Benny is a good brother. He's a much better brother than Candace deserves. She constantly lies to him, claims to have his best interest at heart, uses him and yet he still agrees to help her get rid of a body. Sure, it's Quincy's body (the guy who kidnapped, abused his nephew and set his mom's house on fire), but that's besides the point - Candace doesn't necessarily deserve him but she needs him. He's the literal only steady thing in her life and the one person who puts up with all of her crap and sets it aside at the end of the day because he loves his sister to death. Candace, on the other hand, clearly loves her brother - aside from Oscar (I think?), he's the only person the show she says she loves and actually, genuinely means it. Candace's problem is that her need for power and money seems to cloud her judgment and puts her in situations where she need's her brother to dispose of the dead man she and Jeffery stabbed 27 times, kidnapped her son, lied about killing him, abused him, abused her and her entire family. It takes Benny offering to get rid of the body for her to finally beg him to not get involved in any of her mess, and even then he stills vows that he will get rid of the body for her.


Jeffery is also an idiot, a purebred dumb ass, but not for the same reason as Jeffery because I can understand why he still loves his mother (at least he claims to). It's his mother. You can always get a new wife, you can always fall out of love with someone but you can just never have another mother and Jeffery has to struggle with his being an evil, crazy bitch. I believe that his love for his mother is the driving force behind him wanting to put her away because she's a danger to herself and everyone around her. She's INSANE. This scene always gives us a rare look into the D.A. being a human instead of being the plot-driven antagonist the show's always made her out to be. She arranges the trials to be separate so he can testify against his mother and no one else. That's as far as the compliments go for Jeffery. I don't know why he decided to grow a sack of balls just because he was around's Wyatt white-trash crack head ass, but as soon as Candace came over and I saw the way he talked to her, Jeffery immediately stopped being anything adjacent to one of the decent characters in the show. For one, is he really blaming his screwed up life on Candace? Because Candace didn't hit her brother with his car. Candace wasn't the one who let Wyatt drive his car that night. Candace wasn't the one who covered up for Wyatt, thereby making her an accessory to the crime. The only thing Candace did was show him how to be comfortable with his sexuality and himself. Say whatever you want about Candace but when she wants to be, she's the most loyal friend to have on your side. I haven't even gotten to Jeffery knowing Wyatt was the one to hit her brother and him looking her in the face everyday since season two and lying to her face. Jeffery is such an idiot in love with Wyatt's bitch ass, he can't even see straight at this point and the worst part is that it isn't even his fault. His only view of "love" at this point is falling for someone and staying with them for better or worse (or should I say absolutely terrible). His models of love are his parents (eh) and the Cryers (EH). That being said, it's still going to be Fuck Jeffery Harrington season for the rest of the year because, as Candace pointed out several times, he was an "active. participant." I wish she stomped on his ass. But it's all good because Candace is going to destroy the two of them, and I personally can't wait.

EPISODE GRADE: B+
It was a good episode because it made me mad and that's the best thing a show can do for me is getting me heated.
-Katheryn continues to be the only person on the show I'm rooting for (and Landon, but he's not even in this episode).
