Once more, there are signs presented that The Chi is going to shift its focus with the exit of a character, but who is leaving, and where will the show go? Come find out.

Rather than instantly switch back to its usual storylines, The Chi eases us back into its usual drama but keeps the vibe introduced in episode 8.

For the most part, “Love Jones” acts as a reprieve from the drama thus far as reconciliations happen and love blooms between characters.

As Trig struggles with community policing, Nina struggles with her secret, Jake in being romantic, and Papa with potentially losing Maisha.

So, did we lose Otis, and if we did, who killed him? That’s finally revealed, and the person holding the gun isn’t who you may have expected.

We’re back to the moment we saw on the season premiere, with all but one of the situations playing out.

Tabitha Brown returns as Octavia during a pivotal time as all of Kiesha’s family seems to be having relationship issues.

An example of how community policing works is exhibited as Tiff decides the future of her marriage, Dre tries to keep Jada’s secret, and Jemma grows closer to Jake.

A lot of people’s lives take a turn for the worse this episode, and while some have good reasons for what they did, others? Well, it is just time to face the consequences.

In The Chi’s return, at least 8 or so months have passed, and in that time, Chicago may not have changed, but the people we know have.
