The first spin-off to Courtney Kemp’s hit series Power wrapped up with an exhilarating finale and the return of a familiar face, Tommy Egan (played by Joseph Sikora). Guest star and mainstay of the original flagship series Sikora may have inadvertently spoiled the death of a major character when the Starz series returns for a second season. Power star Joseph Sikora has suggested drug dealer Monet Tejada (Mary J. Blige) could meet her demise in the second season of Book II: Ghost. Monet was introduced in the series’ first follow-up as the new boss of Tariq St. Patrick (Michael Rainey Jr.), who has tried to balance his new partnership with his college studies in the new spin-off. The queenpin is initially suspicious of Tariq, though he eventually becomes a crucial part of their rising drug empire by the end of season one. When Book II comes back for a second season, Power star Joseph Sikora not only hinted at Tommy’s return, but also suggested he could be the one to take down Monet if she becomes too powerful. READ MORE: Courtney Kemp net worth: How much is Courtney Kemp worth? However, the star also outlined a strict set of conditions that would have to be in place for Tommy to return outside his own spin-off, Book IV: Force. The star gave his take on the series when he recently spoke to Entertainment Weekly to shed light on Tommy’s relationship with Tasha St. Patrick (Naturi Naughton). He revealed: “The reality is that Tommy is a practicalist, so Tommy is not going to deal with Tasha unless Tasha becomes real competition for him or the biggest drug dealer in New York City.” Reading between the lines, some fans have considered Sikora’s comments as a warning for Monet, who may need to brace herself for Tommy’s return in season two. The star then praised Courtney Kemp for maintaining the show’s brutal and realistic take on the consequences and corruption of New York’s expansive drug scene. He continued: “The reason that Tommy is alive is that we had a show about selling drugs, and not just selling drugs, but the consequences, the aftermath, the destruction. “But ultimately you only had one character who started out wanting to sell drugs and finished wanting to sell drugs, and now that backdrop has outlasted the character.” As Power Book II picked up right after Tariq was forced to kill his own father, Ghost (Omari Hardwick), Tommy comes to town when he learns Tasha pinned the murder on him. Luckily, Tariq prevented Ghost’s former partner from taking his revenge, but he could take issue when Monet starts to encroach on his old territory. Starz has already renewed Book II for a second season, with young actor Michael Rainey Jr. quickly proving he could carry the weight of his own series. As the world of Power is set to expand even further this year, Tommy could make yet another dramatic return even sooner than fans might think. Power Book II: Ghost is available to stream on Starzplay. To borrow a phrase from the film adaptation of this week’s Canonical Studies text: The plot to get Tariq St. Patrick on the stand in his mother’s murder trial? It’s alive! It’s aliiiiiiiive! Sunday’s Power Book II: Ghost starts with a discussion of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and ends with Tariq’s hiring Tameika as his lawyer and announcing that he’s going to confess to Ghost’s murder. In between, there’s an unsuccessful hit, the return of Epiphany (insert praise hands emoji) and some casual dismemberment. Read on for the highlights of “Monster.” CANE REALLY GOES ROGUE | After cutting up the GTG guys he killed last episode and sticking them in an oil drum (while Lil Guap looks on, horrified), Cane is surprised to see his brother show up at GTG headquarters. Dru is incensed that Lil Guap is still alive, especially after the ambush outside the club. But Cane doesn’t want to hear it. “Either you with me, or you against me,” he tells Dru. At home, Monet wonders why Dru didn’t kill them all — after all, he’s going to be the head of the family business now that Cane is out of the picture. And that business is experiencing a bit of difficulty: Cane took all of the Tejada dealers with him, and Rico is on his way with product to move. Monet reorganizes her hustle by telling Tariq he’s got to move the cocaine in question. At Brayden’s suggestion, he reconnects with Effie, apologizes and gets her to sell the white stuff at Yale. She’s salty to him — with good reason — after he blew her off during her last day at Stansfield. He apologizes for that, then tells her that his mother wants him to do something really bad. (We’ll get to that in a moment.) “I can’t tell when you’re lying. I never can,” Effy says, and have I mentioned how much I like her? As they talk, she says that both he and she are monsters, and that he should make peace with that. “I accepted it about myself the night I turned you in to Choate. The sooner you accept it, the better off you’ll be.” EPIPHANY RESURFACES | Saxe and MacLean visit Epiphany at the house of one of her regular customers, where she’s staying while the guy is out of town. They know she’s got some charges against her, but they float the idea that she could avoid jail time and retain custody of her kid… if she’s willing to testify at Tasha’s trial. Little do they know, Steven Ott has hired a photographer to tail Saxe. And when he sees the photos of the super-unethical joint visit to Epiphany, Ott demands that Saxe use them to destroy MacLean. Meanwhile, MacLean leads Paula to believe that “Dr. Epiphany Turner” is an “expert witness,” which nearly makes Tasha’s eyes pop out of her head. “Epiphany ain’t no doctor. She’s a stripper!” she tells the investigator. Paula, who’s already suspicious of her lover/co-worker, realizes how bad all of this could be for their case. “If Saxe is calling her to the stand, what is Epiphany going to say about you?” she asks. Tasha realizes that Epiphany could easily name Tariq as being part of Tasha’s operation, so she asks Paula to pass along a message to Tariq: Epiphany is as dangerous as “Slim” — aka Kanan — ever was, and he should deal with her the way he dealt with him. (Oh, and Tasha 100 percent has figured out that Paula and MacLean are filing each other’s legal briefs, if you know what I mean.) MAN ON A MISSION | Tariq tracks Epiphany to the house and is about to pull out his gun when she mentions that Davis MacLean and “some square white boy” (heh) were there. He’s about to do something very bad when she casually mentions that if she had the money to do so, she’d just go on the run. And later, in court, Epiphany is MIA when she’s called to testify. Things devolve from there. Saxe and MacLean fight, and Saxe shows him the photos. Paula confronts Davis about lying about Epiphany and not telling her about his side deal with Saxe, and the level of their whisper-shouting is quite admirable. And when court is back in session, Saxe surprises everyone by calling Tariq as a witness. DRU DOWN! | When Tariq goes to the bar to meet Monet, he’s very upfront about telling her that he gave Epiphany the money earned from selling Tejada drugs. She pulls a gun on him, and things are about to get very ugly and/or fatal, but then two cars pull up outside and start shooting up the bar with abandon. Tariq grabs Diana and gets cover, while Monet and Dru scramble to avoid the firestorm, too. Eventually, Dru decides he’s going to sneak out the back and try to sneak up on the shooters, but he winds up taking a bullet in the shoulder. Cane shows up a moment later, having figured out that Rico — who was looking for a new distro — was trying to cut Monet out of the game. At the hospital, Dru goes into surgery and Monet tells Cane never to come around again. So Cane calls Ramirez, angry that the hit went awry and didn’t kill its intended target: Tariq. (Side note: Not gonna lie — I’m a little shaky on this point. The hit in question was the one at the bar? Or the one at Stansfield? I realize this makes me sound very dumb, but I cannot figure it out. Halp.) Anyway, Cane gets so angry that he winds up killing Ramirez. Oops. TARIQ’S NEW COUNSEL | Later on, Paula serves Tariq his subpoena to appear in court and offers him some friendly advice in the process: “You need a lawyer, Tariq. Davis is setting you up.” We learn that she’s no longer working for him, and she shows him the graveyard video that Saxe gave MacLean weeks before. So Tariq calls Tameika, who tells him to give her a dollar so she’s officially his lawyer and their conversations fall under attorney-client privilege. She asks him, point- blank: “Tariq, did you kill your father?” He takes a breath, then responds that he did, “not because I’m a monster. Because he was a monster.” Then, he announces that he’s going to confess everything when Saxe puts him on the stand. CARRIE GETS IN DEEPER | Did we know that Carrie used to be a prosecutor? It’s totally possible that it came up before now, but it felt like news to me when it came up in this episode. Anyway, she and Jabari suggest that they form a buffer between the cops and the student body in the investigation of the dead body in the pool. So she starts asking Zeke questions and finds out more than she bargained for regarding GTG and such. But how much of that does she pass along — under the category of “anonymous intel from a random student” — to the detective in charge? It’s unclear. When she returns to her office one afternoon, she finds Monet waiting for her. See, Monet has figured out that Zeke and his professor are sleeping together, so she threatens Carrie to stop poking around. “If Zeke gets in trouble for this swimming pool s–t, your name will be the first name out of my mouth,” she promises her. Now it’s your turn. What did you think of the episode? Are you ready for next week’s finale? Sound off in the comments!

