Tonight’s episode of “Ms. Pat Settles It”  sees ex-friends, big sis vs. little sis, and former lovers going at it.  Karlous Miller, Tamar Braxton, Deray Davis, and Carmen Barten join Ms. Pat as jurors for all three cases, where Ms. Pat rules as she sees fit using the principles of common sense, street justice, logic, and some comedy. In the case of a lopsided wedding cake, an illegally used food delivery account, and non-payment for transcription services are the highlights of the cases discussed in this latest episode. 

Cortez Sherrod vs. Charles Israel 

Cortez Sherrod is suing his ex, Charles Israel, for $1,000, for constantly ordering food on his delivery app. Charles says he ordered food but that Cortez ate too, so he’s not responsible for what was happening right in his face. You know how this goes, Cortez is saying one thing, and Israel is saying another. The drama gets us thinking when we find out their ex-fiances are still living together. They broke up because Charles caught Cortez cheating in 4k. Ultimately, Ms. Pat rules in favor of the defendant. 

The Verdict: Charles doesn’t have to pay Cortez back because he was aware of what was happening the whole time his account was being used. He could have changed his password anytime he wanted, but he didn’t, probably because he was trying to keep his ex in his pocket, and it backfired. 

The Lesson: Change your passwords when you break up with someone, even if you live together. 

Crystal Coleman vs. Sheshe Davis 

Crystal Coleman and Sheshe Davis were friends while cellmates serving federal time. So, that’s where the drama started. Crystal is suing her now ex-friend and cellmate, Sheshe, for $4,000 for transcription services. Davis doesn’t feel like she should have to pay because she gave Crystal $1,000 but also fixed her credit. She says she got Crystal’s credit so in shape that Crystal’s grandson could go to prom and pay for it with one of the credit cards that Crystal could get (legally) once her credit was in shape. Crystal has proof of the deal they made, but Sheshe’s credit-repairing skills won great favor with Ms. Pat and the jurors, and that was enough for Ms. Pat to rule in her favor. 

The Verdict:  Sheshe gave Crystal $1,000 and then fixed her credit, so, she should give the money back because fixing her credit makes them even. Most importantly, they also need to repair their friendship, and they can start by hugging it out.  

The Lesson: It will either be business or friendship, so make sure your contracts are tight.  

Carol Montgomery vs. April Fletcher

Carol Montgomery is suing her big sister, April Fletcher, for $475, claiming the wedding cake she made was a flop. April feels like the cake was a hit and that her sister is a bridezilla. She also feels like her baby sis should be thankful because her real rate for cakes starts at $800. However, Carol proves that the cake didn’t match the photo she sent her sister, and it was leaning. The one thing both sisters could agree on was that it at least tasted good. Ultimately, Ms. Pat ruled in favor of April, the plaintiff, because it was clear that the cake wasn’t the best, and Carol didn’t even really seem remorseful that she did shoddy work for her baby sis. 

The Verdict: April doesn’t owe anything, but they need to heal their relationship. 

The Lesson: Don’t cut corners just because it’s family.
