I don't see it either. Maybe it's an inside joke. The role was offered to Fox first and he turned turned them down.

They played that setup card with Nique in Book 3 but these writers usually live by the code: "Streets need A ....Lorenzo's body!"

I don't remember the timeline but wasn't Tamekia fired before Keisha was killed by Tasha and some of the others in the pictures? I need to look back. I just don't know how she has those files and pictures. I remember Tariq giving her a dollar last season. It would have been nice to seen Davis and Tamekia interact a little about his case. I thought she just talked to Saxe due to familiarity from working together and out of concern for Tariq and Yaz. Tamekia must be real nice person to not ask Tariq for at least $250,000 for her services the same way Davis is always demanding him. After hearing his confession to killing his father, that should have been enough for her to know all about the him. But she has in mind Ghost is on the highest level of evil and made Tariq this way. Aren't these chats set up by invitation? I couldn't understand that no one saw "anonymous" or a name not recognized and didn't speak up asking who is this person. I guess we'll be told Carrie use to be MI6, trained James Bond and kept all her spy equipment as going away gifts. Your wish may come soon. By boxing in Monet, how does he expect this to end? He just thinks she'll pick him and Lorenzo will let her go without a fight? He has to be smarter than this. He needs to setup a well planned "accident" for Lorenzo.

And now add Diana to the shameful list of jumping on Tariq. Unreal with him. I did laugh when Tariq closed the door on Lauren. What exactly does Lauren know about Tariq to make her so important in all this? She didn't record anything incriminating and she doesn't know Tariq sells drugs or killed the 2. Give credit to Tariq for at least telling the truth in church. How does Tamekia still have those pictures of the dead? That's property of the DA office where she doesn't work anymore. Did they really expect 9 year old Yaz to remember the details of that day? I forget, is Tamekia Tariq's lawyer too to be allowed to sit in the room as they were questioning Yaz? I don't agree with Tamekia thinking Tariq is in his position now because of decisions made for him. Papa Weston is so dumb and arrogant to keep that picture for Tariq or anyone easily to see it in the first place. Brayden grabbed the book away from Tariq and not approve of using it as if he already knew the picture was there and the ramifactions but minutes before asked Tariq what is so important in this book to use. Scene was confusing. Just hide Weston's face when it's revealed to the public. Now there will be new riff between Tariq and Brayden when this is all revealed. And they just made up last episode. Dean Wong is so weak to let Rashad talk him out of his decision to keep Carrie away. And looked so stupid at the table when Carrie melted. Lorenzo and Dru were so careless to allow Kino to be able to grab his is gun and could have shot wildly to save his life. Why he didn't shoot at all is beyond me...... I guess cause the plot said so?! Wait! There is a Princeton game for Zeke to play?! The season is still going?! Zeke had a press confernce declaring for the NBA and will meet with an agent. This can't happen until after the season under NCAA rules. Zeke's season should be over once declared. The show can't have it both ways. Makes no sense. Is Zeke not allowed to practice on campus? He is always at the park. Weren't Frank and Evelyn once married, playing cops on Dexter? What's with that warning or threat to Lorenzo? Is she planning to make a move on him? Not sure if Tate was being real honest to Carrie or just laying ground work as a feeble attempt to lure her in bed?! Lorenzo said they could have opened a car wash if they wanted safety. I guess he didn't appreciate the decision of the Whites on Breaking Bad. Who is this new girl working for Mecca? Keep her away from Tariq (show might get those two in bed). How did the students not know Carrie was listening on the group chat? Carrie has a fake name to enter the chat? Should eavesdropping be the next lesson in her ethics discussion in class. I'll be surprised if Dru kills Everret and I can't see him shooting Cane or his father if they try to kill him. Maybe Dru might die. Not one punch was thrown in Dru and Cane's scuffle. Next time use pillows to hit each other. Dante (Rick Fox looking n***** ) must be setting up Lorenzo to be killed. It has to be the only way as he is trying to move closer to Monet. Not sure why he bother setting up a meet. Just send one of his people to take him out. Davis' "bone" reply to Carrie was funny. It was funny that the one girl complained about campus searches when she was the one who placed the drugs in Lauren's drawer.

