Power Recap, Season 4 Ep. 4: “We’re In This Together”
Episode 4 of the fourth season of Power was crazy. Major spoilers ahead.
John Mak is pissed that Angela went behind his back to offer Ghost a plea deal. Now, he tasks her with falling in line, and speaking to Tasha in order to flip her for the prosecution. Angela tries to find common ground with Tasha through Jamie’s infidelity and myriad of lies. Angela tells Tasha about the plea deal (Which Tasha had no clue about). Tasha disses Angela and later visits Ghost to demand he keep her in the loop with any future plans that can affect her or the kids.
Proctor and Silver are working overtime to suppress evidence of the gun. Silver questions Ghost about the gun and gets Ghost to react angrily, which is what Silver wants to avoid. This “Angry Black Man” defense would surface later as during the motion to suppress, Proctor calls Donovan to the stand and implicates him as the mole, citing the timeline and that Donovan was the only person to sign off on the warrant and find the gun. Donovan breaks on the stand, and eventually the motion gets tossed.
Unfortunately, Proctor performed his job too well. Mak filed a motion to remove Proctor from the case, because of an apparent conflict of interest as he represents Tommy and Ghost. Mak has evidence that Proctor and Tommy have met during the trail. Judge Tapper agrees and now Proctor can no longer “officially” represent Ghost. Silver will have to finish the job, now.

This isn’t the only problem for Joe Proctor. During a meeting with Markham to determine the severity of the wire taps and possibly collaborating to exonerate Ghost and Knox, Tommy kills Markham after it was suggested that Ghost should flip on him. Markham has the wire taps of Tommy killing Ruiz and implicating himself and Ghost in the death of Lobos. Tommy killed Markham in Proctor’s apartment to automatically make them accomplices. If Tommy waited one second, he’d know that this death was unnecessary, but he wouldn’t be Tommy if he wasn’t reckless.
In a drunken rage, Proctor visits Angela to “thank’ her for getting him thrown off the case and possibly disbarred. He tells Angela that Ghost went against his own advice and would rather save Angela than himself, and that there’s no way Jamie killed Knox. Angela reviews the security footage and sees that Ghost never planted the gun in his office. It finally hits her that Ghost did not kill Knox and he’s being framed! Will Angela save Ghost or let him get the needle?
Power Points
Dre is still building distrust between Julio and Tommy. Julio still doesn’t have Tommy’s full respect, but has all of Tommy’s suspicion. Who knows what will happen next.
Teresi and Ghost have a moment where Ghost reveals what he knows about his wife and past. The blackmail will cease, and Teresi has to watch his back.
Tariq is still a stick up kid for Kanan, and apparently getting deeper into his criminal ways. What is Kanan’s endgame?
