A brief recap of Tyler Perry’s Sistas season 9 episode 3

The entirety of Tyler Perry’s Sistas season 9 episode 3, Having Faith, focuses on Karen’s emergency C-section after she falls unconscious at the end of episode 2. The episode opens with Dr. Vaughn and his team ushering the group out of Karen’s room to conduct the emergency surgery. The Sistas are then forced to wait for any news about their friend while they all go through an emotional rollercoaster.

Only Zac and Aaron, the two fathers of the two babies, and Karen’s mother, Lisa, are allowed inside the room, while Andi, Danni, Sabrina, and Fatima all wait outside. Andi even confronts Dr. Cruise for the lack of attention and the lack of medical care he gave Karen, but her words fall on deaf ears.

While they waited worried, the group soon got some news as Lisa walked out to tell them that while Karen gave birth to one healthy baby girl, the other fetus was born stillborn. Danni, still furious about Dr. Cruise's earlier negligence, confronts him and threatens him in the waiting room as she breaks down into tears upon hearing that.

Fatima goes to find Zac and sees him in an emotional wreck after watching what he believed was his daughter being born stillborn. While that has never been confirmed within the show, Aaron and Zac both believe that it was the latter’s daughter who died.

The Sistas then go into Karen’s room to see their friend and be there for her as she finally regains consciousness, only to face the heartbreaking reality of her partial loss. The episode ends with Karen being given the chance to hold her stillborn daughter and say goodbye, setting things up for Tyler Perry’s Sistas season 9 episode 4.

What to expect from Tyler Perry’s Sistas season 9 episode 4

Following Karen’s harrowing loss and the ordeal that the hospital put her through in episode 3, Tyler Perry’s Sistas season 9 episode 4 will likely focus on the emotional aftermath of that. That was all but confirmed by the episode preview that aired at the end of episode 3, with Karen depressed and spending most of her time lying in bed.

She isn’t the only one affected, as Zac also goes through his own emotional rollercoaster, with Fatima concerned about her boyfriend’s mental health. Beyond that, reports indicate that Sabrina adopts a new carefree attitude after catching her boyfriend, Rich, cheating on her with Penelope.

Danni will also likely have to deal with her job wanting to send her to Alaska or be forced to quit, two choices that she believes will adversely affect her relationship. Not only that, as it has done so far, Tyler Perry’s Sistas season 9 episode 4 will likely continue to explore the complicated dynamics between Zac and Aaron as they navigate an unusual situation.

The two men are going through two different types of emotions, with one grieving a child and the other celebrating the survival of his own. Thus, as the episode title suggests, the group will likely confront their own feelings of helplessness and loneliness despite being surrounded by their support system.
