Power episode 2: Actress Lela Loren explains how wild scenes were shot

Let’s just dive in, shall we? “It’s Never Over,” written by Gary Lennon, casts a wide and brutal net exploring the limits of loyalties, finding your footing amid heartbreak, trust, and children. It culminates in Tommy’s (Joseph Sikora) failure to kill his best friend Ghost (Omari Hardwick). But what I want to talk about is how exactly the episode’s director, Sandford Bookstaver, shot that tour de force coke binge and beating scene with Joe Sikora. Rather than being a voyeur, we are sucked right into Tommy’s headspace and actions with a horrifying immediacy.
