Tyler Perry’s Sistas | Episode Trailer Breakdown: One Is The Loneliest Number

🎬 Tyler Perry’s Sistas Season 9, Episode 4 — Promo Breakdown

Episode Title: “One is the Loneliest Number”

“I’m losing everything…”
“Next Wednesday.”
“I’m here to see Sabrina.”
“Do you have a death wish?”
“The emotional rollercoaster… has just begun.”

Well. That promo gave us 15 seconds of pure pain, mess, and drama, and somehow that wasn’t even the half of it. Episode 4’s title, One Is the Loneliest Number, says it all — and Karen’s about to feel every syllable of it.

Let’s break it down.

👶 Karen: From Baby Bump to Postpartum Hell

We’re finally out of that eternal day from hell — yes, it’s a new damn day in the Sistas universe. About damn time. Karen’s back home now, but it’s anything but a happy homecoming.

Pam, sweet loyal Pam, didn’t get the memo about the baby. So when Karen and Miss Lisa walk through the door, Pam’s hyped. She’s like, “Let me see them babies!!” — house decked out, decorations ready, heart full of joy.

One problem. Nobody told Pam one of the twins died.

Y’all… that scene is going to HURT. 💔 Karen, already shattered, walks into a home that feels like a shrine to what could’ve been. And it just wrecks her. She immediately breaks:

“I can’t do this.”

Heads to her room, curls into that grief like it’s the only thing that makes sense.

No shade to Pam — she didn’t know. But damn, who dropped the ball?

🛋 “I Lost Her… And It’s Never Going to Be Alright.”

Back in the room with the girls, Karen’s not having any of it. She’s grieving, she’s raw, and her walls are UP.
She tells them:

“I lost her… and it’s never going to be alright.”

And at some point, Miss Lisa just politely shows everyone the door. She knows Karen’s not ready. She says:

“The best thing for Karen right now is to get used to her new normal.”

(Side note: This line sounds suspiciously like a future episode title 👀)

😢 “I Don’t Want to Be Around People Pretending My Baby’s Not Gone.”

Later, it’s just Miss Lisa and Pam with her, and Karen is spiraling:

“No one can help me. I’m lost. I don’t want to be around people who act like my baby’s not gone.”

She says “baby”, not “babies.” But Twitter is already in shambles asking if both twins died. To clarify: NO. One baby is still alive, but we’re not sure where she is yet — maybe still in the hospital for observation, or maybe with Aaron. TBD.

💔 Zach: Grief Looks Different on Everyone

Over at Zatima HQ, it’s also looking bleak. It’s the next morning, Fatima’s getting ready for work, but she’s nervous about leaving Zach alone.

Fatima: “I’m worried about you.”
Zach: “I’m good.”
Fatima: “You were nearly killed and lost your daughter in the same damn night. And you’re ‘good’?!”

Zach, broken:

“Stop trying to fix things you can’t control. I just want to sit in it.”

Oof. He’s not trying to be mean — he’s grieving his way. But if he keeps pushing Fatima away, that support system might start cracking.

🏦 Meanwhile, at the Bank of Petty…

Back to Sabrina’s bank, and ugh, here we go again.

Penelope walks in like she owns the place:

“I’m here to see Sabrina.”

Maurice — finally back and iconic as ever — hits her with:

“Do you have a death wish?”

Then in Sabrina’s office, she’s like:

“I don’t want to think about Rich.”

And of course, this man appears out of thin air like the Dollar Store version of Ghost from Power:

“Sorry to disappoint you.”

Why is this storyline still a thing?? They’re broken up. MOVE. ON. Nobody asked for this plotline and it’s just padding.

💅 Andy’s New Look & A Brewing Lawsuit?

Andy’s serving short-hair realness (unexpected but slay), and she’s also on a mission.

In the parking garage, she calls Dr. Vaughn. And he drops a bomb:

“This isn’t the first time Dr. Cruz has played with a patient’s life.”

Andy:

“Wait — nothing’s been done before?!”

Then Vaughn hits her with some real tea:

“It’s not what you know… it’s who you play golf with.”

Translation: Nepotism and power games are running this hospital. Andy’s lawyer senses are tingling — are we heading into a malpractice lawsuit arc?

If so… YES PLEASE. 🔥

😔 Closing Out: “One Is the Loneliest Number”

The final shot? Zach alone, breaking down on the couch.
Fatima telling Andy she’s worried.
Karen isolating herself.
Everyone grieving in their own, raw way.

This is going to be a tough one. Not gonna lie.

💬 Final Thoughts

This episode is about what happens after the chaos. The grief, the silence, the anger, the loneliness. Tyler Perry & the writers seem to be leaning heavily into the emotional realism of postpartum depression, loss, and the messy parts of healing.

⚠️ Expect tears. Expect distance. Expect raw pain.
But also? Expect growth.

So what do YOU think?

Will Karen let anyone in?
Will Zach spiral too far?
Will Andy finally lawyer TF up?
And for god’s sake… can someone escort Penelope off bank premises?
