards than the rest! Bullshit! She should have arrested Tommy a long time ago just for faking his death and being a fugitive. Now, Stacy trying to put the blame on Difranco. Stacy is trash. That marriage is over. Tommy has 100 lives. He has a bug in his apartment and the Feds never got anything incriminating. Unreal! I'm sure they missed the part when Tommy told Kate he has coke for her. Tommy probably banged Mireya quietly so the Feds can't get intel on how intense and/or how long he strokes. Of course, he survives shots from useless/have no aim Nico. Surprised Tommy got cut and a little blood came out. Did Tommy drive around the city with shot out windows or did Tommy take it to the guy that can fix his car in 8 minutes before he picked up Vic? How can Miguel send "ONE" guy (Naci) after Tommy? SMH! He went with a full team after the Serbs last week. Tommy was so full of himself. Telling Diamond, it's all about him and Jenard to pour Che another drink. So disrespectful. Diamond and Jenard should have ordered everyone at the bar to beat his ass after Che left. Kate doesn't hold back: "You are fucking the nurse?". Then she tries to warn Mireya to stay away from Tommy and Mireya refuses to listen like she knows Tommy SO well. When Kate was laying on the ground over dosed, what was JP doing upstairs all that time? Jenard got his Lambo back. At least the Serb treated it with respect and kept it nice and clean. Vic should have packed his bags and left the city as soon as he left Claudia at the mansion and passed the recording to the Feds. Why is Vic entering the name "Stacy" in his phone? Tommy made Vic wait for hours. He could have addressed Vic directly about flipping on the Feds but instead he went drinking. Why did the Travel agency write "Te amo/I love you" on the envelope? Getting a little personal with your customer??!!! JP can't buy a flat screen TV for the house? How is that rabbit ears TV still working? JP is a hypocrite. Last season, he was begging Tommy to get in the drug game. Now he doesn't want anything to do with Tommy as Kate OD on drugs. When his money dries out, he'll be running back to Tommy. Marshall gave Dmac the gun to "calm his ass down" like a parent giving a crying child a pacifier. Then Marshall tells Dmac the Mad Dog story, he "can't be Killed" and Dmac leaves with the gun. Did Marshall really expect Dmac to understand the ramifications? Marshall did all that just to get his Dmac out his apartment, so he can get some sleep. Marshall is an idiot! Then Dmac is easily recognized on the street after shooting Mad Dog. This will backfire on Diamond. Please have DMac ended next season. Was Tommy really going to go to Barcelona? Tommy doesn't take vacations (maybe a day trip to the zoo) and wouldn't trust anyone in CBI running daily operations. Maybe Tommy sent the pic of him and Mireya to Miguel first just to get out of going on the trip before Shanti and Jenard sent their pic!!! Mireya learned a valuable lesson in the Power Universe, if you make "happy" plans, it never works out. I am not buying Miguel would kill his sister. What was the last important play Tommy had for Shanti? It must have been an awful plan that required Shanti to up the time to send Miguel the pic so Tommy can go away. Claudia: "My family has half the cops on their payroll!" Difranco: "Yeah! Not this half!" A good season but Tommy's plot armor was on extra thick the entire time!

He is behind Claudia on my Most Annoying Character list. He can go! Not dying, but I can see her getting set up to go to jail by Tommy or Jenard. The Parole Board were so inspired by Diamond's speech and Ghost Reeves appeared to tell them to get it done.

I see. I'll exclude them. It's just Uncle Weston and Brayden. The father, mother and sister are clean. Becky's only purpose to be in the game seems to be she in love with Claudia and wants to be on her good side. She needs more of a back story to explain her motivations. She just seems to be a lame character to fill in a void for money purposes after the father was eliminated. Yes. Tommy can use him to set up Miguel or Che or Shanti to get Stacy off his tail. Vic will tell him there is a bug in his place to try to get back in Tommy's good graces. They can put fake info on the record. Miguel told her to come over and give him a kiss. What brother acts that way to his sister?

Also, that warning could have been interpreted: Diamond was going to be killed soon by Jamal or by a hired hitter. Diamond never considered an upset Gianna or a rival crew talked? The show has now given "The Punisher" Tommy Egan "Spidey Senses". You're right. It was the roof. No way Tommy let her wait in his place with Mireya there. She stayed on the roof and maybe Tommy was gracious enough to give her a blanket to stay warm. It's not illegal! "By some books...." Good One! LOL! I had to look back. Difranco said "Ethical". Take that shit home!!!!! You know the poor cleaning person is going touch that spot and get their fingers on something unpleasant. Stacy doesn't do her homework. She took blind faith hoping Mireya would be upset and snitch. Holly should be in the Fed's records when they brought her in for questioning about Tommy. I wouldn't be surprised if she gets fired by the end of her time on the show. Yeah. Once they brought up "Nunez", "Car", it was over for her. Abuelita said she was going to teach Mireya. The recipe is gone! Mireya will have to learn a lesser version from YouTube. The guy that told grandma: Nunez never showed up, must have told Miguel the same afterwards. Plus, at the Quinceanera, grandma told Miguel he disrespected Nunez and to watch out for him. If Mireya can easily suspect Nunez, then the big time crime boss Miguel should have been 10 steps ahead of her and thought the same. Nope! He was caught by surprise when Tommy dragged him in only wearing his briefs. Miguel is Trash!!!!!!!!! The only well-off family that seemed not dirty I can think of was that brief introduction to Cooper Saxe's Family. The Westons, St. Patricks, Flynns, Tejadas, Castillos, Thomas, etc... all no good. That man never heard of the words "incognito", "sneaky", "stealth", "Enterprise Rental Car"? He got what he deserved! Miguel never gave him a chance tell his side of the story. I think he will survive. With Vic, it seems they are leading to his demise next week, but the show is trying to not be predictable. I can see something come up and Tommy will spare him. If King Kilo is going to be a big character next season, I can see Mad Dog being killed to spark a conflict with Diamond.

