It’s interesting to see the dynamic between Raq and Symphony. Raquel’s corner boy takes him all through Southside and crosses the invisible finish line without a scuff on his brand-new Jordans!
Besides the fact he had on hard-bottom shoes, remember, he has a serious form of leukemia. We also find out why Detective Howard struggled to keep up with one of Raquel’s men. The struggling rookie cop takes a tumble straight to the ground and gets teased for telling the young man to “grab the wall” (yeah, it’s impossible to do). And what makes a drug bust even more thrilling to watch? You guessed it: When the drug dealers outrun or outsmart the know-it-all cops. You can’t have a crime drama centered around the drug game without a drug bust. Whew! (* Pauses to take a breath*) But wait, there’s even more. Kanan kisses Davina (eye roll), and Raquel and Symphony have lots of hot passionate sex to the tunes of Jodeci. With an ego as big as his, his diagnoses can potentially be the cause for him to act ruthless or even more corrupt in upcoming episodes. Detective Howard is diagnosed with leukemia (so soon in the season, shit!) and we find out he basically has no family, so that still leaves us confused how he is connected to Raquel.
She also gives Detective Howard some hot tea regarding Unique and his team’s whereabouts. (How this isn’t a conflict of interest, I don’t know.) Raq continues to be sneaky by partnering up with Smurf. We find out Unique and Raq share the same connect. “Stick and Move” introduces us to three new characters. Whoa! If you blinked your eyes one too many times, you may have missed some major and minor details in this episode.
