He makes an accurate assumption about Raq when he says clearly, you never lived in public housing before.
Even in the hood, there are levels.
Project living often includes pissed-in hallways, broken elevators, loud neighbors, and rude-ass building inspectors.
Immediately, Frank comes off aggressive and sleazy.
But by now, we know how Raq operates.
If Marvin dont do anything right, he at least knows how to execute a murder for his sister.
He and Kanan employ an old-school marketing tactic by placing paper flyers on the hoods of cars.
During their interaction, Unique plays nice by pretending to be on the same page.
He promises Lou there would be no drugs or violence.
His promise is short-lived, though.
He immediately puts a plan in motion to shoot the event up.
At the event, Lou has tight security measures in place no weapons allowed.
Unable to keep anything down, she locks herself in the bathroom.
Nicole suggests Kanan to speak with her (she knows her girlfriend best), and it works.
Kanan reminds Jukebox how talented she is.
The two make up and their conversation eventually settle Jukeboxs nerves.
During their performance, after talking a bunch of smack, Famous misses his cue.
While performing, Kanan realizes Famouss lyrics sound all too familiar.
He took actual events from Kanans life and placed them in the song.
Its not yet clear if this will impact their friendship.
With the help of Marvin, Lou-Lou escapes.
Worrell blames Scrappy for Lou-Lou getting away and accuses him of being Raqs snitch.
In this episode, each character experiences love differently.
Famous gets a blow job from a teenage groupie at the venue after the big brawl.
Meanwhile, Jukebox and Nicole are still on a high from the nights excitement and Jukeboxs performance.
While riding the Q6 bus to the subway, Nicole reminds Jukebox how much she loves her.
Apparently, Kanan loves Davina as much as Nicole loves Jukebox.
He goes to Davinas house after the showcase and loses his virginity to her.
The lead-up before arriving at Davinas bedroom is the perfect amount of romance needed for a teenager.
Symphony, however, isnt as lucky as Kanan, Jukebox, and Famous.
This brings us to the real father, Detective Howard.
With his leukemia diagnosis, Howards days are numbered.
She doesnt do too bad either.
Good news, right?
Lets also not forget, a man who is a sworn enemy of South Jamaica.
Speaking of enemies, Raq has messed up big time by getting on Deens bad side.
He no longer trusts her.
She also learns that Deen killed his security guard after discovering that he was making side deals with Raq.
Losing her connect places Raquel in an undesirable situation.
She has a back-up plan, though.
She makes a visit to the bodega owners wife.
Lou-Lou had previously told her that the wife has a cousin in Washington Heights with an international connect.
The wife warns Raq that her husband, Gabriel, doesnt get along with her cousin.
During this visit, her bruises are far more apparent.
Raq and Gabriels wife are strikingly different.
One is bold, the other is meek.
One is a fighter, the other has been victimized.
(Something tells me Gabriel is in the way and will end up like Frank.)
Itll be interesting to see if this plan under Marvins leadership works.
For now, trouble has shown up on Raqs doorstep.
Yet again,Raising Kanancloses out with a strong ending.
