Tyler Perry’s House of Payne | The Friction Between Laura & The Paynes Escalates Tonight!
House of Payne Season 14, Episode 7 – “Burying the Hatchet” Breakdown & Predictions
All right, House of Payne fans — let’s talk about what’s coming up in Season 14, Episode 7: “Burying the Hatchet.” First off, can we just say… BET really needs to bring back the episode trailers. Building anticipation is half the fun, and this season has more drama than we’ve seen in a long time.
Now, let’s dive into that synopsis:
“Tempers flare between Laura and the Payne family.”
No surprises there — Laura’s ongoing clash with Miranda and the rest of the Payne clan has been the central drama of the season. If you remember, Calvin even used the phrase “bury the hatchet” in a recent conversation with Laura. But based on how things are going, that hatchet might not be buried just yet.
Laura vs. The Paynes – What Now?
Episode 6 ended with Miranda telling Janine how Laura wouldn’t let her into the condo. Combine that with Calvin seemingly being done with the situation, and Episode 7 is shaping up to be fiery. The big question: Will Ella get involved? You know she won’t sit quietly if the mother of her grandchild is being shut out of her son’s home. Expect some real heat if Ella steps into the fray.
Does “Burying the Hatchet” Really Mean Peace?
Let’s be real. The title might suggest reconciliation, but this feels more like a simmering truce — if that. Don’t expect all the tension to evaporate overnight. BET knows fans are invested, and they’re not going to wrap this drama up halfway through the season. Not when viewer interest is at an all-time high.
The B-Plot: Jasmine and Jackson
Meanwhile, we’ve got the B-plot potentially picking up from Episode 5 (“House of Tough Decisions”), where Jasmine was left deciding whether or not to forgive Jackson. Honestly? That episode was a flop (I gave it a 2/10), and I don’t have high hopes here either.
If Jasmine forgives Jackson because of some third-party influence — like CJ or that professor — it’s going to feel forced. Remember, CJ told her she had to make her own decisions as an adult. If he flips now and nudges her toward forgiveness, it’s going to be a repeat of the mess from the Miranda vs. Laura dance episode — where Calvin told Junior to choose, Junior picked Miranda, and Calvin flipped when Laura got upset.
Same pattern. Same manipulation. Same disappointment.
Prediction: False Peace?
Let’s not kid ourselves. This is only Episode 7. There’s no way they’re wrapping up these storylines just yet. If anything, the “burying the hatchet” theme will be temporary — more like a Band-Aid over a wound that’s still bleeding. Whether it’s Jasmine forgiving Jackson, or the Laura/Miranda conflict cooling down for a moment, the drama’s not done.
Bottom Line?
-
Don’t expect true resolution.
-
Expect temporary truces, manipulation, and more messy choices.
-
And if Jackson’s sabotage gets glossed over again? Yeah… this episode might be another miss.
