What happened in Power Book IV: Force season 3 episode 3?
Power Book IV: Force season 3 episode 3 shows Tommy discovering two crucial truths. First, he finds out that D-Mac survived the ambush and returned to CBI headquarters.

Second, he realizes that Diamond and Jenard decided to reinstate D-Mac without his knowledge. These actions expose the secret plan to eliminate D-Mac, which is a plan linked to King Kilo, and reveal that Diamond was aware of the hit and withheld that information.
This discovery is significant as it reveals the extent of internal decision-making that now occurs now that Tommy is no longer there. Throughout Power Book IV: Force season 3, he has been working on his agenda, but the coalition has been evolving in the background. The last scene shows that Diamond and Jenard are doing things to protect CBI, but they aren't concerned about Tommy's control or visibility.
Moreover, D-Mac enters the basement of the barbershop without knowing that a hit has been ordered. His return reveals that the ambush was unsuccessful, prompting Diamond and Jenard to change their plans immediately. Tommy's revelation links these hidden elements together, which shows that D-Mac is under threat from more than just competing gangs.
How does this discovery change Tommy’s place in the coalition?
In season 3 of Power Book IV: Force, Tommy seeks to gain more power and take charge of Chicago's crime network. He thinks he knows what the groups are trying to do and why they are doing it. That idea is called into question by the end of episode 3. Tommy knows that his power in the alliance is weakening now that he knows that CBI brought D-Mac back under its control without consulting him.
The most obvious sign of this change is Diamond's silence. He has had to deal with pressure from others, expectations from himself, and King Kilo's rising power. Because of this, he makes choices that keep CBI stable, even if they make it harder for Tommy to keep an eye on things.
The end of the episode reveals that Tommy is relying on relationships that aren't as safe as he thinks they are, as he draws closer to his goal of controlling Chicago.
It also shows that Tommy and Diamond are becoming increasingly different from each other. Their relationship is based on strategy and mutual needs, rather than trust. In Power Book IV: Force season 3, Tommy is determined to get payback on Ortega and puts his personal battles ahead of everything else.
Diamond, meanwhile, focuses on maintaining numbers and defending CBI’s position. These conflicting priorities create space for miscommunication and secrecy.
Tommy’s realization signals a new phase in the coalition. He now understands that loyalty inside the group is conditional. Decisions are being made without him. And the threat may come from within as much as from rival crews.
How do Miguel and Ortega’s moves add pressure to the episode’s ending?
As internal tension rises, Miguel and Ortega's influence grows. In episode 3, they work together to weaken CBI and take away Tommy's power. Ortega places a mole in Stacy Marks' office to obtain information from law enforcement. Miguel still acts in ways that are difficult to foresee, which affects decisions about Mireya while he attends to his cartel duties.
These changes put more pressure on Tommy from the outside while his support from the inside is fading. In season 3 of Power Book IV: Force, Tommy has to deal with two problems: the coalition's alliances are split, and foreign factions are working together.
The last reveal makes things worse. Tommy discovers that people close to him are making decisions without consulting him, and Ortega and Miguel take a step closer to addressing him directly.
These different pressures reveal that Tommy's quest for power has made him weak. The coalition remains unstable, the CBI is only looking out for its own interests, and dangers from outside the group continue to grow.
