Time has run out, and now Ghost must do the unthinkable if he plans to leave his criminal past behind him, and be the legit club owner he’s always wanted. In the Power season two finale titled “Ghost is Dead,” Ghost acts as a rogue soldier eliminating anyone that can tie him to his drug-smuggling past.
And while Ghost takes lethal actions to ensure his future and his businesses are secure, Dre sees his mentor in a different, more heinous light, and begins to re-evaluate whether staying loyal to a man who killed his own son, will yield any benefit.
Angela commits the ultimate betrayal against the only one who’s ever had her back to keep the man she loves out of prison, while Tommy learns it was Ghost who destroyed his relationship with Holly, bringing their 25 year friendship to an end.
