Noma and Carter team up in Power Book II: Ghost Season 4 Episode 8
Like the previous seasons, Power Book II: Ghost season 4 has shown the principal characters at their manipulative best. They constantly have to scheme and strategize if they are to stay one step ahead of their adversaries, and survive.
At the beginning of episode 8, Tariq and Monet approach Noma and Cane, informing them that Carter is after Noma. When Noma wants to know what Carter has against her, Tariq and Monet are not clear in their answers.
Meanwhile, unwilling to take any chances, Noma tries to infiltrate Carter’s force, by offering Nico bribes. Nico refuses the offer, and informs Carter of the same. Carter, for his part, meets Noma, producing one of the most tense moments in Power Book II: Ghost season 4.
However, the meeting becomes yet another opportunity for the characters to sharpen their strategies. Noma offers to work with Carter to bring down Tariq, their common enemy. Carter takes the offer, though it is not certain if he will honor the arrangement, since Noma herself has a history of exploiting people solely for personal gains.
Who is Effie’s mother?
In the latest episode, the dynamic between Effie and Cane, soon to be married to Noma, remains ambiguous. It's almost unanimously acknowledged by the characters in Power Book II: Ghost season 4 that Noma is marrying Cane only for utilitarian purposes.
Cane, though, remains undeterred. But then, he also continues to be kind towards Effie, who has visibly developed feelings for him by now. Her tragic past makes her feelings all the more natural, as she has seldom had a taste of unconditional love.
Effie’s traumatic past has been teased before in the show. Her mother was an alcoholic, and she was s*xually molested by one of her mother’s boyfriends. In episode 8, her mother makes an appearance.
Effie is clearly an estranged daughter, and meeting her mother is not a pleasant experience. Moreover, when she doesn't get some money from Effie, she starts berating the latter.
What has Brayden got himself into?
In Power Book II: Ghost season 4, Brayden is seen to be in love with Elle. In episode 8, Elle has to be taken to the hospital following a cardiac arrest. This health emergency is the result of drugs that were contaminated with a poisonous substance, as Brayden learns from the doctor.
Enraged, he tracks down Elle’s supplier, Steve, and goes to confront him with Tariq. There, he brandishes his gun, beats Steve up, forces him to consume a large quantity of drugs and shoots him dead.
Brayden has been an unstable character in Power Book II: Ghost season 4, often making poor decisions. His handling of the Steve-affair displeases Tariq, who is afraid this rash act could come back to hurt them later on. Moreover, Brayden mentions his action to Elle, who becomes severely displeased with him.
The next episode of Power Book II: Ghost season 4 will be released on Starz on September 27, 2024.
