The death of Ms. Pearl (Marla Gibbs) in “A Funeral Fit for a Quartermaine” is the precipitating event for Will (Ramón Rodríguez) and the team to wrap up the Rafael Wexford (Antwayn Hopper) case in an episode that devotes multiple segments to giving us a young Rafael (Yannick Haynes) and Will (Andres Velez) highlighting the ebbs and flows of their relationship including their first meeting. The segments provide a bit more backstory but lacks any shocking revelations. Despite their turmoil, the pair come together to honor the woman they both loved and plan a funeral together (which Will uses to spy on Rafael and Rafael uses for money laundering purposes) before getting caught in a shoot-out at the funeral.

“This Kid’s Gonna Be Alight” is most notable for the show’s epilogue. In investigating a murder of a rapper, Will (Ramón Rodríguez) and Faith (Iantha Richardson) begin investigating the studio which is a front for Rafael Wexford (Antwayn Hopper) to launder money and happens to be the same studio where Faith’s son Jeremy (Deion Smith) is working. Attempting to prove himself to Rafael, and keep his job after the GBI insinuate themselves into his business once more, Jeremy makes the biggest mistake of his life which provides Will only a single option to save the young man’s future (and also, coincidentally, push forward Will’s investigation into Rafael and his current activities).
