In the final season of Power Book IV: Force, Claudia has survived being shanked in jail; however, she is still fighting for her life and trying to get back at Tommy. Blinded by rage and trying to run the Viagra Triangle, she is not able to appreciate the love that is in front of her with Elise.

Season Three of “Force” stars Joseph Sikora (“Power,” “Ozark”) as “Tommy Egan,” Isaac Keys (“Get Shorty,” “The Oath”) as “Diamond Sampson,” Kris D. Lofton (“Ballers,” “Snowfall”) as “Jenard Sampson,” Manuel Eduardo Ramirez (“Snowfall,” “Queen of the South”) as “Miguel Garcia,” Carmela Zumbado (“You,” “Chicago PD”) as “Mireya Garcia,” Adrienne Walker (“Law & Order: Organized Crime,” “FBI”) as “Shanti ‘Showstopper’ Page,” Shane Harper (“Hightown,” “The Teacher”) as “Vic Flynn,” Miriam A. Hyman (“The Chi,” “The Laundromat”) as “US Attorney Stacy Marks,” Anthony Fleming III (“Prison Break,” “The Beast”) as “JP” and Lucien Cambric (“Chicago P.D.,” “The Chi”) as “D-Mac.”

I talked to Lili Simmons, who plays Claudia Flynn, about Claudia leaning into her “White Devil” nickname, how going to jail was the best thing that happened to Claudia, Claudia and Vic’s relationship, and if they can get past their problems, and how her father’s treatment still affects her.

Power Book IV: Force is now streaming on Starz, with new episodes on Fridays.