BROOKLYN MUSEUM OF ART, NEW YORK
Known for his water lilies, a new exhibition shows another side to Claude Monet’s work
But a new exhibition at the National Gallery – the first purely Monet show staged in London for more than 20 years – will focus on how he used buildings in his work.
Monet and Architecture will feature 77 paintings, almost a quarter of which come from private collections, offering a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see these architecturally-focused works in one place.
The exhibition is divided into three non-chronological parts. the Village And the Picturesque focuses on what curator Professor Richard Thomson describes as “buildings that were old, historic and perhaps a bit ramshackle”, and wonderful pastoral views.
The City And the Modern is about Monet’s fascination with the rapid growth of Paris and of resorts such as Trouville on the Normandy coast.
Finally, the monument And the mysterious chronicles later work abroad, with particular emphasis on Venice and London, and includes his studies of Rouen Cathedral.
He painted more than 30 pieces here, at different times of day and year, showing the changes under different lighting conditions. seven will be in the exhibition.
Professor Thomson, who is Watson Gordon Professor of Fine Art at the University of Edinburgh, explains: “Previous exhibitions have only taken a slice of his career; this one takes a look at works from his entire 60-year span.
“It’s not a chronological show but one which shows how Monet used buildings for different purposes in his work. Buildings can give regular shapes in the irregularity of nature, add colour, provide screens on which light played. They can give a sense of modernity and show how the world is changing very rapidly.
“And they can have psychological importance – in the Customs officer’s House, for instance, the building is standing as a human presence where there are no figures.
”What comes across very strongly from the show is how the world changed in Monet’s 86 years, for example, the rise of what was considered “picturesque” which led to people wanting to see places with historic associations and beauty, hence the rise of tourism as a business.
This began in the 1820s after memories of departed Emperor Napoleon’s fondness for classical architecture, churches and castles drew more people to go to see the same things.
There was also a publication called Voyages Pittoresques Et Romantiques Dans L’Ancienne France, a travel guide illustrated with lithographic prints of historic sites, published between the 1820s and 1878, which gave people ideas of where to visit.

