Here is the full release schedule of the episode according to different time zones:
Who stars in the Godfather of Harlem season 4 episode 6?
Headlining the cast once again is Academy Award-winning actor Forest Whitaker as Harlem crime boss Bumpy Johnson, who balances ruthless ambition with a highly personal moral framework.
Joining him are Ilfenesh Hadera as Bumpy's wife, Mayme, Antoinette Crowe-Legacy as his daughter, Elise, Lucy Fry as Stella Gigante, and Erik LaRay Harvey as Bumpy's old school friend and trusted right-hand man, Del Chance.
New and returning faces are also seen in Godfather of Harlem season 4. Rome Flynn joins the cast as Frank Lucas, the authentic gangster who threatens Bumpy's reign. Flynn has already worked on Grey's Anatomy, With Love, and Chicago Fire.
Returning cast members include Vincent D'Onofrio as Vincent Chin Gigante, Whoopi Goldberg as activist Fay, Elvis Nolasco as Mr. Crocket, and Erik Palladino as Joe Colombo.
What happened in episode 5 and what to expect in Godfather of Harlem season 4 episode 6?
In season 4 episode 5 of Godfather of Harlem, titled Concrete Jungle, the tension between business, betrayal, and revolution finally boils over. Bumpy Johnson, always the strategist, tries to cut Joe Colombo's concrete gang out of a profitable building contract by going behind their backs and hiring Frank Lucas as the middleman from Stella Gigante's ranks.
However, the gambit blows up in his face. Frank, as part of a strategic power maneuver, double-crosses both Bumpy and Stella by informing Joe about the plan. The consequences are swift: Joe, by way of revenge, kidnaps Del Chance, Bumpy's trusted enforcer for decades, making it brutally clear that disrespect will not be on the table.
The double-cross not only costs Bumpy's bargaining power but also shatters any trust among the major players on Harlem's criminal chessboard.
Meanwhile, with Afeni Shakur now released, the group discusses how to be heard. Some advocate for continuing grassroots programs, while others argue for a bolder, more confrontational act to force recognition. The discussion escalates when someone proposes bombing a police station as a symbolic gesture against systemic oppression.
While Afeni urges caution, Elise surprisingly sides with the radicals, voting in favor of the plan and even suggesting they source dynamite from her father’s chemical plant. In the episode's final moments, she and Sadiq follow through—stealing the explosives after breaking into the plant and laying the groundwork for an explosive act that has the potential to be cataclysmic.
The stakes are high in episode 6, as Bumpy will have to handle two time bombs set to go off: freeing Del before it's too late and attempting to prevent Elise from blundering into federal prison or worse.
Elise's choice can have domino effects not only for herself but for the whole movement and her family. With police already monitoring Harlem like hawks, any act of violence can set off a massive crackdown. Meanwhile, Frank Lucas's treachery shows he's not only a wild card, he's becoming a real competitor in Bumpy's kingdom.
