Meanwhile, having passed by a priest in the Season 4 finale, a shaken Wyatt admitted to Anna when they got back home that he’d just seen one of the ones who’d molested him. Right before we went to a commercial, Oscar, in possibly the shortest scene ever, watched on a monitor as LaQuita was busted by the cops. (Was she eye-screwing Broderick during this scene, or what?) Finally, she threatened to have Jim kicked out if he didn’t give her Wyatt’s address. If he needed a new place to live, perhaps he could crash with Celine? In response, he argued that Katheryn really didn’t want the divorce as badly as she thought, because if they split, he could be compelled to testify against her.

And, as a matter of fact, Katheryn did think he was going to take it. “You really think I’m going to take this?” he warned. Maybe he could turn a trick to raise money? He liked whores, after all, she pointed out. But her lawyer had advised her to keep their funds separate until the divorce was final. | Downstairs at the hotel, Jim was making a scene about his declined credit card with handsome young Broderick when Katheryn arrived, smiling like the cat that was about to swallow the canary. ‘MY CREDIT CARD WAS JUST DECLINED, KATE!’ The haves and the have nots season 5 episode 1 recap veronica dies “My family,” she spat back, “was cremated.” When Benny tried to insist that he and Hanna were her family as well as Q was, and invited her to come stay at their mom’s new house, she just shook her head in disbelief. That being the case, Benny tried to reassure her that when she got past that anger, her family would be there for her. “I’m gonna get even with them,” she said, referring to Jim, David, etc.

Not only did she freely admit that she was stealing from would-be clients, she remained 100 percent committed to bringing down the curtain on the tragic chain of events that her manipulations had set in motion. But you can probably predict how that went. On his way out, the man passed Benny, who made yet another last-ditch attempt to get through to his sister. She didn’t and, adding that she knew who he was, suggested that he leave, fast, and be glad that she’d only robbed him. “You think you’ll really get it for $1,800?” He did. “Is that it?” she asked, upon finding $1,800 in there. ‘YOU STARTED THIS!’ | At the hotel, Candace escorted a john into her room and had him hand over his wallet. As the scene drew to a close, Hanna volunteered to come by Katheryn’s new house - not to stay on, just to help her new maid figure out how the lady of the manor liked things. The hotel that Jim could no longer afford. “He’s just the manager of the hotel,” Katheryn replied. She’d even cancelled all of his credit cards! So “who is Broderick that’s got you smiling like that?” Hanna asked. When she hung up, she explained to her friend that oh yeah, she was very serious about divorcing Jim. After Mitch dropped by, and he and Benny excused themselves to the kitchen, Katheryn got a call from a man named Broderick that had her grinning from ear to ear. Not after everything that went down between their families. When Hanna expressed discomfort at not having her own money, Katheryn suggested that she come back and manage her new home. ‘I NEVER LIVED ANYWHERE I DIDN’T HAVE TO PAY’ | At Hanna’s new home, Katheryn comforted her friend in the wake of her Season 4 finale confrontation with Candace at the funeral home. In the end, Justin only went so far as to admit that he “took care of” her before copping a feel while re-cuffing the prisoner. When Jeffrey apologized for what Veronica did, Justin said not to worry, “we got that bitch.” What did he mean by that? Jeffrey asked. What’s more, he had no intention of losing Jeffrey. After assuring Jeffrey that he’d disabled the cameras in the room, Justin revealed that there had been no developments with his wife… as he hadn’t been home since the big courtroom reveal.

‘YOU’RE MY MAN’ | As “Afraid of Flames” began, Justin, pretending he wasn’t already well-acquainted with Jeffrey, escorted him from his cell to an interrogation room… and moved in for a kiss. But what we really wanted to know going into the episode was, did Veronica die in the Season 4-ending car crash brought about by the unlikely tag team of Justin and Melissa? Well?!? Read on and find out! Did Veronica really die? Promos for the Season 5 premiere of OWN’s The Haves and the Have Nots focused only on Candace’s thirst for revenge - against her mother, the Cryers, David… pretty much everyone who’s ever been on the show.