The Thames below Westminster: Claude Monet
Combined with the expanding rail network, it meant that resorts developed quickly and Monet and his family (first wife Camille and baby son Jean) visited Trouville in 1870 and recorded how it had become popular in the paintings the Beach At Trouville and on the Boardwalk At Trouville, showing tourists walking along the seafront and past the new buildings, and using a marquee set up for their entertainment.
Ironically, when Monet was painting his Rouen Cathedral series in the 1890s, he complained of 600 tourists with cameras spoiling his view.
In 1888, kodak started producing a simple camera that used a lightweight lm, which meant everyone could take photographs. Monet’s Rouen series were very well received…and ironically described by a contemporary as “like a snapshot”.
When painting the facade of the cathedral, apart from his earliest works there, Monet did not sit in the square outside but took space in a room above monsieur Levy’s dress shop opposite the gothic building, and a screen was placed between him and the ladies trying on their new outfits.

Cathedrale de Rouen, Le Portail Claude Monet
The shop is now the Rouen tourist office and from there you can see the view Monet painted, sometimes working on nine or 10 canvasses in the course of the changing light of the day.
Monet’s time in London, working on views of the thames and the Houses of Parliament that he never tired of, are also well-represented in the exhibition.
Again, keeping the theme of how Monet’s art reflected ever-changing society, most of the buildings he painted in London, with the exception of Waterloo Bridge, had been built in his lifetime. He also painted the dazzling electric lights of Leicester square in 1901 (a painting which can currently be seen in Tate Britain’s Impressionists In London show).
Monet’s Impressionism – the style of painting in the open-air rather than in a studio and showing the momentary effects of light on a subject – means that his work is as much about the light as the buildings he paints.

La Cour d’Albane, 1892
“I want the unobtainable,” he said. “Other artists paint a bridge, a house, a boat and that’s the end. They are finished. I want to paint the air which surrounds the bridge, the house, the boat; the beauty of the air in which these objects are located, and that is nothing short of impossible.”
On a visit to London in 1900 and 1901, he wrote to his second wife Alice about his efforts to paint the buildings of the city with the changing effects of light he desired.
“I’m going strong now, although it’s very difficult, for no one day is anything like another. Yesterday there was sun, with an exquisite mist and a splendid sunset; today, rain and fog, to the point where I am writing to you by (electric) light at four in the afternoon, whereas yesterday I was able to work in daylight until almost six o’clock.”
He’d panic when the weather wasn’t changeable enough. “When I got up, I was terrified to see there was no fog, not even a wisp of mist: I was prostrate, and could see all my paintings done for. But gradually the res were lit and the smoke and haze came back.”

L’Église de Vétheuil, 1878 Claude Monet
The London smog proved picturesque. Monet wrote to Alice that he had up to 65 canvasses on the go and by 9am on the morning of February 3, 1901, had already been toiling on four separate works.
“There’s no more extraordinary country for a painter,” he said at the end of the letter.
However, as well as grand buildings, there are also less well-known structures in the National Gallery exhibition.
Monet and Camille moved to the village of Vétheuil in 1878, and he was immediately attracted to painting the 13th-century church, featuring it many times and making it one of the most recognisable buildings in his work.

There is a sadness to these images, too.
Camille died in the house in Vétheuil and her husband painted her on her death bed.
She is buried in a little cemetery close to the church her husband found so inspiring.
The Credit Suisse Exhibition: Monet And Architecture is at the National Gallery from April 9-July 29. More details at nationalgallery.org.uk/ 020 7747 2885