Are we sure Tom Brady wasn't the ultimate villain behind all this? Man needs to cover his tracks. Careful Ressler, the proverbial "Light and the end of the tunnel" you are seeing might be the cancelation of this show. Maier has balls to abduct the reporter in broad daylight. Was he on his "super soldier serum" to drag her from the street all the way to her apartment with ease and not been noticed? That's Brotherley love from the people in Philadelphia. Park is trying to save a woman and this POS Ressler is only worried about his drug habit and stole a sheet from a perscpition pad (Also, why does the reporter have a prescription pad?). Ressler still found time in his supposedly busy day to write a fake prescription to get pills. That's the only time he can accomplished something. Ressler is really on drugs if Park's big eyes couldn't scare him straight. Ressler tells Park he got pills and she still doesn't tell Cooper (who most likely wouldn't do anything about it anyway) or any one in charge after her big "Responsiblity" speech to him. So much for her tough talk! Aram is afraid to "pee while biking"?! Didn't his romp with the psychotic cheating woman teach him anything about taking chances? Shouldn't the man that distracted Cooper in order for the bartender to drop the drug in his drink be a suspect too? Seemed too well coordinated for the drugging. Seeing the damage from stomach acid, next time Stella should hide the flash drive up her ass. Red's witch is not concerned for Red. She is embarrased she has to bunk in that in his tin can trailer and is tired of the other witches laughing at her living arrangement. She didn't tell Red where she's going because it's to a five star hotel. A witch has standards. I feel bad for the driver that picked her up. Now Red has to kill him for knowing his secret location. Burgos told Aram run and he does without hesitation. What a terrible agent. Another great decision from Cooper to put this man in the field. Now Red is laying a heavy guilt trip on Dembe for Liz's death. Some people (mostly here) would call him a hero, would proudly give him a ride and not kick him out the car in the middle of no where. Please tell me Ressler left the keys to the handcuffs in Detroit?! Why is Cooper pointing a gun to a dead man? Still wasn't convinced he was gone? Now the bartender is dead after Cooper found out he was involved. Cooper will still be oblivious to think his friend that gave him the footage is not involved in this. Ani Bolin looked so skinny. I am not convinced she was juicing!

Effie is working for an unknown boss. I can see her taking advantage using Tariq and Monet for her gain. Seem odd with these judges. Trial wouldn't begin that fast. It be a few weeks/months. TV magic. Tate has way too much power (the name of the show is not about him). Yeah. I guess they will be seen next episode plotting something. The man is completely clueless. It will be his undoing. Surprised no one questioned if he worked out a deal, came out of jail and be a snitch for the feds. I think the writers brought her on to just to say she is a sex addict and didn't have anything more in mind for her character development. And physically in Sullivan's bedroom. I think last episode Tariq mentioned Mecca to Monet.

I was surprised Effie showed up and then hoped in bed with him. They are always conveniently there when Tariq needs help. Tariq breaks up with Lauren but of course she will be trying to get back with him soon. Now Effie is there to make him realize to trust Brayden and advise he is not what Ghost thinks of him in the letter. The luck of this kid has with women is unreal! Tariq should be careful, Effie could decide to make deals directly with Monet and keep him out of it. My goodness! Monet loves asking: "You know who I am?" Is it normal in courts for Tariq to have one judge give him no bail and then another judge over rule to grant bail at 10%? I assumed Tariq would have one judge for the entire process. What the hell did Tate have on the judge to make him say the system is racist? That statement from the judge would draw many news headlines and the ire from his peers and police. Tate must have some serious pictures on him but can't find anything on Sweeney. It's odd that Tate is still relying on Tariq to find evidence on Sweeney even after Tariq was arrested. Didn't make sense for a person arrogant and self conscious as him to go to the prison to meet Tariq, as he wouldn't want any negative connection on his brand. He would just find another way to get at Sweeney and forget about Tariq. With Tariq being free, you would think an angry Kamal or Whitman would have him under surveillance or there would be some protest on campus from a lot of students/parents about having an alleged killer there. Tariq and Brayden are yelling as if the walls in the dorm aren't thin and other nosy students can't hear or record them. The DA should forget having Lauren testify and just subpoena the people on their floor. Not sure why Lorenzo would dismiss Monet's plan to follow Zeke's "supposed" NBA career as that could bring him a lot of money into the family. He should see the big picture and just insert himself in the plan. Could Monet act a little happy around the family as Lorenzo is back home. She acted so obvious she didn't want him back home. The sex was probably lousy too. Only Lorenzo was too stupid to not see it. Diana was wrong not making breakfast for Monet and only for Lorenzo. I don't think we've seen any time Dru went to the prison to see his father. Why is Lorenzo so sure Dru is ready to run the business and never seen him in action? At least Lorenzo knows Dru sexual orientation and is cool with it so that won't be a problem. Lil Guap may be the dumbest, wanted to get a picture with Lorenzo for his Instagram. Soon he'll mess up and get himself killed. Carrie was on straight bitch mode throughout the episode. Now I'm getting the feeling she will not survive this season. Her character is becoming expendable. Like every normal people, Brayden's father just keeps his ancient photo album from college lying around on the coffee table and not in the trash or hidden deep in a box in the attic. Saxe should find another firm to work for. After a while, he must be annoyed answering to and getting scolded from Davis. Wonder if Diana will see Monet meeting with Effie and interfere. That will be some meeting between Mecca and Lorenzo. Monet will soon have to know Dante is Mecca.

