[Scarlett45]

 Tariq races against the clock for Yasmine; with pressure being placed on Monet, she struggles to wear the Tejada crown.

That “detective” is annoying. He’s not doing any detecting. He’s not detecting shit. He wanted Zeke to be the killer so bad that he refused to see or believe any other possibility.

The interaction between Cane, Brayden and Lauren made me chuckle.

Lastly, what a petty note to write to leave to your son after you die.

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.

I think Davis said something like they were going around back to avoid the press. I looked at the scene like “this is the back? This looks just as public as the front.”

The district attorney’s office was convinced that it wasn’t Zeke. The DA’s office held a press conference. The police, or rather just “Detective” Whitman isn’t convinced.

Rich people. Am I right? 😂

BY THE WAY, for a person who has such an immediate need to sell drugs because he has no money for an apartment… whose BMW is Tariq driving?

Looked like the front to me too. Maybe the limo driver got the wrong instructions.

Yes. Whitman is the only the one.

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

Agree, because he just pissed that Kari was sleeping with Zeke !  I don't like him at all. I hate Tarqui was arrested but  Karma is a bitch !

I also think Cain will face some consequences when Mecca finds out he knew Tariq after all.

Yea, apparently Monet does not know that Dante is the connect , but he knows that Cain is working for his mother Monet . This will be interesting when Monet finds out and I think Lorenzo will be the one to reveal who Cain's connect is.

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. 

[Joimiaroxeu]

Brayden straight up lying to Tariq about Cane coming around remains a bad move on his part. His loyalties are going to be tested eventually.

Does Mecca not realize he's asking Monet to prostitute herself? Not that she hasn't done it before but then it was on her own terms. This business with Mecca setting up trust funds for all her kids is next level.

Zeke is acting way hyper now that he doesn't have a murder charge hanging over his head. Is he on something?

Funny how Lorenzo didn't want Monet to know he was working with Cooper Saxe to get out of prison. Did he just want to surprise her or does he suspect her of something?

When did Tariq learn how to drive?

Dang, Cane got Mecca's guy killed with his lie about knowing Tariq. All that fresh seafood ruined. 😒

And just like that Tariq got a furnished apartment for free. So was Yasmine going to stay there by herself? Who'd take care of her while he was at school or running around criming?

So close. If only Monet knew Mecca is Dante. But she still got enlighted by Tariq on all the ways her spoiled brats are scheming behind her back.

Finally, it all comes crashing down for that little fcuker Tariq. With James taunting him from beyond the grave too, ha ha. Karma, indeed.

Looks like Monet is also facing big, messy trouble. It's gonna be Lorenzo vs. Mecca.

It doesn't seem to me that Mecca knows Tariq by sight though. If he does I don't know why he killed his guy after Cane said he didn't know who Tariq was on the security camera feed. Mecca would've known Cane was lying.

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).

Tariq DID murder Jabrari though- so his arrest for that murder doesn’t phase me. The letter from his dad was brutal, but so fitting. 
 

Poor Yaz.

I wasn’t surprised that Cane is Lorenzo Jr (I never thought Cane was his legal name). When he called Lauren “light skin” I wanted her to slap him across the face (figuratively)- she handled herself well though. That was just as offensive as “red bone”. Fuck off Cane. 

 Diana has more street sense than we were giving him credit for. She’s bright, but her mom has been holding her back from using it in a productive way. Emotions rule both of her brothers, but Diana can step back and think things out.

Lauren isn’t a dumb girl but she doesn’t know anything about this life. Stay far far away from Tariq Lauren. 
 

I feel badly for Zeke. He wasn’t involved in any of this and didn’t do anything wrong. Carrie wasn’t even his teacher (she was in the wrong for that not him). If Zeke dies in all of this that will break Monet. 
 

Lorenzo is back, things are going to get JUICY. Mary J’s acting has improved. Her face showed all of her fear in that final scene.
