Greenleaf

After Lady Mae kicks the Bishop out of the mansion for his previous infidelities and Zora is brought home after running away, the Greenleafs find their church in danger when a $2 million dollar IRS tax bill arrives at Calvary. Lady Mae contemplates allowing the Bishop back home in order to present a unified front to the congregation regarding the IRS bill. Grace questions if her family is falling apart because of her return home, but decides to pursue Rochelle Cross 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 to ruin the Greenleafs and their family name. Now safely home, Jacob and Kerissa take Zora's phone and ground her. Charity returns home with Nathan from Jabari's tour in order to be there for her family.

Grace takes Rochelle up on her offer to help start a legal defense fund. Bishop and Lady Mae ask if parishioner Clara Jackson's Powerball winnings can assist with their IRS bill.

The Bishop responds to Lady Mae's threat with surprise divorce papers. Lady Mae learns from her divorce attorney that she will be left with nothing once the marriage ends, leading her to a day of alcohol-fueled soul searching. She drunkenly reveals to bar patrons that she intended to be a preacher like her old friend on TV, world famous Pastor Maxine Patterson. Now believing she has a higher calling to God as a preacher, Mae returns to Calvary content with the divorce. Grace meets with one of Rochelle's clients to help fund the legal defense program at Calvary, before deploying Darius to investigate Rochelle. Jacob makes a mess of Zora's room when he learns she was stealing offering money from Triumph. Charity is denied the opportunity to preach by Bishop, learns Kev and Aaron are moving in together, and is broken up with by Jabari.

Lady Mae visits her famous friend, Pastor Maxine Patterson, who suggests Mae take Calvary over from the Bishop. Mae and Bishop present a unified front to Clara Jackson at a party for the Round Table so they can secure her check for the IRS. Later, reeling from Mae's acceptance of the divorce, Bishop invites his friend Percy to the party and makes one last plea to his wife, proclaiming his love for Mae in a beautiful speech. Rochelle enters and claims to be in love with the Bishop, who asks her to leave. Rochelle departs, but first tells Clara to be careful of those Greenleafs. Clara goes to Lady Mae and backtracks on the check, leading Mae to double down on the divorce. Connie asks if Grace is interested in running Calvary if things get worse between her parents. Sophia fights with Zora after catching her contacting Isaiah from her laptop. Jacob and Kerissa send Zora to live with Mae for some tough love. Kevin calls the police when he learns Charity isn't out on tour with Jabari and took their son.

When Clara denies the Bishop and Lady Mae their check, they split off in search of a new solution to their IRS issue. Mae goes to Connie Sykes with the idea of taking Calvary over from the Bishop, but the Deacon Board thinks Grace would be a better fit. Grace adamantly resists, citing her unconventional ideas for the future. Bishop goes back to Rochelle and apologizes, intent on using her knowledge of cryptocurrencies to make an investment. Rochelle rudely turns him away, before deciding to take his business. Tasha - under Rochelle's instruction to start an embezzlement scheme that'll take down the Bishop and Jacob - uses her connection to Jacob to have him unknowingly sign documents that open a bank account in his name. Grace tends to Sophia after emergency surgery, which leaves her daughter unable to have children. Zora does early morning Bible study with Lady Mae. Kerissa is sad in Zora's absence. Charity gets high on Oxycodone after giving Kevin temporary custody of Nathan.

Lady Mae and Bishop have differing opinions on whether the First Lady should stay on at the church after the divorce. Bishop will give her the mansion and pay off the IRS himself, but she has to go after they announce the divorce to the congregation. Mae assures the stunned parishioners during the announcement that there are grand plans ahead for her final "A Day with Lady Mae" celebration, including Maxine Patterson as a headliner. This leaves Bishop worried his power at Calvary is in danger. Grace uses the Coralie Hunter murder trial -- a story Darius' newspaper is covering - as the first case for her legal defense fund. Rochelle meets with the Bishop to discuss cryptocurrencies to solve his IRS problem. Maxine brings her therapist friend Iyanla Vanzant to help with Charity. Zora is caught contacting Isaiah and Lady Mae puts her on further lockdown. As a result, Zora calls Kerissa to come home, but Jacob says no. Sophia throws her cross in the lake after she and Roberto breakup.

As Grace digs into the details of the Coralie Hunter murder case, she struggles to justify her killing of Mac. When Grace goes to meet Coralie, she is intercepted by the District Attorney, who threatens to reopen her case with Mac if she gets any further involved with his case. But after confiding in Darius, Grace decides to proceed and bails Coralie out. Lady Mae has Karine move the Bishop's Silver Jubilee in order to make the sanctuary available for "A Day with Lady Mae." The Bishop counters by taking money from their joint bank account and gives it to Rochelle to invest. Mae boots Bishop from the mansion for good. Percy allows Bishop to stay with him at his funeral home. Charity takes a singing gig at Percy's funeral home. Jacob kisses Tasha after he and Kerissa fight about Zora returning home for her birthday. Zora turns 18 and packs to leave with Isaiah. Sophia tears up her Bible and flushes the pages.

