This week marks the highly anticipated 2-day return of the popular drama “Greenleaf” and the fans are ready to tune in.
Tuesday, August 28 (10 p.m. – 11 p.m. ET/PT) Episode: Strange Currents
After Lady Mae (Lynn Whitfield) kicks the Bishop (Keith David) out of the mansion for his previous infidelities and Zora (Lovie Simone) is brought home after running away, the Greenleafs find their church in danger when slapped with a $2 million dollar IRS tax bill. Lady Mae contemplates allowing the Bishop back home in order to save face in front of the congregation regarding the IRS bill. Grace (Merle Dandridge) questions the dilapidation of her family being a result of her return home, but decides to pursue Rochelle Cross (LeToya Luckett) instead – the woman responsible for driving the wedge in her parents’ once happy marriage. Countering with kindness, Rochelle offers to help Grace with one of her church outreach programs, while secretly scheming with former First Lady of Triumph Church Tasha Skanks (Asia’h Epperson) to take down the entire Greenleaf empire. Now safely home, Jacob (Lamman Rucker) and Kerissa (Kim Hawthorne) take Zora’s phone and ground her. Charity (Deborah Joy Winans) returns home with Nathan from Jabari’s tour in order to be there for her family.
