[Kiesha] Previously onThe Chi...

People are starting to ask questions.

I think we should just let them speculate.

You don't want folks to start pointing the finger at you.

[Tiff] If anybody asks,

just say you the one that kill Nuck.

[Bakari] I'm not saying that shit.

-You don't have a choice. -I always have a choice.

Not if it means saving your own life.

-[Kiesha] Where's Nuck? -[Bakari] You talked to Tiff.

I did. Now tell me the truth.

I killed him.

[Emmett] Why did Bakari tell Kiesha he killed Nuck?

Bakari didn't tell Tiff that Nuck killed Rob,

and this is payback.

-I gotta tell Kiesha. -Tell your future wife

your ex-wife killed the father of her child,

-you're gonna have a problem. -Fuck.

You bought that house for you and Jada.

I can't walk in there without breaking down.

Maybe you could help out a family that's in need.

[Victor] But we really about to sit up here

and act like everything's fine?

The past is the past, Trig.

You can't keep blaming me for everything.

You had kids with no intention of raising them.

Boy, it's time to get over that shit.

You don't tell me how to grieve.

What you grieving?

The life I could have had!
