SPOILER ALERT: This recap of Season 4, Episode 9 contains explicit plot details.
In my episode two recap, one of the storylines I told viewers of “The Chi” to keep in mind surrounds Mayor Douda’s need to remind the streets who’s the boss and how he aims to do so:
“Will Douda continue to keep one foot in the streets and the other in City Hall, knowing he’s made a public claim to defund the police?”

There’s a lot going on at the Williams household on “The Chi.”
Adultery, a new mouth to feed and Kevin’s ongoing descent, to name a few.
Here’s what has gone on during episodes six and seven:
Kiesha (Birgundi Baker) decides to start dating again, but at her own pace and no one can blame her for that. She decides to take her child a boy back from Octavia, played by Tabitha Brown. She names him after Ronnie (Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine), the man who saved her from the man who kidnapped and assaulted her, while fathering her baby. (Ronnie was murdered during season three.)
