T’Chaka says that N’Jobu helped Ulysses Klaue steal vibranium from Wakanda for the black market. The fact that N’Jobu’s partner is Zuri, another undercover Wakandan, backs up T’Chaka’s theories.
Erik was wearing a chain that belonged to T’Challa, so he talked to Zuri about N’Jobu. Zuri says that N’Jobu was fed up with Wakanda’s isolationism and wanted to use Klaue to help free people of African descent all over the world by sharing Wakanda’s technology with them. Before T’Chaka could put N’Jobu in jail, he struck Zuri and made T’Chaka kill him. T’Chaka told Zuri to lie and say that N’Jobu had disappeared, and he left N’Jobu’s American son N’Jadaka to keep up the lie.
Erik became a black ops U.S. Navy SEAL and got the nickname “Killmonger” as a young man. Killmonger kills Klaue and brings his body to Wakanda at the same time. He is brought before the tribal leaders and says that he is N’Jadaka and that he deserves to be king. Killmonger dares T’Challa to a ritual fight. During the fight, Killmonger kills Zuri, hurts T’Challa badly, and throws him over a waterfall. Killmonger eats the heart-shaped plant and tells the others to be burned, but Nakia pulls out one of them.
Killmonger, with the help of W’Kabi and his troops, is getting ready to send Wakandan weapons to agents all over the world. T’Challa sets up an outreach center in the building where N’Jobu died.

At first, he sells futures on commodities based on weather trends. But after a nervous breakdown and some time off, he quits because he thinks his company doesn’t honor or value him. He chooses to run for office in Philadelphia, even though both he and Beth are unemployed at the moment.
William, Randall’s real father, drops him off in front of a firehouse on the day he is born. He is then taken to the hospital, where Jack and Rebecca adopt him. Jack and Rebecca first called him Kyle. Rebecca listens to William and decides to give him his name. She names him after Dudley Randall, who is William’s favorite author, but she won’t let William meet Randall. They can remember both the memory of their stillborn son and Randall this way, instead of replacing one son with the other.
Randy is nine years old when his teacher tells Jack and Rebecca that he is a smart kid who isn’t getting enough challenges at school. They choose to send him to Hanes Academy instead of public school. Randyll wears the number 36 and plays football in high school. Randyll stepped up and became the “man of the house” for his family after Jack died.
He finds out that he was accepted to Howard University, but after seeing Rebecca, Kevin, and Kate cry and feel hopeless over Jack’s death, Randall decides not to go to Howard and stay with his family to care for them. Randall ends up going to Carnegie Mellon University, which is where he meets Beth, who will become his wife. Randall and Kevin’s romance has cooled down, and they don’t get back together until they are 36 years old.
Kevin has been shown to publicly dislike Randall at some points in the past. Since they are on different high school football teams, they get into a fight. But there are times when they act like brothers too. Kevin is with Kate to support Randall when a woman pretends to be his birth mother to get money. This happens when they are teenagers. When they are 36, they fight in New York City, but Kevin tells people that they are brothers. Kevin leaves the theater on the first night of his Broadway show to comfort Randall when he has a worried breakdown.
Kevin is upset that Randall doesn’t seem to care about his acting job now that he is an adult. When Kevin asks Randall for help, they start to talk again, but Randall tells Kevin he doesn’t need to care what he thinks. Kevin goes to New Jersey to live with Randall in the end, but they still need to work on getting to know each other better. He enjoys Thanksgiving and every year, he and Kevin take turns helping his family re-create a certain Thanksgiving from his childhood. This includes going on a 3.4-mile hike, watching Police Academy 3: Back in Training, and acting like a hotel owner named “Pilgrim Rick.”
In season 2, Randall wants to adopt a baby to honor his father’s memory, but he chooses to foster an older child instead, even though people who want to adopt a baby might miss out on this child. They take in a 12-year-old girl named Deja while her mother, Shauna, is in jail. She acts like she’s been abused, but Randall and Beth start to get her to trust them and talk. Deja goes back home with Shauna when the charges against her are dropped. Randall and Beth are going to try foster parenting again after some time, but Deja will finally come back into their lives, and they will adopt her.
Randall later buys the building where William lived after reading a poem William wrote while looking at a Billie Holiday picture. He then becomes William’s landlord and tries to fix up the building: Randall decides to run for city council in season 3 after trying to get close to some of the renters that William liked. He wins, and his term as a councilman begins in season 4. Randy learns in season 5 that his mother Laurel may still be living.
When he gets to New Orleans, he learns that Laurel died of cancer in 2015 and never looked for him because she was in jail for running over. When William left Randall at the fire station, he didn’t know Laurel was still living. Laurel also didn’t know about William or Randall after she was freed. In flashforwards in season 6, Randall’s political career has taken off.
