Power Recap: Season 3, Ep. 10 – “In My Best Interest” - Page 2
Throughout this season of Power, every character has abandoned the team mentality to serve their best interests. The only person you can trust 100% is yourself, and for Tommy, Ghost, Tasha, Angela and Greg Knox, they held this mantra close to their heart.
Multiple conflicts reached their boiling point, and the results were explosive!
Greg Knox knew there were only two ways his story would end; Tragedy or Triumph. His career and love life were in shambles and his only retribution would be to send Ghost, Angela or the true Lobos leak to jail. Recovering the wire from Ruiz, he thought had most of the evidence needed to take Ghost and Angela down, but the Sandoval tie was too strong to ignore.
Inviting Sandoval to his apartment to discuss the case, he gets the call which confirms that Sandoval never received a federale tip about Lobos. Two plus two slowly started to look like four, and Greg knew that the true leak was staring him in the face. Greg’s sense of duty, and relentlessness to see some type of justice served couldn’t prevent him from confronting Sandoval in a less than coy manner. Sandoval, faced with jail time or worse, crosses the line and kills Greg. This story couldn’t have ended any other way for Knox, but who knew that Sandoval would pull the trigger, and plant the burner phone implicating Knox as the leak!
Milan served as Tommy’s de facto mentor this season. Since his reveal as the Serbian connect, Milan represented the next step in evolution for Tommy’s character. Tommy loves the drug life and never wanted to leave. Always overlooked as no more than a simple grunt soldier, he knew that he was destined for more.

Time and opportunity breed success, and Milan gave Tommy a look into a future yet to come. Milan’s greatest fault was that he was too good of a teacher. Tommy learned the machinations of his operation and devised the ultimate plan to rid he and Ghost of Milan once and for all. The execution of the plan at Truth, ultimately leading in Milan’s death, demonstrated Tommy’s ascension over Ghost as the true mastermind on this show. He mitigates all concerns, moves in his own way, and gets results. We’ll see how he fares as the new connect next season.
Ghost seemed to have got his wish to leave the drug game for good, but Angela, feeling the scorn from Greg’s death would have the last laugh. Ghost made a fatal flaw of leaving fingerprints in Knox’s office after he went snooping for evidence once Knox confronted him about the wiretap. This indirectly implicated him in the murder, and Ghost gets arrested in his club, in front of Karen Bassett and her dad. Who knows if that deal will be torn to shreds? Who knows how Ghost will get out of this one. Proctor will be busy for a while…
That’s not Ghost’s only issue. The initiation of Tariq into Kanan’s circle has his its apex, with an ill fated meeting with Jukebox. Jukebox wants to go for the jugular against Ghost and tells Kana to ransom Tariq, then kill him. You can see the hesitation in Kanan’s face. Is he getting attached to Tariq? Either way, he sends a ransom text to Tasha. The feds and Kanan have Ghost and his family in a precarious position. If season 3 had excruciating bloodshed, we can expect season four to be extremely traumatic!
