Episode was weird! Liliana is so down for the cause, she will just go to the club, put Dahlia on her lips and kiss strangers. Still don't understand why Dahlia doesn't affect the person when placed on their lips. Last week was a big deal for Vic to have Gloria at the Flynn's for dinner and we never got to see what happened or a follow up this episode! Did she go? Did Walter eat alone in his room? Was it drama free? What was on the menu? Gloria just leaves town, left a note and not answer her phone!! I hope Walter didn't make her "disappear" and it will be revealed she was dead all along. Good to know learning a new word "courier" gets them excited! DMac saw Tommy with JP but he doesn't know they are all related. So why is he warning Tommy? Was it odd the first person Tommy mentioned to DMac was Diamond? He should have immediately said Jenard and no one else. What happened to Jenard's promise: Tommy is getting smoked tonight? I guess Dahlia can make a person change their agenda quickly. And in no time DMac is kicked out of the group! Gee! I wonder who he will turn to next!!! Tommy gave Claudia a "street education" but he seemed to be way too aggressive expanding the product but understandable with the price/clientele. I liked how he explained to Liliana how he never wanted to change like the others. But now that he is in charge, he may see their perspective down the line. It would have been funny if Richard the boss was the Chemist's date. The look on Liliana's face was funny when she was told to be the third wheel on the date. It was so stupid that scene to have Lilianna sit at the table pretending to be a cousin. I thought she was going to sit at the next table and observe. It is the third date, so did Lilianna sit in the bedroom and watch them have sex too? They could have had the chemist just postpone. Liliana couldn't be a generous kidnapper, go the chemist's house and get one of her dresses for the date? They didn't switch outfits as Liliana had something new to wear on the date. Confusing! I bet they made the guy pay for all three! Poor Claudia couldn't brag to over protective daddy she already has two bodies on her resume. Claudia was curious about whether Tommy and Liliana ever got together. Was that for business reasons or she wants a piece of Tommy? If Claudia is so smart, why is she bringing all these people to her apartment to conduct business? Instead of staying home to feel sad and depressed, Vic goes to the club alone to drink liquor and stare at a picture on his phone of Gloria! At first, I thought Claudia sent the girl to get his attention off of Gloria but it was just to introduce him to Dahlia. I was expecting Jenard to prove how legit Dahlia is, put the drug on his lips and kiss Diamond or the others in the barbershop! "Yo! I'm telling you how good this is, I'm willing to kiss a n*gga". If Dahlia is so good and potent, why is Jenard giving his only supply to Diamond to hold. Usually, a fiend gets real possessive! Good to know Dahlia makes a man last long for hours!! Tommy just drops two bodyguards. What happens when Walter tries to call them! Wouldn't he think the Serbs took them out and will lead him to put a tighter grip on Claudia? Did Claudia bury the bodies in the woods all by herself? Soon there will be no more space there for bodies they keep bringing. Good grief! The dealer from Gary looked silly and weak. No mystery with him. We already know he got a glass eye from a slip, got knocked out in basic training after he put out the tale he got injured in combat. I didn't get why the diner owner refused Tommy. I doubt JP stayed at the club much longer after Tommy left. Seriously! Adrienne is a reporter looking to do an expose on Diamond!!? Most credible journalists would just walk to him and ask to do a story instead of hoping in bed in 5 minutes playing a con. The setup to this plot is terrible. And why did the writers need to give suspense if she was going to stab him? How does this chemist not know she will be dead once Liliana learns how to make it? She is taking notes for a reason fool! The chemist should have refused to partake in and waited to see what happened. And if she really wanted to escape, she should have poisoned them, watched them drop, grabbed her purse and leave. Also, shame on Tommy and others for not being cautious thinking that. That scene of them taking a hit at the same time of the low level Dahlia, a part of me was hoping all four dropped dead from a bad mix!!!

