Tension will be running high in the upcoming The Chi season 7 episode 5. The parties are over, and it's back to real life, and knowing Chicago, it's not going to be smooth sailing. Since Douda's death, everything has felt eerily calm in the neighborhood, and it seems like everyone is just waiting for the next shoe to drop.
In the next episode, conflicts will arise between Nuck and the rest of the mob, especially with Reg's shocking return and his desire to take over as leader. Meanwhile, there's a lot to unpack in Alicia and Bakari's partnership. Titled Safe Harbor, The Chi season 7 episode 5 will be released next Friday, June 13, 2025, at 3 am ET, only on Paramount+ with Showtime.
Directed by Deondrat Gossfield and Quincy LeNear Gossfield, the episode continues The Chi's signature of drama in Chicago's criminal underworld and everyone connected to it.

A brief recap of The Chi season 7 episode 4
It was Mother's Day in The Chi season 7 episode 4. Emmett decided to host a Mother's Day party for all the mothers of his children, while Alicia held a get-together for mothers who have lost their children. Meanwhile, Jake and his older brothers, Reg and Trig, celebrated the occasion with a surprise reunion with their mother, Peaches.
The episode also saw Papa going to Pastor Zeke for a loan to help out his mom and the church that his father left in debt. However, instead of a loan, Pastor Zeke gave him what he called a down payment for his father's church, despite Papa saying that his father's church was not for sale.
Elsewhere, Tiff opened up to Nuck about feeling that Alicia killed the wrong person when she went to avenge Rob's death in The Chi season 7 episode 1. Unknown to her, she was talking to Rob's real murderer.
What to expect in The Chi season 7 episode 5?
Titled Safe Harbor, the next episode is ironically far from being safe for everyone, whether it's within the crime business or their personal feelings. The Chi season 7 episode 5 is expected to heighten the drama as new dynamics are tested, like Nuck as the new leader of the mob and Alicia and Bakari's partnership.
Meanwhile, Tiff has started to open up about her feelings, like rejecting Nuck in the previous episode. She's going to open up even more about what she thinks of the past, of Rob and his death, and any new romantic prospect. But besides internal conflict, another one comes into the mix—Detective Toussaint, who continues to investigate the show's criminal underworld.
Here's what audiences can expect in the next episode of The Chi season 7, per the synopsis:
"Tensions run high as Nuck sets a daunting tone with the mob; Tiff opens up to Kiesha about her conflicting feelings; Bakari bumps heads with Alicia; Pastor Zeke is approached with an ungodly proposal; Detective Toussaint begins her hunt."
