#Tariq and effie full

Lauren's body was found inside the car with a bag full of cash – which was likely staged by Effie, who was delivered Lauren by Brayden in the previous episode after Tariq had asked his college buddy to keep Lauren safe and get her out of town.Ĭane Tejada (Woody McClain), who wanted confirmation of Lauren's death (he put the hit out on Lauren after all), asked Brayden if everything had been handled – which the Weston student confirmed.Įffie, now with a firm grip on her man Tariq, seems to have the green light for their future relationship, but Tariq is smart and will be sure to find out that Brayden and Effie were the ones to set up Lauren. Later in the episode we learned that Tariq's college girlfriend Lauren Baldwin had indeed met her untimely death in what locals described as a car accident. But I think when he saw the clothes, he just saw he was swaggy.Related: Power Book II: Ghost star Michael Rainey Jr reacts to fandom's surprise turnaround Gianni: I think it is rebellion, but I also think when he met Tariq, personally, I think he just was like, “This kid is so fucking cool.” And he obviously doesn’t know everything about his life and what he’s gone through, what he’s had to go through. And why do you think that is? Do you think it’s kind of a bit of rebellion on his part? Or what do you think it is about that business he feels like he wants to be a part of it?

Brayden has always been drawn to the drug business. You really get to see him transform this season.Ĭool.

It’s just like you get to really see him become transformed this season. And especially this season, he’s going through so much more things, and everything that he’s going through just forces him to grow up so much. He’s sitting up and talking politely and everything like that.

#Tariq and effie professional

So it’s dope to kind of go through those switches of him being in the streets, having that little gangster, professional kind of mode, and then going to school. In Canonical Studies, he’s in there putting in work in the classroom. Michael: Yeah, I definitely enjoy just getting to be able to showcase how smart Tariq really is and how intellectual he is, not even just in the streets, even in school. So I just never want Brayden to lose the funness and the comedy. And there are people who like to make jokes, even if they are drug dealers. And I like that it’s kind of real because they are people too. They just show the darkness of the world. They would always say that there’s a funny guy. So I’ve also had this conversation with Courtney, where she would tell me and other people on set who live this life because there are a lot of guys from a place where they grew up with stuff like this happening. But when life hits you in the face, no pun intended, and you start getting into the darkness of that world, it does change who you are a little bit. I don’t want him to lose the funness and the comedy, and I don’t think he ever will. Gianni: I actually do love where Brayden is going. Gianni, can you guys speak to that growth and perhaps where you’d like to see or where you think Brayden is going moving forward? And he’s shown a lot of growth, from the kid that we met in Power to the grown-up, I guess you could say, we’re getting in college and such. And I think that’s going to be really exciting to see.īrayden, he’s a character. She shows a few different levels and what she can do and what she’s capable of. Alix: Yeah, I think we’ll definitely get to know her a little bit more, see her a little bit more.
