POWER Book II: Ghost viewers were left sobbing after a legendary character made a shock return for the series finale on Sunday night.
The final episode of the second season – a spin-off from the much-loved series Power – aired over the weekend, as the drama hit its peak.
Fans were left in shock when beloved character Tasha made a re-appearance in the final episode, having narrowly escaped prison.
The youngster – played by Michael Rainey Jr – killed his father James St Patrick, played by Omari Hardwick, in the season one finale of Power.
He was able to continue his life as normal as a student at Stansfield University after his mother Tasha took the fall for the murder.
Wanting to make it up to her, Tariq paid for the best lawyer to get her into witness protection following the killing, while also protecting younger sister Yaz.
At the end of the second season, fans were taken out of New York and to a secluded cottage where Tasha had been living away from prying eyes.
She was met by Tameika Robinson, who took her and Yaz away to start a new life, giving them both fake identities in a new city.
While Tariq was unable to join them and make for a full family reunion, viewers were left overwhelmed with emotion seeing Tasha back on screen.
“Yasmine reunited with Tasha, I want to cry,” one fan wrote to Twitter, as a second agreed: “That scene was wholesome af though.”
“I don’t think anybody understands how happy I was to see Tasha,” a third chimed in, as a fourth added: “I am literally crying mad tears.”
“This scene with Tasha had me in tears,” a fifth penned, as a sixth viewer concluded: “Yaz and Tasha back together. Tears rolling down my face.”
Starz announced the renewal of Power Book II: Ghost for a third season. Production is set to begin in early 2022 and will bring back old characters and introduce new ones.
