Monique Gabriela Curnen is back as Detective Blanca Rodriguez for these latest episodes and her presence is going to put Tariq in a precarious position – according to Rainey Jr himself.

The actor told Digital Spy: "You know what Blanca does... she's persistent. She doesn't give up. She wants to take down the whole St Patrick family and she's not going to stop until she does.

"So obviously that's going to be insane for Tariq. He's gonna have to work around that, he's gonna have to keep his trail pretty light."

Behind the cameras, there's also a significant change with Brett Mahoney replacing Courtney Kemp as showrunner.

Mahoney is a seasoned pro, having been the showrunner for Empire, executive producer for Code Black, The Following and producer of CSI: Miami from 2009 to 2012.
