We find out Unique and Raq share the same connect.

(How this isnt a conflict of interest, I dont know.)

Raq continues to be sneaky by partnering up with Smurf.

She also gives Detective Howard some hot tea regarding Unique and his teams whereabouts.

Detective Howard is diagnosed with leukemia (so soon in the season, shit!)

(Pauses to take a breath) But wait, theres even more.

Lets get into it!

You cant have a crime drama centered around the drug game without a drug bust.

And what makes a drug bust even more thrilling to watch?

You guessed it: When the drug dealers outrun or outsmart the know-it-all cops.

We also find out why Detective Howard struggled to keep up with one of Raquels men.

Besides the fact he had on hard-bottom shoes, remember, he has a serious form of leukemia.

After what can be categorized as makeup sex, Raquel and Symphony quiz each other about their intentions.

Their relationship constantly shifts from strict single parent and teenage son to drug queenpin and novice hustler.

Throughout the episode, Kanan does not do a good job at sticking and moving.

Kanan, however, is lovestruck (I mean, he did kill her boyfriend).

His motive for selling dope was to make money so that he can buy Davina some groceries.

Appreciative of the kind gesture, the two kiss.

Im not sure if Davina kissed him because she wants more groceries or because she actually likes him.

Oscar-winning performance, if I say so myself.

I was glad he didnt throw D-Wiz under the bus, though.

Hes having a really hard time dealing with the death of his friend.

As Kanan lies to Davina about Buck Twentys death, Raq lies to Kanan about D-Wizs death.

Once she notices her son is grieving, she suggests they pay a visit to D-Wizs mother.

(We see where Kanan gets his cold-bloodedness from.)

It is not clear whether or not Kanan has caught on to his mothers lies.

Jukebox continues to boost the freshest new clothes.

Each mission gets more and more dangerous, though.

Her relationship with her girlfriend also continues to flourish.

Similar to Raq and Symphony, they come from two different worlds.

I wonder how long shell be able to hide her sexuality from her family.

On the other hand, theres not much it’s possible for you to hide from Raquel.

It didnt take her long to figure out that Unique has been making deals with the cops.

The writers merge the two worlds perfectly!

Marvin is a MESS!

He was also caught sneaking in his daughters room!

Andthen, he helped put Kanan on the streets selling for him.

Whew, Raq is vicious!

She really sat in front of that little boys mothers face and lied!

What is going to happen to her relationship with Kanan once he realizes she did it??

Raq finally got one up on Unique.

Im sure hes going to retaliate somehow.

Its refreshing to see these new characters in thePoweruniverse enjoy their love interests.

(Remember Holly, Lakeisha, Shawn, the lawyer, and Angela?

Yeah, they all ended up dead.)
