Spoilers for 'The Haves And The Have Nots' Season 8 Episode 3 'The Long Drive Home'

In this week's episode of 'The Haves And The Have Nots', as Hanna Young (Crystal Fox) deals with Jim Cryer (John Schneider) and David Harrington (Peter Parros), her daughter, Candace Young (Tika Sumpter) could be going through her own ordeal. We are still waiting for Candace to take a pregnancy test — which she keeps avoiding — to confirm whether she is pregnant or not.

And if she is pregnant, there are a few theories on who the father could be. A likely candidate is Charles Frederickson (Nick Sagar), but the latest episode points us in another direction. When we catch up with Candace in this week's episode, she is talking to her brother, Benny Young (Tyler Lepley), about his love life which may or may not be non-existent. When they are speaking, Benny's friend, Mitch Malone (Brett Davis) shows up.

It is quite clear that there is something between Mitch and Candace, which is why we don't really know who Candace's endgame is between him and Charles. Mitch has always been a good friend to Benny and Candace, but perhaps it is about time he has become something more to Candace. And after their latest interaction, some fans are certain that one may be in love with the other while other fans are certain that the pair may have already done the deed.

So, is Mitch just in love with Candace? A fan tweeted, "Candace and Mitch are they have chemistry I don’t know why they got her fixated on the Barack wannabe. #HAHN." Another wrote, "Mitch is so in love with Candace. I wish she loved him back. #HAHN." A fan tweeted, "Benny suspicion is on point. Mitch better be [careful]. It’s clear as day that he really likes his sister #HAHN."



 



 



 

However, as we mentioned, some viewers are certain that Mitch and Candace would have gone a step further. We could not help but notice a little tension between the two when they were speaking. Mitch is quite concerned for Candace's health and Candace seems to reciprocate something. A fan asked, "So is Candace pregnant by Mitch #HAHN[?]" Another viewer is quite sure, simply tweeting, "She's pregnant and the baby Mitch's that's why he keep coming around #HAHN."



 



 

'The Haves And The Have Nots' airs on Oprah Winfrey Network on Tuesday nights at 8/7c.
