Spoilers for 'The Haves and the Have Nots' Season 7 Episode 11

It is here. The long-drawn-out wait for the latter half of Tyler Perry's malicious, raunchy soap opera 'The Haves and the Have Nots' is finally over as the Oprah Winfrey Network show returned with season 7B. With tension building up as the curious case of Hanna (Crystal R Fox) and her son Benjamin Young (Tyler Lepley) gets more and most twisted this time, Candace Young (Tika Sumpter) had some tough calls to make. But all of that central plot development aside a whole slew of random and new characters made things very, very confusing for this half of the season's premiere. At the end of the day, however, it's the Young matriarch and the Cryer patriarch we are worried about. Jim Cryer(John Schneider) is definitely something - kind of your seasoned Reginald Hargreeves from 'The Umbrella Academy' if you will. And with this new addition to his life, a gunshot isn't all that far away for the a**hole father.

On one hand, we have Hanna's children snitching on her. With the Cryer's power of attorney now lying with the woman everybody else still refers to as 'the maid', the drama peaks in moments where she shares screentime with her kids. While some might note Benjamin Young aka Benny needs to grow the eff up, half-sister Candace is not screwing around when she says she has the family's best interests at heart. With Jim hospitalized and Katheryn Cryer (Renee Lawless) and her son Wyatt (Aaron O'Connell ) both in prison, looks like the have-nots might finally have the upper hand on the resplendent haves. Brewing on the other side of town is Veronica Harrington's(Angela Robinson) raunchy sex life amid a sea of darkness in her own home. But don't let all of that distract you from the real danger fronting the one man who still controls the deck - Jim.