From the opening, I daydreamed the 3 people in front of the Chairman were NBC executives and lost their fingers for renewing for a season 10. Anyway, that's what those 3 fools get for not reading the fine print of the agreement and thought they could get away misappropriating $78 million. I guess the Chairman is generous for taking fingers, while the clients wanted them dead?! Could Red and the writers start worrying about the viewer's "peace and tranquility" and stop bringing up Liz?! Now that they found the tracker, this should be the last her name is brought up! I can only hope! Now the mystery takes us to the "magical tracker" where they need to find the maker (that should take up 2 or 3 episodes)! Did they slip the tracker in Liz's oatmeal? Lew has been popping up too many times. He has to be suspect or he's going to be killed soon! These Albanian gangsters just leave "room service" Aram alone in the suite to roam. Of course! Aram, couldn't have an agent retrieve the bug after the arrest had been made. What a great bug the FBI created that flashes a blinking red light! Sure limits the places to hide it. The two Gaming Agents are very fortunate Dembe was around to execute that unbelievable single shot from far away. If it were just Ressler or Park sent to protect them, they were for certain doom. Also, those agents need their eyes checked for not seeing the sniper right in front of them. Did Cooper and Red short talk make Red a believer as he said "hello" to Liz's grave? The Night Market with their wealth couldn't find a hotel conference room to meet their clients and had to talk in a dark basement? At least, the useless Conglomerate got a nice spacious conference room to meet Park. The people on zoom, seeing the FBI bust the meeting must be shaking in their seats thinking the FBI will pay them a visit (but it's Cooper's team. So they are safe). After being arrested, the Chairman thought Abazi did talk to the FBI. So his arrogance made him hold a meeting in a location Abazi would know (Couldn't find a new spot Abazi doesn't know). And this fool never considered: Red left the meeting early and could have tipped the address. The Chairman should lose four fingers for that! And get a middle finger from me! And with a few Virtue Signaling words, the writers attempt to turn the villainous Chairman into a sympathetic hero for the people. Didn't work on me. As usual, Red has duped Cooper to do his bidding. Soon expressionless Weecha is going to breakout in laughter to Red and say "you got that clown again"! MIT Andrew Kennison just accepts Cooper's story and goes with him? Way too easy if this was a real kidnapping! Ressler is still buying drugs! Wonderful! And now an unexpected Ressler intervention. Not even Aram's sad story of losing millions could cheer him up/laugh and look on the bright side! I wonder if Ressler woke up covered on vomit before or after reading the scripts to each episode?!! So they found Mimi the doll. That's one down! There is a loyal poster here looking for some dogs and cats for some time, can Red/Cooper help find them!!!!!!!??!!!!!

I thought so. We should have been calling him "Sloppy Joe" Cruz after that.

And now the new guy Mason is taking a liking to Seager. Good grief! The 51 romance carousel keeps spinning! Now CFD can't staff displaced OFI and Seager has to work from her car. This show makes CFD look so inept just to squeeze in Seager for our viewing displeasure. When we first saw a person hanging form the window, it was adult stuntman. Then it cut to little Javi hanging there. I was like WTF. Should Cruz have sustained some injuries catching Javi? He is lucky a player from the Chicago Bears didn't fall. Surprised the lady didn't catch grief for leaving the boys alone in the apartment. Also, the indoor latch was on (that Gallo had to kick the door down), how was she going to get back in? I am not sure who had more joy with their new addition: Cruz with Javi or Stella with Mason. One of the employees thought the cucumber water was the cause of the problem. Shouldn't the nitrogen have affected everyone else in the vicinity? Massive lawsuit is coming! I can see this being a recycled storyline of Cruz and Chole losing Javi to a relative like Casey and Dawson lost the boy they wanted to adopt to his father.

A misstep if the parent(s) thought to name after J.P. Morgan. This J.P. is not handling his finances well. I know this show is not much about positivity but it could have been a nice moment for Tommy to talk J.P. out of wanting to sell drugs and give him an inspirational story/bend the truth a little about how Ghost built "Truth" into a thriving club and encourage him to do more for his bar to make more money.

The reactions from the people taking the hit of Dahlia was funny. So far, only hardcore Tommy was knocked on his ass.

I see. More for Caludia's sake than Tommy. Tommy wouldn't care if they knew it came from him. The ID badges at the convention center confused me. I didn't see Soto and Moishe wearing any when the picked up their packages. Earlier we saw Tommy and all the background characters wearing badges. Must have been a quick crypto conference! I guess people can just walk in and not show ID or sign in at times. And Dante the ex-army "whatever" snitch with a huge arsenal of weapons gets taken out quickly. The police only show up when the plot calls 911 for them to appear. The first episode, we see all these cops driving around the "hot" city and told they are cracking down on crime. Since then, there's a brief appearance of them chasing the Yardies (still don't know if they caught them) and the one cop asking for Crypto tips. Now they are all on vacation or at the convention center. I can see Jenard as the one who came up with the idea to get Tommy out, as he hates him and will find any reason. I guess after the failed drive by, this was plan B??!!!!!! Vic is young and doesn't really know what he wants. He will just follow along. But Diamond. He was down with whatever Tommy proposed and now he wants him out. Very odd he agreed to this. At times my Closed Caption puts the names of who is talking. Bless the person who created this function! I would be lost with some names.

