“They usually don’t come out during the day, but after the last time, I can’t rule it out,” Olga warned as they walked into town.

“That’s alright. I’m hoping to get a look of these ghosts you speak of,” Boris admitted. “Come to think of it, they are probably a key to what happened here.”

“Them or Coryn, but I doubt he’d enlighten us, even if he was here,” muttered Terra, glancing around. Next to her, Lakeisha was uncomfortable, but she didn’t want to stay back with everyone here. “Oh well, looks like your wish is granted.”

They were at a decent distance from them, but the ghosts were right here. Terra heard Lakeisha take in her breath sharply and Bristol moved backwards a little, but they weren’t spotted yet.

“How interesting,” Boris pondered. “I think you are right. They aren’t wraiths. Hmm...”

“So what are they?” Olga prodded him.

“Observe them, dear. Do they look violent when they don’t realize we’re here?”

Looking at the ghosts, she had to admit, they looked mostly like people going about their business. So what did it mean?

Lala Anthony On People Saying She Can’t Act – ‘If You Can Do It Better Then Why You Not Getting The Jobs I’m Getting?’ + The Hilarious Reactions To The Fatal 'Power' Twist!

Lala Anthony heard y’all saying she can’t act, and now, she’s responding. Find out what she said inside…

  WARNING: If you haven’t watched the latest episode of “Power” yet, stop reading.

  The last episode of “Power” was an emotional one for Lala Anthony as her character – LaKeisha Grant– was killed off the show. What’s crazier is the fact her home girl Tasha St. Patrick (played by Naturi Naughton) was the one who blew her brains out. It had to be done after Keisha signed that paperwork saying she would work with the feds to bring her boyfriend Tommy Egan (played by Joseph Sikora) down. Besides, being on a show like “Power,” it’s inevitable that you’re going to be killed off at some point. It’s also the last season of the drama series, so we expect folks to be dying left and right.

Stopping by Power 105’s “The Breakfast Club,” Lala talked about what it was like shooting her final scene and how she found out she was being killed off the show.

”If you’re going to leave a show, then you want to leave a show with a bang, literally," she said. "You want people to talk about it. You don’t just want to disappear, and nobody cares about it. I feel like this is a moment people will always talk about.”

Interesting.

The “Power” actress said she doesn’t let her 12-year-old son, Kiyan Anthony, watch the show, but she did let him see this episode.  We would have surely thought this would have been the one episode he SHOULDN'T watch.

“Power” creator Courtney Kemp and “Power” producer/star 50 Cent sat her down to deliver the news her character was going to die.

“I understood it. It’s a show that people die. You just never know when it’s going to be your chance. To be honest, LaKeisha lasted a long time. That character was never supposed to be that big or grow to that. To see where LaKeisha started and where she ended, it’s just a testament to the fans who fell in love with her, the fans who hated her, and the fans who just wanted to see more.”

Speaking of fans hating, Lala shared how she feels about people who say she can’t act.

“Not really. You got to be worried when people aren’t talking. My thing is that…I’m doing it. So, if I couldn’t do it, then why am I doing it? If you can do it better then why you not getting the jobs I’m getting?”

She said just because she had a different journey to become an actor doesn’t mean she didn’t put the work in.

”These people aren’t just giving me jobs because I’m me. They can hire anyone. They’re giving me jobs because I go in there and I put the work in,” she explained.

Not only does she put the work in, she has a platform where she can get more eyeballs on a show/movie.

”And I also bring a following with me. I have almost 10 million followers on Instagram. People watch what I do. What’s the point of having these great shows if nobody’s watching them? You want people to watch. So, if you can do it better then you bring your 10 million followers and you do what I do.”

To be fair, that is actually getting the job because you're you.  At least in part.

Lala said people just want to hate and have a reason to hate. She said when icons like Debbie Allen, Samuel L. Jackson and Phylicia Rashad tell her they love how she’s playing her character on “Power,” why would she be concerned with what trolls are saying on social media.

“If they telling me that, you think I give a f*ck about what some Twitter troll or Instagram person say? If Debbie Allen is telling me, ‘I want to work with you. I love what you’re doing.’ I don’t care what nobody else ever says to me,” she said while talking about attending Tyler Perry Studios grand opening last weekend.

Welp, there you have it.

Lala also talked about her new role on Lena Waithe’s “The Chi,” starring and producing a STARZ show titled “Intercepted” with 50 Cent, her 12-year-old son Kiyan dating, how she feels about her estranged husband Carmelo Anthony not playing in the NBA, and more. Peep her interview below. Start at the 22:04-minute mark to peep her clapback to the trolls:

After the last episode of "Power" aired, La hopped on social media to react to her shocking death:

The prosecution is going for the jugular! Get a sneak peek of tonight’s all new Power titled, “The Kind of Man You Are.”

Courtesy of 2016 STARZ Entertainment

No title was more correct for an episode than last week’s Power, ‘Things Are Going to Get Worse.’ Ghost is trying his hardest to keep a low profile while locked up, but Marshal Williams isn’t here for it and neither are his fellow inmates. Plus, Agent Mike Sandoval (David Fumero) added another level of drama for Ghost’s case by planting the gun he used to kill Knox in his office at TRUTH and Mak was able to get the death penalty put on the table! Keisha is scared that she’s going to end up in her own orange jumpsuit after watching the feds search the St. Patrick home. However, Tommy is able to quell those fears with a little sweet talking and a whole lot of D. Tasha tries to maintain by keeping her kids in check, but Tariq isn’t making that situation possible. ‘Riq feels the need to go through a douche-bag phase since Kanan has become his puppet master. Dre is expertly moving weight through TRUTH and he needs to to keep the pockets of Kanan, Jukebox (Anika Noni Rose), and non-factor character full so they don’t reveal the truth that he knows Kanan is alive. And finally Tommy has expertly moved into his new role as top drug kingpin, but there’s a possibility that Julio who’s in charge of distro and Domingo (G-Rod), a Primera’s first aren’t willing to fall in line with him at the top.

Now for Power: Season 4, Episode 3 titled, ‘The Kind of Man You Are;’ directed by Larysa Kondracki and written by Jeff Dix the heat goes up a notch.

The federal prosecutors turn up the heat on Ghost by pulling his known associates in for questioning, forcing Tommy to execute a plan that diverts their attention from his drug organization. Meanwhile, Ghost butts heads with the new second chair on his case who sees through Ghost’s façade. Back in prison, Teresi learns more information about Ghost and begins a blackmail scheme. After Greg is laid to rest, Bailey Markham resurfaces to help clear his friend’s name, focusing his attention on taking down Angela as the mole. And in his father’s absence, Tariq seeks out Kanan’s guidance. (via STARZ Entertainment, LLC)

Check out this clip from tonight’s episode where Ghost meets the new second chair, Terry Silver (Brandon Victor Dixon) for his case:

Terry seems like a smug fellow. Let’s find out when you live tweet Power, ‘The Kind of Man You Are’ with us at @WeSoNerdy tonight at 9/8c. Until then, here are some pics from tonight’s episode.
