Who killed Darryl James on 'Greenleaf'?
In Season 5, Episode 4, we learned that Lady Mae’s really terrible brother, Mac McCready, used to be the one who lured Darryl to the church basement on the night of the hearth and arranged to have it pass up in flames.
Thanks to Jacob’s sleuthing, he discovered that Darryl was intended to inherit the Greenleaf Estate from its authentic proprietor, a rich white lady named Loretta Davis, who was later printed to be his actual mother.

However, Darryl were given neglected of the will after Bishop satisfied Mrs. Davis to leave the house to him at Mac’s behest and under the assumption that she was once childless. Bishop told Tara he only just realized that Darryl were the meant beneficiary, and suggested Mac killed her father to stay him from uncovering the truth.
"I want you to know that we’re in this together… looking back sadly to a place we can’t go back to," Bishop said in his sit-down with Tara. "Is there any way that we can get past this once and for all?"

The church leader later admitted that the procurement of Greenleaf Estate allowed him to establish Calvary Fellowship. "The only reason this building… the only reason it exists is because I was given a house by a Mrs. Loretta Davis," he advised his congregation. "And with that house for collateral, I was able to get a loan from the bank to build this church."
But the cash that followed led him down a gloomy path. "It wasn’t success, it was a succubus, a demon of wealth and power seducing me," Bishop confessed, noting that his greed blinded him from the truth. "I was too enchanted with what I had to gain to consider the cost and who had paid it in the flames with his life."

The upcoming 'Greenleaf' spin-off will likely be about "the rise of the women."
With Bishop’s death in the penultimate episode, writer and writer Craig Wright set the level for Lady Mae to take over as lead pastor. "The story is going to be about the continuing rise of all of the women in the family and them facing the struggle that the men faced 35 to 40 years ago," the govt manufacturer explained in an interview.
Craig added in a talk with TVLine that Greenleaf was all the time headed in that direction. "I knew that the series was inevitably going to have to be about the eclipse of male power, because the male power in the Black churches, it’s like the sacred cow. It’s the thing you’re not ever allowed to kick at," he said.
"So I knew that if we were gonna tell a story that had any live energy, it was gonna have to be about gnawing away, in the most respectful way, at the foundations of male authority."
We can’t wait for the Greenleafs’ go back. All five seasons of the drama at the moment are available to movement on Netflix.
