S02.E07: Chicago Is Heating Up!

[AntFTW]

Quote

Tommy and Diamond continue gaining territory behind Miguel's back, but Diamond is pulled in other directions. Jenard gets more than he bargained for. Tommy puts Vic's loyalty to the test.

Air date: October 13, 2023

Does Tommy really believe everyone is or will be loyal to him and Diamond and he has no enemies?  Tommy wants to "build a train so big it can't be stopped". Tommy should know by now; it is never that easy. 

I guess Mireya didn't tell Miguel she has a new Audi. Miguel would have spotted it when he went to Tommy's place, caught her and attempt to kill Tommy. Miguel didn't smell Mireya's perfume when he entered Tommy's apartment.

It is known all around town to not mess with Mireya or Miguel will kill or maim you. Dr. Kendall didn't operate on any of Mireya's ex at the hospital to know this. Or is it just gang members who are off the "Don't date my sister list"?

Welcome back "Wil E Coyote Jenard", ready to kill Tommy until Mireya arrived.

Was Jenard back on the stuff? When he had his tongue out to the side, it seems like he made a recent purchase. I couldn't tell if there were any drugs on the car seat. Jenard was giddy like he was in High School with the pic of Tommy and Mireya. Surprised he didn't run to TMZ with it or uploaded to YouTube. He showed restraint and waited for Shanti to arrive. That's growth for Jenard.

Did Jenard use Shanti's necklace to buy drugs and robbed the dealer to get it back or was he just holding for a rainy day? Why bother take it?

How does the Serbs get away shooting up the Crimson Project and the police are not on their ass? Difranco or any other CPD can't have a word with them over the shooting? Not even a protest from local groups?

Not anyone of Chavo's men can see Vic push the record button on the chain? Some security Chavo has with him.

Vic took of the necklace and left it in his car before he shot Vargas. Odd! He should have had the necklace with him to pass to Vargas.

Difranco warned Stacy to not let any agent get really close to Tommy and now Vargas is dead. But Stacy had to insist Vic can't think he is in control and now look what happened.

Earlier, Vic told Vargas he was made by Tommy and Vargas just brushed off that message. Seems like serious intel. Vargas should have told Stacy, they could have changed cars or put a new person to follow Tommy. 

Shouldn't the Task Force get shut down by the DOJ now that Vargas was killed? 

Tommy has to suspect Vic is an informant. Tommy messed up, he should have just observed the two from a far and confronted Vic later. Not sure why Tommy chose this time and place to confront the agent and Vic with a gun when he knew they have been tailing him many times.

The FBI can't put a tracker on Tommy's car themselves? They know where he lives or drives around every day. The agent got prints from Tommy's car fast and could have done the same with a tracking device.

Two guys rob Claudia and Elise, had the audacity to stay at the club for a lap dance and (who didn't see that coming) gets beat up by Shanti. Shanti whips Raheem and knocks out a guy in the boxing ring. Could the show not be any more obvious to elevate the force/ruthlessness of Shanti beating up men. 

Ok Shanti! You are smarter than all of us. We'll see where your ass ends up at the end. At least, she was honest with Jenard on her moves with Claudia. She is loyal to him.

Where were the two Serb bodyguards assigned to Claudia to prevent the robbery?

Claudia just lets anyone in her apartment. If she is worried about Tommy coming after her, she isn't acting like it.

"Division Street Devils" doesn't sound like a name for a Puerto Rican gang.

Chavo. Good grief a few words from Tommy's charm, Tommy got a deal, and he got his rear window replaced. Tommy should have made him buy four new tires. Why would Chavo tell Tommy "Chicago has been waiting for someone like you for a long time". Don't gas up Tommy's ego any more than he needs. 

What options do the Serbs have now. They will have to try to kill all the competition.

No Kate again.

Diamond lying his ass off to the crowd. Sorry Leon, telling the truth is not going to work for his involvement in the drug game. But it got his mom in Diamond's bed.

Now we find out Gianna and Jamal haven't been a couple in a minute, that couldn't be mentioned last week? So that was just filler drama with Jamal and Diamond last week. If we don't see Jamal again, we will know.

Grandma knows Miguel is going to mess up with Tommy. She warned him.

Damn, that opening nany scene was so intense Tommy’s left arm was shaking like Elvis’ legs when he swiveled during Jailhouse Rock! 

Joseph Sikora’s blaccent takes me out, his ‘no they di’nt!’ had me kiking.

