A brief recap of The Chi season 7 episode 11

Alicia's revenge plot has been a core storyline throughout the season, and it continued in The Chi season 7 episode 11. Titled Ready or Not, Alicia and Detective Toussaint's partnership leads to Alicia trying to get close and earn the trust of Reg's new woman, Candice.

It's the next best thing they can do to get into Reg's inner circle and learn about all his dealings after the botched sting operation for the detective to arrest him in The Chi season 7 episode 10. Everyone, including Hannibal, is in hot water as Reg tries to find the snitch.

Meanwhile, Papa had Pastor Zeke join him in his Papa's Pulpit podcast to try to redeem the latter's reputation. The community also attended the celebration of life gathering for Jada, who made Emmett promise to leave Chicago after she dies so the kids can survive and live in a safer place.

The Chi season 7 episode 11 also teased Tiff finally giving birth and Bakari's death, although the latter was only a dream as he grows fearful about Alicia killing him.

Major events to expect from The Chi season 7 episode 12

There are a lot of things to expect in The Chi season 7 episode 12. Given that it's the finale, and based on The Chi's history, it's going to be an explosive one and will probably feature a couple of twists that audiences won't see coming. However, from the finale's synopsis and the running storyline of the season, here are a few The Chi season 7 finale highlights to watch out for:

• Alicia's revenge plan. She still hasn't killed Rob's killer, which she couldn't do because she doesn't really know who the real murderer is. But, she's after Reg this time, and she's bound to use Candice to either get Reg locked up or killed.
• Jada is dying. Whether she dies in episode 12, which is possible since The Chi doesn't shy away from killing characters during finale episodes, Emmett will be grappling with the emotional turmoil of losing his mother.
• Nuck has something to watch out for. The finale's synopsis teases that someone is returning who will shake up Nuck's world. In the season 7 trailer, a brief scene shows Roselyn, Douda's wife, aiming a gun at somebody. With Nuck being the one who killed Douda, she could be out for revenge.
