Oh you should never disrespect Ella (Cassi Davis) and it doesn't matter whether you are going through profound marital problems. In Episode 8 of 'Tyler Perry's House Of Payne, the Calvin-Miranda drama intensifies. After an excruciatingly long discussion with Curtis (LaVan Davis), Calvin Payne (Lance Gross) storms off after he realizes that his mother Ella has been talking to Miranda Lucas-Payne (Keshia Knight Pulliam). He throws a fit and slams the door. But, our leading lady isn't having that. She storms right back into his apartment and says that she doesn't really care whether he's stressed out or not, he has no right to talk like that to her. That's great Ella and that's inspiring. But sis, your own husband disrespects you all the time and orders you around, so maybe try to fix that too, while you're at it?

Nevertheless, before Ella leaves, she shows the way to Miranda, who somehow manages to wear Calvin down. She practically begs for him to come back, and at first, he seems as if he just won't melt for her charms. But as the end of the episode shows, he can't say no to her and they share a kiss. Seriously? After all the drama they went through and put us through, they're going to get back together, in a flash? But obviously, it's not going to be so easy. Their divorce case is going to drag on for a while, so Miranda can keep asking for eons whether Calvin misses her or not.

This was the mainstay of the episode. Most of it went in with Curtis...being Curtis, or Ella going to CJ and Janine's house to look for Calvin. Oh, if we were wondering about had happened to Malik's (Doc Shaw)  pregnant stripper girlfriend, then we don't have to worry anymore. She's moved into CJ's house and he is least pleased about it. We're guessing that storyline is going to come back with a bang and be infused into the whole Calvin-Miranda drama? 

Episode 8 was entertaining and it was fun to see Ella being sassy. Now lady, just show some of it in your own house. 'House Of Payne' airs on Wednesdays, BET, at 8 pm.