Despite Lady Mae and Kerissa's pleas, Zora leaves the mansion to go on tour with Isaiah. The Bishop claims to have no second thoughts about moving out of the mansion, but when he learns of Zora's departure he confronts Mae for not including him in the drama. He tries to make himself useful to the family but to no avail. Kerissa and Lady Mae try to find Zora, while Jacob apologizes to Tasha for kissing her and tells her it cannot happen again. Tasha quits Triumph and apologizes to Jacob for everything. Kerissa finds Zora and makes one last plea to stay that falls short. Hoping to convince Coralie to pass on the plea deal offered by the D.A., Grace uses Rochelle's connection at social services to enable Coralie to visit her children while free on bail, which sways Coralie. Charity turns down Percy's offer to take over the funeral home when he dies. Sophia decides she doesn't want to go to a Christian university.

In preparation for his Silver Jubilee at Calvary, the Bishop asks Grace to introduce him before his sermon - a job that would normally be done by Lady Mae. After Karine gives the Bishop the divorce papers, he confides in Percy his hesitance to sign them. After Bishop questions why Rochelle would want to be with a frail old man, she shows him their growing investment dollars and accuses him of using her just to pay off the IRS. Bishop caves to Rochelle's manipulation before visiting his dying friend, Pastor Lionel Jeffries. They argue about the affair Lionel and Mae had years ago. He returns to Mae and they both sign the papers to finalize the divorce. Bishop then tries to convince Sophia not to give up on her faith by privately telling her his "Runaway Train" sermon on the meaning of life, but Sophia returns the bible he gifted her last year. Grace introduces her father at his Silver Jubilee and realizes he'll need help after Mae is gone.

When Coralie shows up at Calvary intent on taking a new plea deal from the D.A., Grace cannot convince her otherwise. Rochelle gets Coralie to backtrack by revealing she grew up in foster care and suggests Coralie's children will suffer the same horrible fate. Coralie now agrees to meet their new lawyer, Elliot Garner. Through Darius' police connection, Grace learns from Rochelle's old foster parents that her last name isn't Cross - it's James. Grace tells Bishop that Rochelle is Darryl James' daughter. Kerissa takes a more active role at Triumph with Zora now gone from home. She and Tasha's replacement discover that two hundred thousand dollars is missing from Triumph, and that Jacob and Tasha kissed. Tasha is surprised when Basie shows up at her doorstep. Maxine Patterson arrives at Calvary in support of Mae's fast approaching day and asks if Grace can speak at the event. Mae quickly shuts it down, but Maxine continues to press a disheveled Mae about her issues with Grace.

When the FBI raids Triumph and Calvary just five days from A Day with Lady Mae, Grace calls in their new lawyer Elliot Garner. The Bishop and Jacob are being investigated on suspicion of bank fraud, theft, and embezzlement of church funds, having been set up by Rochelle. Grace fights with Darius about covering the story for his newspaper as Jacob and Kerissa try to find Tasha. When Jacob goes to meet Tasha, he's confronted by Basie Skanks instead. Bishop questions Rochelle, who plays naïve. Maxine presses Lady Mae to tell Grace the truth about her paternity, but Mae uses the FBI to deflect. When Lionel Jeffries dies, Mae buries the truth until Grace gets a visit from Aaron. Charity secures her mother's presentation for A Day with Lady Mae by charming the FBI agent who seized Mae's laptop. Sophia tells Zora that Isaiah was cheating on her. Connie Sykes wants Calvary to join Harmony & Hope Ministries' denomination of churches, which would remove power from the Greenleafs.

Elliot Garner explains that the Bishop can plead cognitive dysfunction when the U.S. Attorney files charges against him, but Bishop knows he'll lose Calvary that way. After seeing Connie with Phil DeMars of Harmony and Hope, the Bishop appeals to Mae to leave after her big day - or Connie and Phil will remove the Greenleafs entirely. Mae doubles down on herself before rocking her congregation with her sermon at A Day with Lady Mae. After Grace and Aaron get blood tests, it's obvious from Grace's reaction to her mother's sermon that Lionel is actually her father - not the Bishop. Grace uses Coralie to draw Rochelle out of hiding and has her arrested as Jacob convinces a shaken Tasha to testify against Rochelle and Basie. With the plan now blown, Basie goes to Calvary to shoot the Bishop. Kerissa decides to divorce Jacob, but is unsure if she can do it when Sophia brings Zora home after Isaiah nearly beats her again. Charity introduces Lady Mae at her big event.

When the Bishop talks Basie down from shooting him, he takes his new lease on life and pours his support into Lady Mae taking over Calvary. Connie and the Deacons back Grace and plan to enroll Calvary in Harmony & Hope Ministries' denominations of churches. Mae puts together a presentation for the Deacon Board, citing reasons why she should head the church, but fails. Grace decides to take over the church, breaks up with Darius, and uses Lionel's inheritance money to pay off the IRS. Lady Mae finally tells the Bishop that he is not Grace's father. He takes it in stride before collapsing from a heart attack during his final sermon at Calvary, but survives it. The whole family moves back into the mansion and has dinner. Grace blesses the food as the head of the church now. Tasha makes a deal with the FBI as Basie and Rochelle skip town. Kerissa and Jacob decide against a divorce. Both Jacob and Charity appeal to be Grace's Associate Pastor. Sophia is accepted to Hampton University. And Bob Whitmore, founder of Harmony and Hope, lets Grace know he'll be keeping a close eye on her in the year to come, even as she quietly conspires with her family to take back her family's church.
