Excited for Power Book II Ghost Season 3 Episode 2? Lauren’s alive is not surprising, and if I were the writer, there are so many ways I could keep Lauren alive unless I don’t have a future for the character. In this article, I will talk about Lauren’s survival. Why and How she managed to survive? Who is Effie really now? And How Jenny Sullivan is playing Saxe?
Lauren is alive and under what I will describe as witness protection. How did all this happen and why is there a CI amongst Tariq’s crew, and who is this CI Jenny talked about? Now I will be telling my theory, and I want you to pay close attention to it and all the references I will be making.
Some of you think Saxe will survive this season, but I still believe that based on how this first episode has been structured, Saxe is all by himself, and no one will risk their lives to save him. Not to talk of becoming a snitch to Jenny because of some love emotions. And we all know if Saxe is caught giving information to Jenny, it’s over for him. He said so himself. And I can’t wait to see how this triangle between Jenny, Blanka, and Saxe plays out.
Power Book II Ghost Season 3 Episode 2 Release Date & Preview
Power Book II Ghost Season 3 Episode 2 will release on 24th March 2023 on Starz. First, let’s talk about How Lauren is still alive. Now if you remember Courtney Kemp in her live video session on Season 2 after episode 9 was aired, she said we should pay attention to the lyrics of the music that was played at the scene where Effie came back to sleep by Tariq after she took Lauren away.
Courtney also stated that the song was used on purpose, and I’m sure most of you didn’t see any reason for that song till the season was over. Now when Laurens’s life was in danger for wearing a wire around Tariq, she became scared for her life and was willing to leave town for safety.
Now, these are the possibilities as to how Lauren ended up with Jenny and Effie becoming her CI. If Lauren was able to wear a wire, she would be able to keep a tracker on her as well isn’t she? Now to become a CI for law enforcement, it’s either voluntary, or they have some dirt on you that has been used against you to become their CI or risk going to jail.
When Brayden was picking up Lauran, there was a car Packed opposite Brayden’s car. This is no coincidence that there is a car packed here. The person in this Car was watching Lauren.
Now hypothetically speaking, let’s say when Lauren was going with Brayden. She had a tracker on her, which was given to her by Jenny with the mindset that if, at any time, she was kidnapped by a potential killer, she could be tracked down. So, when Brayden went away with her, Jenny and her people were tracking them.
Now if you look behind them, two cars followed Brayden and Lauren. One can say it’s just a coincidence, and those were probably some random people on the road, but if you noticed, the cars were not speeding at all, more like they were doing a jolly ride. I might be wrong about these two cars, but let’s fast forward to the subject matter.
Now when Effie took over from Brayden, they continued to track her too. Now here is what I think ok happened ok. When Effie finally decided to push the Car with Lauren unconscious in it, Jenny and her people got to the scene a few minutes after the car went into the water.
Effie Betraying Tariq
Now if you look closely at the Trailer for this season, some guilt is written over Effie’s face. I’m sure that was the moment she was caught red-handed in an attempt to commit murder. So what happened? Jenny decided to make Effie a CI or risk going to jail in an attempt to kill Lauren. So quickly, Lauren was saved and sent into witsec, and Effie went home to sleep by Tariq that night.
So in the Trailer, you see Lauren shown in the car being pushed into the water by Effie. So the intention by Effie was very clear and defined from the beginning to Kill Lauren. Her plan didn’t work because she was possibly caught red-handed hence becoming a CI to Jenny.
Now if you cast your mind back to episode 9 of season 2, that is why she seemed scared and in deep thought when she entered the room to sleep by Tariq. If you look closely at her mood she was looking like she is going to betray Tariq every day, she wasn’t in that mood because she successfully killed Lauren. She was looking like that because she took a deal that would not be easy for her, especially around Tariq. So Effie wasn’t worried about what she did to Lauren; she was worried about being caught and becoming a mole.
So, if you study her, ever since, she’s been acting weird. And If you notice, Effie is always interested in knowing everything. Even when Tariq keeps telling her that this new connect Noma is very dangerous, she seems not to care about the danger she is putting herself into. Why because she is on a mission and needs to report. If you ask me personally, this is how I think the narrative has become.
Spoiler Alert* The initial idea was to kill Lauren because her RIP post was released after the end of the episode. Now I don’t know what you think, but I think Effie is the CI working for Jenny. You heard her say to Tariq she doesn’t need protection, and it means she knows very well she is under cover now.
Jenny And Saxe
Now let’s move to Jenny and Saxe. As it stands now, Jenny is playing Saxe in her scheme, and this will land him in trouble soon. She told Saxe about Lauren’s death and faked some tears to see if she could get some information from Saxe. Only for Saxe to tell her to take the L and give up. She wants to trade every piece of evidence with sex, and Saxe is definitely going to fall for it.
Now I can see people playing themselves here. If Blanka gets to know Jenny is even taking any information from Saxe, she might not even collaborate with Jenny again knowing what Saxe did to her in the original Power. Saxe is going to find out that Davis committed the manslaughter his brother Theo is serving time for, and this is where I think Saxe will flip with this information to become a target.
Blanka And Her Plan
Now Blanka giving Mecca’s Penthouse to Monet to see the kind of people it will attract was a very smart move. Now many will understand this scene differently, but this is why I think the lights were cut before Noma entered the penthouse.
The reason is that, if there are hidden cameras installed inside, no one will see their faces and what they came there to do. I believe Blanka went further to bug the house and possibly set some hidden cameras in there for visual and audio evidence.
Now let’s agree that Blanka bugged Mecca’s penthouse before Cane had that party with the connect, and had these conversations with Tariq and Brayden before Noma and her goons came in. We can then see that potentially, she has Tariq, Brayden, and Cane on tape discussing business, Course correct, etc, even though there were little or no specifics in their discussions.
Now if I was Blanka and I had bugged the house with either an audio or video device, I would make sure I power that device with constant electricity instead of a device that will require interchangeable batteries so that the device will not run out of power. Hence can stay on for as long as I can get enough evidence.
Now having this in mind, and as smart as Noma is, they decided to cut off every power in that room before entering. So that if there are any devices installed in that room, they won’t be captured.
