In episode seven of season two of Power Book IV: Force, “Chicago is Heating Up,” we see Diamond grow closer to Leon and his mother and question his life, Shanti and Claudia join forces, and Vic has to decide if he’s loyal to the police or Tommy.

I talked to director Sharon Lewis about highlighting the beauty, and the heat, of Chicago, showing a different side of the crime genre, Shanti and Claudia earning each other respect, and Vic’s decision to show his loyalty to Tommy and save his own life.

Power Book IV: Force airs Fridays on Starz.
