The Most Shocking Moments of 50 Cent's 'Power' Franchise

“Power” was always going to end with Ghost’s death (that’s how mob shows usually work). Having Tariq be the killer was a real gut punch to viewers who’d become deeply invested in the complex St. Patrick family dynamics.

It was so surprising that Tasha would return to be involved in her son’s life. The shock of seeing her again was more about in demand actress Naturi Naughton having time to come back and wrap up her character’s story.

We all knew Kanan was ruthless and never to be trusted, but killing his own son as part of a plot against Ghost was low even for him.

If you plan to have any sort of happy ending in the “Power” universe, you’re essentially signing your death warrant. It also doesn’t help to be romantically involved with Tommy Egan because that hasn’t ended well for any woman.

When Tariq was arrested, he received a letter from his dead ffather. If you were expecting a deep, emotional scene, sorry this absolutely was not the moment for you.

Fans definitely felt some type of way about Unique’s death. Thankfully, Joey Bada$$ felt the same way and everyone got a surprise at the end in the Season 3 finale.

One of the reasons Ghost was able to stay in power so long was because he tried to keep emotion out of his business decisions. When he was in prison, the stress of everything he’d been holding in got to him, he snapped and beat a guard to death. Even by “Power” standards, it was a shocking outburst of rage.

It’s not easy being the child of a drug queenpin, especially when it’s the fierceMonet Tejada. Fed up with her mother’s BS, Diana went scorched Earth at a family dinner and revealed everyone’s secrets.

This one hit even harder after we watched them grow up together on “Raising Kanan.” Jukebox never failed to have his back and do horrible things to help his empire, so in retrospect it was heartbreaking.

No one cried any tears over Walter’s death, he was always destined to die horribly. What made it so surprising was that Vic did the deed himself after working with his sister to have their father ambushed.

Loyalty is the common thread among all the series. Theo takes that to new levels when he kills Cooper Saxe to avenge his brother’s betrayal. After he handles that piece of business, he takes his own life.

There’s no way a man like Kanan was going to peacefully surrender and go to jail. That was never how his story was going to end.

Tommy Egan is not a good guy, so it wasn’t a shock that his girlfriend’s attempt to kill Ghost sent him into a murderous rage. It was the fact that she was pregnant that made it even worse.

As awful as they are, you can at least understand why some deaths are necessary to the storyline of the season. Raina’s death will always feel senseless.
