'The Haves And The Have Nots' Season 8 Episode 3 Review: Has Hanna dethroned Veronica and is the new Ice Queen?
You don't mess with Hanna (Crystal Fox). The woman has turned straight-up gangsta for this season and can sock her opponents in the face with deadpan words and an eyebrow raise.
David Harrington (Peter Parros) and Jim Cryer (John Schneider) are aghast to find a cool-as-you-please Hanna sitting in Katheryn's bedroom and going through her stuff... like all accountants do. It leads to an altercation, and David tries to act the tough guy, only to get hit in the face by Hanna. How do they manage to make David look so dimwitted in front of Hanna? He mutters something like "Am I bleeding?" and our new ice queen Hanna says that she couldn't care less. David threatens to call the police on Hanna, but the woman is so zen that she doesn't mind at all.
Jim spews some racist garbage in front of Hanna, and thankfully David calls him out on it. Jim airily says that he wasn't being racist, he was being elitist. When will we get to see Jim suffering and miserable in 'The Haves And Have Nots'? The perfect finale would be him, dying on the street, penniless. A bit morbid, but that's what Jim deserves. Add Veronica Harrington (Angela Robinson) to the list too.
Hanna turns the tables around on David at the end of the episode and oh snap! Jim learns that she is handling Katheryn's estate. This should end well.
Speaking of the original Ice Queen, she gets sassed by Celine in Spanish. Celine abuses her in Spanish, and whew, that is a delight to watch. But of course, those who mess with her are pretty much digging up their own graves. She's not done yet and is still simmering with revenge against Colby, who had decided to taunt her by chilling in the pool naked. She's onto Colby and Tanner, Justin's brother.
On the other hand, we finally got to see Candace (Tika Sumpter). No mention of her pregnancy yet, but we got to see Mitch, though Benny (Tyler Lepley) wasn't pleased to see him. Benny is still furious about Derrick's audacity, but Candace has adopted her mother's zen in life. Meanwhile, Benny's little love story might be going south due to a venomous mansplainer named Sandy.
'The Haves And Have Nots' airs on OWN, Tuesdays at 8 pm.
