Things are moving fast on 'The Haves And The Have Nots'.  In the promo, Benny (Tyler Lepley) confronts Mitch Malone (Brett Davis) about his feelings for Candace (Tika Sumpter) and he admitted that he is in love with her. In the latest episode, Mitch and Candace engage in what seems to be like flirtatious banter and that is making fans wonder whether she is pregnant with his child or not.

Candace's pregnancy has been the subject of discussion for a long time now though it has barely been addressed or even touched upon. For the longest time, fans were convinced that Charles (Nick Sager) was the father of Candace's baby. Well, Candace refuses to make it easy for fans and doesn't even want to accept that she is pregnant. In fact, she throws Landon Peyton (Kristian Kordula) out of the hotel room when he suggests that she should take the pregnancy test. 

Benny has been playing the protective brother to Candace lately, and fans are wondering why he doesn't want to trust his sister with Mitch. Candace does deserve some happiness as her character has been quite a windmill for eight seasons due to her own internal conflicts and troubled romantic associations. Currently, there is much debate on whether Candace is going to end up with Mitch or Charles.

While Candace's future seems uncertain, what's happening to her mother, Hanna (Crystal Fox)? She seems like a real boss lately, owning everyone who tries to come in her way... literally. Earlier, David (Peter Parros) and Jim (John Schneider) walked in on Hanna going through personal accounts in Kathryn's (Renee Lawless) bedroom.

David makes the mistake of trying to take on Hanna, and she with a poker face, tells him to come forward to take the papers. When he comes forward, she hits him with a candlestick. He calls a cop, but Hanna quickly turns the tables on him. Meanwhile, what's the original ice queen Veronica (Angela Robinson) upto? She's getting someone to follow Colby and it looks like he might just be polished for snack.

'The Haves And The Have Nots' airs on OWN on Tuesdays at 8 pm.
