She even goes as far as singling Tariq out during a class lecture on karma. But after reading a draft of Jabari’s novel, she seems confident that the murderer and the main character in Reynolds’s novel is Tariq St. At first she refuses, and considering that they accused her of killing Jabari, she has every right to ignore their request. They boldly seek the assistance of Carrie. They believe that the book is based on real-life events and people, which leads them back to Stansfield. With Zeke no longer a suspect, detectives Whitman and Tate turn to Jabari Reynolds’s novel to get closer to his killer. Monet, only caring about Zeke’s future (i.e., his chances to make the NBA Draft) and clearing his name, isn’t concerned about an explanation, whereas Mclean is. This happens without much additional information. However, when they arrive, the detectives have a change of heart and calmly explain that Zeke is no longer a suspect. Let’s get right into it.Īfter a terrible live interview with Jemele Hill, Zeke, Monet, and Mclean ride to the precinct to allow Zeke to turn himself in. We are midway through the season, and episode five gives us lots to think about before the season break. What makes matters worse is Dru thinks she was the one who made his father’s release happen. We might as well call this episode “What Monet Doesn’t Know!” because she definitely receives the shock of her life when she walks into her home and finds her convicted felon husband, Lorenzo Tejada, sitting at her dining-room table, laughing with their children. It wasn’t until she tried to punish Tariq by blocking him from being present at his sister’s custody hearing that Tariq dropped these back-to-back bombs on her. Monet was also unaware that it was Cane who sugared the coke, that it was Diana who took the money from the bar, and that Dru is still seeing Everett. In this episode, she admits to making costly mistakes, like leaving Zeke at the precinct while she was boo’d up with Mecca. Monet is somewhat aware of her shortcomings as a mother, though. Unlike Tasha and Raquel, Monet has yet to demonstrate the ability to be empathetic and nurturing. So last week I was so into the show that when Mecca told Monet he gifted her the $1 million to “protect their son,” I swore he was talking about Cane, and the whole time he was talking about ZEKE!! So now that we know Monet isn’t really Zeke’s aunt, but his mother, her struggles with motherhood make sense.
