Episode 1 – The Stranger

The first episode of the season kicks off with the introduction to St. Patricks. It also introduces the character of Tasha who is currently in the process of fighting a trial. She crosses paths with Tameika Robinson who tells Tasha that is only way out of this mess is to practice self-defense. When Tasha poses her argument describing the ghost as a smiling sociopath, nobody buys into her tale.

Upon witnessing the failure, Tasha fires Tameika and she starts suspecting Tariq behind the demise of the ghost. Forwarding the events, things escalate back to Stansfield University where Tariq takes admission and then moves in with the star basketball player, Ezekiel.

The reason behind the move was that Tariq was expected to train and teach Ezekiel to help him land a good grade in these studies. Failing to score good scores could later cost Ezekiel his position in the team, which is why he can’t compromise on that anymore.

Tariq is thus appointed as a mentor for Ezekiel’s studies. But, with a few misunderstandings later, Tariq shows up to a test that he didn’t have any idea about. Since he was unprepared for the test, he fails the test but later gets a chance from the professor who allows him to give the test again where he passes it. 

Soon in the episode, things start to get ugly when strings are associated with the drug mafia. Tameika soon gets to know that one of her ex-worker was present at Truth the day Ghost died. Upon knowing this, Tariq starts to threaten Saxe that he would testify about them being present at Truth the day of the incident.

Episode 2 – Exceeding Expectations

The episode picks up from the first episode where Tasha meets up with her investigators and lawyers. With a sudden slip of the tongue, she refers to her dead husband as Ghost which raises some concerns among the lawyers. They try to figure out who Tasha is.

On the flip side, Prof. Milgram decides to throw a surprise on St. Patrick to help Tariq mourn the sad demise of his father. 

In the meanwhile, Milgram, and Jabar get into a series of arguments where a lot of hidden secrets are unfurled. But, as luck would have it, their heated argument turns into them making passionate love to each other.

To get things back to normal for himself, Tariq attends a family dinner night with Zeke’s family where he meets Uncle Frank. 

With everything going on, the day of the funeral draws near too. Tasha is expected to give a eulogy on the day of the funeral and she reaches the spot in the FBI van, dressed like no one expected.

But, with the opposition so high and people not wanting her to address anything in remembrance of Ghost, Tate steps up and says that he’d do it instead. But, Tariq takes it to himself and says that he’d serve the eulogy himself.

Tariq delivers a heartfelt speech, filled with his thoughts and emotions, leaving all the attendees sad. He further clarifies that even though his father was a sad man, Ghost was never the manifestation of his father’s character. Later, Tasha walks up to Tariq to hug and reassure him.

Tasha further warns Tariq that he doesn’t have to sell drugs to earn money for the legal battles, saying that she doesn’t want her son behind the bars. To that, Tariq assures her that he has found a safer alternative.

Episode 3 – Play the Game

This is the episode that things start to pick up from. The episode starts with Tasha being taken out of her cell and dressed for the courtroom. She soon realises that everything was staged for her to prepare for the final deal. During the trial run, they do keep a check on things and try to look out for all the nitty gritties and basics.

Meanwhile, things take a turn for the worse at Stansfield University where Tariq gets into a verbal altercation with a professor. After the fight, Lauren walks up to Tariq to explain to him that he needs to be in favor of the professor to score good grades.

Later in the episode, another essential plot change was with Monet when he approaches Cane and Dre to put a stop to one of their online businesses. This soon leads to threats and altercation wherein Cane takes out his gun and shoots at the ceiling.

Episode 4 – The Prince

To ensure that his mother Tasha gets the best legal advice and support, Tariq knew that he had to find the best way to earn money. In a quest for that, he decides to approach Simmons where he reaches out to her husband to pitch the idea that he had all along.

In his idea, he talks about an application that would have the dual option of not just delivering drugs but online tutors to the students. Upon liking the idea of the app, Tariq informs Bash that he needs the payment to be done in hard cash and no cheques or other digital means.

Tariq and Bash strike a deal behind Simmons back. With everything finalised, Tariq and Brayden hire smart students who can help them tutor students and at the same time, helps them deliver drugs too.

They later make the project even more hidden by assigning code names for the drugs. With everything going smoothly, Saxe starts being suspicious of Tariq’s earnings. She sends over her niece to a party to further investigate but she doesn’t get any idea of things happening around.

Episode 5 – The Gift of the Magi

The last episode of the series is what ends things on a good note. It packs in a lot of surprises and ends with an adult Tariq who has a surprise birthday party thrown for him.

In the meanwhile, Tasha’s lawyers manage to prove her innocence but things soon take a turn for the worse when all the blame is passed on to Tariq instead. Tariq, who doesn’t have any idea about Tasha’s lawyer’s plans, is blindsided by everything as he tries to prove Monet his loyalty.

The last episode is packed with twists and turns that no one expected from the get-go. It has every last element that will make you want to tear your hair apart and cuss at the characters in question.

Do I need to watch Power before Ghost?

If you haven’t watched Power, we’d recommend that you do so before starting Ghost. The reason is simple. Ghost’s plot is a continuation of Power, which means that if you don’t have any idea about what happened in the previous installment, you won’t have an idea about the things unfolding in the successor show.

Spoilers ahead. In Power, Tariq St. Patrick’s mother and father are depicted as ghosts. And, while this does seem straightforward, you’d need to watch the first season to be able to understand things for what it is.

Where can I watch Power Book 2 Ghost Season 1?

All the seasons and episodes of Power Book are available for streaming on Hulu in the United States. There is very limited information regarding the streaming rights of the show internationally and in other countries.

However, at this point, if you are in the U.S. and want to watch Power Book, the entire show and the episodes are available for streaming on Hulu. You’d need an active subscription to be able to watch the show though. Also, if you have VPN, you can change location to the U.S. and then watch the show seamlessly from there.

Is Power Book 2 worth watching?

Sometimes, you need a little pick me up and a good show offers just that. Power Book 2 is a worthy watch without any questions asked. There are some expected twists and turns, which are highly predictable but even with that, the flow of the episodes is quite refreshing.

When you watch the events unfold and skip to the next scene, nothing about it seems forced, which is one of the reasons why most of the audience remains hooked.

That said, some viewers have reported that they found some parts of this show a little boring and dragged out. So, it comes down to the fact that each to their own.
