As Godfather of Harlem season 2 comes to a close, episode 8 (titled Ten Harlems) sees Bumpy Johnson and his allies dealing with the fallout of their recent actions. With the streets of Harlem still in turmoil, alliances are changing and new threats emerge.

Bumpy's estranged wife Mayme is back in Harlem and tensions run high as they are forced to work together to protect their family and their criminal enterprise. Meanwhile, Malcolm X continues to push his vision of Black empowerment, using his platform to advocate for and rally the community towards activism.
