But what does this latest episode reveal about Tariq’s character, and what are the implications for the future of the series? Let’s delve into the most impactful moments and unpack the emotional rollercoaster we all experienced.
The Lion Awakens
The episode opened with Tariq consumed with grief after the violent death of his lover, Effie. This loss was a turning point, a catalyst that ignited a rage within him. The Tariq we witnessed was no longer the wide-eyed boy trying to navigate the shadows of the drug trade. He was a hardened criminal, driven by vengeance and the desire for power.
The scene where Tariq orchestrated the murders of Effie’s attackers sent shivers down our spines. The way he coldly exacted his revenge painted a stark picture of the monster he was becoming. But was this truly the monster, or was it the lion awakening in him, clawing its way out of the shadows?
Family Ties and Betrayals
The episode also shed light on the complex web of familial relationships within the St. Patrick clan. Tariq’s interactions with his mother, Tasha, reflected a growing distance, a chasm carved by betrayal and unspoken truths. Tasha, while trying to guide him towards a better path, couldn’t escape the past, unable to fully forgive the son who had become a replica of the man she had tried to escape from.
Meanwhile, Tariq’s relationship with his brother, Yaz, remained strained. Despite Yas’s genuine desire for normalcy, Tariq’s ruthless tactics pushed Yaz further away, exacerbating the already fractured sibling bond.
The Weight of the Throne
As Tariq climbed the ranks of the drug trade, he began to experience the burdens of leadership. The episode highlighted the moral dilemmas that come with power. Tariq found himself grappling with the responsibility of maintaining his reign, even if it meant making morally ambiguous choices. Every step he took further solidified his position as a leader, but the cost of that dominance, both personal and emotional, was becoming increasingly evident.
The episode’s climax, with Tariq coldly eliminating a rival gang leader, was a chilling testament to his transformation. He had become the king, but at what cost? The question of whether he would ultimately become a tyrant or a leader who could harness the power for good seemed to linger in the air.

Consequences and Uncertain Future
The episode ended with an unsettling twist. The revelation that Tariq’s younger brother, Yaz, had betrayed him, sent shockwaves through the viewers. The question that hung in the air was — could Yaz’s betrayal be the catalyst for Tariq’s downfall? Or would Tariq use this betrayal as a stepping stone to further solidifying his power?
The uncertainty of the future only adds to the gripping nature of the show. Each episode feels like a stepping stone leading toward an inevitable showdown, and we can’t help but wonder who will emerge victorious.
