This review for the midseason finale of Season 3 reflects mixed feelings about the show’s direction. The reviewer gives the episode “Twin Flames” a 6 out of 10, expressing frustration with repetitive plot devices typical of Tyler Perry’s shows. The episode, which airs after a lengthy break, left the reviewer underwhelmed, hoping the second half of the season will improve.
In this episode, we pick up with Zach in a violent encounter with his brother, Jeremiah, which escalates to a near-fatal confrontation. Despite intervention from others, Zach’s aggression is relentless, and he appears to be driven by pent-up anger not solely related to his relationship with Fatima. This scene shows Zach’s internal struggles surfacing in ways that concern his friends and Fatima, who reflects on how much she can endure in their relationship.
The episode also touches on Fatima’s conversation with Angela, where she admits sometimes she just wants to vent rather than receive advice. Their friendship highlights different relationship dynamics, with Angela reflecting on her own dating patterns and Zach seeking counsel from Tony about handling emotions. Fatima eventually heads home, where she’s met by police investigating a violent incident involving Zach.
While the reviewer appreciates some of the character dynamics and dramatic tension, they’re disappointed with the season’s pacing and familiar tropes, leaving them cautiously hopeful but skeptical about the show’s return.
