'Tyler Perry's Assisted Living' Episode 5 Preview: Would Sandra whip up a storm with Grandpa Vinny's help?
Last week's double thrill of the joyride that is 'Tyler Perry's Assisted Living' saw Jeremy (Na'im Lynn)'s son Philip take matters into his own hands, trying to figure out the distress his parents are under, and the real reason why his dad was forced to quit the job. Stepping into the same game, but in not so favorable ways seems to be Sandra (Tayler Buck), Philip (Alex Henderson)'s sister, who can be expected to whip up quite the storm in the upcoming Episode 5 titled 'For the Family'.
When it comes to the official synopsis of the episode, BET keeps it short and precise. "Sandra has a less than favorable reaction to her new circumstances," reveals the network Perry's new sitcom airs on. Sandra has so far been the snarky big-city teen trying to wonder just why they had to move to the quaint Georgian town, and when they can finally go back home. Their mother Leah (Courtney Nichole) has tried everything to pacify the kids and after compassion, her motherly instincts have resorted her to blunt honesty about the two teens just making their peace with their 'new normal'. Is that why Sandra is retaliating?
Four episodes of not much rebelling later, Sandra is finally having a 'reaction' and knowing sitcoms, this could mean a literal reaction, like an allergic one given the dilapidated house they have moved into, or could be from the weed Grandpa Vinny (J Anthony Brown) is growing in his backyard. Or it could just be Sandra refusing to put up with their life in Georgia any longer. Something along similar lines happened last week too when Sandra and Philip discovered the reason behind their parents' distress and soon learned this stay was most likely going to be permanent. We don't know how exactly she is going to go about rebelling, but a rebellion sure seems in the air. It could all be a ploy to get her family to move back to the city again so at best, Jeremy and Leah better watch out.
A potential Vinny and Sandra team up could also be on the cards because neither is gaining from this move. Sandra misses her social life in the city, and the grumpy gramps would much rather do as little as possible in maintaining his new business venture while growing his weed and just chilling. With Jeremy and Leah's arrival, not only is Vinny being pushed for a renovation of the old home he spent all of Jeremy's inheritance on, but Leah is a nagging reminder of the illegal activity he is engaging in. So why not team up with the kids and works towards a common goal?
'Tyler Perry's Assisted Living' airs on Wednesdays, at 8/9c only on BET.
