Last weeks episode of Power was an emotional roller coaster ride and left us wondering how in the world can the Power writers top it? Well they most certainly succeeded cause tonight’s episode ‘Don’t Thank Me’ takes this season to another level.It easily is the seasons best so far!

Episode 304 is by far the season’s most intense episode and keep in mind we’re not even half-way through season 3 YET! The episode opens up with the women in Ghost’s life preparing for the day on separate ends.
Ghost is on the phone with Tasha and the topic of discussion is their son Tariq who got in trouble for bringing Angela’s gun to school.
Tasha with her tremendous gift of gab rectified the situation without them having to kick Riq out school permanently. Tasha reveals to Ghost that she has to volunteer at the school because of terms of the punishment on top of Riq having to see a therapist. She reassured Ghost that she will talk to Riq and tell him what questions he can answer truthfully and which ones to maneuver around. Tasha asks Ghost if he can pick up Riq from the therapist office but Ghost tells her he can’t do it because he has an important meeting he can’t miss.Tasha points out that the Tariq needs to know his dad is a priority in his life and that he needs show his face at the house every once in a while.
Ghost then asks if they can’t come to him how is he supposed to see them? Tasha lets him know he can see them anytime he wants. They just can’t come to Angela’s house no more, she then adds she don’t need Raina coming home with a switch blade.
Well damn! Angela is carefully listening and is feeling sorry for everything that happened.Once Ghost ends the phone call with Tasha she immediately apologizes to him. Ghost knows she is sorry for what happened and she promises it won’t ever happen it again. Angela then brings up the fact her sister Paz is coming over and if she want’s Ghost to cancel? He tells her no because he knows how important it is to her.
Now what is *sarcastic voice* America’s favorite television couple up to?
A very intense sex scene of course, what else would they be doing? While Tommy is going to work, Angela looks like she has a thousand things running through her mind. Well we definitely know for a fact it’s the thought her being pregnant and what measures is Tommy taking to Kill Ghost.
Holly suggests to Tommy that maybe he should hire a hitman to take out Ghost. Tommy scoffs at the idea because Lobos insists that he should be the guy to handle the job. Holly was like:
Tommy leaves to do some pickups, Holly picks up her phone and dials up the clinic and starts to weigh her options when it comes to the baby.
Meanwhile in D.C., Jukebox got the crew together and they are going over the plans for their job.
Jukebox is one bad ass character might I add, anyway she’s out laying out the roles for each person. Since Wookie is no longer breathing that leaves one job open and guess who wants it?
That’s right Kanan and he is looking in much better shape, that definitely spells trouble for Ghost. His presence is not immediately well received as he is questioned by Jukebox’s boys. One even goes as far as to call him “gimpanzee” yikes. Kanan let’s the young man know he better chill cause he has no clue who he’s talking to. Jukebox settles everyone down and says the final decision will come from her and no one else. She dismisses the team, but she has some words for Kanan.
She question’s if Kanan can even handle a gun and he insists he can, she pretty much checks Kanan by saying she is willing to bet he can’t even jerk off yet.
Jukebox leaves and that’s where nurse Candie comes in to administer her own form of rehab. Knowing already Candie has developed a thing for Jukebox’s cousin she want’s to see if Kanan can use his bad hand to pleasure himself. Kanan proves Jukebox wrong during the intense self-love session between both him and Candie, Candie then invites Kanan to assist her. I might add this was a very, very and I do mean VERY revealing scene. Kanan is initially worried about Jukebox, but he shouldn’t be worried about her at all.
Jukebox is in the other room listening to it all go down. Candie comes upstairs and informs her boo that his hands most definitely work.
Back in NYC, Ghost is meeting with his new head of security Dean.
Dean informs Ghost that after a few days of personal details that his guys didn’t spot anything that Ghost should be concerned about. Ghost thanks Dean for all of his hard work and decides to keep the personal security for a little bit longer just in case. Dean then asks if there should be anything or someone to keep an eye out for pointing out that it would help his team better keep Ghost safe. Ghost reassured him it’s just club matters and nothing more. I got my eye on this Dean guy cause there is definitely something going on with him.
Angela is still feeling bad about the whole Riq and the gun issue and decides to go see Tasha.
Tasha immediately see’s Angela sitting in her building’s lobby and immediately reacts like:
Knowing the visit is out of the ordinary Tasha immediately assumes the worst and asks if anything has happened to Ghost. Angela tells her that Ghost is fine and that the reason she is there is talk to her, she tells Tasha she got Riq’s record expunged and that she is sorry. Tasha isn’t trying to hear it, she tells Angela that she didn’t do the good deed for Riq or herself but she did it for Ghost. To add insult to injury Tasha tells Angela as long as she stays in “this thing” with Ghost she will be doing things for Ghost for the rest of her life.