Reeves is killed at night, all that blood spilled on the floor and mirror, Tommy and Diamond got it all clean up efficiently and the body buried at CBI cemetery (probably next to Bennigan) just in time for breakfast. Well done! New parole officer arrives a few days later day with four cops and couldn't find any blood. They went downstairs and didn't even stumble on any drugs. How convenient! Diamond got approved for early release as his Parole Officer is missing?? Huh! Who vouched for him? Why approve him so fast and not wait for any suspicion cleared on Diamond about Reeves' disappearance?!! What proof did Diamond have that Jamal told Reeves about him? It wasn't an official statement. He told Reeves in the parking lot. Or was Diamond just guessing after Jamal told him "it's his last goodbye"? Now Gianna is all alone now. She will have to sense Diamond killed him. Is she OK with it and not go to the police?! Poor Bennigan. No one is looking for his corrupt ass. Roberto Ortega (Marquez Cartel) is "enchanted" with Claudia. Poor guy has no taste. Stacy and Vic always meet at FBI HQ and now decide to meet at night on the street in her SUV while she sips her coffee. Of course, Tommy just happens to know the right time and where their meet is located to know Vic is the snitch. How convenient! For a moment, I thought Tommy was going to drive by and shoot Stacy and Vic. Tommy took Jenny Su's car but I'm sure he would never let her drive his car. Jenny most likely sat on the bench for hours waiting for Tommy to return in view of his car. Difranco is talking about "legal and by the book" but he can bend the rules to bang Stacy in her office. Fools couldn't be decent and at least close the door. The FBI admits Tommy's loft is a "fortress" and it's hard to infiltrate his place. They are so inept. Tommy has all this Best Buy surveillance equipment; doesn't seem he checks it often and still lets anyone show up, walk in at any time and doesn't check for bugs. Stacy telling Mireya about Lakeisha was for nothing. Mireya never asked Tommy how she died or if he killed her. Tommy got in her pants a few minutes later and now Mireya is trying to make contingency plans for them to move to Barcelona. Nice try Stacy!!!! Tommy told Mireya to stay at his place for a few days, don't go anywhere. She doesn't have a job at the hospital. See ya Abuelita! She didn't have any sense "trouble" was coming when the guy told her Nunez is not there to drive, and she was the one to warn Miguel: Nunez is a disgruntled employee and to watch out for him. Abuelita was slipping! How did Miguel not immediately suspect Nunez to be the one? He told grandma "Nunez brought his car back". Miguel is a sorry crime boss. Enjoy that last "Menudo" grandma made Miguel. Slow bites and sips. Nunez is not a smart man or real ballsy to park his car right in front of the Serb's restaurant in broad daylight as if word will never get back to Miguel. I am assuming Nunez went to the restaurant to warn Mirkovic of the upcoming attack at 7 pm. before Tommy took him. Couldn't Nunez have called or texted him with this valuable intel earlier and Mirkovic plan a surprise ambush on Miguel? Nope! Nunez had to go in person so he can try and get free food!!!! Miguel trying turn Diamond away from Tommy. That will not happen. Don't call Elise "Becky". Well! Excuse me! Who is her mother to have many friends just give her all that cash?? Shanti is dying to knock her out! Elise has been in love with Claudia since the 7th grade. What the hell do people see in her? Kate doesn't know to put the empty bottles in the recycle bin? She must really be distraught over DMac! SMH! I was hoping JP would give her a lecture on trash separation, but he just gave her the "boring" talk about accepting her amends and the truth about DMac. DMac got his ass kicked at the academy, got one lucky hit in and ran away. Leon could have learned from this strategy. Good job by Dmac to turn the blame on JP to make him feel guilty. Did he forget he killed a cop??!!! Tommy takes quick pisses. Vic thought he had more time planting that bug. Respect to Miguel for punctuality. 7 P.M. is the hit and they arrive for shooting not a minute before or a minute after! But he doesn't get good marks for tactics. He didn't study the layout of the restaurant or have any men to cover the back door in case Mirkovic escaped. Lost your one chance Miguel. Sloppy work! Che is noticing!!!! Will Tommy ever learn when is the appropriate time to talk to Che about business? Mad Dog is not affiliated to any gang but can't be touched because he is the nephew of King Kilo? Since when does that stop Diamond??!!! King Kilo wouldn't have to know Diamond or Jenard did it. Could be some random person. I am not sure Vic will be killed next week. I can see Claudia/Elise or JP or Mirkovic going.

I think that was the tracker Stacy wanted Vic to put on Tommy's car. I looked it up: "The Viagra Triangle in Chicago is an area located between Ohio Street, State Street, and Rush Street. It is known for its high-end bars, restaurants, and shops, as well as its nightlife and social atmosphere." https://www.roadtopic.com/why-do-they-call-it-the-viagra-triangle-chicago/
