In the latest episode of "Ms. Pat Settles It," Ms. Pat presides over three chaotic cases featuring ex-friends, siblings, and questionable haircuts. Along for the ride are show regulars White Boy Chris, Carmen Barton, Ray J, TS Madison, Tamar Braxton, and Deray Davis, adding humor and perspective to every courtroom drama. From wig wars to unpaid car debts, it’s a wild episode packed with petty arguments, messy friendships, and Ms. Pat’s no-nonsense verdicts.

Claim: Cortney sues her sister, Crystal, for $1,500 worth of clothes she claims Crystal stole and flaunted online.
Defense: Crystal argues the clothes were abandoned after Cortney lived rent-free at her house for six months, and says Cortney can’t even fit them now since she’s pregnant.

• Cortney’s Side: She insists she only stayed with Crystal for five weeks during an emergency with her two kids and had planned to come back for the clothes—some with tags still attached.
• Crystal’s Perspective: After months with no word, Crystal assumed Cortney didn’t want the clothes, so she treated them as her own and shared her stylish looks on social media.

Ms. Pat’s Verdict:
Crystal wins the case. Ms. Pat rules that Crystal doesn’t owe Cortney anything since she provided free housing during a difficult time, calling the clothes a reasonable “finder’s fee.” However, Crystal is ordered to buy Cortney some baby clothes as a gesture of goodwill.

Claim: Ariyanna sues her friend Desirra for $2,287 after Desirra borrowed her wig and ruined it with an impromptu haircut.
Defense: Desirra argues the wig was already in rough shape and needed a makeover, so cutting it was an improvement.

• Ariyanna’s Story: She lent Desirra a wig from her car trunk, expecting it returned in its original state—a long, luxurious, waist-length style, “Cher vibes.”
• Desirra’s Defense: Desirra claims the wig was raggedy when she got it, so she gave it a “remix,” trimming it into a frizzy bob. She denies cutting much off but admits she did it without explicit permission.

Ms. Pat’s Verdict:
Desirra is ordered to pay half the $2,287 since Ms. Pat couldn’t confirm the wig’s original state. While Ariyanna could’ve taken better care of the wig, Desirra was out of line for altering it without permission. Lesson learned: Borrow means borrow—not "borrow and chop."

Claim: Audrey sues her ex-best friend, Chris, for $5,000, the amount owed for a Mercedes-Benz S-Class she sold him. Chris ghosted her after paying only $1,000.
Defense: Chris claims he stopped payments because Audrey got him fired from his job.

• Audrey’s Version: She sold Chris the car for $6,000, expecting $500 biweekly payments. But Chris stopped paying and disappeared after giving only the first $1,000.
• Chris' Side: Chris argues that Audrey caused his firing after he confronted customers who tried to skip out on a tab at the nightclub where they both worked. Fired and broke, Chris stopped making payments and eventually sold the car for $2,500. Now employed as an accountant at a car dealership, Chris admits he should’ve returned the car but apologizes for his behavior.

Ms. Pat’s Verdict:
Ms. Pat rules in favor of Audrey. Chris owes her the remaining $5,000, and the two are encouraged to repair their broken friendship. The episode ends on a hopeful note, with Chris apologizing and the two embracing in court.

This episode of Ms. Pat Settles It serves as a reminder to get everything in writing and never assume when it comes to borrowed belongings. With Ms. Pat’s wisdom and humor, even the messiest disputes get resolved—well, mostly. Stay tuned for the next round of wild courtroom antics!
