Tyler Perry’s Sistas | Sneak Peek: Sabrina Checks Paige For Her Affirmative Action Comment

Sabrina vs. Paige: A Clash of Competence and Confrontation

Paige, always quick to judge, tried to undermine Sabrina’s promotion, insinuating it was handed to her because of affirmative action. However, Sabrina wasn’t having it. With unmatched poise, she shut down Paige’s baseless claims, reminding her that her rise to the position had nothing to do with race, but with her undeniable competence and qualifications.

Sabrina’s Powerful Response

Let’s be honest: Sabrina doesn’t usually get the attention she deserves in the show, but in this moment, she was absolutely on fire. Paige was quick to criticize Sabrina for being late, calling her out at 9:01, but Sabrina stood firm, replying, “I wasn’t tardy.” While there’s a valid argument to be made about tardiness in the workplace, we all know this wasn’t really about the time. Paige was bitter, still harboring resentment for not getting the supervisor or branch manager role that Sabrina earned.

The Real Reason Behind Paige’s Resentment

Paige’s petty behavior wasn’t just about a few minutes of tardiness—it was about jealousy. During the competition for the position, Sabrina had outshone her at every turn, catching Paige in mistakes, like providing wrong information to customers. But now, instead of owning up to her shortcomings, Paige decided to take the low road, accusing Sabrina’s promotion of being a result of affirmative action, not merit.

Sabrina’s Perfect Rebuttal

Sabrina could have gone into full detail about her qualifications—because, let’s face it, she was clearly the more competent candidate. But instead, she simply read Paige like an open book. Sabrina didn’t need to waste her time explaining herself. Paige was silenced, left with nothing to say but weak excuses.

It’s a familiar situation in real life too: people of color often have to prove their worth even when they’re overqualified for the job. Sabrina’s calm but cutting response exposed how out of touch Paige was with the reality of the workplace and with Sabrina’s actual credentials.

Maurice Steps In

Then there’s Maurice, who was ready to defend Sabrina with force. When Paige tried to escalate the situation, Maurice calmly said, “Let me drop her for real. Just drag her right now.” And for the first time, Paige looked genuinely scared. She realized she was outnumbered—not just by Sabrina, but by Maurice too. And let’s not forget, Sabrina is Black, which in this moment, made Paige’s assumption of privilege feel even more misplaced.

The Actress Nails the Role

The actress playing Paige deserves serious praise here. She portrays the character with such distaste that it’s impossible not to be irritated by her. Honestly, I found myself thinking, “Well, this is one of those scenes I’ll actually watch in full when it airs, instead of skipping past it like usual.” Sabrina’s sass and Maurice’s quiet confidence made this scene one of the best in the season.

Will Paige Back Down?

Now, the question remains: Will Paige finally back off after being put in her place, or will she continue to dig up more dirt on Sabrina? Remember, Paige and Maurice weren’t exactly shining examples of professionalism in the last episode. They were too busy bickering and arguing with customers to focus on being competent employees.

Sabrina, on the other hand, showed grace under pressure and absolute command of the situation. So, let’s see if this moment of humiliation will finally make Paige reconsider her approach, or if she’ll just continue to be a thorn in Sabrina’s side.

I’m hoping the episode is strong enough for a live stream later tonight. If it is, I’ll be discussing it more in-depth. But for now, I’m curious to hear your thoughts: Do you think Paige will back off, or is she just going to double down on trying to discredit Sabrina? Let me know in the comments below!
