After the chaos and bloodshed of Episode 5, Power Book IV: Force Season 3 is barreling toward a full-scale war, and Episode 6 is poised to be the turning point. As alliances shift by the hour, secrets tightening like a noose, and Chicago’s criminal ecosystem on the brink of collapse, the next chapter promises to be one of the tensest of the season.
Aftermath of Claudia’s Death
Episode 6 will almost certainly open with the fallout from Tommy Egan Tommy Egan killing Claudia Flynn in the dark quiet of his loft. Claudia is gone, but the consequences of pulling that trigger are very much alive.
Her disappearance won't be clean. Claudia had federal eyes on her, political ties through Stacy, and dangerous connections across Chicago. When she suddenly goes off the grid, questions will erupt. Stacy Marks Stacy Marks, who used Claudia as a pawn, will immediately sense that something is off. She might not know exactly what happened, but she’ll know who is responsible.
As Tommy forced Stacy into a deal she never wanted, episode 6 may see her quietly planning her own counterstrike, one that doesn’t risk her campaign or career, but puts Tommy directly in her sights.
Meanwhile, Vic Flynn Vic Flynn will feel the impact the deepest. He tried calling Claudia moments before Tommy killed her. The missed call will haunt him, and when he learns she’s dead, grief will fuse with rage. He may not have wanted to work with her, but family is family—and the final Flynn standing will not let his sister’s murder go unanswered.
Episode 6 could be the moment Vic transforms from reluctant player into full-blown enemy.
Vic’s Alliance Mobilizes
In Episode 5, the Northern Irish crew made their intentions clear: they’re ready to take the North Side back from Tommy and CBI. With New York and Milwaukee soldiers agreeing to help, Episode 6 may show Vic beginning to assemble a small army.
Expect Vic to step into his father’s shadow something he never wanted but now feels obligated to do.
What will be most dangerous is Vic’s clarity. Unlike Walter Flynn, Vic doesn’t move with ego. He moves with precision. He watches. He thinks. He calculates. And with Claudia gone, he may finally cross the moral line he avoided in Season 1.
This time, he's not trying to escape the family legacy, he's trying to protect what’s left of it.
Episode 6 could see Vic planning his first coordinated hit, not on Diamond or Jannard, but on someone close to Tommy, someone whose death would hurt more than any territory lost.
Mireya’s Breaking Point
Perhaps the most emotionally explosive arc of Episode 6 will revolve around Mireya, the woman who is now pregnant with Tommy’s child. Episode 5 ended with her walking into the loft and seeing the blood and bullet holes, imagining the worst.
She didn’t tell Tommy about the baby.
She didn’t tell him where she went afterward.
She just vanished.
Episode 6 may reveal her trying to process everything: the danger surrounding Tommy, the baby she hadn't planned for, and the realization that the man she fell in love with is neck-deep in war.
Mireya might reach out to someone unexpected, possibly her brother Miguel, or even Diamond, trying to understand how to protect herself.
The looming question:
Will she leave Tommy to save her child, or stay and risk everything?
The emotional terrain of Episode 6 could be the setup for one of the season’s biggest heartbreaks.
CBI’s Quiet Civil War
Diamond Diamond and Jannard ended Episode 5 united, but tension is brewing beneath the surface. Episode 6 will likely explore the consequences of Diamond taking Jannard to meet Chay, a move Tommy would never co-sign.
Jannard, who has always wanted to run Chicago alongside his brother, is now closer to real power than he’s ever been. He may start pressing harder for decision-making authority, pushing boundaries, taking risks Diamond wouldn’t approve of.
The Weapons That Change Everything
If Episode 5 was a show of loyalty, Episode 6 might be the beginning of subtle betrayal.
Adding to that, the Yardies’ execution won’t remain hidden for long. Someone, some witness, some surviving ally, some connected crew, will start putting the pieces together. As Diamond tries pinning the massacre on the Marquez cartel, suspicion will inevitably shift back toward CBI.
This could force Diamond to question whether the war brewing with Vic is worth fighting when he’s losing control at home.
One detail Episode 5 slipped in almost quietly: CBI collected all the Yardies’ guns.
Expect Episode 6 to reveal what those weapons are really for.
If they are military-level, unregistered, or tied to international suppliers, they may not just give CBI firepower, they may give them leverage.
But they also make CBI a target. Whoever supplied those guns will want them back.
Episode 6 may introduce a brand-new antagonist, or reintroduce one from the larger Power universe, connected to the weapons pipeline.
This storyline could be the spark of an even larger war.
Tommy’s Next Move
Episode 5 ended with Tommy cleaning blood off his hands, literally and figuratively. In Episode 6, he’ll need to make moves quickly:
Cover up Claudia’s death
Calm Diamond about the Yardies hit
Figure out Vic’s next step
Protect Mireya
Keep the feds off him
Manage Stacy’s resentment
Maintain the Coalition’s expansion
But Tommy’s fatal flaw has always been the same: he reacts from emotion.
Losing Mireya, emotionally or physically, could be the one thing that destabilizes him more than any enemy.
