When his eldest daughter is passed up for the lead role in ''Theatre/{{Annie}}'', he consoles her by telling her that he knows how it feels to work hard for something and not get it, and that sometimes in life you don't get what you want on the first try, and that the only thing to do is to keep working at it. Tasha, meanwhile, is more irate at the school passing up her daughter for a white girl and demands that she and Ghost fix the situation; while she's well-intentioned, James insists that part of their job as parents is to prepare their children for the fact that sometimes in life, you lose, and that they aren't going to always be there to fix every problem. Never the less, Tasha goes behind James' back and bribes the school to give their daughter the part.

* GreyAndGreyMorality: It's hard to find a single person among the main characters who isn't some shade of Grey. The criminals put a lot of stock in family and loyalty, often risking themselves to help each other out, while those in law enforcement don't tend to be above using underhanded (or even illegal) tactics in the course of closing a case.

Turns out, Tommy really did plan on killing him and he does it by stabbing him to death.

* IdiotPlot: In this hyper-violent & unforgiving work centered around the criminal underworld, multiple characters are driven by their base instincts, and make decisions based on assumptions, misunderstandings, emotions, and poor logic - more than what is typically associated with crime dramas such as this. One would think managing successful careers in both legitimate & criminal business, law enforcement, politics, etc, would require one to be a bit more reasonable & thoughtful.

The series focuses on James "Ghost" St. Patrick (Creator/OmariHardwick), owner of Truth, the hottest new nightclub in New York, and major player in the NYC drug trade. Ghost sees Truth as his retirement plan; a way out of the game and into legitimacy, but must face struggles as his drug business comes under attack from rivals and the law. Meanwhile, his personal life is no less a struggle; his wife, Tasha (Creator/NaturiNaughton) and best friend and partner Tommy (Joseph Sikora) both try and drag him in deeper into the drug business.
Further complicating matters is the reunion between Ghost and his highschool sweetheart, Angie (Lela Loren), the woman who he never fell out of love with, and - unbeknownst to Ghost - one of the lead prosecutors trying to bring down his drug empire.
