![]() ![]() ![]() that Chuck cheated on his bar exam to get his law license. Linda blackmails him to keep his mouth shut under the threat of telling their and Josh's boss, the head A.D.A. Ellen comforts him and tells him that he shouldn't continue holding on to the guilt and that it was never his fault, especially since Candace already had personal troubles beforehand.At the district attorney's office, Josh's best friend, Chuck, runs into Linda and discovers that she is falsifying Candace's file to deliberately get her sent to prison and away from Josh, a practice she has engaged with other defendants as well, including Madea. Since then, Josh has continued to harbor deep-seated guilt for leaving her behind and failing to protect her. He ended up going on a date and leaving Candace behind at the party, where a group of his friends gang-raped her in his absence. He breaks down when he talks about one particular night when he took her to a party. He tells Ellen that they were close friends from childhood through college, but during their college years, all of Josh's friends mistreated and bullied Candace because of her background and he started pushing her away out of embarrassment. Just before Madea's trial, Ellen asks Josh how he knows Candace. After Josh asks Ellen to help Candace, Ellen gets her a job interview, but it results in sexual harassment by the interviewer, whom Candace kicks in the groin before storming out. Conversely, Candace sees right through Linda upon meeting her and tells Josh that it will never work between them since they're too different: Josh cares about helping anyone he sees in trouble, no matter their class, while Linda is a spoiled brat who considers people who have a lower status than her as inferior.Josh later runs into his friend Ellen, a former drug addict and prostitute who has now become a minister that helps other women get off the streets. When Linda finds out, she gets furious and threatens to leave him unless he puts Candace out of his life for good. Josh, however, keeps helping Candace anyway, to the points of rescuing her from a pimp and later finding her strung out at his front door, bringing her into his home on both occasions to spend the night. Although Josh tries to assure her that he is only trying to help an old friend, Linda tells him that it was Candace's own fault for being who she is and that he should only socialize with a higher class of people. ![]() But when Josh takes Candy out to eat and gives her his business card for future assistance, Linda gets jealous and fears Josh may be cheating on her. Josh asks his fiancée and fellow ADA Linda Davis to fill in on his behalf. He is prosecuting a young prostitute and drug addict, Candace "Candy" Washington, with whom he is already acquainted. Madea is arrested and brought to court again, where Judge Greg Mathis sentences her to prison for five to ten years.Meanwhile, assistant district attorney Joshua Hardaway is on the fast track to career success. At Kmart, a woman steals the parking space that Madea was about to take and acts very snobbish to Madea when she confronts the woman over it, so Madea commandeers a forklift truck to remove the woman's car from the space, wrecking the car in the process. Joe predicts that Madea will get into trouble if she drives to the store herself, but Madea ignores him and goes anyway. Returning home, Madea, needing to buy groceries, calls Cora, who is at the hair salon, to drive her to the store, but Cora refuses to end her appointment early, angering Madea. However, Madea isn't amused by the festivities and uses a machine gun to scare the party goers away.Madea consults with Doctor Phil McGraw for anger management, but doesn't cooperate with McGraw. Returning home from court, Madea finds a party taking place in her house hosted by her brother, Joe Simmons, who claims he threw the party to try and cheer up Madea. After a high-speed freeway police chase (seen in "Meet the Browns") results in Madea being pulled over and arrested, though she isn't convicted due to a legal loophole, as the officers failed to mirandize her, she admits her permanent license suspension and Judge Mablean Ephriam places her in an anger management course. ![]()
