You know when Veronica Harrington (Angela Robinson) is about to take revenge, things are going to go sideways. The title of the next episode is 'Showdown', and the synopsis sees the Ice Queen plan her most diabolic move yet... and that is saying something, considering her history of wrongdoings on the show.  Meanwhile, while she plots her revenge, Mitch's fate remains uncertain.

The Malones are not going to let him get away so easy after he scammed them. Uh oh, the ax will fall — but on whom? Veronica, in her own catty and racist style, has been trying to help Celine, for her own good of course. Who is she planning revenge on remains to be seen — though, as history proves, she has several targets. 

The mid-season finale is here and a lot has been happening. There's a lot to process when it comes to HAHN, and this season, more so than usual. In the previous episode, David (Peter Parros) tries to flirt with Hanna (Crystal Fox) because Jim (John Schneider) asked him to. However, Hanna is still in gangster mode and tells him to take a hike.

After a few moments of sexy banter, David has to leave her house. But here's the thing, David has actually caught the feels for Hanna, as he confesses to Jim later. Jim is amused but annoyed that he might be losing his only lapdog. David and Hanna do make a combustible couple and it would drive Veronica (Angela Robinson) absolutely nuts because she once had a nightmare about this. 

Jim is onto Mitch, who has scammed his Uncle Vinny of $25,000. Is Mitch going to die or will he be killed off before he and Candace can get their happy ending? Or will Candace save him? Or... as many fans want, if Mitch dies, this leaves the door open for Charles to walk right in. While we're at it, can we please finally learn if Candace is pregnant or not? This suspense is getting to us now.

'The Haves And The Have Nots' is an OWN show and will air on Tuesday nights at 8 pm.
