During this exchange Kanan stares at the school’s exit door, saying nothing. Annoyed at his poor timing, Jukebox states the obvious by reminding the guys that Davina’s boyfriend just died. I expected Kanan to be impressed by Davina’s hand skills and express his love for the prettiest girl in Southside, but instead D Wiz announces his desire to make a move on her. Famous, who at this point has established himself as the hood’s jokester, cheers her on, nicknaming her “The Champ, Davina Don’t Get No Meaner” (which I’m sure pissed her mother off even more). While being escorted out of the building by school safety, Davina and her visibly angry mother walk past Kanan and his crew. Davina’s mother’s unkempt appearance and the aggression shown toward her daughter make it clear that she has a hard life at home. Her mother shows up to the school pissed, like most Black mommas when the principal calls, interrupting Kanan’s opportunity to shoot his shot. It’s not clear whether Davina believes him.
He even has the audacity to send his condolences. While in the principal’s office, Kanan consoles Davina ( just as I predicted). Davina has a mean right hook that made me have the same reaction as everyone in the scene. See, when the popular gangsta dies, every girl he ever messed with comes out of the woodwork, so Davina, Buck Twenty’s girlfriend, is going blow for blow with Tiffany, Buck Twenty’s side chick. This episode blesses us with another high-school fight scene that includes hair pulling, heavy blows, and busted lips. Throughout the episode, we get glimpses of her wisdom, as she lectures her son about life’s most valuable lessons: Eyes open at all times fear keeps you alert and alive, so be scared. This is not surprising, as Raq functions best when in the driver’s seat, whether she’s in drug-queenpin or hood-mom mode. Fearful for her son’s safety, Raq decides to drive Kanan to school. He doesn’t appear to be affected after killing Buck Twenty, nor does he seem concerned about the possibility of Buck Twenty’s people retaliating. As he steps outside, though, the leftover bullet-shell casing he finds on the floor quickly reminds him that he’s a target.

Raquel making her son breakfast before school is pretty normal, but schooling him on how to lie low because he now has a target on his back is not. It’s not every day that a mother is cool with knowing that her teenage son is a cold-blooded murderer - but in the Power universe it is.
