This week’s BMF managed to resolve every story that was set at the start of the season while also making me intrigued for the next one.

But before I get to the big stories that were resolved,  I have to bring up that Bryant’s son has ben arrested and will most likely be charged for murder. This is a rare occurrence in these days of television for young teenagers to be put in this situation. It is Detroit in the 1980’s so topic like these could not be ignored. I do believe that this could be a vehicle to add more for Detective Bryant’s plot progression for the third season. Especially since the gun was B-Mickie’s.

The emotional scene of the episode goes to Goldie as she had to cut her sister’s life support as her health was getting worse due to AIDS. Monique put on a great performance of good acting on this scene as it really stood out.

Also, it is over for Lucille and Charles as she is officially getting a divorce layer. It was sad to see this happen, knowing the context here as it was expanded from the BMF documentary that STARZ released a few months ago.  Another thing that was sad is Meech banning B-Mickie from ever rejoining BMF ever again. I honestly could not blame him for this decision.

Meech is starting to humanize himself as he did not kill Lamar and wants to not kill anyone for the sake of doing it. Instead, Lamar’s punishing himself as he is getting deeper into his own crack addiction. Even with the going away party for Meech and Terry, their dangers followed them as Terry is shot and the episode ends on a cliffhanger.

Season 2 of BMF drastically improved from season one in every way regards to storytelling, plot progression, and a character driven narrative that kept me engaged the entire season. I cannot wait for season 3 of BMF!

If anyone learned something from this week’s BMF, that is how Meech got his nickname in a very NSFW sex scene at the strip club.

I cannot lie, I laughed too hard after the scene played as it came off as hysterical as it can. Now when the causal audience think of his name, it will be this scene. With that out of the way, this episode is a prime example to never leave your guard down.

Lamar killing Monique was something I was expecting to happen in the next season. But here, it made sense as he suspected her turning on him, which is why he did not try the drugs that she gave him since it was tampered with. It also makes me question why she did not have her gun at this time as she did the whole season. Her daughter is going to be devastated once she finds out that Lamar did this. But that was not the only death we got on this episode as Ty Washington got his, which was sad in itself.

The standout scene for this week’s BMF is the scene between Meech, Southwest T, and B-Mickie towards the end. It is the first time that the three actors showed a range of emotions during this scene as opposed to the tough gangster monologue. I must say that it really made me feel for all three as they did not want to see anymore people die. Still, B-Mickie should have been punished.

Another standout scene is Lucille confronting Mabel. This was a long time coming and everything Lucille said to her about the affair with Charles is 100% spot on. I love how this was acted as it was a slow build to this mega blowoff during the season. This must mean that the two are divorcing very soon.

There is one more episode of BMF this year as it airs next week. I hope to see many loose ends wrapped up on the finale.

Times are tough for BMF’s Terry as he has another child on the way. On top of that, he told Charles and Lucille that he is dropping out of school to join with Meech in the illegal drug trade. All of this while Lucille tells him that he does not want to regret this big decision.

To worsen Terry’s troubles, Bryant and Veronica are watching him and is close to getting him arrested. Sure, they watched the action between Terry and Rakeisha, but they also have a B-Mickie problem too and that lead to him being captured by someone at the end of this episode.

Some highlights that I want to point out is Lamar’s revenge plot as he continues to take out and kill members of BMF. Including a vicious kill with his shotgun. It is also great to see Lamar save that dog from its abusive owner too. I will give praise to Eric Kofi-Abrefa for his scenes on this episode as I find them enjoyable and really getting me to care more about the character.

While all of this is going on, Meech is attending Soul Night to network with more connections, Charles is trying to break off the affair, and B-Mickie’s mother needs better care. The scene between Meech and B-Mickie towards the end of this episode was very powerful as I believe it brought out a range of different emotions from both actors. The reveal that he has a wire really questioned the viewer as his loyalty with BMF is now in jeopardy.

Overall, a great episode and a good return from BMF’s two week break!

This week’s episode of BMF marked the debut of Mo’Nique’s character Goldie and it added more flavor to the ongoing story.

Goldie really stood out to me in a great way since It’s been a while since i’ve seen Mo’Nique play a character to this level on television. Her scenes with Meech and Terry were some of the great highlights of the episode and I like how they all interacted during their scenes together. I do find it funny that Meech and Terry tried to out hustle the rest at the secret gambling spot.

Another highlight is Lamar’s unexpected appearance at the Flenory house with murderous intentions and the fear Lucille shows when she is greeted by Lamar. Fortunately, he was halted at the moment, and it’s nice to see that he still has one ounce of human decency left in him. I respect him for sparring Lucille as I think losing his mom just made him had a change a heart, but we all know if he killed Lucille, that would have been an all out war starting. I still wonder how did he had that much pull to eat at the fast food place for free. As well as that, it was satisfying to see B-Mickie getting a piece of the action against that bully although Bryant hired him to do this!

In the midst of Charles’ affair with Mabel, he has escalated it to another level as they finally had sex since he could no longer resist her. Wait until Lucille finds out, it is going to blow up faster than he finished.

The opening for this week’s episode of BMF was really good as they showed Meech and Terry reminiscing about when they listened to music in their parents car when they were younger. My only gripe is, from the end of the last episode to the start of this one, it is like the car chase never happened. A bit jarring in my opinion. Great episode in my eyes though!

After being shot by Lamar on last week’s BMF, Meech escapes the hospital before Lamar even showed up as the chase is on between the two.

Even when these two rivals were in the same interrogation room, I felt the tension between them. Add in the fact that Lamar is bloodthirsty for revenge as he savagely killed members of BMF while he was chasing down any trace of Meech and Terry. I got to say that Lamar’s character development really shined on this episode as he is growing on me.

Terry does not know this yet, but the drug transport got intercepted by Bryant and Veronica as they are getting really close to capturing the leaders. That is not going to go well so we will have to see how they will follow this up. Another highlight for this episode is when Lucille was calling out the women at the church for judging her. That is supposed to be a place where nobody is judged so for this to happen, I appreciate the consistency of the church scenes as they are exposing how people can be human instead of masking who they are.

My only gripe on this week’s BMF is that the episode felt too short. It is one of them that should have been longer to flesh out the ongoing stories. There were some things that did happen to advance the story so I am happy with that. No way do I think that Charles and Lucille are accepting what Meech and Terry are doing in the illegal drug trade, but I have a feeling that they will be soon.

 Lamar is clearly the star of the episode. That is how I will end the review!
