How Did Chicken Man and Frank Get Robbed?

After gaining the trust of Atlanta’s most notorious criminals, Chicken Man had the chance to make his mark as a key player in Frank Moten’s inner circle. But as episode three begins, things quickly take a turn for the worse. At the boxing fight attended by Frank and the city’s elite, Chicken Man learns that Frank’s mood is sour due to unresolved issues with the zonal department. Knowing Frank needs help reaching Senator Leroy Johnson, Chicken Man decides to make a bold move to prove his worth.

Instead of going through legitimate channels, Chicken Man ropes in Sully, a janitor, to pose as the head of the zonal department and speak to Frank. At first, the plan seems like it might work, but it falls apart when Leroy Johnson suddenly arrives and exposes Sully’s true identity by calling him the best janitor ever. Realizing he’s been deceived, Frank takes Chicken Man and Javi Lopez to a secluded area, intending to eliminate them. Javi meets a tragic end, but Chicken Man manages to buy himself another chance by delivering an impassioned speech that resonates with Frank.

Despite his persuasive efforts, Chicken Man’s day goes from bad to worse. As he and Frank head back, they unknowingly walk into a trap set by Emerson Dorsey and his crew. The heist begins, and even Frank, a seasoned gangster, is caught off guard by the audacity of the robbers targeting him. The tension mounts as Tommy, a member of Emerson’s crew, suffers a panic attack upon realizing the dangerous nature of their targets. His sister Lena steps in, calming him and urging him to focus on the job.

Throughout the chaos, Chicken Man desperately tries to clear his name, but Frank, filled with rage and suspicion, remains unconvinced. Though he sees Chicken Man being tortured, Frank can’t shake the doubt that the hustler might have betrayed him. The situation leaves Chicken Man in a dire position, uncertain of what he must do to regain Frank’s trust.

What Did the Governor Tell Muhammad Ali?

Meanwhile, Muhammad Ali triumphs in the boxing ring, but his victory is overshadowed by the tense atmosphere surrounding him. Accompanied by Detective JD Hudson, Ali tries to enjoy the night, his optimistic spirit undeterred by the negativity around him. However, Hudson, aware of the racial tensions and hostility that Ali faces, remains on high alert. He sees the malice in his colleague Bill Mason’s eyes and understands the challenges faced by Black people daily.

Ali’s positive outlook contrasts with Hudson’s awareness of the discrimination he endures, even as a respected detective. Ali advises Hudson to focus on future change rather than dwelling on current injustices. Their conversation is abruptly interrupted when the governor’s entourage stops their car. Hudson steps out to assess the situation, but Ali refuses to stay inside. The governor, seething with hatred, orders Ali never to return to Atlanta.

Hudson drives Ali to the airport, convinced that the boxer will comply with the governor’s command. However, Ali reveals his strong connection to Atlanta, explaining that the city has given him back his identity. This declaration deeply impacts Hudson, who gains renewed hope for a better future for the Black community.

Did Frank Kill Lena?

The episode reaches a critical point when Frank Mo and his men manage to free themselves from their restraints and escape the party house. Before their escape, the robbers force them to strip and hand over their belongings. Lena, still with Vivian and Maxine, is unaware that they don’t know she is Tommy’s sister. Vivian devises a plan to escape through the air duct, but Maxine thwarts her efforts.

In the ensuing chaos, Frank’s henchmen overpower Tommy, and the robbers lose control of the situation. Lena gets knocked unconscious, but she later wakes up to find Frank and his men looming over her, demanding to know if Chicken Man was part of the conspiracy. Terrified, Lena trembles before the screen cuts to black, followed by the sound of a gunshot. While it seems likely that Frank kills Lena, his actions are driven by a need to eliminate anyone involved in the night’s betrayal.

As the episode ends, viewers are left wondering how Chicken Man will navigate this dangerous situation. His life hangs in the balance as he fights to prove his innocence and reclaim his shattered dream of becoming Frank’s right-hand man.

What’s Next for Chicken Man and Detective Hudson?

Detective Hudson, meanwhile, receives a call from Chief Jenkins to investigate the robbery at Vivian’s house. Unbeknownst to him, this case will not only become a defining moment in his career but also a significant event in Atlanta’s history.
