Recap

Jenny and Blanca question Monet and Diana at the Tejada house about Whitman's death. Later, Monet tells Davis she got rid of the police file and was jumping to conclusions about Lorenzo.

Monet asks Tariq to find out where International Guap was the night of Zeke's murder.

Tariq tells Tate that word on the street is International Guap killed Zeke, and he should take that information to the FEDs.

Lucas tells RSJ Weston Holdings wants to invest in an Italian company, Nervona, and they'll send him to Italy along with Kiki and Brayden to secure the deal. RSJ then invites Tariq, with Effie as well, and disinvites Lucas.

After Tate calls him out for lying about the International Guap information, Tariq can confirm with Monet that International Guap was in the Dominican Republic the night Zeke died. And later, Monet asks Cane who told him International Guap killed Zeke, and he tells her he heard it from Lorenzo.

While boarding the plane to Italy, Brayden drops his phone, and Kiki retrieves it and sees various crashcoin deposits being made to him.

Jenny, Blanca, and Saxe drink to Whitman's memory, and Jenny tells them she needs more information so they don't end up like him.

Lorenzo tells Cane about Monet's question and urges him to be honest with her about killing Zeke. Lorenzo tells him Monet will never forgive him if he does.

After hooking up, Gordo tells Dru that the redneck who survived the motel shooting was a CI, and he's being held at a nearby medical center. Dru wonders how Gordo didn't know he was a CI, but after a brief argument, they decide to work together to eliminate the CI.

Monet goes to Evelyn's diner and tells him that Lorenzo ordered the hit on Frank, claiming she could no longer sit with the information. Evelyn says she wants to protect her boys from retaliation and won't say anything. Monet then asks her to keep their conversation to herself.

At the meeting with Nervona, RSJ uses information Tariq got from Effie about the company's struggles to secure a US patent as a way to own more of the company after they invest. While Tariq and Effie later celebrate and talk about the future, they are approached by Noma and Obi, who tell them they have to retrieve a listening device Mecca planted in her ex, Lombardi's, home.

When Dru and Gordo arrive at the hospital, the place is overrun with cops. But while they hide in a closet, they overhear that the CI has died, and they race down to claim his cell phone, offering up a ton of cash to the woman in charge before Blanca arrives. They then dispose of the phone.

RSJ gets them invited to Lombardi's saloon party, and Brayden looks for the device in Lombardi's library. He's caught by Lomabrdi's men and taken away before Effie can help. She then gets the listening device back to Tariq.

Brayden is tortured by the Lombardi and his men but refuses to tell them who he works for.

At the Tejada family dinner, Lorenzo takes Diana aside and tells her she no longer has to move product.

Saxe tells Davis that he found a prosecution misstep in the Theo Rollins redacted file, and after Davis leaves to tell Theo the good news, Saxe snoops around his office and finds Zeke's murder file from Whitman. He takes a picture of it.

Tariq and Effie meet with Lombardi, where they offer him the listening device in exchange for Brayden. But once they get Brayden back and hand over the device, Lombardi threatens to kill Tariq if he doesn't tell them who sent him. Noma then shows up to kill Lombardi and all his men as part of the plan she enacted with Tariq.

Realizing their worth, Noma tells Tariq and company she sees them working together for a long time.

After Jenny won't answer his calls, Saxe follows her out of the city and to her family's house, where he confronts her about keeping things from him. Lauren then comes out, and Saxe accuses Jenny of lying to them both, telling Lauren that she isn't forced to be there and Tariq didn't try to kill her.

Effie shows Tariq a picture she took of a painting in Lombardi's house that showed him, Noma, and a little girl. She believes they can use Noma's daughter as leverage to get out of working for her.

Lorenzo confesses to Monet that he killed Zeke, and she kicks him out and tells him to leave New York.

Tariq gets a text late at night to meet in the park and is surprised to see Lauren alive. She tells him what happened to her the day she supposedly died and Brayden and Effie's role in it. She also tells him about working with the FEDs and the case they're building against him.

Tariq doesn't tell Effie about Lauren when he returns to the dorms, but Effie does tell him she loves him.

Gordo slits Lorenzo's throat, and he dies in front of the bar. Monet then gets a text from Gordo thanking her and telling her it's done.

Power Book II: Ghost Season 3 Episode 5 Quotes

Evelyn: Are you trying to clear your conscience?
Monet: I figured you'd find out eventually. Look, I already lost one child. I didn't want this to come back on the others. I thought you should know who's responsible.

Jenny: Monet Tejada's self-defense story is fucking bullshit. She murdered a cop, and we're not doing shit about it.
Blanca: Whitman was unhinged, but he wasn't a criminal. This is on us. We should have fucking listened to him.
