So, we won’t be catching any new episodes of Power until sometime in 2020. But Sunday night’s, “No One Can Stop Me” left us with so many questions, a classic cliffhanger, and quite possibly the answer as to how Ghost got here. Let’s get into it!
Ghost is officially on the Gubernatorial ticket for the state of New York. Put aside the plausibility and the fact that he passed a background check for a moment. When Ramona calls Ghost to tell him the news she said two things that stood out to me and anyone who has been watching Power from the jump.
She says, “your whole life is about to change” and “I believe in you James.” Does that sound like anyone we might know? Of course Ramona is the physical embodiment of all the things Angie couldn’t be. The show tells us as much later in the episode when Ghost has that conversation with Angie in his mind.
Go all the way back to season one. This is what Ghost has always wanted. Power (pun intended) through legitimate means. Despite having to commit crimes to become legit.
The opening of Truth was about cleaning money, sure, but the way he approached handling the business suggested he wanted something more. Despite having done and continuing to do A LOT of dirt. A life of crime is not what he wanted long-term.
During one of our early season recaps I likened Ghost to Michael Corleone trying to go legit in the Godfather trilogy. Twitter user and recap fan @haiku7pc said the same last week.
