Power Book IV: Force S3 Ep6: Tommy Confronts Mireya About the Baby & Her Choice

The most emotional moment in Power Book IV: Force unfolds in Episode 6, when Tommy Egan finally confronts Mireya about the baby she hid from him. Tommy, known as the most volatile drug boss in Chicago, delivers clarity, patience, and an open heart in the conversation, surprising fans.

Tommy and Mireya’s relationship is transformed by this moment, and he is encouraged to grow. He manages his temper and takes a break to contemplate his actions for the first time. Mireya calls him a ‘green flag’ because he listens instead of lashing out. Although the world around them is rife with violence and revenge, this scene provides gentleness and surprise.

A Conversation Fueled by Pain—and Love

When Mireya walked back into Tommy’s and her place after leaving the Clinic, Egan let her know she had dropped her phone, which he was holding. The usual pattern of their conflict is disrupted by it. He’s not asking for answers. He’s willing to offer space. Mireya’s honesty is more effective due to that.

The fear stems not from Tommy, but from the danger that comes with loving him. She understands the depth of that fear. Tommy understands her concerns for the first time in a long time when he sees her shaken. The scene forces both of them to let go of their guard. Mireya is faced with not only external danger, but also the real consequences of loving a man who is haunted by violence. Tommy’s ex-girlfriend, Holly, and their unborn child have left him feeling heavy. Mireya’s fear is now more painfully clear due to the deaths caused by his actions and the belief that his brother Ghost was gone as well. And the feeling that he might have lost another child that he didn’t know about.

Tommy’s Growth Shows in His Response

The old Tommy would’ve snapped or shut down. Here, he does the opposite: he validates her fear, doesn’t take it personally, and apologizes, not for the violence, but for her having to witness it.

He tells her she should never feel afraid to talk to him. He reminds her she should never feel like she has to protect him by hiding her pain. Then he speaks openly, uttering words that show the depth of his transformation:

“I’m in love with you, and I’m down with you no matter what you choose.”

Tommy’s lack of vulnerability language is why the line hits. He is not the drug kingpin who is trying to control outcomes at this moment. He’s the one who finally realizes that protecting someone sometimes necessitates stepping back, not pushing forward.

The Stakes of Parenthood in a Violent World

The scene’s acknowledgment that a baby cannot choose to live in danger is one of its most potent elements. Tommy has always accepted the risks. He can handle the consequences of his decisions. The thought of an innocent child being introduced into his world leaves him shaken.

Despite Tommy’s chaos, he has always followed a clear set of morals, especially when it comes to protecting the innocent. Hearing Mireya tell him that the baby didn’t have a choice forces him to confront the limits of the life he leads—and whether love can survive within those limits.

Tommy’s promise to her, “You don’t have to worry about hurting me by taking care of yourself,” is not merely a reassurance. Tommy has given Mireya the freedom she has never allowed anyone close to her to have.

A New Chapter for Tommy?

As expected, the conversation leaves some issues unresolved. Tommy’s world is shaped by blood, loyalty, and survival, and love alone is not enough to change it. This scene demonstrates that Tommy is capable of growth and can change despite his surroundings forcing him to remain the same.

Tommy, a character defined by impulsive decisions and violent reactions, gets a rare glimpse of what it feels like when he chooses empathy over anger in Episode 6.

As Season 3 continues, this moment could become a key reason his story still matters. It’s not just a crime saga, but the journey of a man determined to rise above his circumstances, even when the world resists.
