Who Cancels Christmas On JP Gibbs In Power Book IV: Force

Kanan’s Legacy Lives Through Tommy and D-Mac

STARZ has unleashed the Power Universe fandom with their latest teaser for Power Book IV: Force Season 3. Tommy Egan opens the clip with a chilling callback to his late mentor, Kanan Stark: ‘My man Kanan used to say, every good lie is veiled in the truth.’

The season’s tone is perfectly set by the quote, which is rooted in deception, survival, and revenge. Kanan’s legacy has always had a significant impact on Ghost and Tommy’s ruthless street philosophy in the Power Universe. Tommy is passing on the same manipulative tactics to his nephew, D-Mac. The central theme of this is mentorship, and Tommy is grooming D-Mac to survive Chicago’s chaos, just as Kanan once guided him.

The power mythology is intertwined with this dynamic, illustrating how each generation of hustlers borrows lessons from the previous one. Fans are already pondering the possibility that D-Mac’s rise may be a resemblance to Tommy’s – sharp, strategic, and dangerously loyal until the inevitable betrayal that defines every Power storyline.

Conflict Within CBI: Janard vs. Diamond

The teaser suggests that Chicago Brothers Incorporated (CBI) is experiencing increasing tension. Janard is seen rallying his crew, declaring, ‘These are our streets, our blocks — these brothers are looking out for themselves.’ Meanwhile, Diamond appears conflicted, quietly disagreeing with his brother’s violent direction. Since Season 1, their relationship has been strained, and it looks like they will finally face each other in Season 3. Diamond’s efforts to restore order to the streets clash with Janard’s hasty ambition. Although they may unify against Tommy at times, the teaser suggests that their mutual distrust may lead to a dangerous implosion within the CBI itself. Tommy’s awareness of this fracture allows him to benefit — he can play the brothers against each other in a way that resembles Kanan’s playbook. The teaser reminds us that when truth and blood collide, even the most carefully constructed lies can crumble.

Shanti’s Warning — and Possible Betrayal

Shanti, a mysterious figure in the force, seems to caution Tommy: “These brothers, they looking out for themselves.”

Power fans are aware that not all warnings are motivated by loyalty. The alliance between Shanti and both Janard and Tommy puts her at the center of a fatal triangle. Is Tommy being protected by her or is she manipulating him for her own gain? Shanti, like Kanan before her, blends truth and deceit to ensure that no one, including Tommy, can fully predict her moves. Dre and Effie are among the most dangerous players in the Power Universe, with their calculated partnership and constant scheming. According to Gary Lennon, the series showrunner, Shanti’s character is always servicing herself.” Be prepared for her to perform one of the most shocking double-crosses of the season.

JP’s Death Changes Everything

Tommy’s knees collapsing in one of the most emotional moments of the teaser, the same image that has accompanied him through past losses such as Holly, LaKeisha, and Ghost. This season, fans are now aware that JP, Tommy’s half-brother, will be killed. JP’s death could result in Tommy becoming even more vengeful and unhinged due to its emotional impact. The funeral scenes, featuring D-Mac in tears and photos of JP and Tommy leaving the church with Maria Garcia, underline how personal this loss will be. It is believed by many fans that JP was an unintended casualty of a hit intended for Tommy, possibly ordered by Janard and CBI.

Love, Revenge, and Power Moves Ahead

The teaser closes with Tommy promising revenge: “He ain’t gonna stop till he takes everything from me.” Maria responds, “I know what life I’m signing up for.”

Their relationship is poised to evolve into one of the show’s most complex love stories — built on loyalty, danger, and bloodshed. Gary Lennon, the showrunner, has hinted that Tommy will be brought to his knees in Season 3.

The only goal is to become stronger than ever. Tommy Egan’s world is one where you never bet against him, and alliances are shifting, Shanti’s manipulations unravel, and Chicago’s streets are ready to explode. Still, one thing remains certain: you never bet against him. As he declares in the final seconds of the teaser: “Never bet against me… because I’m always winning.”
