Jernard, while on an at home drug binge, has visions of Lil K after murdering him last week. The once, arguably, quick witted brother is being reduced to nothing but an erratic addict. Not claiming to be the biggest Jernard fan, but what a fall from grace we are witnessing here. Things get worse as word gets out that Jernard was the one that killed Lil K. His own gang begins to turn their backs on him and he loses just about everyone. Shanti decides to stick by his side, although she is visibly disappointed to discover Jernard killed Lil K against the wishes of his own crew — herself included. She also has suspicions that Jernard is possibly using — which he denies.
Jernard also owes some people a bit of money. He has a payment due to the Serbs and he had to deliver the news to Miguel that he would need more time to get his payment delivered. That conversation does not go well at all, thankfully, Mireya walking in on it saves Jernard’s life.
