'Power': Why James 'Ghost' St. Patrick Can't Go Down Like This

(Spoiler alert: Please do not read on if you haven’t watched Sunday’s episode of “Power”)

By now, we all know that James “Ghost” St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick) isn’t the most innocent man around — in fact, he’s an outright criminal — but there’s no way he can go down like this.

Since the start of Season 4 of “Power,” the federal government has accused St. Patrick of murdering a federal agent Greg Knox (Andy Bean), and they are going after him hard. The only problem is, despite the overwhelming evidence against him, he really didn’t do it.

He was framed. Like really framed.

But that’s practically what every one says when they’re accused of murder and they have no real alibi, which means no one is really taking him seriously.

So, here Ghost is — in prison awaiting trial for something he genuinely didn’t do, and it’s so frustrating to watch because there are a billion other things the prosecution, including Angela Valdes (Lela Loren), could have arrested him for like drug dealing, fraud and even murder (just not Knox’s murder).

There were three whole seasons where St. Patrick was committing big crimes left and right and all around town, but nah. He’s about to be on trial for something he didn’t do, and that’s just not right. It doesn’t feel right that the biggest and most powerful drug dealer in the city would go down for a petty murder he didn’t commit.

And that’s the only reason why we’re certain that Ghost is most likely going to get out of this little mess he’s been placed in. An insignificant murder is beneath him. He’s better than this.

'Power': 7 Main Characters Ranked by How Shady They Are (Photos)

OK, so we get that "Power" is basically based on a shady premise, but there are levels to this.

In anticipation of Season 4, how about a reminder of which remaining (alive) characters are the shadiest of them all?
1. Kanan (50 Cent)

Do. Not. Trust. This. Man.

We don't really need to explain this, but if a man is capable of killing his own son for not carrying out his vengeful wrath, then there's very little we can put past Kanan.
2. Angela Valdes (Lela Loren)

OK, so home girl was in a relationship with James (knowing he was married) and once she found out he was Ghost she tried to play double agent and bring him down?

Yeah, definitely shady.
3. James "Ghost" St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick)

Ghost will always be bae, but even our love for him can't blind us from how shady he can be.

I mean, it's not like he cheated on his wife, killed people working for him, manipulated Angela, Holly and practically everybody else.

He's in it for himself and himself only and doesn't really seem too concerned with what happens to anyone else -- except Tasha or Angela (depending on which one he loves at the time).
4. Josh Kantos (Adam Huss)

No, no, no, no.

There isn't one good quality about Kantos. He's a snake at heart.
5. Tommy Egan (Joseph Sikora)

Tommy is a ride or die friend, but that doesn't mean he isn't a little bit (a lot bit) shady.

He fell out with Ghost (his apparent bff for life) because he wanted to keep the drug business going while the latter wanted to shut it down.

Oh and there's also that time he killed his girlfriend Holly.
6. Tasha St. Patrick (Naturi Naughton)

Even though Tasha has her sketchy moments (having an affair with Shawn), she can hold her own.

Tasha could've easily taken down Ghost's entire empire once she found out about Angela and all the other sketchy things he's been doing, but instead she understood that there was a bigger picture and ended up doing what was best for her and her family.

Go Tasha!
7. Lakeisha (La La Anthony)

Keisha was nothing but a good friend and even after she found out that Tasha was lying to her, she still tried to make the situation right.

It's too bad she's probably dead. Maybe. We don't know yet.
