Dre has a lot on his plate and the decision to link up with Tate on this Queens Child Project may be a good move to clean up his image. It also lends him the opportunity to stand much closer to Ghost in front of the public eye which he thinks makes him untouchable.
Speaking of untouchable, big kudos and a round of applause to Angela Valdes (Lela Loren) for arresting the Jimenez and taking them into custody! Thanks to Arturo (Victor Almanazar) who snitches on the Jimenez’ location, Valdes and her team are able to pull up on them before they board a private plane back to Mexico.
But the victory doesn’t last long. Angela’s new boy toy, DEA agent Steve Tampio (Richard Ryker) steps off the elevator and shuts the whole thing down in a matter of moments.
He gives the orders to make sure that he’s not being monitored as he walks straight into the interrogation room, pulls the cord from the video camera, and basically tells Elisa Jimenez (Mattea Conforti) that she and her brother are free to go. She tells him that she’s figures it’s because the cartel keeps order in a region important to the U.S. government. But who the hell is this guy???
All we know is Tampio got orders from his mysterious superiors to let the Jimenez go. And we find out something else – she’s the real leader of the cartel. Her brother is too busy ‘aggressively” hitting on club workers, ordering Dre to have sex with whoever he says and running up a bar tab his sister makes him pay for. Elisa has come to see Diego as a liability, something that doesn’t bode well for his future on Power.
But Angela may want to keep him around. He may prove himself useful in a couple of other situations she’d like to disappear like, getting NYPD internal Affairs officer Blanca Rodriguez (Monique Gabriela Curnen) off her back since she’s still digging into the investigation of Ray Ray Jones and how Angela’s involved.
Or, help poor Proctor (Joe Ferrara) out. He’s going through it right now. Mak is refusing to leave him alone and even issues a warrant to raid his home looking for evidence on the disappearance of Bailey Markham (Lee Tergesen).
And lastly, Angela finally returns James’ phone call and they meet at an out-of-the-way diner. They’re both broken, hurt, lost and feeling guilty over the many wrong things they’ve done, separately and together. Well, well, what does this renewed flame mean for everyone else on the show?
But for Ghost, in his newly vulnerable state, it’s a blessing. He has been losing it without Angela. He can’t handle all the losses that ultimately have come from his own bad choices.
