Ep 28. Stronger Together

With the intense drama that has played out throughout the fifth season of Tyler Perry's The Haves and the Have Nots, episode 28, titled "Stronger Together," continues raising the stakes. The show involves the interconnected lives of the wealthy Cryer and Harrington families and the underprivileged Young family, and in this episode, tensions escalate as each group attempts to face their demons.

One of the main storylines focuses on Veronica Harrington (Angela Robinson), who is known for her conniving and ruthless ways. She tries to play both sides of the fence, attempting to extricate herself from her precarious situation while simultaneously involving herself in a business transaction that could turn things around. The transaction involves her shady real estate dealings, and Veronica enlists the help of her son, Jeffrey Harrington (Gavin Houston), to assist her with the transaction.

Meanwhile, David Harrington (Peter Parros) is dealing with his own set of problems, including his recent diagnosis of cancer. In the last episode, he received treatment from an alternative-health specialist, and here he continues to attend sessions to boost his immune system. He also seeks out spiritual guidance and receives a prophetic message that could change everything.

Other characters face their own obstacles in this episode, including Candace (Tika Sumpter) and Hanna (Crystal Fox), who are still dealing with the repercussions of the previous episode's events. Veronica managed to incarcerate Benny (Tyler Lepley) on false charges of grand theft auto and Hanna is doing everything in her power to get him out of jail. With Candace's help, they call in a favor from a former ally, but it remains to be seen if their efforts will pay off.

Meanwhile, the wealthy Cryer family is not immune to drama. Jim Cryer (John Schneider) and Kathryn Cryer (Renee Lawless) are still dealing with the fallout after a scandalous affair. Jim is trying to preserve his political career, but his personal life has put him in danger of losing everything. What's more, his son Wyatt Cryer (Aaron O'Connell), who was last seen spiraling out of control, is now going through his own trials and tribulations.

The episode 'Stronger Together' continues the many intertwining storylines, and it appears that things are only going to get more complicated from here. With each character dealing with their own individual struggles, it remains to be seen if they will band together for mutual support or continue to pull each other apart. What's sure is that the drama will continue, and the show's fans will be on the edge of their seats as the story unfolds.
