Following the premiere of Power Book II: Ghost Season 4, fans are curious about the character Denise, who was briefly mentioned in the show’s final scene.
In the opening episode of Season 4, Michael Rainey Jr.’s Tariq St. Patrick is on the run with Gianni Paola’s Brayden Weston, both trying to avoid being killed by Noma and her gang, who are after the bounty on their heads.
In the episode’s closing moments, viewers are introduced to Michael Ealy’s Detective Don Carter, a character whose backstory is likely to become significant as the season progresses.
Who Is Denise in Power Book II: Ghost?
In the final scene of the Season 4 premiere, a woman named Denise is mentioned during a conversation between Detective Don Carter and a priest. Carter reveals that Denise “was not lost” but “murdered,” leaving audiences wondering about her identity.
The priest’s preceding line offers a clue: he remarks on the pain Carter has felt since losing his wife. This context confirms that Denise is the late wife of Detective Don Carter. Her death continues to affect him deeply, and Carter is determined to make the streets safer in her memory.
Denise’s Impact on Upcoming Episodes
Detective Don Carter is poised to be a significant obstacle for Tariq St. Patrick in the upcoming season of Power Book II: Ghost. The closing moments of Season 4 not only introduce Carter but also show him being tasked with investigating the murder of a federal agent that Tariq committed. Carter is taking this mission personally, vowing to “nail whoever took your son.”
Although Tariq may have reached a tentative truce with Caroline Chikezie’s Noma, he now faces a new threat in Detective Carter, who is “filled with bitterness, wrath, and anger,” potentially directed at Tariq and those close to him.
As Season 4 progresses, viewers can hope for more details about Denise’s fate to be revealed.