Tommy finally catches up with Jae Shin to pick up his payment.
Jae Shin hands over the money telling Tommy the issue of the stepped on product has been taken care off. Dylan is looking very defeated after chopping off his finger as punishment and shaving his head. Tommy of course realizing what happened rubs it in subtly by squeezing Dylan’s disfigured hand during Dylan’s apology for being greedy. Dylan is clearly embarrassed and looks at Tommy with utter disgust.

pisode 303 opens up very interestingly with two “young gentlemen” Wookie and Dirt in a pharmacy. Things escalate quickly when Wookie decides he needs some quick cash and proceeds to hold up the joint. Dirt is totally against Wookie’s decision but Wookie isn’t try to hear it. He tells Dirt to watch the door and to make sure no one is coming. Unfortunately for them a cop conveniently rolls up, how lucky is this pharmacy clerk?
Unfortunately he’s not so lucky at all as we have just met our newest power player Jukebox. She asks the store clerk if he notified the police and he tells her he tripped the silent alarm. Jukebox tells the clerk she wished he hadn’t done that and tells Wookie to shoot him.
Well damn, looks like Jukebox is just a cop to the pay the bills legally, Wookie complies with Jukebox’s command and takes out the clerk. She scolds the two young men telling them how many times she told them not to do a job without a plan? Wookie tries to apologize and explain himself but in right in the middle of his explanation Jukebox shoots and kills him 😮 .
Holy shit, Jukebox has no chill! She looks at Dirt and tells him to get the hell out of the store. In the same breath she scolds Wookie’s corpse for making her shoot him. She calls it in like nothing out of the ordinary happened looks like things will be getting interesting quickly on this episode. From there we head to Jukebox’s home where we meet her ride or die girlfriend Candie.
Jukebox breaks down her day explaining why she had to take out Wookie. She then asks about their visitor they have upstairs. Candie tells Jukebox that he hasn’t made a peep since they brought him in from the hospital. Hmm who could they talking about?
Jukebox heads upstairs to check on their guest, and low and behold it’s Kanan laid out in bed.
He’s in really bad shape, suffering from serious burns and a busted side from his last encounter with Ghost but he’s very much alive.
Add that to the growing list of shit Ghost has to worry about in his life. Speaking of Ghost looks like life as being just James is going well. He and Angela are out competitively exercising together and look to be in high spirits after the successful visit and introduction to Ghost’s kids.
The excited couple speak on eventually becoming a family and how they want that for each other. Angela then asks if things are alright at club cause Ghost left her abruptly with the kids to secretly go see Tommy. Ghost let’s her know everything is alright and Angela appreciated the quality time she spent with the kids. After the conversation Ghost challenges Angela to another race to her apartment giving her a head start. She takes off , Ghost immediately texts Tommy letting him know he’s still looking for him. Unknowingly to the both of them suspended officer Greg is watching them.
We zap to Tommy who we see receives the text from Ghost but of course he totally ignores it. He links up with Holly and his new business partner Tasha.
Tasha explains to them exactly how they will clean the money now that Ghost has closed all the laundromats and other businesses. She tells the new kingpin and Holly that they will invest the dirty drug money in hair weaves. Tasha explains to the two that she has a hair connect that will give them a great price if they pay in cash. Of course Holly is a bit slow and doesn’t still understand.
Tommy and Tasha explain to her that since they deal in nothing but cash it’s untraceable and it will be easy to clean by buying the hair in bulk at a wholesale price. They will then sell it to other salons at double the price, basically cornering the hair market cause their prices will be so low salons will have no choice but to come to them. That also means they are going to need more salons to keep up with all of the cash as well and this is where Tasha’s BFF LaKeisha comes into the fold.
Tasha immediately meets up LaKeisha presenting her with the idea of not just doing hair but selling it as well. Tasha makes a very convincing pitch to her home girl telling her eventually they can start a franchise with the idea making her the McDonald’s of hair weaves. Keisha is here for all of it!
With the prospect of tremendous amounts of cash rolling in Keisha is looking forward to finally buying something for her friend Tasha.
Ghost is still searching for Tommy and stops by his apartment but he’s not there. He leaves Tommy another message letting him know he stopped by to see him. Unfortunately for Ghost he has no clue someone is hot on his trail.
That’s right Greg is still following him around and snaps a photo of Ghost leaving Tommy’s apartment. Uh oh definitely not a good look at all.
Now you know it wouldn’t be a pure episode of Power if there wasn’t a sex scene right? We are thrown into a smash session between Julio and the Korean call girl from the last episode he wanted a piece of. After two intense minutes of “calorie burning” Soo cuts off the fresh off he boat Korean act and tells Julio shes from Fort Lee, Texas. She then indulges in some booger sugar (cocaine) .She asks Julio if he wants some and he respectfully declines but points out that she did some earlier. She tells him not to worry and that she’s a big girl but also points out that the coke is weak as hell. Julio asks where she got it from and she tells him she got it from Dylan, Jae Shin’s son.
