Queen Sugar Season 7 Episode 2 Review: After A Period, Peace Blooms

Slippery was the phrase to explain lots of the characters on Queen Sugar Season 7 Episode 2.

From Zane, to Roy Miller, Parker and Sam, and your complete St. Josephine parish council, slippery was an adjective that might describe all of them.

We’ll begin with the council assembly. There have been two the reason why I suspected this vote would go poorly for the Bordelons and their group.

First was how Sam requested Violet if she was prepared to simply accept the vote as a result of he knew he was. His confidence hinted that Sam had this vote purchased, paid for, and already in his again pocket.

Secondly, that is solely episode two of the season. If the Bordelons acquired a win this early, what would they should struggle for over the subsequent a number of installments?

This land wants to stay untouched. It’s the closing resting place for the victims of the Thibodaux bloodbath, however additionally it is my household residence. Our residence. My ancestors. Our ancestors have endured sufficient struggling in life. In demise, we have to enable them to relaxation in peace.

Nova

The council assembly was a farce, together with Parker’s shabbily acted crocodile tears. Maybe there are causes to overturn a historic landmark, even one the place a complete group was massacred, and their closing resting place can be disturbed.

I can not at the moment give you a sound cause, however that does not imply there is not one.

However to construct an outlet mall over it! May there be something extra crass?

The council tried to show this right into a vote about creating jobs for the residents of St. Jo’s, but when that was the case, they might have inspired the mall to be constructed elsewhere.

This vote wreaked of nothing greater than greed.

The council confirmed so little respect for the lifeless. I am curious if they might make that very same choice if it had been their ancestors.

Parker is again, and I can not say I am happy. I suppose we’d like a villain, and maybe Sam Landry is not sufficient on his personal. Or possibly it is simply too black vs. white with solely Sam.

I’ve by no means been a fan of Parker’s. The one moments I loved her had been when she went face to face with Charley. And as soon as once more, Charley’s absence is acutely felt.

Charley Bordelon West had all the time been fierce in a struggle, and I missed that fierceness on the council assembly.

However again to Parker.

Was there a cause Parker gave a distinct title to Billie within the grocery retailer? A cause apart from she is aware of many of the black group in St. Jo’s most likely hates her?

Violet appeared to strike a nerve when she introduced up Parker’s mom. There seems to be a secret there and I’ve religion Violet will ultimately uncover it.

Then we get to Micah and Zane.

When Micah was warned that Zane was slippery, I want he had requested precisely what that meant.

It was troublesome to get a learn on Zane. At one level, I believed he was hitting on Micah. At one other, I puzzled if he was wanting to make use of Micah’s well-known dad and mom one way or the other.

The one factor Zane did clarify was that his first curiosity is to make cash off of the artwork, and if that is not occurring, Micah is of no use to him.

We solely purchase what sells, and if we convey you into the Ivory NFT artwork present, that you must promote and maintain promoting. In any other case, you are lifeless weight.

Zane

I hope Micah rigorously learn no matter contract he signed earlier than turning his artwork into an NFT. I would hate to see Zane find yourself with possession rights over Micah’s work as a result of Micah was too keen.

And for all the mentions of Keke being answerable for the artwork present, we by no means noticed her, which felt odd.

Prosper’s date night time with Sandy was nearly excellent. Hollywood got here up with an exquisite thought to show The Actual Spot right into a Jamaican-themed restaurant.

Sadly, the perfection appears to have been marred by Ms. Parthena’s property being foreclosed upon by the Sheriff’s officers at night time!

Now, I am prepared to present the present some artistic license for dramatic impact, however foreclosures often take a number of months, generally near a 12 months, earlier than the home-owner is forceibly faraway from their property.

And Roy Miller (rep on the native USDA) is not simply slippery; he is probably criminally negligent in making an attempt to defraud black house owners out of their property by “shedding” or holding up their paperwork. I hope we see him behind bars earlier than the sequence ends.

Let’s contact on a few different issues earlier than we’re by.

It was nice to see Nova and Billie hanging out just like the outdated associates they’re, particularly after a hellishly dangerous day.

However realizing that when Billie lastly known as Vince, it was offscreen was a letdown. Billie retains saying how a lot she loves Vince and what a great man he’s, however she by no means specifies why she’s leaving him.

You realize you all the time have one foot out the door. Both step in or out. Make a selection.

Nova [to Billie]

And Nova and Dominic could also be in a dedicated relationship, however their chemistry has nothing on the sparks created by Nova and Mo. There’s a smoldering attraction between these two girls, and it could possibly be sufficient to overhaul the ember that exists between Dominic and Nova.

Mo: The seeds bear in mind the land they got here from.
Nova: My mom used to inform us about how ladies would braid rice and okra into their hair once they had been stolen from Africa to recollect residence.
Mo: Yeah, numerous African vegetation and crops are right here within the Americas due to these girls.

So what do you assume, Queen Sugar followers?

Will Violet uncover a secret about Parker’s mom?

Are Nova and Mo hotter than Nova and Dominic?

Is Micah going to get taken in by Zane?

And is there a child anyplace cuter than little Tru?
