Sistas: Unraveling Threads of Deceit
In the first scene, Sabrina tells Andi that Gary is "giving Dahmer vibes," and that's the perfect stage to set for this episode. In the previous episode, Gary threatened to take someone out. Given his current reign of terror, that could be anyone.
Before we get to Gary, Sabrina is called into the boss's office, where her professional judgment is questioned. It appears she's about to be laid off, but the outcome remains unclear.
But Sabrina's professionalism isn't the only one called into question. Miss Marie confronts Andi over Gary's allegations. Andi assures her she's the right woman to handle her case. Miss Marie hires her officially but also floats the idea that she may hire a co-counsel. Hayden, who never came across a doorway or corner that wasn't fit for lurking, teases Andi over needing more to handle the case on her own.
Karen gets a call from the doctor's office. They found "something" in her prenatal test. They assure her the babies are fine, so what's going on? It could be any number of things, but if you thought we'd find out in this episode, you were wrong!
In other news, Danni has a battle of wits with Tony's kids. And the kids win.
Onto the good stuff! Zac confronts Gary over the money owed to him from his investment. After a bit of back and forth, Zac punches Gary in the nose and threatens to kill him. Zac performs the Lord's work here, but the Devil (Gary) is busier. Gary places a gun on his desk and tells Zac he doesn't have the balls to pull the trigger. It feels like they're setting up a "who shot Gary?" storyline and I'd be here for it because this dude is a menace. Penny shows up in the nick of time with her own bone to pick with Gary. Fatima later lectures Zac about being in business with Gary and offers to get her cousin Madam to handle him. We all know if Marilyn "Madam" DeVille got involved, Gary would be drawn and quartered before Fatima ended the call.
Penny questions Gary about the disappearance of Kimberly Potter, a girl from Gary's high school past. He says he had nothing to do with it, and I'm inclined to believe him. He has so many other sins to worry about. He tries to kick her out, but she refuses to leave. After a struggle where she threatens to go to the cops, he throws her to the ground, and she lands pregnant belly first!
And there's blood everywhere.