Yes. Claudia. I keep getting the names mixed up!

Me too. Now he confesses to dealing when he was younger. Wonder he got in that situation with his father always around him. So JP hired custody lawyers and private investigators a long time ago and still haven't paid those bills? And they didn't come through as he lost the case and doesn't even recognize his son standing in front of him! Another kill for Gloria Claudia. She's on a roll. And there's Tommy again to help her bury a body. He should start charging her! Tommy quickly gets there to move Reggie before the police arrives. Funny the show easily leaving out the Chicago PD from the plot! They can easily connect the dead Serbs to the dead bodies (Simon and Elijah) from Flynns and CBI and start an investigation. Did Tommy call Tariq about using the building lockers. What's the point of delivering the the building. Tommy can bring the drugs to Soto and Moishe the same way he did in the first episode. That plan seems easy fail if the police put one of the buyers on their radar. Liliana always like to approach people with sarcasm and rudeness!!!!! The show already established there's no police around, the lazy Serb could have gotten out of the SUV and shoot Vic and Gloria instead of filling the car with holes. More Serbs dropping. This show tells us they are dangerous/not to mess with but always show them easily getting taken out. I would be funny if Walter killed the wrong guys. What was waitress thinking just standing there?! Run after the first shot fool! Afterward, she probably grabbed the dead Serb's credit card to pay the bill and give herself a fat tip and forgot to tell Mirkovic Walter killed them. Does Walter have enough soldiers to go to war with the Serbs? Jenard, Vic, and Diamond voted to buy Tommy out after one encounter with the Serbs. The show is not portraying these established Chicago gangsters as tough minded in this situation. Goodness! Diamond beat Tommy's record to get in bed with a woman. Tommy got with Gloria quickly after their first meet and Diamond got with Adrienne in no time. Unreal! I guessing Adrienne is working with the Seamus to setup Diamond? And why didn't Rick tell her to not sit in his booth from the start? Adrienne's phone buzzes and she opens to an old article of Diamond. What!? She came of like a Bond Villian. I guess to her: Diamonds are Not Forever!!!!! I am not feeling the jacket Tommy was wearing. Didn't like the design. Plus he should have had a tie to go with it. These 2 FBI agents are embarrassing! They raid Walter and left the office looking stupid after Caludia gives them some invoices. Then they stop Paulie and are left standing breathing in his car exhaust with nothing accomplished. And they still haven't caught on to Tommy. A demotion or firing should be in their future! Diamond has a soft spot for White boys. Huh!? Did he have a soft spot for the cop that had a gun on him? Look at Diamond and Jenard working together now that Tommy is gone. I wonder what happened to the senior CBI members that took over after Diamond was sent to prison. Was Dmac following Tommy on his bicycle? I wonder how he find out Tommy is his uncle. Tommy thought the monorail from Disney travelled to Europe! I don't feel sorry for the chemist. She showed off to a greedy person and it spread to other greedy people and now she's stuck in this mess! What the hell job did Mai the orphan have to buy a clean lab almost fully stocked supplies and computers for Tommy and Gloria to take over!? This one of many convenient happenings in the Power universe!

So far he is a waste. With a name Seamus Bennigan, he has sister named Kiki Watkins. Something is weird in that family. I wonder if he could related to the Flynns. And if he is so pissed for his sister's condition, he should have tried to pop Diamond the day he walked out of prison. I can't see Tommy figuring it out. JP will need to run in to D-Mac and his mother together to know. I can see her being a cousin. There are probably some more VHS tapes in the attic for JP to find showing Kate with the Flynns. Then He will tell Tommy and will piece it all together. He didn't care if Liliana was in the way. He may like her but his rage for Tommy is greater. With Power's history, they will have Diamond kill his brother. I am starting to like Tommy and Liliana as a team. I don't care if it will or will not lead to romance. I just like how they really concerned about one another and will put it on the line.

