Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 3 episode 5 is out, and we are back with the recap and ending explanation. This episode also marks the midseason finale of season 3, and it's all about Raq and her family trying to create a new life for themselves away from the mafia world.
Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 3 episode 5 is titled Brothers and Keepers, and it features some major issues between the brothers Ronnie and Unique that would not end well for the latter.
Kanan's business also suffers when Famous gets arrested. And the news of Dean's murder spread among the Queens, worrying Famous.
On the other hand, the episode went pretty well for our girl Jukebox, who has bonded well with the new girl from her dance practice, Iesha.
Marvin is visibly proud of her daughter, Jukebox, and the two share a better equation in this episode.
Lou Lou is successful in opening his new bar, which is flooded with people having fun around, and that gives hope to his new business venture.
Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 3 episode 5 Highlights:
1: Ronnie and Unique
Ronnie, as from the beginning, remains quiet and lives in his head, giving off the impression that he is planning something big. He is visibly upset with his brother Unique and refuses Unique's offer when he gets him some work in their Chinese food shop.
This tension between the two adds up by the end of the episode and results in a deadly fight. (More on this later.)
2: Kanan's worried about his business
Now that Kanan is forced to live with Raq in her house, he is upset as it is slowing down his business, and he has to rely on Famous for the business to get done.
When Famous gets arrested, it only frustrates Kanan even more, so much so that he did not even go to check on him. This upset his best friend, Famous.
Ronnie gets hold of Kanan and asks him who he is working for, thinking he's working for Unique, but Kanan avoids him.
3: Famous worried about Dean's murder
After Famous got arrested, he was enquired about his relation to Dean's murder. Famous denies and gets out of the investigation anyway, but is tensed about the dangers awaiting him for murdering Dean.
He confesses to Kanan, upon which Kanan tells him to speak of it to anyone again. Kanan is also worried that this could affect his drug supply business.
4: Raq gets called for investigation.
From the start, we see how Raq tries to mend her relationship with Kanan, but all in vain.
She even gets warned by the lady officer who came to check on Kanan that Raq will lose Kanan's custody if Kanan is not home during her next visit.
Other than this, while Raq is struggling with her new life and thinking over ways to make money, it does not help when she suddenly gets called by the FBI for an investigation.
Raq goes for the investigation with her lawyer, but it's nothing serious for now.
5: Lou Lou's new venture
Lou Lou is finally able to open his bar with a fresh start and fresh people.
He gets word about the opening of the bar through the radio, and everyone from his family to friends shows up, except Raq.
While Lou Lou thinks Raq is not coming on purpose, it's actually because she got called in for an investigation right when she was leaving for the bar opening.
The Lou Lou and Raq equations remain the same.
6: Jukebox's new friend
Jukebox finds a new friend for herself, Iesha, from her dance practice group. It starts when Iesha struggles with the dance steps, and Jukebox jumps in for help. They both practice together for longer hours, bonding in between.
Saying that the two are just friends is contradictory, as Jukebox seems to have feelings for Iesha.
7: Ronnie kills Unique
Though the brothers had tension brewing between them from the start, things got really ugly when Ronnie spoke about Unique being with Raq to his girlfriend.
When Unique's girlfriend confronts Unique about it, he gets agitated and goes to Ronnie.
Ronnie and Unique get into a fight, one that doesn't end well. Right when Unique's about to leave after a short fist fight, Ronnie grabs a rod and hits his brothers enough to get him unconscious, smeared in blood.
The episode ends with Ronnie pushing Unique's body into a dark place.
Summary
Unique's exit (though we are not sure, we only saw him unconscious smeared with blood) really builds up the story of Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 3 episode 5 as it should, leaving fans on a cliffhanger wondering what the other half of the season holds.
Well, the next important date is January 5, 2024, for the episode titled ‘Into the Darkness'. Till then, be with us, as we will share the spoilers and recap for the next episode once it's out.
