The case against Angela is building rapidly. Tameika wants hard evidence to link Angela to Ghost’s criminal empire since they already have an obstruction of justice charge ready to go. Mak and Saxe put further pressure on Teresi to get information on Tommy and Ghost. So Teresi decides to bond with Tommy over criminal activity. Tommy, Teresi, and Sammy visit their connect inside the MCC (Where Teresi was locked up for over 2 decades) to collect their funds. The connect tries to swindle Teresi by underpaying. Bad move. Teresi and Tommy torture and kill the connect, which leads to a reminiscent drive home about Tommy’s best kills in Power history. Teresi invites Tommy over to his place for a family dinner later that evening, so Connie can teach them the ways of advanced money laundering. Connie is more accepting of Tommy now that Teresi finally admits to the affair that led to Tommy’s birth. Connie challenges Teresi to protect Tommy otherwise he’ll be lonely and without family once Connie passes away.
The family dinner goes smoothly until Tommy’s mom Kate crashes the party. The insults are hurled at a feverish pace while Connie remains unbothered. Maury couldn’t have scripted a more intense scene, as Kate is unceremoniously kicked out the house. Connie inquires about a possible lady in Tommy’s life, and Tommy says there is…The only problem is Keisha didn’t really know. They reconcile over dinner and promises by Tommy visit his family. Keisha let’s Tasha know the good news, but also may have unknowingly told her that Tommy does have a new dad (and it’s possibly the man who was locked up with Ghost and terrorizing him.
Teresi later, speaking with Mak and Saxe, decides to snitch on Ghost murdering Marshall Williams (R.I.P. Charlie Murphy).
Angela will also have to contend with Proctor. The criminal defense attorney cut a deal with Saxe to find dirt on Angela covering up murders in exchange for reinstatement as a lawyer (in other words he can practice law). Proctor asks Tommy and they conclude that it may be the Sandoval murder that Angela setup. In a series of hilarious break-ins, first at her apartment then her car, Tommy tries to discover this information for himself. Angela doesn’t budge, but finally accepts that she’s no longer the hero in this tale. With the walls closing in on her, she embraces her dark side and requests that Tommy keep her in mind if she has to eliminate a certain “John” from the equation to save herself. Tommy sees the Devil inside and gains a brief affinity for Angela’s style. The AUSA has one more trick up her sleeve to escape her dilemma.
Angela meets with Steve Tampio to angle for a job as a lead prosecutor in his secret B-613-esque government division so she can leave NYC and all her troubles. She offers this role to Mak to ensure his loyalty and to possibly stall the case against her. Donovan let her know that she has no more friends in the office and purchasing this friendship is her last resort for freedom.
