How It Went Down

Tyrell recalls a childhood memory where he, Tariq, Sammy, and Junior witnessed the Kings assaulting someone. At the time, a guy named Sciss was in charge of the Kings, and he was larger and scarier than Brick. The four thought the Kings were after them when the Kings ran by them and assaulted some guy. Sciss knifed the guy, and then told the four to run away. Tyrell saw the knife, and Sciss told them that one day they might be able to have one, too, but he would hurt them if they told on him. They ran away to their clubhouse and promised to never join a gang. Tyrell felt powerful and large after that pledge, but he’s felt smaller and smaller ever since.

Tina is fearful of sleeping because she thinks there are monsters under her bed. Tariq was the one who cast a magic spell to keep the monsters away, but now that he’s gone, she doesn’t know how long his old spell will hold up. Meanwhile, Kimberly attempts to leave Reverend Sloan’s briefcase at the hotel lobby but he asks for them to send her up with it.