Julio immediately recognizes that they have a problem on their hands and hits up Tommy immediately to let him know the bad news.
We head back to D.C. and we see Kanan is really bad shape. Laid out looking like Two-Face from The Dark Knight, Jukebox wakes him, up to let him know she brought him a cane to help him out. Kanan isn’t too receptive of that idea of course. He’s clearly in a lot of pain due to his injuries and asks Jukebox to hand him his pills.
Jukebox tells him after he tells her the truth and what exactly happened to him. Kanan tells her that he got into a beef over some territory but Jukebox isn’t buying that story. She tells him she won’t give him the pills until he comes clean with her and she walks out the room with his pills leaving Kanan to deal with the pain. Jukebox is definitely tough cause we don’t see many with the gall to stand up to Kanan without worrying about it.

elp looks like Ghost isn’t as dead as we thought he was! Episode 2 of season 3 opens up with Ghost tossing and turning next to his conveniently naked boo Angela. Ghost clearly has Lobos on the brain after finding out for sure that he is not dead. Ghost is a very smart guy so he surely knows that some form of revenge is coming his way and his family and anyone close to him is in danger.
With knowledge of Lobos fate finally revealed, Ghost meets up with his star attorney Proctor and asks him to help deliver a message to him.
Proctor still believes Lobos is dead, but Ghost convinces him otherwise carefully without revealing Angela told him. Ghost knows Proctor has powerful connections and he can find out the location of the dangerous drug lord for him.
On the legal front the Angela and Lobos insider Mike are discussing Jefe’s John Doe prosecution case.
Mike is doing his best to stall and deflect in Lobos favor so he can help get his boss out of trouble. Angela of course always gets her man literally and figuratively and is woman on a mission. She makes a request that she needs the files from the cases against Lobos in Texas and California which will help their case immensely. Mike’s sneaky self was reluctant at first trying to change her mind on the idea. Realizing that Angela will not give on the idea he eventually agrees to get the files himself pointing out that the request will be filed quicker if he does it.You ain’t low Mike, we onto you bruh.
With one obstacle avoided Mike immediately bumps into another one though and this time it’s annoying ass Saxe.
Saxe fills Mike in on his bright idea to solve the mystery of who actually attacked Lobos in custody. Mike knows this is not good if the identity of the assassin is revealed and again tries to deflect.
Saxe makes a good point and Mike realizes that he’s not going to be able to change Saxe’s mind on this. He gives Saxe his blessing on the hope that Saxe is not smart enough to discover anything pertinent that will implicate his boss any further calling the hunt “a waste of time”.
As you can see Lobos has everyone on their toes even behind bars. Ghost is still a worried mess and makes a call to his inside guy.
Ghost eloquently in Spanish informs the assassin that if in fact Lobos is still in that building that he has to find a way to get in there. With that out-of-the-way James hits up Tasha via text telling her “I need to see you”. Oh you know something is about to go down when you get those dreaded “I need to see you” texts from the ex.
Now what’s our favorite white drug dealing thug up too? Well he’s out with our favorite character (sarcastic voice) Holly searching for their dead dog Belle. 
We still honestly wish it was her ass and not the dog who had to sacrifice its life but whatever. While Holly is out posting flyers, Tommy finally checks the message he received from Ghost last episode. Holly comes back into the car and asks him who was that and Tommy quickly tells her nobody.
Tommy is trying his best to keep up this lie about Belle to keep Holly calm. He then offers to replace Belle with another dog, Holly wasn’t here for it at all. She compares Tommy buying her another dog to Tommy dying and her having sex with another guy.
Clearly Bell meant the world to Holly and Tommy doesn’t really realize that but that comparison Holly used was dumb as hell.
Now that scene is over with bootleg Ghost and Tasha it’s time we check in the real version. Ghost immediately thanks Tasha for letting him take the kids to Angela’s house. 
Tasha immediately shuts that down and tells him that she didn’t do for him but for the kids. Tasha explains she did it because she doesn’t want them to live without their father in their lives. She quickly asks why Ghost is really in her presence and he presents her with a check for Tommy. Being that he can’t get in contact with his former partner/friend he asks if Tasha can deliver the check for him.The check represents all of the business Ghost and Tommy had together that are now closed. Ghost tells Tasha once he gets the check they are officially done with each other and he is out of the game. Tasha also expresses the fact that Tommy want’s nothing to do with her labeling herself “collateral damage” from their fallout. She reluctantly agrees to deliver the check for the Ghost.
