Tommy is learning quick fast being the boss isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. Julio asks Tommy why the product shipments from Lobos are so light?
Tommy does his best to explain why the shipments are so light to Julio. Julio then comes up with the idea that maybe they should cut up the product that way it would make everyone happy. Tommy was like:
Still obviously mad Julio went to his former friend now enemy Ghost, Tommy quickly lets Julio know that wouldn’t be a good look for business. Tommy lets Julio know who’s the boss and tells him to let him do the thinking.
Tasha heads to Tommy’s apartment to deliver the check on Ghost’s behalf. She is pleasantly surprised and disgusted by Holly opening the door.
Holly tries to quickly dismiss Tasha by telling her that Tommy doesn’t want nothing to do to her. That is until Tasha pulls out that check.
Holly eyes immediately widen at the sight of money and she reaches for the check. Tasha quickly pulls the check back and tells her she will find out how much the check is worth when Tommy gets it. Tasha puts the check back in her bag leaving Holly looking real salty.
Mike is secretly pressed trying to keep Lobos out of anymore trouble. He meets up with Lobos’ right-hand man Hugo to let him know exactly whats going on.
Mike asks for help in taking care of the assassin that tried to take out Lobos. Mike explains that they led people to believe that the Jemenez were behind the attack to tie up loose ends. BUT if they find out who the assassin is he can finger Ghost and Ghost will testify against Lobos. Unfortunately Hugo isn’t trying to hear it and says if that happens then Mike will be the one with the problem not Lobos. Mike basically didn’t really care for the threat and reacted like:
Mike makes his case as being a friend to Lobos but Hugo lets Mike know that:
1.He is on his own like Patti LaBelle
2.They will not help him.
3.Do his job or there will be no options left for him.
Tasha links with her home girl LaKeisha for some much-needed girl talk. She spills the tea on her current situation with Ghost, the kids and Angela.
Of course LaKeisha isn’t here for Tasha allowing her kids going to Angela’s house calling her a “drive by”.
Tasha quickly emphasizes that Ghost has officially parked and that she’s only allowing this because of the kids. She jokes that if there were no kids she would have already pushed Angela down a flight of stairs.
LaKeisha then notices that Tasha is missing her wedding ring, Tasha informs her bff that she pawned it cause it was time to let go. LaKeisha immediately takes the move as an act of desperation asking if Tasha is strapped for cash and if she need a job. Tasha insists she is good for now but if she ever needed that gig she would gladly take LaKeisha up on her offer.
We catch up with James not Ghost doing his nightclub owner thing. His very attractive hostess Dominique points out that there some big spenders in the building.They also purchased numerous bottles of Effen Vodka, that’s right 50 get those plugs in.
James of course as the owner makes it his business see who these “high-rollers” are.
He introduces himself to Andy and Albee who seem like two pretentious guys, who just like to spend money. James invites them to his new club Verbatim that’s opening very soon and will have the mega popular DJ Taj spinning at the re-launch party.
The two gladly accept James invitation, keep these two in your memory banks cause we will be revisiting them later. We finally get back into the James and Andre dynamic and Dre is growing very impatient with his new boss.
Andre feels James is keeping him out of the loop and questions him about the bloody card he found in his desk. While he was inside Dre reveals to James he knows the significance of receiving one of those cards. He jumps to the conclusion that both him and James are deep trouble and wonders if that was the reason why James asked if Dre was strapped. Dre tells James that he’s down for the cause and if he needs something done to let him know and it will “get done”. James tells Andre that the only thing he wants him to do is to go down stairs and get back to work and if he needs him he will tell him.
Dre of course is not really buying it, but has no choice. I guess the revisit to the card got James thinking about Lobos again and reaches out to Tommy again.
Speaking of our guy Tommy, looks like Tasha was able to track the new boss down on behalf of her ex-husband. Tasha and Tommy meet up at a diner so Tasha can deliver the check to him.
Tommy is clearly there for one thing only and that is his money. He’s not even trying to eat any food which is quite incredible cause he’s always stuffing his face. The conversation between the two former friends gets heated very quickly. Tasha asks Tommy why does he have beef with her? He then reveals that he knows about Ghost and Tasha setting up Kanan and not telling him for 10 years. Tasha then brings up the fact that Tommy knew about Ghost dealing with Angela and didn’t tell her about it. She points out that in keeping the Kanan information from him they were doing what was best for him. Tommy didn’t receive that too well and fired back by saying that Ghost sleeping with Angela he was doing what was best for Tasha.
Welp that was all Tasha needed to hear for the meeting to end. She throws Tommy’s check at him and then points out that in both their cases Ghost was doing what was best for him.
We switch back to poor Dre who is still trying to get used to this “legit life”. Andre was tasked with helping DJ Taj set up for his set at the relaunch party of James new spot Verbatim. That tasked turned out to be very taxing for Dre.
DJ Taj turns out to be a supreme diva making a boatload of requests one being to have the DJ booth moved to the center of the dance floor. Dre tells the obnoxious jerk he will try but of course Taj is not trying to hear the word try. He proceeds to put his hands on Dre telling him to make it happen or he will not be performing there. Dre immediately looked at Taj like:
Taj clearly doesn’t know who is messing with, thankfully James walks in at the right moment before Dre does any bodily harm to the DJ for disrespecting him.
James quickly defused the situation and agrees to Taj’s ridiculous demands. Taj being the dick that he is “thanks” James and leaves and blows a kiss at Dre. Dre points out Taj’s diva tendencies to James which are but not limited to not shaking hands, a fresh quart of orange juice and his assistant holding the bottle while he drinks it. Dre hilariously asks if Taj thinks he’s Beyoncé or something?
James again tries to calm down the young firecracker and explain to him sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
He explains to Dre he can’t show him a gun and expect him to do what you want to do. You can clearly tell it’s going in one ear and out the other still. James then remembers he forgot to get Taj to sign the contract and runs after him. He is stopped in his tracks by a text from Proctor telling him to meet him at Truth. James then ask if Dre could handle the task for him instead. Of course Andre eager to do anything else that’s not club related asks James what’s up ? James immediately gave Dre this look:
SMH! Dre quickly gets the message though from the look on James face. Tommy in the meanwhile meets with the racist ass Koreans again. It seems they are not too happy with receiving half of the shipments they were originally promised by Tommy.
Now for some reason the head honcho speaks in Korean requiring his hot-headed son to translate most of the time in his own interpretation and then some parts in English.Tommy basically wants to know what’s the issue since he’s well aware he’s delivering half the product and taking half the money. Jae Shin clarifies his issue with the setup is that he’s not making a profit and risks losing control of his territory. Jae Shin’s son insists that maybe they should go back to their old supplier instead. Tommy quickly remedies the situation by agreeing to throw in a couple of extra kilos on the house.
