Detective Blanca Rodriguez is still lurking. She knows Tariq is guilty of much more than the charges he just beat, but she has to watch him walk away. This sets the stage for the season's cat-and-mouse game between law enforcement and the drug organizations.

Trials for the murder of Jabari Reynolds are approaching. Tariq St. Patrick (Michael Rainey Jr.) and Brayden Weston (Gianni Paolo) are trying to keep their heads down. Brayden is particularly shaken by the events at the club and the death of Zeke. Detective Blanca Rodriguez is still lurking