Episode was filled with a lot of dumbness! I hope Claudia got Tommy's cell number, so she doesn't have to keep pulling him over on the streets just to talk. There was no Chicago PD to pick up Tommy as he was lying there on the top of his hood? Once again, Tommy is fortunate to not get caught. The product knocked Tommy on his ass when he was kissed. For Liliana, she's not knocked out but gets dumb to forget her promise to stay indoors, just strolls out the apartment and gets easily picked up by the Serbs. Did she go out and yell: "Hey Serbs!!! I'm here!! Come get me! I have a finger for you to break"? So why didn't Claudia get a contact high when she kissed Tommy? Now Liliana has the special set of skills to find out what in the drug. The Serbs travel in packs of 6? Did Tatiana forget their rule when she rolled with 2 to see Tommy?! So Diamond went to prison for selling? Is 15 years a long time for that? If Seamus was going to be so tough/bold to get Diamond in his unmarked car, don't get immediately weak/butt hurt and tell Diamond to leave after the very moment he gets under your skin. Still not much on Diamond, just following Tommy. So how was Mai moving the drugs before she came to Claudia? The back story seems odd as her and the chemist deal was done (for it seems a while). Then Mai had Bobito bringing supply from where? Who does Bobito report to that the shipment was stolen? Bobito better leave town. Dumb Mai didn't think she was expendable after she got Caludia involved. At least, she got a good back hand slap on Claudia before her demise! How long will Claudia have Mai's body lie there and then find a good carpet cleaner? Can Jenard go one minute without complaining and bragging??!!! Wow! Finally see Diamond cutting some hair in his shop. Why would that dumb Serb henchman pop off about Tatiana to Mirkovic? Deserved what he got! Paulie takes good pictures. Nice endorsement for that camera. I wouldn't mind getting kicked out, if I'm going to get paid for it. I would take the plate of food and beverage with me when I leave. Of course, bring it back in a half hour. We see Gloria really wants is Vic. I am getting the feeling she will not survive the season. Claudia doesn't know her father is sick physically?!! At least, she has to know he is sick mentally! Now Claudia wants Gloria away. I thought that was going to end when Walter died. So Claudia will carry this on with Vic! So has these dumb Feds ID Tommy yet? No mention of him as their main target is the Flynns. Tommy was in school in Chicago? JP has good eyesight. That could have been some other kid. Maybe this will lead to Kate's return for some questioning from Tommy and JP. Stupid Sy and Vic thinking it was so easy. Showed their arrogance and immaturity. Then boom! Down goes Sy. The two Serbs on the high up, how did they miss? Then the one dumb Serb waste his only opportunity/bullet to kill his friend from talking to Tommy but could have just shot Tommy if his aim was a little higher. Mirkovic could have easily eliminated Tommy and Liliana but just ran off after the drive by. Made no sense! And now they know where Tommy lives?! Time to move. But Tommy will stay!!! His plot armor will protect him! Serbs looked real dumb this episode. They badly need a win! Now Elijah is gone, Jenard has now started his path to his end. Now we see how JP's son gets involved. I guess Jenard will give him the task to kill Tommy. Good luck with that kid!

Park considered Liz a friend? Huh?! Didn't she try to beat the shit out of Liz on two occasions?? After all these years, the hypocrite Cooper has finally raised his voice in disgust to one of his subordinates!!! He should take his advice and turn himself in or just resign! Dembe had to ask Red are there more important cases than finding who killed Liz? Dembe needed to direct that question to the writers! During Park's 2 year gap she became an assassin, tells Cooper and Co. and all they did was chuckle. She should have shot Aram to prove her claim. Did the man Park beat with a bottle of Grand Cuvee press charges? From that flash back it didn't seem any assault was coming. The poor guy was probably working up the nerve to ask the lady to dance and Park made sure he had a night to remember! Park runs into instant trouble with the Burmese group and Richter is there in no time to save her ass! Didn't seem the subterfuge of Park being a maid was necessary if Richter could easily make his way to the room. When Park was in that big room in front of the 3, I thought she was going to perform the routine from Flash Dance to impress them. These assassins couldn't come up with a sexier name? The Conglomerate! Yeah, that sounds menacing! The sorry ass Conglomerate is supposed to be so "special", they got taken down by a TAC team led by Ressler. Let that sink in! The Conglomerate couldn't design better looking busines cards!? To raise funds, the greedy Conglomerate ran a Pyramid scheme. Park didn't go to Tangier for an operation because she fell for weak game from Peter and hasn't been seen since now. How did this so so great organization just easily let their money source go and not send an assassin after her or someone to get answers. Congolmerate needs an HR department. Cooper had brandy in hand ready to celebrate and Ressler spoiled his moment telling him the job was not done. He most likely guzzled it anyway! Can't keep the man down, as he had a glass in hand when Red stopped by his house. A Camel! The goat has been replaced! How did Peter not pick up the signs Park and Richter use to bang? Isn't Red supposed to be in hiding living in the Silver Bullet in the woods? Seems everyone knows where to find him! Every time Park was shown in the restaurant, it didn't seem she ordered anything. They would like to ask her to leave but they know she'll beat them to death using a straw. Also, who goes to a restaurant bringing their luggage? So this is the first time Peter has seen Park's rage? Not even in the bedroom all these years? I give her credit for holding in the "beast" for so long. Now Peter is upset for what he has seen from her. Count your blessings you are alive! I hope Megan Boone is still getting paid for use of her face! The show should be embarrassed they have to keep using it. Now they need to exhume Liz's body!!? When Aram is digging up Liz body, I hope he is thinking of the $4 million he turned down. Maybe Red will order Cooper to dig.