"Between Sleep and Awake" The most appropriate title ever created for an episode. I should have paid closer attention. Someone tried to warn us what will happen during viewing.

So this is how you open 2022? An unnecessary Ressler flashback! So Ressler watched Liz hold a gun to Red and didn't see Van Dyke behind her ready to shoot? And this jerk is blaming Red for her being killed??! He could have given Liz a courtesy warning! Maybe he was too gassed to scream after that long run from the hospital or dumbstruck unable to speak staring at her ass. Speaking of Van Dyke, where was his body after Red killed him in the retconned footage?! It just magically disappeared. As usual Ressler chases Red and it ends with him spectacularly crashing the car. Not even for Liz's honor he could get the job done. Not sure why Red bothered to order Dembe to lose him. That fool was not catching them. Dembe didn't need to run through STOP signs or go over the speed limit to avoid him. You're so wrong Cooper! Ressler has not worked hard while he was under your supervision. My goodness Vivian. Ressler gave you a $25 dollar tip and having your dealer beat him up and rob him is your gratitude. Consider definitely Ressler and "maybe" me unsubscribed from your YouTube channel and no likes will be given. C'mon Willie. Let Ressler clean some toilets for a few months before he touches any car. Don't promote him after the first day. The kid should have promised Ressler the cake had coke in it. He would have been at Saturday's party on Friday. At least wish the kid happy birthday before you slam the door on the him! As Ressler was crying at Liz's grave, a commercial abruptly came on (was it just me?). Even NBC wasn't impressed with his performance with the fake tears and spared the viewers. Was hoping a swift breeze came by and tipped over Liz's headstone on Ressler as he sat there lamenting. Who lied to that cop and had him believe Ressler was a decorated agent? To go with this gullible cop, add the local doctor trusting Ressler can be responsible to handle his oxy, Willie the mechanic who can't find good help and Vivian the disrespectful/druggie bartender.......that is one strange town! Ressler sure took his sweet time getting there as Lauren was fighting her ex. Was Ressler just standing outside the Cooper's house staring at Agnes like a creep? Too bad they didn't have a dog to chase him away. There should have been a grave next to Liz for Ressler's clipped hair.

I rewatched S2:E3 "The Greater Good". Mecca watched from his car (using binoculars) a meeting of Cane, Tariq and Brayden. That was the only time Mecca got a look of Tariq and Brayden. Maybe offscreen Meeca did his homework on Tariq and got pictures of him. Mecca wasn't present when Nuff had Tariq on camera to know Cane was lying. It was only Chef and Cane. Nuff was killed just for unneccessarily beating up a (supposedly innocent bystander) who could bring the NYPD to their door with a complaint. Two things Mecca could have done to confirm if Cane was telling the truth: 1. Look at the security video showing Tariq; 2. Look at Tariq's phone when Nuff put it on the table (Cane took the phone away after Nuff was killed).

Mecca knows about Cane and Tariq. It was Mecca's advice to Cane to use Braydon to undermine Tariq. With all the secrets and lies with Monet, Mecca and Cane, what does Mecca the outsider expect to accomplish with Zeke and the Tejada family (Before knowing Lorenzo was released). Does he think he will be accepted with open arms after all is revealed? I couldn't help but notice the height differential with Kamal and the detective. For their scenes, the camera has to be placed further back than usual for them to fit in.

