Spoilers for 'The Haves and the Have Nots' Season 8 Episode 2 'Power of the Purse'

The second episode of the eighth season of 'The Haves and the Have Nots' ended with David Harrington (Peter Parros) and Jim Cryer (John Schneider) discussing how they could take down both Veronica Harrington (Angela Robinson) and Katheryn Cryer (Renee Lawless). With Katheryn in prison, Jim still needs her money and so, he is a bit reluctant.

He does not have access to her assets now as Katheryn had transferred her power of attorney to Hanna Young (Crystal Fox). However, David eggs him on and tells him he could get Katheryn to transfer her assets so that she won't lose them in the event she is convicted. The two men retire to bed thinking that they have a solid plan, but as the promo for the next episode shows, they run into Hanna in the bedroom and this leads to a confrontation between David and Hanna.

However, longtime fans of the show may remember that there are theories floating around that David could be in love with Hanna. In fact, his ex-wife, Veronica Harrington even dreamt of them in bed together, with David telling Hanna that he loves her in the previous season. Fans were, in fact, surprised and wondered whether David and Hanna had a past that we do not know about.

In the next episode, after David and Jim catch Hanna taking some papers from Katheryn's bedroom, David tries to get those papers from her. However, as he makes a move, Hanna instead hits him with the bag, shocking David and viewers. We have been seeing a whole new side to Hanna this season. In the second episode, when Derrick (Keith Burke) tries to talk to Hanna, she calls the police.

He eventually leaves, but the police arrest him on an outstanding warrant — something he had been trying to avoid. Hanna had walked back into the house without a care after that.

Fans are, of course, excited to see what the next episode of 'The Haves and the Have Nots' holds for them especially after the confrontation. We might find out whether David is actually in love with her, and with things between Derrick and Hanna definitely over, there's a good possibility that this confrontation might lead to something else. For now, however, we just want to see Hanna being a badass.

A fan tweeted, "CMON HANNA KNOCK HIS A** OUT NEXT WEEK #HAHN." Another joked, "Hannah going ham next week lol #HAHN." A fan wrote, "Hanna isn’t playing any games this season. #HAHN."



 



 



 

Some fans are, however, worried about where Hanna is heading. Seeing as there are many changes in this season for Hanna, could she be heading down a dark path? A viewer expressed, "Hannah was always an 'annoying' kind of Christian, but now they really making her out to be a hypocritical type. Getting violent and everything. #HAHN." Will the confrontation have an effect on Hanna as well?



 

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