Recap of episode 1

Season 2 of Power Book III: Raising Kanan opened with Kanan in Virginia Beach where he was happy and away from all the violence and blood of New York City.

However, his mother came to take him back and it all ended. Back in NYC, Howard spent the last three months in the hospital. He claimed he didn't remember who shot him, but Shannon was skeptical.

One of Howard's doctors told her that his amnesia was surprising but not unexpected and that his case was a miracle. It was later revealed that the police officer who donated his bone marrow was now in remission.

After Shannon drove Howard back to his home, he told her that he must've gotten a second chance at life and wanted to make the best of it.

Kanan, on the other hand, returned to South Jamaica and realized that his mother now ran the neighborhood. She took over an entire floor of the apartment building they lived in and moved the entire operation off the street.

As Marvin was arrested the night Howard was shot, he was forced to attend anger management meetings. His relationship with Jukebox was nearly irreparable.

Lou-Lou was frustrated with Famous' unprofessional behavior and Raq had begun to pressure him to focus more on the drug trade, as it was a business that had a lot of scope to make money.

Lou-Lou then met Zisa and recruited her for his studio, but it was also revealed that Lou-Lou’s girlfriend, Jessica, was cheating on him with music producer Crown Camacho and wanted to move to Los Angeles.

Unique was also released from police custody after witnesses placed him elsewhere from where Howard was shot. However, he is now going to face a battle against a competitor who may be even more resourceful and ruthless than him.

Towards the end of this episode of Power Book III: Raising Kanan, Raq was seen waiting at Baisley Park, the place where Howard was shot, for none other than Howard himself. The episode was titled The More Things Change.
