We are starting to think that whoever came up with the idea for this tale, the book, and the series has no concept of the nature of power or the delicate balance between the oppressed and the oppressor. If they did, they would understand that giving the oppressed group an edge was not the only consideration; it was also how they chose to use it. This series is a major waste of time because the author completely missed the fact that women don’t transform into men if they have the ability. We’ve said it before, but seeing stories like The Power requires an emotional involvement on the part of the audience. That is why it hurts so much when they make a mistake. We really wanted to enjoy this series. We were so excited about its potential, but here we are, relieved that it is coming to an end shortly. Let’s go to the in-depth summary of The Power Episode 8.
Warning: Spoilers
Does Roxy Find Her Mother s Killer?
She receives a third of the Monk empire on her 18th birthday, continuing the discussion that took place in Roxy’s family in The PowerEpisode 7 of the series. Although Barbara and Terry are obviously upset about it, there is little they can do. As for Bernie, he is aware of the advantages of Roxy’s influence and wants her to go with Terry on his money-collection runs. This works particularly well with clients who bet on physically outpacing Terry but had to give in to Roxy’s might. Another thing that occurs is that Roxy discovers Eve’s video online where she uses her abilities to heal a girl and performs a trick in the ocean. Despite her conviction that it is a fake, Roxy can’t help but be intrigued. Online connections enable Roxy to meet Eve, who then invites Roxy to join her. Roxy, though, continues to not take it seriously.
Terry, on the other hand, is enraged with Roxy for dominating this situation. She is the reason why the clients are paying, not Terry, for example. He is not used to being in the background and nearly hits Roxy, but she avoids it. Later, they visit the former workplace of Roxy’s mother, a nail salon. Roxy is horrified to learn through her pals that her mother had a boyfriend by the name of Derek. Roxy had no idea. Before she exits the vehicle on the way back to her house, Terry provides her with more information. He explains to her that Roxy’s mother was murdered on the day of his wedding, therefore he did not want her to attend. But in order for Roxy to be away from her house, Bernie insisted that she go there. The fact that Roxy left early because she felt betrayed by her father and ended up at the crime site was a different story. Roxy is forced to wonder if her father, whose approval and acceptance she has sought her entire life, was the one who gave the order to kill her mother, leaving her confused in the present.
Why Does Rob Want A Divorce From Margot?
Margot’s private life is just barely hanging on. Because it would upset the delicate balance of the world, her son has made it clear that he does not want her to win the race for the Senate. In fact, he thought the man’s self-immolation was a kind of communication rather than pointless murder. He posts the footage of Ryan utilizing the power on Urbandox’s website out of frustration.
Rob is having trouble locating a spot close to Margot. Although he was always aware of her desire, witnessing the results of her goals come to pass is proving to be too much for him. He finds it unacceptable that Margot is holding everything inside and won’t discuss the problems affecting their family. We will agree that Rob is correct in this instance. But how fast he gives up on her is disturbing. Perhaps it has to do with the fact that men are never trained, the way women are, how to deal with a power imbalance. Rob is a scientist, but when he’s standing next to Margot, his identity is diminished to that of a husband of a different race who cooks incredible cuisine, which is a position that many wives of prominent politicians and businesses frequently encounter. In the meantime, Margot learned that Jocelyn was posting harsh remarks about her mother on social media; we saw some of this in Episode 1. Jocelyn acknowledges that she did not appreciate how their family had to modify themselves for her appearance when Margot questions her about it. Margot acknowledges that it is unjust and gives it some thought.
When Jocelyn learns that her brother posted the Ryan video online, the entire family decides to go camping so they can spend time together away from the chaos. She is going to use her power to attack him out of rage, but Margot uses her own power to stop her. The family learns that Margot has the ability at this point. Margot has Rob in a rage for keeping this from him. Margot claims she did it so he could legitimately claim plausible deniability. Rob promises to be there for her up until the election, after which he will ask for a divorce after she begs him to understand how much she needs him.
