Krystal’s Death, Betrayals, and a War Brewing in Raising Kanan’s Wildest Episode Yet
Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 4, Episode 9 hits hard. Hard. Krystal’s shocking murder, Marvin’s betrayal, and Kanan’s growing rage—it’s all coming to a head. With every storyline colliding, this episode doesn’t slow down. It builds the kind of pressure that can only explode. If you thought this season was intense already, this one proves why Raising Kanan is the crown jewel of the Power universe.
Krystal’s Murder Flips the Table
The episode opens with a punch in the gut—Krystal is killed, just like that. No warning. She wasn’t a threat, but Pop shoots her anyway. It’s cold. It isn’t prudent. And it sets off a domino effect.
Snaps and Pop wanted to cover their tracks after Famous’s death, but all they did was create a bigger mess. Now Kanan’s furious, and he’s not letting this go. Fans are calling this the moment Kanan officially crosses over. There’s no turning back.
Kanan And Raq? That Trust Is Gone
Kanan corners Raq about Krystal. She says she had nothing to do with it. But he’s not buying it. Their relationship has been shaky all season, but now? It feels broken. Snaps and Pop fed Kanan a lie, telling him Raq hired cops to kill Famous. It’s not true, but lies feel real when hurt and angry. This might be the final break between mother and son.
Marvin’s Secrets Just Blew Up In His Face
Remember Marvin’s shady moves? They’re catching up fast. Early’s still mad about Londell, so he rats Marvin out to Stefano. Then Stefano spills the tea to Raq, saying Marvin’s trying to steal her spot.
That lights a fire between the siblings. Meanwhile, Marvin does something brutal—he kills Amber’s abusive foster parents. Was it justice? Maybe. But it also shows Marvin’s still capable of going dark.
Lou-Lou Walks From Music—Right Into Trouble
Lou-Lou is done with the label. The pressure, the risk, the mess—it’s too much. He breaks up with Imani, drops music, and returns to Raq. He even offers to be her muscle again. It’s a significant shift. B-Rilla gets fired too and might follow Lou back into the street life. Is this comeback going to be Lou’s rise—or his fall?
Jukebox Is Torn Between Family And Truth
Jukebox meets with Garcia to get answers about Krystal. What does she hear? Devastating. Krystal’s dead. Now Jukebox owes Garcia a favor. She might use it to take down Snaps and Pop. In addition, she reconnects with Iesha and opens up like never before. Jukebox is at a fork in the road. What she does next could define who she becomes in the Power world.
Unique Offers Kanan A Deal—But What’s The Catch?
Kanan pays Unique a visit. And get this—Unique offers to team up. Says he’s got no beef with Kanan. Only Raq. Kanan disagrees, but he’s thinking. And Raq sees it. She knows her son might flip sides. In the final scene, she even walks up to Unique herself. The tension’s thick. A truce feels unlikely. A war feels inevitable.
Snaps And Pop Are Hungry—And Dangerous
These two? They’re the real villains now. Killing Famous. Killing Krystal and lying to Kanan. It’s all about power for them. But their moves aren’t solving problems—they’re making new ones. The bodies are piling up, and fans think their ambition will be their downfall. They might be next on someone’s hit list.
Get Ready: The Finale Will Be Chaos
No one’s safe now. Loyalty’s shattered. Enemies are everywhere—Lou’s back in. Marvin’s walking a thin line. Jukebox might flip. And Kanan? He’s hurt, angry, and ready to do something big. The finale’s going to be violent, messy, and probably deadly. Episode 9 was the setup. Episode 10? That’s the storm.
