SPOILER ALERT: The following interview reveals major plot points from the Season 2 finale of Starz’ Power Book II: Ghost.
The Starz drama Power Book II: Ghost wrapped up its second season on Sunday with a reminder that there is no room for the virtuous in this universe. Not since the murder of Tariq St. Patrick’s (Michael Rainey Jr) twin sister Raina (Donshea Hopkins) in Season 4 of Power, has a death effectively conveyed how easy it is to lose an innocent, avenge their death, and then find a way to move on and continue to live in this grey area where only money and power matter.
But, will the death of Ezekiel “Zeke” Cross (Daniel Bellomy),—in tonight’s episode, “Love and War”— serve as the force to tilt the axis towards betterment?
Zeke was murdered in cold blood by Lorenzo Tejada (Berto Colon) in a case of mistaken identity as the former walked up the steps of a private jet to get away after the drama the followed the revelation that his aunt Monet (Mary J. Blige) was really his birth mother. Lorenzo thought he was taking down Season 2 baddie Dante “Mecca” Spears (Daniel Sunjata), Zeke’s recently revealed father.
In less tragic news, Monet shot Mecca right between the eyes and sent him on his way to a flaming hot afterlife. Lorenzo is frazzled when a breaking news report reveals Mecca was found dead in his own apartment.
Bellomy spoke with Deadline, in a true post mortem, to discuss Zeke’s journey in the series, whether or not he could or should return in flashbacks, and when he found out his character’s fate.
