SPOILER ALERT: This recap of Season 4, Episode 8 contains explicit plot details.
Making amends — or at least trying to — seems to be the theme of this week’s episode of “The Chi.”
Numerous cast members are reenacting scenes from the Chicago-filmed 1997 cult classic film “Love Jones,” starring West Side Native Larenz Tate and Nia Long, which shares a name with episode eight.
In the midst of their “Love Jones” date, where he picks up Tiff (Hannaha Hall) in a way similar to Tate’s character, Emmett (Jacob Latimore) gives her an ultimatum regarding their marriage. Emmett no longer wants an open marriage, but he has no leverage, it seems, due to his history of not staying faithful to one woman.
