The Haves And The Have Nots Finale's Eight Most Shocking Moments

Nope. Nothing can truly prepare you to review the insanity that was the series finale of Tyler Perry's OWN soap, The Haves and the Have Nots. But go ahead and dive in, anyway. The photos are "to-die-for."

8. It's a Boy!

Over and over, Benny insisted that he'd never so much as seen babymama Tanisha before. "Well, ya damn sure seen her ass," fired back Hanna. And, noting how much the infant resembled her brother, Candace had to admit, "That's one hell of a receipt if ever I've seen one." Finally, when Tanisha revealed that she was a well-off attorney who wanted nothing from Benny, he warmed to the idea of being a father. Or at least he looked cute holding his son.

1. Vengeance Is Mine, Saith the Lord

Hanna got a whole lot more than she bargained for when she dropped by the Cryer mansion to pick up some of Katheryn's paperwork. Discovering that Jim had murdered Candace, Hanna attacked him, engaging in a brutal fight that didn't end until she'd managed to get behind the wheel of her car. "Die, motherf—ker!" she hissed as she hit the accelerator, ran down the villain and, dare we hope, sent him straight to hell where he belongs.

3. Worst Spa Treatment Ever

Too late, Candace realized that the kind of mistake she'd made in going to the Iron Bone to plead with the Malones to spare Benny had been the fatal sort. Despite Mitch's efforts to intervene, Uncle Vinny had Candace delivered straight to Jim. "Your ass is dead already," he told her. "Your body just doesn't know it yet." Her body figured it out, though, when he had the pregnant ex-hooker dropped in a tub, where he proceeded to mercilessly drown her.

5. The Ultimate Hang-Up

Hope Katheryn enjoyed having phone privileges in prison that were rivaled only by teenage girls who'd made the honor roll. 'Cause no sooner had new cellmate Diamond revealed that she was the aunt of poor, ill-fated Lizzie — remember the little girl that Wyatt plowed down? — than the tough chick permanently "disconnected" the society dame by strangling her. Hard to believe we've heard her wail about her son for the last time, isn't it?

2. Last Blast

Tanner had given Jeffrey every reason to mistrust him, then he'd gone back and invented whole new reasons to layer on top of the others. Yet Jeffrey still accepted a box that Justin's brother insisted the deceased would have wanted him to have. And still, Jeffrey opened it with boo Madison sitting next to him and dad David only a few feet away. Needless to say, inside was a bomb, which apparently blew Jeffrey, Madison and David all to kingdom come.

4. Outgunned

Upon realizing that he'd been lured to his new home for a face-off with Sandy, Benny suggested that they settle their beef like men. Trouble was, he was a man short for that; rather than put up his dukes, the weaselly apprentice mobster called in his goons, who pumped Benny full of more lead than you'd find at a gun show and left poor Rianna... Well, just look at her. The deceased's last lover was beside herself.

6. Ding-Dong, the Witch Is Dead

Veronica shrugged off hitman Marco when he warned that she had a lot of people out to get her. "I wouldn't be Veronica, dear, if I didn't have enemies," she quipped. But as soon as the queen of mean left her house, her own assassin and new pal Akil gunned her down in the driveway. Or, rather, they gunned down what we suspect would've turned out to be maid Laura in Veronica drag, had the series continued.

7. Better Late Than Never

After cheating death more times than we could count, Wyatt, having ingested enough drugs to open his own pharmacy, finally kicked the bucket just as the episode began. Even Madison somehow being allowed to take over the EKG paddles from the EMTs couldn't resuscitate the junkie. "Is this really happening?" asked Jeffrey, though not in the hopeful way that the rest of us did. And, in fact, at long last, it was really happening.
