Power Book IV: Force received a major update and the announcement has made me even more excited about Tommy and Diamond’s story in season 3. Having survived Power season 6’s ending, Tommy Egan continued his story in Power Book IV: Force and joined the drug trade in Chicago. His alliance with Diamond allowed the duo to gain more territory and become major players when it came to selling drugs in the city. Despite facing numerous enemies and the FBI, the two have continued to grow their criminal empire heading into season 3, but their story could have a major twist.

Although there are plenty of storylines Power Book IV: Force season 3 must include, Tommy and Diamond’s tension is a crucial one. The two have coexisted for the first two seasons, but differences have begun to emerge, making their partnership all the more intriguing. While I enjoy both characters, seeing the drama and tension begin to build throughout season 2 has been fun, and I look forward to seeing it continue. With their story already capturing my attention, Power‘s major announcement has only added to the excitement, making me even more hyped for Diamond and Tommy’s season 3 narrative.

Tommy & Diamond’s Tension Is Even Bigger Now That Force Is Ending

The Duo’s Differences Look Set To Reach Boiling Point In Force Season 3

After the announcement that season 3 will be the final season of Force, Tommy and Diamond’s tension feels even bigger. With Starz introducing a new spinoff show focusing on Tommy and Ghost’s past before Power season 1, the network also announced that Power Book: Ghost and Force would be ending with their upcoming seasons. Ghost is already airing its last installment, but Force‘s final outing has no official release date. However, the spinoff does provide plenty of things to look forward to, and the central characters’ rift is easily one of its most exciting aspects.

While there is no guarantee that Tommy and Diamond will turn on each other, season 2 planted the seeds that indicate a major confrontation is brewing. Tommy’s hotheaded nature and poor communication frustrated Diamond throughout season 2, and with Jenard trying to cause even more tension, it seems like something is bound to happen. With the confirmation of Power Book IV: Force season 3 being the last chapter for the spinoff, the show can’t afford to put this story on the sidelines, meaning it will have to be addressed when the series returns, and I can’t wait.

Force Season 3 Will Have To Make A Major Decision With Tommy & Diamond’s Story

Force Will Have To Decide Where It’s going With Tommy & Diamond’s Partnership

With Force coming to an end, season 3 will have to make a major decision regarding Tommy and Diamond’s relationship. It is unclear exactly how long Force was originally planning to go on for before its cancelation, but I presume it at least had season 4 in mind. The spinoff has received a positive reception and remains popular, making season 4 a no-brainer had budgets permitted it, but sadly, season 3 will be the end. If the show was initially planned to go on longer, Tommy and Diamond’s growing tension would likely have been built more slowly.

Therefore, season 3 would have likely continued building the division between them which could have potentially set up the show’s future. However, the latest announcement means Force must make a big decision on its story. It could quickly drop the idea of splitting the two apart, or it could use this as a bit of a smoke screen. Power enjoys putting allies against each other, but it also likes a big twist, meaning the two could pretend to have conflict, only for them to reveal they were working together the whole time.

This could also be the perfect way for the show to write out Jenard. He may believe his brother is finally on his side and ready to betray Tommy, only to be backstabbed instead. While their partnership offers plenty of fun possibilities, there is still the chance Tommy and Diamond collide which could create a compelling end to the season, with the two facing off against one another. Tommy may be one of Power‘s best characters, but this wouldn’t be the first time he has feuded with a friend, making the duo’s season 3 storyline completely unpredictable.

Tommy & Diamond’s Feud Could Become Force Season 3’s Biggest Storyline

The Potential Feud Could Eclipse Tommy’s Ongoing War With Miguel

Tommy and Diamond’s potential feud may not have hit boiling point yet, but if it does, it could become Force season 3’s biggest storyline. Miguel and Tommy’s brewing war is easily the most important story heading into season 3, especially since Miguel kidnapped his own sister to antagonize Tommy. However, a feud between Tommy and Diamond would be even bigger considering they are the show’s two central characters. Their influence over Chicago’s drug trade would mean that an internal conflict would have massive ramifications, especially given CBI has already been through a civil war.

If they can’t settle their differences and get on the same page, I can only imagine the sort of devastation a war between them would cause on the streets of Chicago. Force season 2 has already highlighted how bloody these gang wars can become, with innocent civilians getting caught in the crossfire. Given Tommy has replaced Ghost as Power‘s most ruthless drug dealer, I can only see things getting worse in season 3, and if Tommy and Diamond don’t find a way to coexist, I fear a huge war could be on the cards during the final season.

Will Tommy & Diamond Survive Power Book IV: Force?

Force’s Final Season Puts Both Characters At Risk

The confirmation that season 3 will be Power Book IV: Force‘s final adds far more jeopardy to the final season, creating questions over who will survive. While I’m hoping both of the show’s protagonists make it out of the finale alive, there is still doubt about their fates. Although I have my worries about Tommy’s death in Power Book IV: Force, he still seems the more likely of the two to survive. After Ghost’s death, he is easily the franchise’s most popular living character, and killing him off Tommy would really limit options going forward for Power.

Although Tommy will appear in Power Book V: Origins, the show will be a prequel and is unlikely to feature Joseph Sikora, meaning the character could still die in Force‘s final season. I’m far more concerned about Diamond though, as he was first introduced in Force and is unlikely to appear in any future shows. If he ends up going directly against Tommy, it seems inevitable that he will lose the war and could end up dead as a result, especially considering Tommy isn’t the most merciful character and would kill Diamond under the right circumstances.

Diamond could also die trying to save Tommy. If the two end up settling whatever beef they have and tensions ease, they may work together to take down Miguel and their other enemies. However, this won’t be easy given their large status in the drug trade makes them a big target for several organizations, as well as the FBI. A happy ending for both is possible, but given it is Power Book IV: Force‘s final season, the show will inevitably want to go out with a bang, and Diamond’s death could provide that.
