The episode picks up exactly where we left off last week. Candice is being choked by War and he stops as he see's Quincy's body. Her killing Quincy seems to have bought her some time as War calms down and questions her about the money. They go back and forth for what seems to be, like, seven hours with "Where's the money?" "I don't have it" and it all accumulates in him shooting in her direction to scare her. He eventually gives her another eight days and we are poisoned with the cringiest line of the episode where War tells Candice he loves her and basically asks her to give him head, to which she replies:
Wyatt's too stupid to give my attention to. Maggie's too thirsty to give any attention to. And just to have a third thing, Mitch the bitch tries to convince Benny that War is bad news but, I mean, duh? Benny's just stupid...or desperate. Or both. I really don't care, all four of these characters just need to stop talking and keep looking good. Not shockingly, most of the action happens inside of jail. The D.A. Herpes calls Katheryn in and tries to blackmail her into talking by threatening to tell the public that her father exchanged admissions for sex with young girls Katheryn's claps back like she's watching Idol, and basically tells her to take notes on how to read someone. She tells her that legacy is more important than anything and that she best not try and toy with it because she'll end up on the shelf at Toys R US and she quickly clams up her oyester shells.
Just as Katheryn is returned to her cell, Veronica is taken out and thrown two cells down from Jim and David. Naturally Jim and Veronica get heated and David is done with all of the bullshit. Veronica keeps telling him that she's waiting for him to defend her but bitch, defend who? You tried to set his ass on fire. Jeffery is brought into the cell between the two of them and reveals he's been arrested for a DUI. Here we arrive at the best part of the season so far. So far we've gotten Candace slowly sitting by Quincy, Hanna be stubborn as hell, Benny sitting around trying to run a tow company and Wyatt getting high in his underwear because his dumbass can't wait twelve hours to get a hit of whatever and finally we get to something juicy as hell. The instant Veronica throws any bit of judgment around for him being arrested, he immediate claps back at her reminding her of her "lying" and "manipulating." Everyone caught their lives when he finally told that raggity bitch to shut up, right? It couldn't have just been me who popped up out of the cheer screaming when he essentially said he wanted a guy in the cell so he could have sex right in front of her. I was waiting for him to call Officer Justin in there, honestly. He threatens to tell David that she's been cheating before she shrugs it off because he already knows after Herpes gave them copies of the newspaper.
Jim is just the best in this episode. He sits around making slick comments as the Harringtons talk then he finally jumps in, bluntly asking if Jeffery is gay and reminding Veronica that literally everyone in town knew, knows, and she still refuses to believe it. Finally, it seems as if we get some development with David as he says he'll sleep with Maggie because it will make them "over." But when Jim attempts to fight Veronica (clearly he's not getting to her, there are steel bars in between them. Or metal. Whatever Tyler Perry Studios can afford on this budget they seem to have) David pulls him away and pushes him against the wall. Are you that stupid David? How can he be so in love with an evil woman after what she's turned into right in front of his eyes for almost no reason? Can we just remember that Veronica is crazy because she thought he and Maggie were having an affair? Which they weren't. Veronica baffles me. All of this madness is going on, there are multiple revelations (she let Quincy out of prison, she is the reason Wyatt was raped) but as soon as Jeffery gets mad about her being the reason behind Wyatt's rape, all she can do is start crying because she releases that Jeffery is still in love with him. I mean, this just completely shuts her the fuck up. Jeffery twists the knife by telling her she's an evil soul and never deserve to see the light of day. She walks off, sits in her cell and starts sobbing. Damn, bitch.
Benny comes to Candace's house and she meets him outside, presumably because she's still trying to get rid of Quincy's body and she just has no idea how to. Benny informs her Hanna's staying at a hotel and is mad, to which she replies: IDGAF. The only way she'll come stay with Benny is if she knows where the money came from but clearly Candace doesn't want to tell them she literally electrocuted her boss for him to give her all of this money. Benny gets more upset because she doesn't tell him the truth anymore. Candace, being Candace (even though she' understandably shaken), tells him she doesn't want to deal with this right now and tries to go inside alone but he pushes his way in and sees Quincy's dead body.
EPISODE GRADE: B+
Finally things are starting to heat up. About halfway through this episode is when I really started to get hype for the episode and the rest of this season. I thought the jail stuff felt really filler up until this point so it was nice to get some action in every scene there and it looks like after we moved past the previous night that we've been at since September 2015, Candace's storyline with the body is starting to pick up some steam! And, also, NO HANNA :D.

-"They take their lives into their own hands. Or they take a pistol..." Veronica, that was brutal.
-What took Jeffery so long to realize his parents were right next to him??
"When we get out of here, you're going to regret everything you ever did to me."
"What do you have? A desk? Scraped knees from being on a raggity old floor in a junk yard?" Jim's commentary in between all these little shots were heavenly.
"You just wanna...do Wyatt. And...any other man!" "Yes. I. Do." *dramatic music*
