One thing’s for sure: there’s going to be a hell of a lot more blood and death in Power Book II Ghost Season 3 Episode 5. And coming to the halfway point of the season, things are only going to get crazier. Especially because we’re about to see 90% of what we’ve seen in the teasers and trailers before the season began.
In this Episode 5 Spoilers article, we will break down the episode promo and talk about what will happen in the episode. This will be an episode where we’re going to see Power Book II Ghost head to Italy, and it is certainly something different. But a new city means new problems with new players. Episode 5 will also be, no doubt, an explosive one, an episode where I believe it’s time to say goodbye to Lorenzo Tajada. But who pulls the trigger?
Power Book II Ghost Season 3 Episode 5 Spoilers
Now, one of the biggest mysteries going into Power Book II Ghost Season 3 Episode 5, not necessarily for us as the audience but also for Monet, is who killed Zeke. Ghost Season 3 kicked off three months after the events of Season 2, and she was still searching for the killer.
We saw Monet in a position where we’d never seen her before—a little vulnerable. We are used to seeing her have control over her kids. All this control that she had in Seasons 1 and 2 definitely vanished.
But someone whom Monet was bossing around was Lorenzo. She tasked Lorenzo to find the man responsible. And over time, we’ve seen Cain uncover the truth while keeping the secret to gain leverage over his father. But they then blame Zeke’s death on the Gwap, which Cain ran with because that allowed him to get control over the Tajada organization.
This then continued to raise questions with Dru, Diana, and also Monet. But the latest reveal is about to turn Monet’s world completely upside down. Tariq St. Patrick is the only one she can trust, and she’s going to ask for his help in Episode 5. He tells her that the Gwap didn’t kill Zeke. So I fully expect Power Book II Ghost Season 3 Episode 5 to end in one way, the death of Lorenzo.
No More Second Chances
Now the Tajada is only one part of the story. Power is heading to Italy, where we’re also going to see Effie, Brayden, and Tariq face a very sticky situation in Milan that’s going to require Noma’s help.
So I will bring in some of the teasers and scenes that weren’t necessarily in the Power Book II Ghost S3 E5 trailer but from previous teasers and official trailers that we can tell are from Episode 5. And it actually gives us a bigger story for Tariq’s time in Italy as well as the beef between Monet and Lorenzo.
Episode 5 is titled “No More Second Chances”. And according to the synopsis for Episode 5, a business deal will be taking place in Italy, where we will see Tariq, Brayden, and Effie do their business. Then we will see Monet digging further after our boy Davis gives us very new information regarding Zeke’s killer. Finally, Saxe will try to find out what Jenny is hiding.
Now, we normally break down the title and the meaning behind it, but I think “No More Second Chances” is pretty much self-explanatory. But I am intrigued to see how they break this down in the classroom because someone to whom Tariq gave a second chance was Effie. This little secret still lingers around, and Cain definitely holds a lot of power with what happens with Effie and Tariq’s relationship.
Saxe Will Find Out About Lauren
But I don’t think, based on the synopsis for Episode 5, it’s going to be Saxe who finds out about the Laurence situation first. He found Jenny’s second phone and took a picture of the contact number. And when and if he rings it, he’s going to be in for one big shock when he hears the voice on the other end, Lauren.
Now what he does with that information is yet to be seen, but it’s definitely not good news for Jenny or Lauren. So we will see them being one step closer to Tariq St. Patrick and the rest of the crew finding out. And it will cause absolute chaos, which I love to see.
Monet Gets Close To Zeke’s Killer
Now when it comes to Monet, we’ve already heard a brief backstory of where she finds herself. And her finding Lorenzo’s prints at the crime scene would be an 89% match. At some point in Episode 5, we will see Davis getting her more information.
Now we’re also going to see Davis telling Monet that she needs to be careful because she doesn’t know who could be watching, which is very similar advice that he gave to Tariq in Season 2, “Trust No One.”
All eyes will definitely be on Monet because she just killed a cop. Even if it was so-called self-defense. But Monet seems like she’s on real rampage mode this season. She really is not f’ing around.
The way she killed I mentioned in my article last week that it seemed like that wasn’t enough. You could tell she definitely wanted more blood, and she certainly got that with Detective Whitman. But here’s when Monet will approach Tariq for help. And we all know that Tariq is the only one Monet can trust.
Monet Can Only Trust Tariq
Now we can look at the scene from Episode 1 where Tariq made it clear everybody was going behind the back in Season 2. Or even all the way back to Season 1, where Three made it clear that he was the only one that she could trust. This is why we’re seeing Monet approach Tariq St. Patrick in the Power Book II Ghost Season 3 Episode 5 Trailer.
So far, Tariq has done nothing but be there for Monet, which is ironically full of Tariq’s flaws and how we say nobody should trust Tariq St. Patrick either. He’s the only one who hasn’t betrayed Monet. So Tariq tells Monet that the Gwap wasn’t responsible for Zeke’s death, and he has it on good authority from a source that is very reliable.
