Tyler Perry's 'Assisted Living' Episode 8 Preview: What happens when Leah drops the bomb on Sandra and Phillip?
After practically throwing a fit because life in the quaint little Georgian town might be it for their family, looks like more bad news is on Sandra (Tayler Buck)'s way on Tyler Perry's new BET sitcom 'Assisted Living'. With their recent move to a new town after her father lost his job, Sandra and Phillip (Alex Henderson) are left to revel in what life might become for them, and it doesn't please them one bit.
While Sandra's brother Phillip has been more understanding of their parents' current crisis, Sandra has emerged to be the cart in the family, refusing to put up with any of the new adjustments. And things will only get worse in the next episode as her mother Leah (Courtney Nichole) has some big news to drop.
According to the official BET synopsis for the upcoming Episode 8 titled 'Swimming With Fishes', "Leah tells Sandra and Philip that it's time to get them registered for their new school." And that can never be great, can it? With the need to get enrolled in a school comes the very bitter realization for Sandra that this stay in Georgia is more permanent and her parents aren't joking at all.
It's obvious that Phillip is the more understanding one, and has been way more mature than Sandra all through this process of moving and the crisis their parents have been through, but school is something that affects him too. It's not just about Sandra leaving her social life behind in Chicago anymore. This is a fresh start and that can go either way and knowing the rebels these teens can be, the outcome of Leah dropping the bomb on them can be anything under the sun.
Perhaps they will take Grandpa Vinny's (J Anthony Brown) advice and get into irreversible mischief that will propel their parents to go straight back where they came from. Vinny and the kids have a vested interest in this too; while the kids get their Chicago life and friends back, Vinny can run his new business venture, the dilapidated old home he's bought with Jeremy (Na'im Lynn)'s inheritance in peace without the rightful owner pestering him about renovations constantly.
It is also to be noted that Episode 8 will feature Mr Brown (David Mann) and Cora (Tamela Mann) in equal proportions (keeping fingers crossed here!) And knowing the force that is Mr Brown, he's the only one who can match the older man should he get up to too outrageous a mischief. It's gonna be fun and explosive, y'all.
Tyler Perry's 'Assisted Living' airs on Wednesdays at 9 pm only on BET.
