What to Expect in “War Requiem”
This episode arrives on the heels of Episode 8, titled “Build Back Better,” which concluded with a significant and violent shake-up in the Chicago underworld. The fallout from that event drives the action in “War Requiem,” pushing characters into a desperate scramble for power and survival.
Tommy Egan’s mission for revenge is expected to be the episode’s central focus. The previous episode saw the death of his half-brother, JP Gibbs, in a violent act carried out by Jenard Sampson that also claimed other key figures. This loss is predicted to fuel a dangerous, single-minded rage in Tommy, making him more unpredictable and lethal than ever as he seeks payback.
The emotional and psychological impact on Tommy will be huge, as JP was one of his last true family bonds. We already saw the grief boiling over into straight-up rage.
Other characters are caught in the crossfire. Diamond Sampson is placed in an impossible position, forced to choose between his loyalty to his brother, Jenard, and his tense partnership with Tommy. Shanti Page, a smart and strategic player, may see an opportunity in the chaos to form a new alliance to fill the power vacuum.

The official synopsis from IMDb hints at the episode’s high stakes, stating it will involve “revenge, new alliances and dangerous secrets,” leaving everyone to “fight dirty in a game with deadly consequences”. This suggests that the established lines between allies and enemies will blur further as the series nears its end.
The episode title, “War Requiem,” itself is a strong indicator of the tone. A requiem is a mass for the dead, signaling that the consequences of this war for control will be fatal for more characters.
Looking Ahead to the Series Finale
“War Requiem” is the penultimate episode of Power Book IV: Force. The series finale, Episode 10, is scheduled for release on Friday, January 16, 2026. This final season, which premiered on November 7, 2025, will conclude Tommy Egan’s Chicago story after three seasons.