I wonder who Tariq’s source is. I do wonder if Tariq had Effie questioned Cain. Because I’m not sure how else Tariq would have got this information. Because there are only two people who know that Guap didn’t kill Zeke, and thus Cain and Lorenzo.
Who Will Kill Lorenzo?
So if you take a look at a few of the scenes that weren’t in the Power Book II Ghost Season 3 Episode 5 Preview when it comes to this whole situation between Lorenzo and Monet.
Now Lorenzo is wearing the same blue polo as he is in the Episode 5 trailer, as he is in one of the teasers that were released before Ghost Season 3. A teaser where Monet flips a switch on Lorenzo and tells him to get out of New York. So is Monet about to find out Lorenzo was behind Zeke’s death?
If Monet finds out about that, then all hell is about to break loose, and I do think it’s lights out for Lorenzo. Especially because of the dialogue between him and Cain in Episode 4. This was the moment where I said, Yeah, that’s Lorenzo’s death coming, and I fully expect that to be in Episode 5.
For me, it’s just a question of who pulls the trigger. Because Monet does seem like too much of an obvious choice. So let me know your theories on who you think will lend Lorenzo. Could it be Monet, or will it be someone else?
Tariq And Crew In Italy
Now one thing we have to love about Power Book II Ghost Season 3 is the unpredictability, the tension, and the surprises. And the fact that Tariq, Brayden, and Effie are going to Italy is definitely another. We’re going to see The Three Musketeers head off to Italy on what I believe is a job for Lucas Weston and RSJ. They hinted at our big Italian tech firm that Orisha was interested in investing in, and Tariq St. Patrick is definitely the man for the job.
Now, what this reminds me of is the time when Simon Stern sent Ghost on a mission to Miami to get a few club owners to sign over to Stern. And RSJ, and Traiq St Patrick seemed to be building a bit of a business relationship, especially after the QCPDL. He also knows Tariq James St. Patrick’s son, and those were RSJ’s own words.
Now, whether Tariq can meet his expectations in Italy is yet to be seen. But we have to be fair to Tariq; whenever he’s thrown the challenge, he normally does find a way of making things work, very similar to ghosts in that respect.
Now they’ve also left a clue, the Easter egg, and a call back to Power. Tariq knows someone who can speak Italian. So Tariq is definitely the right man for the job. But while he’s in Italy, he’s going to come across Noma.
Now, this was one of the scenes from the official Power Book II Ghost Season 3 trailer, which matches up to what we see in the Power Book II Ghost Season 3 Episode 5 Preview. Here we see Noa and Obi taking Tariq by surprise. But where do we also hear Moma questioning Tariq again? “So you think you can replace Mecca?” And Tariq’s response will be “Oh, yeah”. But Noma will remind them: “If she doesn’t see a profit, there will be consequences”.
Brayden In Trouble
Now the last time we saw Noma was here with this introduction in Season 1, and since then, we learned that she was in Paris. But what is Noma doing in Italy? Well, she runs a global empire, so it doesn’t make sense as she gets around overseeing her operation. And it’s a good job that Noma is in Italy because Tariq will need some backup.
Brayden seems to be up to no good snooping around someone’s library, and I’m not exactly sure who this is or what he’s looking for. But he says he doesn’t need to find the party; the party finds him.
Now, I think we all know that Brayden is a smooth talker, but one day his mouth was eventually going to get him into a whole load of trouble, and it seems that’s what’s going to happen in Power Book II: Season 3 Episode 5. We see Brayden being stripped down, tied to a chair, and beaten by the Italians, and they’re going to hold him until Tariq gives them what they want.
Now, this is where we’re going to see three being held at gunpoint. But again, based on the official trailers and teasers we saw before Ghost Season 3, this is where Noma’s going to come in to rescue them.
Now one thing I love about Noma is that the writers have kept their appearances short and limited so far. But when we do see her, she’s as ruthless as F, and she knows how to get what she wants. And at this moment, the Italians are messing with the people running Noma’s operation in New York, and that’s not going to end well for them. What this also might mean for Tariq is that he might owe her no moral favor after she saves him, Brayden, and Effie.
Blanca And Salim
Now, Blanca’s CI survived the shoot and has some evidence on him that will put Brayden and Lorenzo in serious trouble should Blanca get hold of his phone. Now, talking about CI, this guy Salim needs to be watched. I don’t know about you, but he seems to be asking some type of question that makes him suspicious.
First, he started googling Diana; now he is telling her to cut ties with her family for her good and talking about seeing her running errands for her father, etc. He can potentially be a CI trying to get his head into the Tejadas. Let me know what you also think about Salim.
Also, we see someone with a bloody knife, which is difficult to see who this is. Let me know all your thoughts and predictions on Power Book II Ghost Season 3 Episode 5, and let me know what you think about Power heading to Italy.
