With the fate of Tariq’s future in the hands of Tate, he’s forced to get him tangible proof of Sweeney in Blackface, even though he knows it will piss Brayden off.
He wastes zero time saying something to Tariq, though.
He asks his brother for advice, but the councilman, realizing that this is valuable information that can benefit him, advises Kamaal not to say anything. Because the woman keeps changing her story, the younger Tate brother doesn’t believe her. During their conversation, Kamaal casually mentions receiving frequent calls from a drunk woman who has identified herself as a potential witness in the Jabari Reynolds murder. The detective tells him that Jenny plans to use him to repair Carrie’s image. Tate is Sullivan’s next witness, but little does she know, Tate is corrupt and self-serving.įishing for information, Tate goes to his brother to inquire about Jenny’s motives. MacLean is trying to figure out what Jenny Sullivan and Rashad Tate have on his client. Dream over.Īwakened by his phone ringing in real life, Tariq answers Davis MacLean’s call. Surprisingly, she encourages him to answer the call. As he tries to exit, Lauren shows up (foreshadowing her death?), and he begs her not to go into the classroom. The more he tries not to be like his father, the more he becomes his father. Ghost calls Carrie’s phone, and Tariq refuses to answer. Was it fair that he left Proctor’s door unlocked so Tommy could sneak in? Or that he set up Cane? Like most of the people who died, Tariq’s unable to take accountability. They also accuse him of not playing fair. Professor Tate presents a thoughtful question on the lecture room’s board “Is there any such thing as a fair fight?” Professor Reynolds, Kanan, Ray Ray, Lakeisha, Proctor, and professor Milgram all show up and blame Tariq, whether directly or indirectly, for their deaths.
Episode nine begins with us in the middle of Tariq’s nightmare. And similar to his father, Tariq’s demons are beginning to haunt him more frequently. Did Effie really kill Lauren? Tariq is his father’s son for sure! Remember, it was his father’s actions that cost Angela her life. I’d be lying if I said I weren’t in my feelings. Photo: Atsushi Nishijima/Starz Entertainment
