In the season&#8217;s first eight episodes, Emmett (Jacob Latimore) and Kiesha&#8217;s (Birgundi Baker) blissful blended union is tested by his perilous partnership with Douda, (Curtiss Cook), who is dealing with the fallout of Q&#8217;s murder and its effect on the shifting loyalty of his inner circle. Victor&#8217;s (Luke James) tangled past impacts his new role as city councilman.

Kevin (Alex Hibbert) landed a big gaming opportunity in Los Angeles, leaving behind Maisha (Genesis Denise Hale) to fight for her own big career move in spite of manager Jemma&#8217;s (Judae&#8217;a Brown) newly divided attentions.
