The midseason finale last August ended on an explosive cliffhanger when Senior Lancaster (Tony Vaughn) was murdered outside of his restaurant by a mysterious killer. In the series' return, Rondell (Brely Evans) and Evan (Brian White) team up to demand justice for the murder of their father, however, a new threat emerges to keep both off the case. Stephanie (Robin Givens) has a checkmate moment when Amara (Essence Atkins) discovers her in Titus's (Kendrick Cross) hotel room. This fuels Amara's desires to take down the unstoppable Stephanie once and for all. Bella (Erica Page) faces every mother's nightmare.

The new episodes will also feature "Grey's Anatomy" alum Mara Hall who plays Darcia Lancaster, Rondell's cousin and childhood best friend, as well as soap opera veteran Rick Hearst ("General Hospital") as Jerry Lannister the high-powered attorney and former law school classmate of Stephanie.
