Tyler Perry’s Divorced Sistas | Season 1 Episode 2 Review: Old Flames, New Scars
Review Summary: “Divorce Sisters” Episode 2 – A Storm of Truths, Lies, and Sass
Let’s talk about it. Episode 2 of Divorce Sisters is everything—juicy, intense, and layered in that classic Tyler Perry slow-burn-meets-explosive-reveal formula. At first glance, that 50-minute runtime feels like a big ask. But by the end? It’s justified. Fully.
1. A Slow Start with a Satisfying Payoff
Like many, you may have groaned at the episode length, but it pulls a classic Perry move—drawn-out scenes that suddenly flip the script, making you sit up. The first and final scenes are absolute bangers, making the wait worthwhile. Tyler Perry warned us—Episodes 1 and 2 are setup. Episode 3? He promises to hit the gas.
2. Rashida: The Queen of Calm Confrontation
The confrontation between Rashida and the young woman claiming to have slept with her husband is the highlight of the episode. Calm. Calculated. Classy and savage. This wasn’t just a scene—it was a masterclass in controlled rage and quiet vengeance. From the subtle interrogation to pulling up receipts on the security footage? Checkmate, ho.
Rashida flipping the scripture at the end? That was ice-cold poetry. Not to mention the hilarious but savage final tone: “I’ll pray for you.”
3. Naomi and Franklin: A Bitter $37 Million Wound
Naomi’s storyline gets fleshed out, and we finally understand why she’s so vengeful. Her ex Franklin didn’t just cheat—he got a 25-year-old white girl pregnant. Naomi’s pain is real, but her $37 million divorce settlement makes her ongoing lawsuits over petty stuff (like parking spaces) feel excessive. Is she hurt? Absolutely. Is she doing the most? Also yes.
Tiffany tries to be the voice of reason, but her own hang-ups (no sex in 3 years?) suggest she’s still caught up in her own baggage. Their dynamic? Surprisingly honest.
4. Geneva and Javon: Past Flames and Present Tension
Geneva had fans rooting for her in Episode 1. But in Episode 2, she’s getting side-eyes. Her icy meeting with old flame Javon feels more like a ticking time bomb. There’s definitely more history than she admits. The tension is there—don’t be shocked if sparks fly (or explode) in future episodes.
5. The Greenleaf Crossover and Actor Easter Eggs
Die-hard fans noticed it—Bridget and Rashida (Jennifer and Latoya) played sisters in Greenleaf. That reveal alone gave longtime viewers chills. Add that to the actor who plays Carlton in Beyond the Gates showing up as Javon here? Tyler Perry is building a whole interconnected Perry-verse, and we’re here for it.
6. Bridget and the Manchild
The mention of Bridget’s 30-year-old boyfriend who’s still waiting tables? Yikes. Not much screen time yet, but the setup screams “future drama incoming.”
7. Episode Verdict
Despite the slow pacing at times, the episode’s character development and that iconic Rashida scene are more than enough to earn it a 10 out of 10. Risky rating? Maybe. But if Episodes 3 and onward keep the heat rising, Perry may just outdo himself.
Final Thought:
Divorce Sisters is shaping up to be more than just Sistas 2.0. The characters are complex, the drama is nuanced, and the writing has just enough bite to keep fans hooked. If Episode 3 delivers the way it’s teased, we’re in for one hell of a ride.
