Raq has her eyes on the prize in this season ofPower Book III: Raising Kanan— and she’s willing to lay it all on the line to win.

In PEOPLE’s exclusive clip from the March 14 episode ofRaising Kanan, Raq (Patina Miller) reveals how far ahead she’s plotting during a meeting with Stefano Marchetti (Tony Danza), who is definitely interested in what she has to offer.

“He’s just f—ing with me because he can. Because he knows that I can’t go nowhere else,” Raq tells Stefano in the clip, referring to Quan (Paul Yen), her supplier.

“Hey, look. I don’t have much sway with Quan. And all we do is arrange for the transportation of the product, put down stakes for the other families to secure the territories where it’s sold,” Stefano tells her. “Everything else is between you and him.”

That answer is not quite good enough for Raq. “Yeah, well, you told me that I had to f— with him. That he was the only game in town,” she says.

Stefano explains that he has “an existing arrangement” with Quan, prompting Raq to reveal what she’s plotting: “Well what if I wanted to be Quan? Step up the ladder and be the supplier?”

A slightly shocked Stefano replies, “Well, there’s a lot of rungs you’d have to climb and then you’d have to have a friend with a whole lot of poppy fields — and those friends are hard to find and even harder to trust.”

“But what if I found one?” Raq says, not giving in.

“Look, you make me an offer — a better offer than our Vietnamese associate — I think that would be something worth discussing,” Stefano tells her as the clip ends.
