The latest episode of All The Queen’s Men dives back into the action with Raphael at one of his rap houses, overseeing operations and planning to move his tainted shipments overseas. When his right-hand man questions the risks—“What happens when some of the buyers start to drop dead?”—Raphael coldly replies, “That’s not your concern.” Tough talk now, but we all know that line will come back to haunt him.

Making matters worse, Madam calls Raphael to gloat, revealing that the tainted stash was her doing.

Meanwhile, Carla and Madam confront Tony, who’s back in town despite knowing her sisters don’t mess with her. Carla’s especially bitter, claiming Tony doesn’t deserve her inheritance—ownership of Maddy B’s—after snitching on their father. Tony doesn’t back down: “If we can’t be cool, then we can remain enemies.” And that’s on period.

Let’s check in on Doc. He’s still trying to fix the mess he made with the shirt. Back at the police station, he charms Naima, the evidence tech, into a date. You already know.

Doc gets Naima so smitten she visits him solo at Eden, where he spikes her drink. Soon, she’s tweaking—like, really tweaking—causing outbursts in the club. Madam handles it, knocking her out and sending her off in an ambulance.

Over at Eden, mysterious smoke in the VIP dressing room incapacitates the dancers. Blue is first to notice and sends the amateurs onstage to buy time. Eventually, Blue and Madam revive the dancers, but now they need answers. All signs point to Raphael—this reeks of revenge.

Carla presses Tony again about her motives for returning. Tony insists she just wants her inheritance, reconciliation with her sisters, and to repair her relationship with Amp. But the vibes are off, and the truth comes out when Tony makes a secret call. She assures the person on the other end that while her sisters are resistant, everything is going as planned. Soon, Madam will be out of the way, and the mysterious figure will get what they’ve been plotting for all along.

The episode closes with Raphael at what he thinks is a routine haircut. Sitting in the chair with a towel over his face, he doesn’t see Madam enter the room. She places a razor to his throat, and we fade to black.

Stay tuned—things are heating up!