It was Lauren's. He sent her a text to thank her lending it to him before he went to follow Cane.

Looked like the front to me too. Maybe the limo driver got the wrong instructions. Yes. Whitman is the only the one. Ha. Yes! Daddy I need $8,000 to buy some school books.

Detective Whitman is terrible. He was trying every way to not go after Tariq. Facts were not required for him. I was hoping to hear Omari's voice as the letter was read. Guess he wanted no part of this show. The letter should have started "Ha Ha FOOL!?.......?". Does Ghost have a letter for every occasion? Is there a letter for getting a speeding ticket or fashion tips? Is there a letter if Tariq is exonerated saying "I'm sorry for the first letter!"? Why wasn't Braydon brought in too when he and Tariq share the room? Shouldn't Tariq and Braydon be present when they are searching? Is this instant expulsion for Tariq and he lose the inheritance? I am amazed Lauren hasn't gone after or mentioned the 2 other girls. Zeke gets out and his first act is to dye his hair. The dye must have gone to his brain as he couldn't see Dru and Everett are together. I like Zeke, Davis and Monet all dressed up, arrive at the police station in a rented stretch limosuine as if they were going to a big red carpet event. If they were expecting press, there were none to greet them. The police frees Zeke, holds a press conference, but still are not convinced about him and could still bring him back in. Terrible job on their part. So other students were busted for drugs. Are they wearing new "watches" too or Kamal didn't have enough to pass around on the NYPD budget and just chose Lauren to have one? And Tariq and Braydon still don't know Lauren was caught as we find out her room is not far from their room. Nuff got snuffed. I felt bad that the food got wasted with his blood on it. At least Nuff got some good punches and kicks on Tariq. I was cheering loudly that scene. Good grief with the double crossing, mental gymnastics. Monet/Cane, Monet/Tariq, Diana/Tariq, Diana/Cane, etc. I need a big white board to track who is trying to play who. Kamal asked why "would Braydon Weston need to sell drugs?" Carrie just should have came out and told Tariq in class "you are going to jail" and slapped him for the finishing touch. She went the nice, safe route to write "KARMA" on the board. So how is Saxe going to mess this up as he kept staring at Whitman. Braydon found a good body mechanic to quickly get the bullets out/repairs. Monet doesn't know Dante's other name is Mecca? Monet has impressive skills/power to forcefully open the passenger car door from the driver's seat as Tariq walked by. I would love to see the looks on the judge's and grandma's faces after they found out Tariq was arrested. Also, could grandma's atrociuos lawyer say anything at the hearing? What was she paying her to do?! Yas thought she was out and now told to go back to her foster room. Her trust in Tariq has to have gone down. Maybe Ghost wrote a note and sent the lawyer to find Yas. The note read: "Don't trust your brother". Now that Lorenzo is out, I can see Monet not wanting to lose control of the business and teaming with Dante to take him out (maybe send the Chef to work his knife skills) or get him back in jail.

Now that's the open I like. Good for the gun to malfunction after hitting Rina and spare Jubal. I will hope this is the last of Rina on the show as she will not be able to return to duty. Isobel should have yanked Jubal out the interrogation room the moment she found out he was in there. She gave him a lot of leeway this episode. Nice of the other agents in the office to withhold juicy water cooler gossip about Jubal and Rina being together. Or maybe the agents are clueless to figure it out. If the ATF agent can easily fall for the phone trick by OA, he is most likely going to screw up his 2 year case. He did redeem himself a little with finding the hidden room. Why would Winters need to have Castlewood know/follow Rina's daily moves if the machine is set up in front of her house to just shoot her on instant recognition? There's only one path to go when she walks out her front door. At least the machine was nice enough to let Jubal and Rina finish their kiss but drew the line for her to not have a sip of her coffee. Could Ian be a little quicker telling Jubal and Isobel: they and others are target? He was more happy to tell them how it worked. Telling them they are the targets should have been the first words out his is mouth. Vargas watched too many Terminator movies and tried to go cheap with a facial recognition sniper machine, instead of a trusted, reliable sicario. The machine couldn't even finish the job on Maggie as it didn't see her face. Back to the drawing board fool. If Winters has five machines, why is he wasting one to put on the outside of the warehouse? How would he know those specific agents out of thousands would go there to chase him? Elise must be thinking: what a girl gotta do to get on Vargas' hit list?

