‘Power Book IV: Force’: Tariq Could Appear in the Season 1 Finale
Fans have been captivated by the first season of Power Book IV: Force. Though we knew how he moved in New York City, Tommy Egan (Joseph Sikora) has made a name for himself in Chicago. Following the death of his best friend and business partner, James “Ghost” St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick), Tommy moved to the Windy City to start a new chapter of his life. So far, he has been entangled with the Irish mob, led by the Flynn family and Chicago Brothers Incorporated (CBI), a gang that runs the south side of the city.
As the first season of Force comes to a close, fans are wondering if Power Book II: Ghost star Michael Rainey Jr. will appear in the finale as Tariq St. Patrick.
‘Power Book II: Ghost’ could cross over with ‘Power Book IV: Force’
Tariq has been trying to navigate the drug game on his own. In Power Book II: Ghost, Tariq relied heavily on his mother’s guidance. However, now that he’s found himself entangled with the Tejada family, he might need some guidance from someone he trusts, his uncle Tommy.
Tommy disowned his nephew for killing his Ghost, so the pair aren’t exactly on good terms at the moment. However, that could change.
“I can’t tell you [if Tariq will seek out Tommy], but you know he’s definitely going to need uncle Tommy’s help at a point,” Sikora said via Express. Since Ghost and Force are set in the same time period, this doesn’t seem too far-fetched, especially since Tommy appeared in the season one finale of the show.”
Power universe creator Courtney A. Kemp has explained that she’s not against crossovers, but she does want each show to stand alone.
Tariq could appear in the season 1 finale
Though Tommy did not appear in the second season of Ghost, there is still an opportunity for Tariq to show up in the Force Season 1 finale.
“I think there’s no reason that Tariq couldn’t be on the Tommy show,” Sikora told Bevy Smith on her Bevelations podcast. “Because if anybody can find Tommy, I think that the incredible ability of Tariq may be able to track him down even better than the feds. We never know what Tariq has up his sleeve.”
“But yes, that is definitively why we call it the Power universe and not the Power world,” he continued. “I think the Power world existed within the five boroughs of New York, really, and the Power universe expands beyond that. And that is where Tommy is living right now, and it took somebody to progress that story out of New York, and who better than the favorite son of Queens, Tommy Patrick Egan.”
The ‘Power Book IV: Force’ Season 1 finale will be delayed
The penultimate episode of Force Season 1 is titled “Trust.” It’s scheduled to air on Starz on April 10, 2022.
When Force wraps up for the season on April 17, it will be six months before we get another Power universe series.
