Over the last two seasons, "Raising Kanan" has delivered its fair share of unexpected moments. However, the most surprising of them all has arguably been the turn of events in Raquel (Patina Miller) and Unique's (Joey Bada) relationship that takes place in season two's shocking finale that aired on Oct. 23.
The two Southside Jamaica, Queens, drug lords started out as sworn enemies in season one, with Raquel pinning a cop's attempted murder on her foe and sending him to jail until his name was cleared. But after calling a truce at the beginning of season two, Raquel and Unique grew to be allies through their rocky arrangement with New Jersey's Italian mob. However, it seems like the pair's relationship may soon grow into something more.
"I don't know. Do you think that we should do that?"

Oh, wait a night!
Such a fun and iconic song to play over an absolute bloodbath!
There was nothing fun about the end of Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 2 Episode 10, which saw Raq's crew gunned down at the hands of Sal Boselli. And Raq was one second away from joining them until an unlikely ally came to her rescue.
Let's start by admitting that this was the best episode of Raising Kanan.
From start to finish, everything worked here. They closed some storylines, opened others, and carried over a few that will keep the excitement there as we wait for the next season.
It was everything a finale should be. And it was made all the better by the ever-steady presence of Patina Miller.
Patina is an absolute force, and she brings everything to this role. And in this hour, Raq is everywhere, dealing with fire after fire, all...
