The Chi Plot and Cast
Tiffany is still undecided between Emmett and Dante towards the end of the season, so he chooses to move on. Tiffany meets Rob and kisses him after she initially picks Emmett.
Trig obtains video footage of Douda punching Marcus to persuade the mayor to leave town. While he is away on vacation, Roselyn seems to be the acting mayor. Christian and Keisha’s relationship is also formalised in the fourth Season.
Season 5 will be full of unexpected twists and turns. Douda and Trig could show up in the future Season. Tiffany’s connection with Rob is predicted to cause Emmett problems shortly. Jada’s most recent tests were negative, suggesting that she is on the verge of a new chapter after her last chemo treatment.
The new season will primarily focus on how the neighborhood residents can work together to defend one another. ‘The Wire,’ Showtime’s most popular drama, has been likened to ‘The Wire’ because of its relevancy and honesty.
Most of the actors from Season 4 will return for Season 5 including Jacob Latimore, Alex Hibbert, Yolonda Ross, Shamon Brown Jr., Michael V. Epps, Birgundi Baker, Luke James, Curtiss Cook and others.
