The Queens Child Project becomes the latest thorn in Ghost’s side. Tate holds a meeting with him, Dre, and Simon Stern to inform them of Andre’s new position as the face of the project. Ghost tries to argue but Tate remains unmoved. Stern encourages Ghost to finesse Tate in the same way he defeated Stern and took his clubs. So Ghost handles Dre the corporate way. He gets Dre fired from Karen Bassett’s company due to a violation in his no-compete clause he signed as a Truth employee, and gets to host the charity event at his club. This brief victory washed away when Dre still appeared at the QCP event. Holding another L, Ghost reverted to alcohol to cope which goes exactly how you think. Drunk Ghost appears, curses out Reverend Macedon, and chokes Tate in front of their donors. The worst was yet to come as the brown liquor infused mogul staggered back to his penthouse to make amends with Tariq for missing his brithday party. Tariq rebuffs Ghost’s apologies and his new kicks to berate his dad about his lies, drug empire and Raina’s death. This became peak “try your parents when you get taller than them” teenage rebellion. The inebriated drug Lord couldn’t gain his footing properly deliver an effective parental fade, and Tasha banished him from the residence. With nowhere left to turn, Ghost visits the Rev to finally speak about his pain. Vowing to be a better man, Ghost returns to the safest space he has left…Angela’s crib.
Tariq gets a ride back from Choate from Kanan, as another old alliance is rekindled too. You can’t keep a good crook down.