NOW I know who Mireya reminds me of….the hilarious Anne-Marie Johnson from Hollywood Shuffle/In the Heat of the Night. 

Okay, this is the second eppy that Shanti had me cowering.  She gave Raheem a quick two slap whilst threatening his life, she IS that bitch!  I’m waiting for her and Claudia to hook up before she hits the dust (c’mon, you know damned well that anyone who crosses Tommy will have Christmas cancelled on their ass!), she might even kill Elise at the rate she’s goin’.  Miguel’s abuelita ain’t no joke either, that’s two strong women in the Power verse giving me the willies.

Stacy’s getting on my nerves, I wish she had been the one that was killed by Vic instead of Vargas.

I can’t watch Diamond’s sex scenes anymore without smirking after poster’s previous comments about his big hips.

Forget the perfume, you'da thunk he would have smelled the freshly made sex!!

They're really putting Shanti in the foreground. I'm ready for her to go already.

So everyone just knows where Tommy lives? Miguel pops up for something that could've been a phone call. Jenard is right across the street.

Everybody can find Tommy's place except law enforcement 😂

They are laying it on pretty thick.

At this pace, the show will try to convince people Shanti can beat Tyson in his prime.

Give the agents a break. They are giving their best efforts. Tommy is so elusive to track with his Blue Mustang and traffic cams seems to malfunction everywhere Tommy's drives.

Shanti definitely does not stand for any insubordination from her crew members, lol.

What the heck is that tat on Vic's neck? I thought that had become a White nationalist symbol but no way would Vic still be alive after wearing it around a bunch of Black gangstas.

Stacy is getting too panicky. She needs to listen to her husband and calm down a bit about Tommy.

Bet the Serbs are going to put a bullet or twelve in Ché.

Guess those fools who robbed Claudia inside the strip club had a major attack of the stupids. Did they even know who she was?

I wanted to feel sorry for Vic caught between a rock and a hard place but he should've never tried to deal with Stacy. She's obsessed.

Jenard got the solid goods on Tommy & Mireya, and I don't understand why Shanti told him not to use it. Doesn't she want to end Tommy's power in Chicago? Sending that photo to Miguel might end his life.

Dang, Vic! Stacy's going to lose her mind when she finds out he killed the cop who was handling him.

[Scarlett45]

So haven’t had a chance to read your comments yet- but I swear if Vic had any fucking sense; after they called him in the first time, he would’ve gone home, gotten the second set of identity documents (fake passport, credit card etc) and booked himself a flight to Dublin either on a burner phone or VPN and just left. I know the mob there would’ve given him a job but he would’ve had to get there. Now he’s FUCKED, he killed a cop, and his only way out of this is to say Tommy did it. 
 

But we know Tommy is the main character so he’s not going anywhere.

Just gangsters. Miguel doesn’t care if his sister dates civilians (Dr Kendall got maimed for grabbing her against her will, not dating her), but his subordinates cannot mess with his sister. My Mom said the fact that Mireya knew her brother killed her boyfriend and she didn’t move away, shows she’s not as against the life she pretends to be. 
 

Shallow bus- Leon’s Mom (I can’t remember her name) is very pretty, and she looked FIRE in that red dress and lingerie set. “I want to stay in.” And dropped her clothes, HA! Diamond though- you can’t be half a gangster dude.

Yeah, Gianna was stunning in red on red. What is the deal with Diamond though? He has the personality of a broken toaster and his body is kind of doughy IMO. He does not outwardly show any signs of wealth. Yet women hop right on him. I don't get it.

[luckyroll3]

Jenard: Let me send this DM to The Shade Room real quick. 

When Diamond asks Gianna out to dinner, I said to the TV, she hongry for something alright and it's not dinner!

As a black woman in Chicago IL I could go into a long social diatribe of why men in Diamond’s position have no problem getting sex from attractive women in a certain social group- but you don’t want to hear all that😂. So for cliff notes- I don’t think he’s doughy. He’s got that “thick strong” look to him-Works out but likes to eat pancakes, many women like that look. Also he’s handsome (facially) and polite, knows how to have a conversation- I am NOT shocked women in these social circles hop on him. It’s not as if these women are giving up Dr Kendall types for him.

What I don’t get is why Shanti is with Jernard. He’s ridiculous. He’s high on his own supply and has the emotional maturity of a fruit fly.
