'The Haves And The Have Nots' Episode 18 Review: Did Jeffrey lead his new friend into Veronica's death trap?
Well, there are certain people you do not want to mess with, Veronica (Angela Robinson) being one of them. For the entirety of this rather waffle-y episode, Jeffrey hears his newfound buff friend Colby whine about Veronica, which results in a drinking party at her house. They decide to have a naked pool party, just to bait Veronica. She's a woman who has set a house and car on fire, is she really going to worry about shooting a couple of boys in her pool? Well, at the end of the episode, she goes to get her gun, and the fate of the wild and the restless is up in the air. Will they or will they not survive Veronica's fury?
Veronica seemed to be having a rather tough time in the few minutes we saw of her in this episode. She was having flashbacks of her disturbed relationship with David (Peter Parros). It's ironic how he went from loving her and wanting to work on their relationship, to just wanting her dead. It's funny how love works, isn't it?
Meanwhile, in the usual 'HAHN' manner, there was a whole lot of other random stuff cluttered in this episode, the key points being that Benny (Tyler Lepley) confronts Derrick for raping his mother, Hanna (Crystal Fox). He gives him the much-needed beatdown, and doesn't really care for Derrick's whimpering on how he "was young, and a drug addict". Yes, you go get 'em, Benny! However, Hanna, who is a devout Christian, says she has forgiven him and believes that he really has changed, and wants Benny to clear his hands off the whole matter entirely.
Meanwhile, Hanna's potential new love interest, Al seems to be quite interested in her, though one's not really sure if he can be trusted or not. This is 'HAHN' after all, and who knows whether he's trying to con her into pawning off the entire Cryer estate, considering that she, by her own admission, has no idea about paperwork? As usual, 'HAHN' proves to be wild and chaotic, perhaps more so than usual, because there was really not much in this episode and we had to spend more time than necessary on the lunch between Madison, Jeffrey and Colby. Oh, there's an inconsequential conversation between Landon and Oliver, regarding Candace, meaning that Landon is still trying to latch on to her by any means possible.
'The Haves And The Have Nots' airs on OWN Network on Tuesdays at 8 pm.