Baffling was Herrmann and Mouch leaving their bar before close, left Spiro there (all by himself?), not knowing he had trouble with the cash register or unaware he was holding 4 grand all that time but assumed the patrons didn't pay. I feel sorry for the citizens in the area 72 covers. How did these guys make it through the academy? And no one from 51 complained about them was even more confusing. Why couldn't the other fire fighters who were "forced" to wait get a replacement fire engine? Stella is the worse! I didn't think they could make a character as annoying as Gabby. I was proven wrong!

Going by the "always trustworthy" Power Wiki, they state Diamond's birth year is 1980. Jenard said he had passed on college to run CBI, so that would put him around 32-34. Yes. The show makes out Flynn and Diamond have this long history. Flynn was having fueds with kids.

Diamond should be around Tommy's age (38 - 43). Kanan was in high school in the early 90s and Ghost and Tommy are younger than him. Also, could the writers tell us what Diamond did to go to prison for 15 years? If the writers don't start revealing, I'm going to get the feel they just want an "instant mix" Ghost substitute for Tommy. We'll probably see Seamus' sister before any friend or family from Diamond.

I guess they bring back these old characters to get people to rewatch old episodes??!! I'm still not hooked yet. Diamond is different from others we have seen. He is a main character that doesn't have a circle (ex-lover/friends, etc.) that can bring out a good description of his makeup. It says something about him when the guard at the prison was nice enough to give him barber equipment when he left and there were the two guys at the diner said he was good boxer (but we've heard that already). Selfish Jenard doesn't give much about him and Papa Flynn/Paulie aren't going to provide anything positive. Hopefully soon, we'll be introduced to some people.

I didn't remember Tatiana made appearances on Power in Seasons 3 and 4. She was with Milan. Curious why they brought her back, just to kill her off so fast.

