What will happen in the Tyler Perry’s Sistas Season 8 premiere?
According to BET, “Andi, along with the rest of her close-knit sister circle and even a few enemies, all have some explaining to do” after the fallout from Gary’s stabbing.
As previously reported, several of the show’s characters could be the culprit, and they all have their own reasons for hating Gary enough to put a knife in him. There’s also the matter of if Gary himself will survive the stabbing. Could he live and get revenge?
