Too many twists played out in the latest episode of ‘Your Honor’ and there was one big player who may have stumped you. Played by Andrene Ward-Hammond, Big Mo is the leader of Desire and she enters the world of Eugene Jones (Benjamin Flores Jr), Kofi's younger brother.
Bluesy music plays and Little Mo (Keith Machekanyanga) calls Eugene. After the explosion that left him homeless and an orphan, he has no one else to turn to. Once introduced to Big Mo, he asks if Baxters will pay for killing them. That is when Big Mo says she is playing a long game. Amid all the chaos, Lee Delamare (Carmen Ejogo) hops into their neighborhood and meets Eugene.

"I'm Kofi's lawyer," she tells him. Eugene isn't particularly interested in what she wants to do. Moreover, Little Mo cuts their conversation and slams Lee for her sense of entitlement. Lee tries to look for Kofi's dad and that's when she finds out Eugene and Kofi's dad were different. She finds him and asks him if he would sign to get a second autopsy.
Towards the end of the episode, Big Mo starts playing her long game. She first enters Jimmy Baxter's (Michael Stuhlbarg) house. Shocked to see her enter with such command, he snaps, "I didn't invite you to my hotel." She retorts back, "Who invited you to Female Jones' house?" She then spills the truth about Kofi Jones. She tells him, "Little Mo told Kofi to steal the car on October 10. Your son was killed on October 9. He was dead way before Kofi took that car."

"Why are you telling me this now?" Jimmy asks and Big Mo replies, "Didn't have any reason before this." She then warns him, "Blowing shit won't get anybody anywhere." Jimmy is puzzled and says, "I need to confirm what you're telling me. Give me Cusack."
What is Big Mo's plan now? Fans can't stop raving about her character. "I love Big Mo's character - feels very authentic for a Big Momma type character from NOLA. Really happy they didn't blow it on that," one Reddit fan wrote.

Another said, "What I found most interesting in this episode is that Little Mo is not the leader of Desire – the leader is actually a middle-aged woman named Big Mo. She is the most interesting character thus far. Big Mo, Charlie Figaro, and Frankie are the only characters I can say I care about. I hope Michael does not give in to the extortionist. It pissed me off when he went to the bank to try to withdraw the funds. I knew Jimmy would learn the truth eventually, but I did not expect it to happen so soon. The mob waging a war against a judge would be a horrible idea on Jimmy’s part, so it will be interesting to see how Jimmy will retaliate."
And a third added, "The Baxter's are finally starting to see the truth. Big Mo man she's awesome, the way she gives it to Baxter straight. No hesitation or fear. From the first ep when that car drive off, I knew it was going to come back to haunt us. Time for Kofi to get some justice."
