S01.E03: Stick and Move

Still reeling from a shocking death, Kanan pushes his way into the drug game with Marvin's help while Raq plots to take down her competition.

It was funny watching Detective Howard running wearing that leather jacket, suit and in those shoes. 
The show is trying to tell me leukemia is the reason he was unable to catch Scrappy??!! Yeah right! He looked so out of shape!

Seeing the detective give chase to Scrappy tells he is not a cop on Nique's payroll?

Poor Symphony is slowly getting seduced by Raq. I feel soon, she'll rope him into her "other" business.

Surprised Raq and Symphony were so quiet that Kanan never knew they were getting it on the house until Kanan later bumped into Symphony on the computer.

Deen must run a tight operation. Seemed very risky for his right hand man to give the spot for that small package of cash. Also, Deen must have seen him and Raq talking.
What were the police waiting for when the guy was putting the money in the trunk?

So Kanan's motivation to make his first sale was for Davina. How sweet!

Jukebox should know better and not have her face exposed to be identified.

I can see Jessica messing with Crown to get Famous a deal, getting caught up in a situation with Marvin and Crown will be the casualty.

Interesting to see the interactions between Marvin/Kanan and Raq/Jukebox. Marvin to Kanan: "This ain't a tree house. Gimmie those keys". Raq to Jukebox: "My house is your house". But in the end, they are there for one another.

I don't think Raq knows Juke is into girls. 

Raq is a cold woman with D-Wiz's mom and Kanan.

Maybe I misinterpreted but Kanan was crying/ looking at Raq as if he sensed she was responsible for D-Wiz's death because she had no tears??!!

I'm impressed the Detective Burke didn't rip her pants and scrape her knee making the arrest.

The dog turning his head at Marvin and Toni was funny.

Poor lady could have won BINGO if she could hear!

...and he also has a really fat head.

I never thought I'd be so tired of hearing the words "Buck-20" ever before until now.

I can see that too.

I can imagine the interaction between me and my uncle if I ask him what is he doing in his daughter's room in his house. I imagine I'd get slapped across the head.

I don't think so either.

Raq is definitely a cold woman for that.

I didn't get the sense at all that Kanan knew or had a guess that Raq was responsible for D-Wiz's death. I took that scene at face value that he was watching this woman cry over her son and it sinking in that best friend isn't here anymore.

I am enjoying Patina Miller’s acting so much. She is so beautiful and does these subtle things with her face. 
 

I have a feeling Symphony is going to die by the end of the season.

I think Kanan knows (or suspects)- especially when his Mom told him that the target was off of his back. 
 

I feel this episode was kind of filling in some emotional beats after last week’s action. How nice of Kanan to buy Davina groceries. I wonder if Davina ends up being Shawn’s Mom.

Good episode.  I continue to enjoy this show.

One exciting development was the appearance of Joel de la Fuente as Detective Howard's police captain.  He was absolutely tremendous on The Man in the High Castle and will apparently be recurring on this show.  The Power universe continues to impress with their recurring and guest casting.

I think she may suspect. Raq is emotionally close to Juke, and I noticed she didnt use any pronouns or ask the name of the person. I think she may suspect but not want to say anything unless/until Juke says something to her first.

@mxc90; @Scarlett45

After rewatching, I think you might be right. I didn’t notice the intense look he gave to his mom at the end. He may have an idea that his mom had something to do with D-Wiz’s death.

Lawd have mercy, Symphony is a beautiful man. And smart too? 😘

Wonder how long it'll take for Det. Howard's bosses to figure out he's protecting Unique by going after Niq's competitors. Or he was. Guess now he's changing teams.

Heh, that dog Marvin gave cokehead Toni would eat a microwave.

Lawd have mercy, Symphony is putting in that work. He's like the Equalizer bunny.

Didn't know Paula Abdul was Jewish. This show is so educational for me! 😉

Raquel comforting the mother of the kid she had killed. Does Kanan realize how cold-blooded she is? Whatever, it's becoming more and more evident how he ended up the Kanan who would kill his own son.

Yeah, seems like it'd be easy for some undercover cops to nab her out in the open like that, especially if they were those 21 Jump Street types.

Oh, I got the impression she does know, and that she's like Juke's safe port in the storm that is her relationship with her father. That's probably why Jukebox told Raq not to say anything to Marvin. If Marvin doesn't already know Juke is gay he'll likely go nuts when he finds out.