The show's writers heard your plea and they are already hard at work connecting the dots. I found this in their writing room.

Monet has super speed to break the car window and hop in the back seat to put a gun to Carrie. Supposedly Carrie is smart but is easily lured to the woods to meet Zeke. Funny! Tariq is now walking into Davis office and giving them orders. Saxe is asking him questions, Tariq just ignores him and addresses Davis. Monet has a million dollars in cash in a safe at the bar and didn't think to move it when the workers are there to do construction on the bar. A million can fit in that small safe? Monet doesn't have another source to get the cash that she has to apply for a second mortgage. Poor guy get his ear cut off and killed because of Diana. Now who is going to finish the construction job? The guy playing Zeke comes off like a 9 year old child with his acting. He is too big to look this stupid. Why come out on the front porch to the moron reporter to look dumb anyway? Even if he makes it to the NBA, he will be "food" for the grown men in the league. Please don't play for the Knicks! The team sets up a gofundme and the huge amount of cash is quickly in Dru's hand by the end of the day? Ok! Who is Dante's and Monet's child? Cane or Zeke? Monet confronts Dante about getting the money for Zeke's case and he doesn't deny it, doesn't look surprised and acts like he was responsible. In the previous episode when the two girls were in Lauren's room, I thought one of them was her roommate. Now we find out she doesn't have a roommate. From that episode, Lauren just walked in her room, they were there using, when she left they were still there and put the drugs in her drawer. This episode, not one time Lauren could put 2x2 together to know she was setup by the talkative one (forgot her name) and to record them for the police. She is more concerned about making out with Tariq and watching the stupid interview. Makes no sense! Word never got back from the nosy students to Tariq that she was busted? Campus police is conducting dorm searches and of all the people to find drugs in the dorm, it is Lauren. The hundreds of real users on campus didn't get caught. Bullshit! Look at Carrie making promises to Lauren that the charges won't stick and her parents will never know. It's a matter of time now until she finds out about Tariq. Kamal Tate just shows up to be part of the investigation. There are no other qualified detectives in the NYPD? Could Effie not scream any louder in the store about the clone credit cards? Am I to believe Effie is genuinely concerned about Diana getting with Tariq? After she found out that Diana has never been with anyone, I am sure that sparked her desire to lure her to her bed. So only Zeke can go to school and Monet's 3 kids can't go to school? Huh! Sullivan brings all her files in a brief case to be conveniently seen by Saxe. I could have told them to not trust Jemelle Hill. Why would Davis agree for the interview to be live. Tape it and edit out the tough questions. If it was live, how did the show bleep Zeke's cursing that fast? Surprised Monet didn't stomp a hole in Hill at the studio. Simon and the people at Stansfield have no place to tell the NYPD what to do. Such arrogance coming from a shitty school. Braydon digs up a decomposed body and delayed all his vomiting until he got back to his dorm room after a long drive. Makes perfect sense! Braydon is on jewlery store video and his prints are on the door. Just because Cane shot out the cameras, he didn't destroy the machine for the police to see. Plus Braydon can described easily by the owner. Good luck to Braydon explaining to his parent about the bullet holes in his new car. Braydon was willing to murder the store owner. His downfall is epic! Will he take the fall for Ramirez's murder? It sure won't be Tariq or Cane. Must be burning Tate that he hasn't gotten Carrie in bed by now. Poor grandma with her alcohol problem, but even her drunk ass was right about Tariq being the evil that has fallen on the family. If Tariq wins, I can't see a show with Yaz here under his care. I can see him making an arrangement to get her to back to Tasha. Dru: Everett ask me anything. Everett: Does your family sells drugs? Dru: I can't trust you with that answer. Now that's out of the way, let's make out because the stupid script says so!!!!!!

Maybe he went back to Detroit to finish the oil change he started 2 months ago. Customer is patiently waiting to get their car back.

