POWER season six returns to television screens in early January with fans desperate to know who shot Ghost, also known as rich businessman and club owner James St Patrick. There are several suspects but one fan thinks Angela Valdes, Ghost’s lover, may have survived her fatal shooting in season five and be out to get him.

In his 2014 autobiography (tự truyện), legendary British comedian John Cleese suggests that while some people are “paranoid” (người mắc bệnh hoang tưởng) — they believe without evidence that people hate them and are out to get them — other people are instead “pronoid,” a word he borrowed from oncologist (bác sĩ chuyên khoa ung thư) and comedian Rob Buckman.

Brianna and Marsali have some contact in season five after not interacting much previously. Outlander fans will see the two of them developing a firm friendship as Brianna continues to struggle with her sexual assault, particularly after learning Stephen Bonnet (Ed Speleers) is still alive and could be out to get her and baby Jemmy. The latest episode of Outlander saw Brianna and Marsali bonding after she thought Bonnet had kidnapped (bắt cóc) her son from the house.
