And then she soothes Cane, who is mad that she made decisions without him, by telling him that being the muscle is his lane in their operation, and he should вЂњstay in it.вЂќДru is so bad at his task that Tariq instantly figures out exactly whatвЂ™s going on, and so he just kind of goes about his day while Dru tags along. She also makes Diana surrender her non-burner phone, because she still doesnвЂ™t trust her after the incident with the burner in the last episode. ThatвЂ™s basically a formal invitation for Cane to beat the snot out of the leader, so he does, making his mama proud.ДЄfter announcing to Cane, Dru and Diana that Tariq is their new partner, Monet sends Dru to Stansfield to tail Tariq and figure out how he moves weight on campus. She announces theyвЂ™re cutting the crewвЂ™s supply, so its leader calls her a bitch in Spanish twice. And Bash is happy to change the arrangement to half in cash/half wire transferвЂ¦ provided that Tariq gives him a bigger cut of the highly successful business.ДONвЂ™T MESS WITH MONET | Monet and Cane visit the crew that was causing all the trouble on social media in the previous episode. He tells her he stole the money from Estelle, because вЂњsheвЂ™s the only one getting paid from my fatherвЂ™s will,вЂќ but that heвЂ™ll play by their rules from now on. And Paula is still very antsy about getting paid in cash: She visits Tariq at his place to tell him that theyвЂ™ll need a check or wire transfer from now on. (It doesnвЂ™t go well, though she does get close to a very receptive Brayden.)Д«lanca and Tate both testify in front of the judge in TashaвЂ™s case, but neither are the slam-dunk damnation of Saxe that Maclean hoped theyвЂ™d be. Meanwhile, Saxe comes up with another ridiculously not-OK plan to find out how Tariq is paying for his motherвЂ™s legal defense: He has his bratty teen niece Riley try to meet him at a party. Besides, Davis is more concerned with their current mission to make Saxe look biased in front of the judge, which could lead to him being forced to remove himself from the case. SAXE RECRUITS HIS NIECE | Tariq pays Davis Maclean in cash, which raises PaulaвЂ™s hackles, but the lawyer isnвЂ™t worried: If Tariq were getting his funds from criminal activity, he reasons, theyвЂ™d be getting their fee wired from some shady LLC. Milgram and Tariq, as well, for вЂњoptics.вЂќ (Dude, I know youвЂ™re in the habit of bedding students, but think LaurenвЂ™s invitation was just a dinner invitation.) Reynolds over for dinner with her parents to discuss the fellowship. As soon as class is over, Lauren invites Prof. So is his classmate Lauren, whom we learn has a boyfriend living in the nationвЂ™s capital. among other perks, the recipient gets to graduate a year early. Also, the students learn that there is a canonical studies fellowship in Washington, D.C. In canonical studies, the class is reading MachiavelliвЂ™s The Prince, which provides a nice parallel for how Tariq winds up cutting down some of his on-campus competition later in the episode. Pretty soon, the app is raking in the cash. And if someone ponies up for the premium package, ordering their drugs is even easier: вЂњMathвЂќ means weed, вЂњeconвЂќ means uppers and вЂњchemistryвЂќ means downers.

Tariq and Brayden acknowledge that some of Course CorrectвЂ™s customers may actually want study help and not drugs, so they hire students who can actually tutor but who also donвЂ™t mind delivering drugs. Tariq doesnвЂ™t want to, but he winds up doing it anyway. Soon after, Tasha contacts her son via burner: That call from Tejada has her spooked, she knows Tariq is selling again, and she wants him to go to one of Ghost and TommyвЂ™s old dead drops and grab a gun for protection. So they make a deal: Bash will get 5 percent of all profits, Tariq will get his cut in cash, and Simon never needs to know. Simon would never agree to such a deal, Bash saysвЂ¦ but he doesnвЂ™t mind doing a little business behind the back of his silver-haired hubby.

Bash is as smarmy as they come he calls вЂRiqвЂ™s idea вЂњbrilliantвЂќ and wants to back it but balks when Tariq insists on all payouts in cash -В no wire transfers or anything of that sort. But heвЂ™s greeted instead by SimonвЂ™s young boytoy/new husband Bash, who listens as Tariq pitches Course Correct: an app that delivers drugs and tutoring directly to college studentsвЂ™ doors. A NEW BIZ IS BORN | After Monet lays down her rules for Tariq (all cash everything, etc.), вЂRiq heads to a meeting with Simon Stern.