In the open, when Randall told the doctor "I've lost the will....... " I thought he was going to talk about watching this show after many seasons. Mary Parrot looked like certain curent Vice President. No secret service or security around to look out for snipers for a congressman? Cooper is complaining about the cop being on his tail, when he was the dumb ass to drive to the crime scene and park in front of the house to be seen by the cop and now be his suspect. All the angst he has now is all from his doing. All he had to do was watch the story of Doug's death on the local news like the rest of us innocent people. Nice to see Dr. Melfie changed her name and moved on to another mobster. Peter is upset he doesn't know Park. Oh my! What a surprise! Just how long were they together before they got married? Sounds like he proposed after the first date and had the ceremony the next day. They couldn't find anymore stereotypical looking mobsters. Personal day for Ressler. Nice. Please take more. Cooper states they are shorthanded yet there plenty of FBI personnel walking aimlessly in the background. Did Liz tell Agnes: "Red was the most important person in her life" before or after she stole his money and tried to kill him numerous times? Randall was way too confident in his bullshit outside intruder detection system that he didn't bother put one inside his house. He quickly fell for the old "here's my boot by the car door for you to shoot, while I go to the house, up the creaky stairs and sneak up behind you to put a gun to your head" trick. Works all the time. A big F.U. to the NBC writers. This season is supposed to be Liz free. The streak was ruined with two flashbacks of her. Booooooo!!!!!!!!!! Why is Lou sticking his neck out for Cooper? Might as well put a sign over Lou stating either "I am the real killer trying to frame Cooper" or "I am working for the killer". Note to self: never joke to Weecha about cutting off heads. She may do it. Park should not know the address of the safe house? What's her clearance level? Where's the government's in house secrecy for witness protection? Hasn't Dembe "betrayed" Red numerous times in the past and was forgiven? Now Red is beyond pissed that a note was passed to Agnes, she thinks he's Russian and he likes to hold hands. This petty atrocity is now the last straw. Dembe has saved his ass plenty of times. Hasn't that at least earned him a "get out of an assassination from Red" credit? Maybe Agnes didn't read the letter and could have pieced the information about Red from Cooper. I am sure he came home many times drunk after Red suckered and duped him, ran to the basement, to curse and rant to the walls about Red for Anges to eavesdrop. I don't know where the doctor found the strength to stay awake when Red was talking on the plane. I hope she told Red to put her on Gilligan's Island to never be found from anyone and him.

These lazy fools shoot Elliot, couldn't make sure the job was done/not dump him in the basement, leave the house, Elliot is still alive to have enough energy to crawl to the door, open it and make to the front steps to be found by nosy passerbys who remembered the blue car they drove because they were dumb enough make noise/speed away from the scene. Just enough to get the FBI on their tail. Hannah is so lucky to be caught in her house by OA and Maggie with a blow dryer and not some other risque mechanical device in hand. Would have been quite embarrassing. OA is slapping the cuffs on Hannah in her robe to drag her ass to 26 Fed and OA and Maggie looked so confused when she asked if she can get dressed. As if they have never heard that request before. How convenient Hannah and Scola have a connection with 9/11. Hannah got lured in quick with some thirst pics. Left her dazed and confused. Scola: "this isn't a TV show". Ha! The Jubal "Jam" joke was corny but funny. Shocker! No run this time in the park and it ended with a sniper taking the shot without the wasted drama of him asking Jubal/Isobel for clearance if he "should take the shot?". Although, it was reckless for Scola and Tiffany to engage the man in the park with innocent people around. Couldn't wait until he got to his car. OA (of all people) is the voice of reason to tell Scola "it's not worth your career". A bomb in the city is going to go off. When is it worth it OA? Nice of Felix to be gracious to leave 236 minutes on the bomb so Scola could drive to the Bronx or New Jersey to find his brother. This issue has to be raised at the next bomber's conference. If I am Pablo in the basement, I would have given myself a fighting chance to get away from Scola. Scola had one hand on the phone, Pablo could have made an attempt to flee instead of pleading over the phone. Good to know the FBI bomb squad is inept and quick to haul ass out the basement. If all else had failed, they could have used Rina's massive ego to cover the bomb blast. Crisis was averted and of course sneaky Rina took credit she gave Scola the OK. She went on like it pained her to tell her boss. If the bomb went off Rina would have made sure Scola and Isobel are fired. So Scola stayed away from his sister in law for 5 years to not help her raise the kids or any issues they might needed him? He stopped talking to them 15 years after 9/11?! I would have thought as time gone on, it would heal.

With this show, I can see this happening.
