True to the Game 3 plot: What will happen?

True to the Game 2 saw Gena leave Philadelphia for LA after Quadir was seemingly died in the first film, but her late lover's rival wasn't willing to let her – and all of Qua's cash – go so easily.

The film ended with a very-much-alive Qua saving Gena, and the threequel is set to pick up right after that.

The synopsis in IMDb reads: "The trilogy picks right up where True 2 left us. Gena's awakes to find that her mysterious savior is Quadir. Before happily ever after, Gena has 72 hours to go back to Philly to check on Bria and Gah Git and let them know of her plans."

But Jerrell is likely to get in the way, or course – will he take Qua out for real this time?
