The Tyler Perry’s Sistas Season 8 finale did not disappoint. Are we even surprised? Now that we finally have an answer to the big question—who stabbed Gary—let’s get into it.

Spoiler alert: If you haven’t watched yet, turn back now. But for those who have… did you see that coming?

The last we heard about Jasmine Borders, she was locked up. And while she definitely would’ve made the suspect list for wanting Gary dead, she still felt like a long shot. So when she popped back up? Whew! It was exhilarating to see her again—but damn, did it end in tragedy. At the hands of another man we can’t stand.

[Insert Kendrick Lamar “mustard” voice] HUDSOOOOOON!

We already know what Hudson did—no need to rehash it—but let’s take a quick walk down memory lane.

We first met Jasmine around the time Andi started getting serious with Gary. He seemed too good to be true… because he was. But Jasmine’s introduction painted her as the “crazy” ex-wife. And let’s be real—women don’t just get labeled crazy overnight. As Gary’s mask slipped, it became obvious that he had misled Jasmine just like he did Andi… and Penelope. Jasmine wasn’t just some wild-eyed woman on a mission—she was also one of Gary’s victims.

Let’s pour one out for Jasmine.

“It has been a wild ride playing Jasmine. I love Jasmine. She’s considered the villain, but at one point I would defend Jasmine to the last man. No one seemed to care about her hurt, so I cared,” says actress Crystal-Lee Naomi. “Nobody saw her inner pain, only her bad actions… She wasn’t completely innocent, but it was still me and her against anyone to be honest.”

Truthfully, a lot of us were Team Andi at first—especially with Jasmine running up in her office and acting erratic. But when Andi kept going back to Gary? It stopped making sense. This show is supposed to be about sisterhood and solidarity. Why would a smart lawyer go back to an emotionally manipulative, abusive man… after learning he had a whole other woman (Penelope) in the mix?

But that’s the thing—Sistas might be fictional, but the red flags are real. Many of us know someone who’s been there. They’re smart, accomplished, got it all together… but they get caught up with a man selling dreams. Before they know it, they’re isolated and caught in the cycle. And while pain doesn’t justify revenge, it can twist someone into becoming the version of themselves they once feared.

“There’s a lot to learn walking in Jasmine’s shoes,” Crystal-Lee Naomi tells BET.com. “I’ve always been a tougher type of girl, but Jasmine teaches me over and over again that I’m really not that tough… The guns, and the stalking, and the ashes thrown in gas tanks—that’s her. It could never be me. But the most valuable lesson is that you can feel wronged and actually be wronged, but a vengeful spirit doesn’t win in the end.”

Let’s not forget, Jasmine did assault Andi (multiple times) and eventually landed in jail. But we can assume Marie Willis helped get her out, setting her up to finally go after Gary. The irony? She had all that time in prison and didn’t even learn how to stab properly. Then she gets another shot—literally—and doesn’t take it because she wants to gloat?

Pettiness aside, Jasmine’s story deserved a better ending. Yes, she was violent and messy, but she was never the villain. Gary was. Jasmine was just the collateral damage.

So if it’s not Jasmine… who’s finally going to take Gary out?

“Call me crazy, but back in season two or three, after Andi got left behind in some secluded place after the feds came, I thought Jasmine was going to be the one to rescue her and they would take Gary out together—but alas,” says Crystal-Lee Naomi. “Anyway, somebody has to take him out. And I think the biggest question now is… when is Fatima going to do it already?”

Will Fatima handle it—if she hasn’t been shot herself (but that’s a whole other conversation)? And please don’t tell us the writers are trying to give Gary a redemption arc with this memory loss mess.

Here’s hoping for a season nine full of answers, accountability, and finally seeing someone—anyone—take Gary out.