Now Tommy is 7 - 0 against the Serbs. That was a quick exit for Tatiana. I thought Tommy was going to spare her, then she had to bring up New York. I guess Mirkovic will be next to arrive (to be eliminated). Not sure why Tatiana would arrive to meet Tommy with just two men when we saw she had more. Tommy ends it with Gloria because business comes first, and he needs Vic's help so let's not complicate this further. Ok! Let's see how long he resists going back to her. What was Liliana thinking to not move from her home after she killed two Serbs? And she never knew they were Serbs at the time of their encounter? She just hid the drugs and thought all was well?! The Serbs has her picture now and she will probably still not pack up and leave. Liliana had a knife with her all that time? Serbs failed to check her for weapons. They deserved what happened to them. Liliana has been taking a beating so far. That kiss from Jenard probably hurt the worse. For a moment, I thought those two were going to get it on. Was that tiny amount of bills ....8 grand??? Jenard thought he could buy Liliana to kill Tommy. He just showed his hand. I wonder if Liliana will tell Tommy about his offer. Not sure why Liliana bother ask Tommy if he has food in his place. Making money is Tommy's sole purpose, buying food is not on his agenda. Not too long ago, Tommy and Liliana were trying to kill one another. Now they are protecting each other. I like Herman. Wished he had explained grandma's involvement in raising JP. Too bad Tommy didn't have a father figure like him and just had Kate. Herman to Tommy: "That wasn't an invitation for you to jump in. I'm on a roll." LOL! No JP! On a scale of 1 - 10, Tommy is not a solid 6 or a 7 with a curve. He is 15! If Tommy wasn't around, I wonder where Diamond would be with CBI now? Since he got out of prison, I have not seen anyone really loyal to him. I don't think Elijah called him out of concern. It must have been part of Jernard's plan to tip off the police. According to Elijah, the young ones had fathers and uncles working for Diamand back then and they would be loyalty to him but so far, I haven't seen anyone show it. I don't think Diamond told Jenard or Elijah the plan was to meet the Yardies. So when did they know Diamond, Vic and Tommy were going to be there? And I guess Walter knew Vic was there from the cop telling him?! Scene/plot was a little messy. Then we see the stupid Yardies are driving away in a pickup with rifles exposed like they were in the wild west. Once Diamond heard Serbs, he wanted no part of what Tommy is planning. I guess the Serbs were tough when Diamond went to prison. But these Serbs looked like complete fools this episode. Paulie shouldn't have given his druggie son any cash. The parents go out of their way to give him fresh clothes and food but is just enabling him to stay that way and not go to rehab. I don't think we've seen Liliana drive a car. She's in good shape to trail Claudia on foot or she knows her bus routes/schedule well. Dahlia the chemist went to great lengths to falsify records in order to make the drugs. Did she make it one time to impress Mai or check off this goal on her bucket list and didn't have the urge to make more?? Now she has to be forced/black mailed to cook for Claudia. Reggie the drug dealer just has a suitcase of cash ready to give Claudia at a moment's notice. So D Mac knows JP is his father but JP doesn't recognize his son. Curious why the plan was different this time and they had to get out of the car. I think the first three times, they just did a quick drive by. I like the neighbor yelling that she'll call the police. Most would stay hidden in their house and already dial 911.

Thanks. I never watched that show. I am going to check it out and "Endgame" as others have mentioned.

The girl don't have to worry about getting a job. She will get paid from the massive lawsuit for the false arrest. And give 10% to the Fire Cop (Surprised they waited this long to call him that). Why did the police arrest her without Severide's blessing? There was a moment I thought Severide left Cruz and the others waiting by the house for hours in the Rescue truck while he and Seager went on their investigation.

Good grief! Now it's back on Friday nights. Couldn't beat "Young Sheldon" or "Station 19" on Thursday? "The Seer" must have given special phones to the executives at NBC. I can't get a hold of anyone there to answer: Why the f*ck was this show renewed for a 10th season? I'd be pissed if my boss is walking around sipping wine while barking orders with a smile and staring at asses. Those guys seem way too chipper for that $hit! Marvin (the voice of reason) wisely tells Red to give up finding Liz's killers. It delays not only Red's healing but the viewer's too. Enough! Be gone with her! Now Cooper's hands are tied to help release Heddie? The man has broken the law for lesser people before. Why must Cooper always initially say "No" to Red when he will eventually crumble to follow his criminal boss's requests? And as usual in the end (with Brandy in hand), Red has embarrassed him for the hundredth time. He never learns from his mistakes. More embarrassing was the FBI not being able to communicate properly in their ranks to not have other agents interfere in a big case. And after this debacle, Cooper still has a job! What was Park's contribution this episode? She spent her allotted time being Aram's useless pep talk figure or just standing next to Cooper pretending to look important. That was an abrupt ending! My Goodness! Red couldn't finish making tea (must have ran out of budget for this crucial scene or the ingredient in the tea is super-secret)! When the director yelled "CUT", he/she really meant it!

Thanks. I got those two mixed up. Me too. His friend didn't look upset losing $500 to Tommy. Was that part of the plan too? They must have planned to spark the fight another way but Tommy came along with the Flynn meeting and they went from there. Or maybe after the third punch from Diamond, Jenard must have thought of the Obi Wan line to Vader: "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine". Good luck with that Jenard! For his plan to work he will need to sabotage a lot of Diamond's decisions to make him look bad in front of the rank and file or maybe he wants a civil war (but that benefits no one). I understand @Joimiaroxeu point for Walter's reason but what is Diamond's reason? He put way too much faith in "unknowing" Tommy to set up this meeting. He knew there was bad blood 20 years ago, he just got out of prison, and he doesn't know if Flynn or Paulie (blaming him for his wife) were still holding a grudge. He accepted the invitation and could have walked into a deadly ambush. Also, there was no one from Flynn's side checking Diamond for any weapons when he entered. Some mobsters they are!
