The fourth episode starts as Brianna (Eve) has to deal with Jeff's (RonReaco Lee) death and the sad fact that her four kids now don't have a father. Eric (Taylor Sele) who in the previous episode found out that Naomi (Brandy) got pregnant around the time they were together, goes to her house to confront her. The topic has to be put on hold as Naomi gets the call about Jeff's death. Jill (Naturi Naughton) meanwhile wakes up in bed with the lady she cheats with but gets the shock that her girlfriend Tina is coming to her place forcing her to kick out the other woman who tells her she did nothing wrong.

The episode focused more on the womens' personal relationships and their own conflicts. Brianna is shown not showing grief after Jeff's death which puzzles everyone. But it's kind of justified seeing as the man recently cheated on her and dipped. Jill is having anxiety as she avoids Tina and grapples with coming clean to her girlfriend.

Meanwhile, Eric just wants to have a relationship with his daughter but Naomi's not ready to break the news to Jojo (Precious Way). The episode also showcased beautiful soundtracks and we were treated to Brandy and Naturi Naughton's incredible voices. Circumstances lead Eric and Jojo to bond a bit with Naomi later telling the truth to her daughter which brought some happiness in this sad episode. Jeff's mistress Alexis showing up at his funeral made for a funny scene as Brianna after faking calmness goes in for a full-blown tackle. Even though the two later act as each other's support with Brianna finally being able to process her feelings and cry, the episode threw a curveball at the end.

After giving a beautiful eulogy for Jeff, Brianna and Alexis stand over his casket while Alexis cries. In a hilariously shocking moment, the mistress throws up on his face as everyone looks on. Brianna figures out that Alexis is pregnant and the episode ends on that note.

Jeff although dead, continues to create problems for his wife and we can't help but sympathize with her. She may have loved him, but the man is more trouble than he is worth. Watch the next episode to find out how Brianna deals with the mess Jeff created.

'Queens' airs Tuesdays at 10/9 C on ABC.
