Power Book II: Ghost[]
Season 1
Tameika is assigned by Cooper Saxe to be Tasha St. Patrick's attorney, intending to use self defense to angle for a plea deal and bail. Although she fails to land bail, she manages to get the prosecution to come to the table, where she threatens to drag James St. Patrick's name through the mud along with the entire Democratic Party. Relenting, they later agree to four years probation, on the condition that Tasha allocutes in court. Tasha refuses to do so as it would reveal her son as the murderer, and when Tameika herself catches onto this, Tasha fires Tameika on the spot.
Tameika leaves and tells Tariq St. Patrick to look for a new attorney for his mother, suggesting Davis Maclean as a suitable replacement. Cooper later came to her for help, but she ushered him out the door, clapping obnoxiously in his face and saying "I don't know you".
Tameika is later Tariq's lawyer after he is called to the stand. She asks Tariq if he killed his father to which he says Yes, and he states that he did so because he was a bad guy and Tameika understands. Tariq states that he will confess when going on the stand, but instead he outsmarts Saxe in court.
Season 2
Tariq asks to meet with Tameika after being accused of killing Jabari Reynolds and Ramirez. Tariq tells her that he didn't kill Ramirez, then she asks if he killed Jabari to which he doesn't answer. Tameika says that bodies continue to pile up around him, and she offers Tariq a deal of 5 years jail time if he tells her who killed Ramirez. Tameika along with Saxe and Jenny Sullivan later visit Tariq in his dorm room and ask him to take the deal of 5 years, but he refuses. Tameika wishes him good luck in court.
She talks to Saxe in a cafe and states that she still sees good in Tariq after he tries to look out for his sister. She wants to help Tariq before he becomes a bigger monster than Ghost was, but Saxe's feelings on Tariq remain the same and he questions if Tariq wants to be better. Tameika later pulls some strings and manages to get Yasmine back together with her mother Tasha under a fake name.
