## Summary - **Lisa and Starr** spend the night at **Carlos's** to avoid the riots, but protests continue to fill the streets when they drive home the next morning. - Starr is terrified when they have to pass through a police checkpoint, and grips the door handle. They make it through without issue, but Starr does not let go of the handle until they get home. - **Maverick** asks Starr to hang out with him that day, promising her ice cream and the chance to watch *Harry Potter*. - Starr relays her father's theory that the Hogwarts houses are really just gangs. - They wear the same colors. - They never snitch on each other. - Some, (the Death Eaters, at least) even have matching tattoos. - **Maverick** plays Tupac as he drives. - Starr lightheartedly mocks him for showing his age, but Maverick insists Tupac cared about uplifting black people. - Starr tells Maverick what **Khalil** told her about Tupac's definition of Thug Life. - Maverick asks what Starr thinks Tupac meant, and she replies those at the "bottom of society" "get the short end of the stick," and are also feared the most by society. - **Maverick** continues to push Starr to explain how drugs, racism, and a lack of opportunity trap communities like Garden Heights in a cycle of poverty and crime. - He says that people become drug dealers because they need money and "don't have a lot of other ways to get it." - He connects this to the lack of proper education in minority communities, drug industries, and a justice system that disproportionately punishes black people. - Starr realizes that the protests and anger in her community are much bigger than **Khalil**. - She decides that she cannot be silent if she wants the system of oppression to change, stating "my silence isn't helping Us." - **Maverick** and Starr arrive back at the store and find **DeVante**. - It becomes clear that he is trying to hide from someone, he finally admits he is trying to hide from King because King wants him to "handle" (kill) the people who killed his brother **Dalvin**. - Starr realizes that the gunshots she heard at **Big D's** party were the same that killed DeVante's brother. - DeVante wants advice from Maverick on getting out of the gang, since Maverick got out years earlier. - **Maverick** says that his father was the "biggest drug dealer" Garden Heights had ever seen, effectively making Maverick a King from birth. - Maverick had to “king” since childhood as a way to survive, people would have it out for him because of his father, but as a King Lord people would have his back. - Once he had children, he decided the gang was not worth it anymore. - He took a drug charge for **King** and went to prison for three years. - There, he reconnected with his father, who told him how much he regretted missing time with his own children. - In exchange for protecting King, the latter let Maverick leave the gang. - **Maverick** agrees to help **DeVante** get free of **King**, and says he can start by working in the store. - While showing him how to put price stickers on items, DeVante opens up to Starr about feeling helpless as he watched **Dalvin** die, a feeling Starr knows all too well. - Maverick allows DeVante to stay with the Carters that night. - Later, Starr overhears her parents fighting, Lisa angry with Maverick for putting the family in danger by bringing DeVante home, and more broadly for insisting they continue to live in Garden Heights. - She says she has made her choice and will do what she needs to do for her children.
