'Power' Recap: Secrets and Lies

[Warning: Spoilers ahead.]

We’re more than halfway through the season and every scene is filled with drama! Tariq (Michael Rainey Jr.) is alive and safe. Tommy (Joseph Sikora) and Ghost (Omari Hardwick) reunite and get caught up. Tommy now knows that Tariq was kidnapped by Jukebox, who was killed by Kanan (50 Cent), who isn’t dead. Ghost learns that it was Kanan who sent the ransom note to Tasha (Naturi Naughton) on the day that Ghost was arrested.

Tariq lies and says that Dre (Rotimi) didn’t know that Kanan and Tariq were together. This is Reason #55149729075 why Tariq must die. Especially since we know Dre set up Julio and is trying to get Ghost out the game. Tariq later tells Dre that he lied to protect him so Dre would tell him the truth. Dre tells Tariq that Tommy didn’t help put Kanan away, but is silent when Tariq asks if his mom did with Ghost. Tariq and Reina go at it at home. Reina is quite savvy about what is going on. Tariq is still on the lean and doesn’t trust anyone. And he’s still alive.
