By the time we catch up with Dre (going by Tony) in the final episode of “Swarm,” she’s in a relationship with a woman named Rashida (Kiersey Clemons), and it’s actually going incredibly well. Although Dre runs into old problems with keeping up financially, they appear to be very happy together. Dre even gets the approval of Rashida’s parents. Unfortunately, the good times don’t last forever, as Dre’s gift to Rashida doesn’t go as planned. She attempts to give Rashida tickets to a Ni’Jah concert for their anniversary, but Rashida isn’t happy about it.
Obviously, there are better things that Dre could’ve spent the money on, like her half of the rent or something that she knows Rashida likes. She already told Dre that she doesn’t like Ni’Jah, after all. Rashida goes off on Dre, and the tension instantly starts boiling until Dre finally snaps. Frustrated by Rashida treating Ni’Jah tickets like they’re nothing, she starts to choke her until she can’t breathe anymore, ultimately disposing of the body by burning it on the side of the road. Rashida’s death is easily the darkest of the series because of how good she was with Dre. Their relationship seems like it could’ve potentially gotten Dre out of her murderous cycle, but as soon as Ni’Jah reenters the picture, it’s only a matter of time before Dre goes back to her old ways.
