Starz‘s P-Valley is finally back on the air. Set in the fictional town of Chucalissa, Mississippi the show follows the women who work at the popular strip club, The Pynk. Helmed by the owners, Uncle Clifford (Nicco Annan), and Autumn Night (Elarica Johnson), things look very different at the club than they did in the past.

Mercedes (Brandee Evans) has returned to the club while Keyshawn aka Miss. Mississippi (Shannon Thornton) has taken her talents elsewhere. Also, Diamond (Tyler Lepley) has left The Pynk for good. However, that hasn’t stopped us from learning a lot more about him.

‘P-Valley’ Season 2 is set to reveal more about Diamond’s past

There are a ton of mysterious characters on P-Valley. Much of the first season was about trying to uncover Autumn’s mysterious past. Now, season 2 is set to reveal Diamond’s past. As we know, the stoic bouncer garnered the attention of all that walked past him. However, he seemed fixated on Keyshawn, despite her tumultuous relationship with her boyfriend Derrick (Jordan M. Cox).

Though any romance between the pair seems dead following the explosive events of Murda Night, we are set to learn more about Diamond’s past this season. “We won’t know till we’re back in the room, but most likely! While his PTSD doesn’t define him, it’s an important part of him,” the P-Valley writers room tweeted when asked about Diamond’s backstory. “All that death and mayhem in the finale is gonna have a big impact Diamond… #PValley

Diamond had been hiding a huge secret

Fans were shocked to learn about Diamond’s big secret in episode 202, “Seven Pounds of Pressure.” Though we had long since known that the bouncer was in the military and had been dishonorably discharged from the Marines. However, in this episode, fans learned exactly what Diamond is capable of. He and Big L (Morocco Omari) got rid of Montavius’ body after Autumn and Mercedes killed him.

We also learned that Diamond practices root work. In the episode, after Mercedes crashed to the floor due to her injured shoulder, he practices hoodoo on her in an attempt to begin healing her arm.

It looks like we’re going to learn a lot more about Diamond before the season comes to a close. Hopefully, he will also return to The Pynk.

Will Diamond and Keyshawn reconcile on ‘P-Valley’?

After Keyshawn pulled a gun on Diamond in the season 1 finale of P-Valley and went back to her abusive boyfriend, it doesn’t look like the pair will ever reconcile. In fact in the season 2 premiere, after their confrontation at the dollar store, it doesn’t look like Diamond will ever speak to Keyshawn again.

Now that she’s set to embark on a tour with Lil Murda (J. Alphonse Nicholson), we highly doubt she and Diamond will ever cross paths again. “As we move forward into her next chapter, you will see her reckoning with that mistake, and really coming into her own as a woman, as a mother, and as an artist,” Katori Hall said in the YouTube video.
