Veronica’s son Jeffery Harrington (Gavin Houston) has reached his wit’s end with his mother and begins to implode. Candace Young (Tika Sumpter) works hard to ward off a reaping that is long overdue and haunted by a horrific crime that she and Jeffery Harrington have committed, pulls out all the stops to cover her secret while continuing to seek revenge against every one of her enemies. Meanwhile, Katheryn Cryer (Renee Lawless) shows her family and friends just how far she’ll go when someone crosses her.
