Tommy Egan Calls Tariq St. Patrick In Episode 10 of Season Three of Power Book IV: Force

The Power universe has always played its cards close to the chest, holding back just as much as it reveals. That vibe is back in full force in Power Book IV: Force Season 3, Episode 10, where Tommy Egan drops a line about calling in a favor. Fans who’ve been around since the beginning know precisely what that means—it’s a direct shot back to the lingering mystery from the end of Power Book II: Ghost. When Tommy says, “Am I calling a favor,” it doesn’t sound casual at all. It’s not just another line—it’s a warning shot.

Why That Phone Call Still Matters

The Ghost series finale held back, on purpose. Tariq St. Patrick sets up his new operation, fully embracing his role as “a ghost,” and then—just like that—the show jumps to a post-credits scene that leaves fans hanging. Tariq gets a call from someone he hasn’t spoken to in ages. No name, no hint at who’s on the other end. Just a sense that it matters. What really sticks with you is how Tariq reacts. He doesn’t pause or question it. He slips right into old habits, all trust and loyalty. “C’mon, we’re family for life,” he says, and that’s it—he’s in. In the world of Power, calling someone family actually means something. It’s not just talk.

Tommy’s Line Feels Intentional, Not Random

Fast forward to Force Season 3, Episode 10. In the promo, Tommy straight-up talks about calling in a favor. Usually, that’s just Tommy being Tommy—he thrives on favors and deals. But with Ghost’s mysterious phone call still hanging over everything, the timing feels almost too perfect. Power doesn’t waste words, especially in a finale. When Tommy actually says he’s thinking about calling in a favor, it doesn’t just fill space; it ties things together. It’s like the writers are nudging us to make connections across the shows without laying everything out for us.

The Scene’s Real Purpose Isn’t the Answer

The episode recap shows that viewers are not supposed to know who Tariq called. This is intentional. The creators want to keep people guessing about who was on the other end of the line. The recap itself is a bit confusing about Tariq’s call.

Keeping the caller a secret keeps the story flexible. This mystery allows the writers to add character connections when they help the plot, rather than deciding too soon. The suspense fits, since Tommy’s situation in Force could lead to an interesting crossover.

What the Mystery Says About Tariq

The scene reframes Tariq’s perspective. He isn’t reacting like a child trying to survive when the call comes in. He maintains a calm, confident, and in control demeanor. He refrains from asking questions at the start. He commits. The response confirms his transformation. Tariq is not only inheriting the Power World, but also shaping it. He trusted him enough to ask for help, and he trusted them enough to say yes.

A Tease That Keeps the Universe Alive

Tommy’s identity as the caller is immaterial to the tease’s function; its real value is in keeping the Power universe dynamic, interconnected, and full of potential. Often, not answering is the stronger tactic, as it keeps possibilities open for viewers.