Why Does Tatiana Kill Her Husband?
The Power Episode 7 revealed that Zoia had given Tunde a message to pass along to her sister. In this episode, Tunde travels with Declan Glease as he approaches Tatiana and her husband for an interview. Unfortunately, only the fluffy questions have been kept and all of their inquiries have been deleted. We must also point out that this is a racist nation, and it is clear that they dislike Tunde. After the questions are finished, though, Declan decides to take a gamble and ask the president about the status of women acquiring power in his nation. Tatiana is forced to translate a deluge of abhorrent misogyny as a result. People barge into the room at that point and demand that the interview end. Given the opportunity, Tunde informs Tatiana that the general is none other than Zoia, who has given birth recently. Declan and Tunde are arrested and taken away for questioning before anything more can take place. The authorities have discovered Tunde’s website, on which he talks about the revolting women who are today the nation’s foes. Throwing Tunde under the bus and professing ignorance about these specific journalistic initiatives by Declan allows him to escape the situation. Declan leaves the jail but Tunde, who has been deceived, is allowed to languish in his cell.
Tatiana’s husband enters the room as she is getting ready for the day and continues to rage. This time, however, he does something to enrage her. Tatiana’s adored dog receives two kicks from him. Additionally, he describes how he will have Zoia beaten and killed. He is killed by Tatiana after she beats him mercilessly in a fit of rage. She must now, however, hide her traces. She summons her hairstylist, who is horrified to see the bloody mess in the space. In order to assist her family and her brother, Tatiana begs for his name. Shortly after, she knocks the woman out cold, perhaps murdering her. Tatiana sets up the bodies so that it appears as though the hairdresser killed the president. It’s time for the next phase of her plan, so she contacts security while feigning shock. Due to the tracker on her, Tatiana has not yet been able to use the power. She might move now that her husband has left the picture.
What Happens When Eve s Reality Is Exposed?
A video of Eve that was shared by one of the convent’s girls showed her using her abilities for healing and other things. Eve is concerned that since the video has gained so much popularity, people will learn her true identity and that she murdered her foster father. Her worst fears come true, and Mrs. Montgomery, her foster mother, appears on the television pleading for Eve, a.k.a. Allison, to be brought in. Sister Veronica hurries to call the police as soon as she notices this, but Eve intervenes just in time to stop her. She uses her influence to get Sister Veronica to join her and support her. The other churchgirls are now aware of everything as well, and their support for her is divided. While some think killing someone was going too far, others support her because they think the man probably deserved it. The friendship and support of Eve’s supporters have returned. However, it might all be snatched away once more. Sister Veronica claims to have seen God at the end of The Power episode 8 while bleeding from her eyes and on the verge of collapse. Without a doubt, Eve’s actions have resulted in this. The girls recognized that Eve had little choice when she decided to kill her foster father because they had experienced similar circumstances with other men in their life. Sister Veronica, on the other hand, is a different story. Even though she was always against Eve, she had never hurt the girl. She had actually given sanctuary to the numerous girls who had arrived at her door. It will be interesting to observe how Eve handles the current circumstance.
Final Thoughts
While the majority of The Power’s storylines have been fairly lighthearted, Margot’s has been particularly distressing. It is a result of her family and a firsthand illustration of what occurs when discussions between men and women lack gender sensitivity. No other person’s narrative makes it as clear as hers does. While the others are coping with overtly sexist environments, Margot, a seemingly strong woman raised in a liberal household, sees sexism as just another viewpoint. Everything about it is accurate, and we are very familiar with houses like this, which is why it is so difficult for us. In any case, with only one more episode left, we will witness the lives of all of our key characters approach a turning point where their influence will push them to make some difficult choices. We anticipate a great deal of heartache and some rebukes. We’ll have to wait and see how fascinating they turn out to be.
