'Power' season 5 finale: Starz show does the unthinkable as Ghost learns he is actually powerless

Tommy is tired of Ghost's shadiness and has decided to take matters into his own hands and to not get manipulated by him again. Where does that leave us?
PUBLISHED SEP 10, 2018

SPOILER ALERT  

If you’re looking for some answers after watching season 5 finale of ‘Power,’ you have come to the right place. First it was the unimaginable death of Kanan (portrayed by 50 Cent), the death of Tommy’s (portrayed by Joseph Sikora) birth father at his own hands and in Sunday night’s episode, [seriously, turn back now if you haven’t watched the finale] it was the unintended bullet that killed Angela (portrayed by Lela Loren) that has truly made us consider the possibility of ‘When This Is Over.’ 

That is exactly where the show is headed, with everyone around Ghost (portrayed by Omari Hardwick) falling like flies. The last few episodes of season 5 foreshadow the remainder of the show, in which Ghost will finally learn that he has no control over the things he thought he did. He first got a taste of powerlessness in season 4 when his daughter Raina (portrayed by Donshea Hopkins) died.
