While Kanan stood there hesitating to shoot his mother, he was startled from behind as Raq's bodyguard, Ruben, cocked his gun to take Kanan down. In a split second, Lou shoveled Kanan out of the way and took the bullet himself.
This is the moment that really sets Kanan on the path to becoming the person we know from the original Power.
It was important to bring the story full circle back to Manhattan, where it all began for this universe.
