On the latest episode of “Raising Kanan,” Famous’ killers are revealed. Plus, Marvin may have bitten off more than he can chew. Here is the recap for, “Street Struck.”
Kanan tells Jukebox about his suspicions.
Marvin robs Quan. After he gets the jewelry in the safe, he removes his mask. Quan identifies him as Raq’s brother before Marvin kills him.
B-Rilla meets with Kenyatta and Julius after they botched robbing Lowell and emptying out his safe. Now that they realize they killed Lowell’s tenant instead, they want to finish the job. When B-Rilla says he doesn’t want to do this since the police were alerted, Julius accuses him of being afraid. And Kenyatta tells him he doesn’t have a choice. He will help willingly or be forced to.
Kanan and Juke grab a bite to eat. Juke came under the impression that Kanan knows who killed Famous and would tell her. When he tells her he believes Raq did it, she finds this hard to believe. But he reminds her that she was behind D Wiz’s death despite caring about him. He saw Raq giving money to the police. So it’s possible she paid dirty cops to take out Famous.
Unique learns of Quan’s death and concludes that Raq is behind it to destroy his business. O-Cee begs Unique to give him cash to leave New York because Kanan likely knows he’s been helping him. Unique kills O-Cee.
Marvin overstepped.
B-Rilla comes clean to Lou Lou about the situation involving Lowell and Kenyatta. He doesn’t know what to do and the stress is making it hard for him to record music.
Unique wants to hit back at Raq by going after the restaurants she uses. However, his associate says Russo wants them to stay put for now. Not long after, a detective walks in to ask about Ronnie and Howard’s deaths. He suspects Unique killed both.
Kanan speaks to Snaps and Pop about wanting to use their connections at the police department to find out Famous’ killer. The streets are saying dirty cops are responsible. But he wants to know who made the call. He’s shocked when he learns Quan was killed and some suspect Raq put in the hit.
Marvin visits Early to see how Stefano’s booking business has been going. He tells Marvin he and his cousin Londell handled the Italian guy who was giving him trouble by taking him out. The deceased man refused to hand over the money he owed Stefano. After Marvin says he shouldn’t have done this because that man was very connected, Early says Marvin has some blame because he told him to “handle it.”
Famous’ killers are identified.
Jukebox goes to O-Cee’s place to find out if any of his family members know his whereabouts. His older brother answers the door and attempts to rape Juke. She pulls a gun on him and learns O-Cee has been missing for a week.
Unique meets with Russo in hopes that he’ll green light hitting back Raq now that their connect Quan is dead. But Russo doesn’t care and reminds Unique to pay him regardless. He has no interest in going after Raq because it’s not his business being destroyed.
Pop and Snaps talk to their cop connects. It turns out they were the ones who tasked the two officers to kill Famous. They worried his lyrics would put them on cops’ radar so they wanted him dead. But the sloppiness of the job done is causing too much speculation.
Lou attempts to talk Kenyatta and Julius into leaving B-Rilla alone. They refuse and make threats, taunting Lou about giving up his life of crime.
Marvin comes clean to Raq about his dilemma with Early. She is furious that he is involved in something that could ruin the business arrangement they have with Stefano.
The old Lou may be back.
Unique approaches Snaps and Pop with an invitation to work together. He needs a new connect with Quan out. Plus, he thinks Snaps and Pop can help him broker peace between Stefano and Russo. But this is something they need to think on.
Stefano asks Marvin if he knows anything about the slaying of his friend (whom Early killed). Marvin says he knows nothing and Stefano promises to take out whoever is responsible. Marvin ends up killing Londell later himself in an attempt to fix the mess.
Kanan and Juke find out O-Cee’s body was recently found. Kanan visits his mother to offer condolences. She’s devastated and no one will talk about who pulled the trigger.
At Kanan’s request, Krystal gets on the bus to leave New York for her safety. However, Pop and Snaps’ crooked cops who killed Famous pick her up for questioning.
Julius and Kenyatta sit outside the studio, waiting for Lou Lou and B-Rilla to leave so they can kill both. Unfortunately for them, Lou was two steps ahead. He kills them and walks away with a grin on his face.
