We pick up right back in the park, with Detective Howard and Raq hashing out their unfinished business during a late-night meeting. On his deathbed, Howard made a deal with God to right his wrongs. He decides to start with establishing a relationship with Kanan, even without Raq as a conduit. In a Hail Mary attempt to prevent the inevitable, she tries to deny he is the father, but Howard already verified paternity. He doesn't stop there. 

He also tells her he knows Kanan shot him, blowing up the lie he doesn't remember anything from that night. She can't strategize her way out of this and is ready to leave. But then he also reveals, Scrap is an informant. He wants her to know so she can protect Kanan. If her drug operation is in jeopardy, so is Kanan's life. 

Raq immediately consults with Lou and Marvin. They don't believe Scrap would ever give them up. He literally bled for them. However, they decide to investigate anyway just to be sure. Marvin starts by contacting Scrap, but he's suspiciously busy. When Marvin does get a hold of him, Scrap explains he was preoccupied hanging pictures for his cousin Ebony in Corona - doubtful at best. Then he gives an impassioned speech about loyalty, demanding he should run the 40 project franchise with Lou, not Worrell. Marvin placates him, but only so he can figure out if the informant accusation is true. 

Not one to leave any stone unturned, Marvin finds cousin Ebony. He poses as a handyman. Although he's well dressed, drives a Lexus, and doesn't have any tools, he still manages to squeeze the intel he needs out of her: she doesn't talk to any of her cousins and hasn't hung anything on her wall since 1982. 

Meanwhile, Kanan is finally trying to be a kid. He enjoys a movie night with Jukebox, who makes fun of him for crying during Cooley High. He's just an endearing teenager, not a murderer. 

His other best friend, Famous, is also facing adulthood. Depressed by his flailing rap career, he spends his days smoking weed and sleeping with white girls. His mother catches him in bed with an NYU student and kicks him out of the house. He enlists Kanan to help him sell his mixtapes to drum up rent money. While they're on the street trying to move the tapes, the cops harass them, and they end up with nothing. 

Lou's foray into the music business is a little more hopeful. Zisa, his new artist, brings in her manager and fake uncle, Cartier Duns Fareed, to negotiate a single deal with Lou and a less than excited Crown. 

Jess tells Lou about the job in Los Angeles, and his callous response only confirms she should go. In a teary-eyed farewell, she says goodbye to her family and heads west. 

Jukebox is on a mission to find her mother and asks for Detective Burke's help. Burke actually finds her. Jukebox's mother is very much alive and well, living in Harlem, twice divorced with no kids. She sees her mom coming out of an uptown brownstone but doesn't say anything… yet. 

While Marvin is handling the potential informant situation, Raq has to deal with a literal rat infestation. The bodega housing her cash is overrun with money-eating rats. The owner asks her why she isn't spending all this money. Raq doesn't tell her anything. Instead, she just orders her to hire an exterminator. 

Raq's plans become more apparent when she meets with a racist real estate agent. She wants to buy in Forest hills, Douglaston, or Little Neck - a pricer neighborhood. The agent unsuccessfully tries to guide her toward Hollis. Raq quickly ends the discussion and gives the broker clear instructions to find a home in the areas she wants.  

Howard's imminent encounter with Kanan is still looming. To discredit Howard, Raq tells Kanan that the 'crazy detective' may approach him, but he shouldn't believe anything he says. Kanan's left even more confused and scared. He's worried Howard will remember he shot him, which would send Kanan to prison for life. 

Unique is still suffering from Raq's isolation tactics. All of his attempts to start dealing again fail. His old connect wants nothing to do with him, and Worrell is working for Raq. But at his lowest, he becomes even more committed to a triumphant comeback, vowing no one will force him off the streets. 

In the final scene, Raq's wrath turns fatal for the first time this season. Detective Howard's warning and Marvin's interrogation are enough. She kills Scrap.
