Tommy and Tasha person yet heard each different retired aft the events of Power’s last season. In the play 3 finale of Power Book II: Ghost, the erstwhile champion friends hashed it retired implicit LaKeisha’s decease and called a truce. HollywoodLife spoke EXCLUSIVELY with Joseph Sikora astir Tommy’s reconciliation with Tasha successful the finale and whether it’s really for real.
“You know, it’s truly interesting. The way that it went down was astonishing to maine successful the Power amusement due to the fact that they were truthful tight,” helium said. “Tommy and Tasha shared this brother-sister relationship. We had specified large chemistry successful that familial way, Naturi [Naughton] and I did, truthful I was bittersweet to spot that determination was going to beryllium nary much 420s, that determination was going to beryllium nary much Tommy and Tasha Mustang times oregon the backstage times betwixt them similar going to get shots astatine the Irish bar.”

He continued, “But erstwhile it did get down to the nitty-gritty, Tommy did emotion LaKeisha. I deliberation that was the miss for him. I deliberation that she did evidently take her lad archetypal and foremost, but I deliberation Tommy was acceptable to judge that that was his spot successful that relationship. It truly wounded him that it was Tasha who killed her evidently and that Tommy didn’t privation to cognize each of those details successful the last 5 episodes of the Power show. We saw those 5 antithetic perspectives of benignant of the aforesaid day. Tommy didn’t privation to perceive that LaKeisha was going to rat retired everybody possibly, that she did motion the papers. We arsenic an assemblage saw LaKeisha not bash everything that Tasha said that she did, truthful we knew that it wasn’t each true. So you wonderment what the information is, and I deliberation that if I learned thing from those 5 episodes is that the information lies determination successful the grey area. So with Tommy and Tasha, is that reconciliation real? Is it a reconciliation? Is it a truce? Because a truce implies that determination volition beryllium a final. There’s lone a victor and a loser. A existent combat volition continue. Is this a pause? So I’m not definite what that world is, and I thought Brett Mahoney did a truly large occupation of mounting up that anticipation of going either way.”
But does Tommy spot Tasha? Can helium ever truly spot her again? Joseph weighed successful connected those questions. “I deliberation that Tommy has to conflict with that trust,” the histrion said. “Part of what I anticipation was portrayed onscreen is I tried to bring with maine Tommy’s conscionable this full utter overwhelming situation, conscionable close astatine that point. He’s bringing Chicago with him. He’s bringing a caller household with him. I mean, helium tells her that he’s got a brother. He’s got a nephew. He has an existent family. But astatine the aforesaid time, he’s dealing with the contiguous moment. That’s Tommy. That’s wherefore we emotion Tommy, right? When Tommy is talking to you, he’s talking to you. I admit that due to the fact that I effort to beryllium similar that successful my existent life, but I’m not arsenic axenic arsenic Tommy is. I deliberation that there’s a immense magnitude of conflict. I thought that you get a batch with a little. I enjoyed erstwhile the camera was truly choky connected Tommy. You could spot that determination was thing reasoning there. There was a batch going connected successful his mind. I’m excited to spot what happens. I’m excited to spot if Tariq ever makes it retired to Chicago.”
Before Tasha knocked Tariq retired and saved Tommy, it seemed similar Tariq mightiness really propulsion the trigger connected his Uncle Tommy conscionable similar helium did with his father.

“I mean, I deliberation of it similar this: erstwhile you deliberation of the privileged, I deliberation that it’s the privileged that get distant with being a small spot much sociopathic than astir radical realize,” Joseph noted. “You deliberation of those the CEOs of these corporations who conscionable person radical listed arsenic nameless numbers. They’re doing a batch much harm than the 1 idiosyncratic who’s warring the strategy from the outside. They are the strategy and they crush and kill, and a batch of that comes retired of privilege and non-existential beingness successful a batch of ways. Now that Tariq is existentially viewing the streets and surviving successful those streets, I deliberation he’s surviving and learning and becoming a antithetic idiosyncratic than helium would person otherwise.”
Tommy bid farewell to New York and Tariq erstwhile again earlier heading backmost to Chicago. Tommy volition marque his triumphant instrumentality successful play 2 of Power Book IV: Force, which volition beryllium released aboriginal this year. Joseph revealed that he’s thrilled to person Gary Lennon backmost arsenic showrunner, who besides ran Power backmost successful the day.
“The mitt fits perfectly. If there’s a mitt for this hand, it’s Gary Lennon,” Joseph said. “He’s conscionable truly got the ins and outs of the character. And that doesn’t mean that you spot Tommy swimming, soaring, and winning. You spot Tommy groveling and pushing and pulling and getting knocked backmost down — but getting backmost up. It’s Power. It’s the Power show, and the powerfulness is backmost successful season 2 of Power Book IV.

Joseph besides revealed that the ending of Ghost play 3 sets up Tommy’s arc successful Force play 2. “It sets Tommy up successful a mode that he’s got a batch further to spell than helium thought helium did,” the histrion teased. “I deliberation that what we saw was Tommy landing connected his feet a batch successful play 1 of Power Book IV and getting to the apical for each intents and purposes beauteous fast. But erstwhile there’s lone 1 absorption to go, and it’s consecutive down. I deliberation we saw a batch of that successful the finale of our archetypal play directed by Deon Taylor, arsenic was the finale of our 2nd season, which I deliberation is simply a truly large occurrence arsenic well. You spot Tommy acold much gathering and reasoning and losing. You spot him having to deliberation differently.”
He added, “I truly deliberation that the assemblage is conscionable going to emotion play 2. Chicago is going to emotion play 2. There’s a immense Mexican-Puerto Rican beingness present successful it due to the fact that that’s truly typical of Chicago’s assemblage and culture. We person specified a diversification of the African American colonisation successful Chicago from the South Side to the West Side. It’s conscionable expanded and conscionable has a overmuch truer authenticity that I deliberation the assemblage is going to conscionable soak up excavation and emotion and beryllium connected the thrust with Tommy.”
