The stakes in the first five minutes of episode four are high!
And while theres no room to fuck up, somehow folks still drop the ball.
Lets start with Professor Milgram.
It is quite easy to feel sorry for the former prosecutor in episode three.
But Carrie isnt new to throwing others in the mud to protect herself.
Whatever her reasons, sis is playing the game of Who killed the professor?
quite well, regardless of how unlikable it makes her.
She uses this information against Lauren to get her to snitch on the Stansfield campus drug dealer (a.k.a.
Tariq, Laurens sort-of boyfriend).
The timing for Lauren and Tariq to take their relationship more seriously couldnt be worse.
With Lauren under police surveillance, Tariq and Braydens business has the potential to be exposed.
In her defense, somehow she is smart enough to remove the watch and hide it in the bathroom.
Hopefully, it wont get to the point where Lauren will have to choose between Tariq or her future.
As usual, Tariq has a lot on his plate.
This, of course, pisses his grandmother off, and she gives him a piece of her mind.
He leans on Maclean for assistance.
According to Tariq, the police have a murder weapon, and it belongs to an NYPD cop!
This news excites Maclean.
Because he is driven by money, Maclean could care less how Tariq is privy to this information.
So she does what any heartless front-runner of a drug organization would do: kill.
But it was actually Diana who robbed her mother.
Diana paid Maclean to help her with her fathers case.
Zeke is technicallyjustMonets nephew; Lorenzo doesnt feel the same urgency to protect him as he does Monet.
Guess who swoops in and saves the day: none other than Mecca, a.k.a.
Mecca is Canes father??
Its all beginning to make sense now.
How he magically rolls up on Cane and forms a relationship with him to gain his trust.
How he looks out for Cane and offers advice that encourages Cane to look out for himself.
Ive got one question: How in the hell will Cane feel about this??
Or even Monets other kids?
For now, Dru is busy trying to protect Zeke and repair his fractured relationship with his ex-boyfriend Everett.
He relies on Everett to rally the basketball team to protest for Zeke.
Rightfully so, Dru is pissed.
For now, it seems the two are equally in love despite their hesitations to trust each other.
Despite successfully raising money for Zeke and keeping his family secrets, Dru still drops the ball.
He curses out Jemele and the station producers on live television and walks off the set.
During Zekes interview, Monet notices Canes unusual behavior and realizes hes hiding something.
Cane quickly spills the beans about his and Tariqs involvement in the murder of Jabari Reynolds.
Of course, Cane excitedly puts most of the blame on Tariq.
Tariqs trust in Cane may be his downfall.
Hes not the only one, though.
Brayden also mistakenly trusts Cane, and this decision will more than likely backfire on him, too.
Right now, though, hes living out his thug-life dreams by assisting Cane with a string of robberies.
Cane and Brayden use Braydens whiteness to their advantage, and so far, it works well.
The young, rich Weston assists the gangsta Tejada (wait, what is Canes last name now?)
with digging up Ramirezs body.
The question remains, Who will go down for Professor Reynoldss murder?
