Sneak Peek: Paige Defends Maurice Against A Homophobic Bank Customer
In a surprising twist, Sistas delivered a moment that had fans rethinking their opinions on Paige. Slowly but surely, she seems to be redeeming herself—at least in the eyes of some viewers.
The most recent sneak peek, released on Monday, features a scene at the bank where Maurice is assisting an elderly woman who brings in a large jar full of coins. She explains that she and her church group have a casino trip coming up and wants to exchange them for cash. Maurice, ever the professional, is happy to help. However, there’s a catch—the bank’s coin machine (similar to a Coinstar) is only available for customers with an account.
When Maurice politely asks if she has an account, she says no. He then offers to help her open one, but she refuses, insisting that she just wants her coins exchanged. With no other option, Maurice hands her penny rollers so she can wrap the coins herself. But instead of thanking him, she demands that he do it for her. Given the size of her jar, this was a major request. Maurice holds his ground, explaining the bank’s policy, and that’s when things take a turn.
Rather than accepting the situation, the woman launches into a tirade—not about the inconvenience, but about Maurice himself. She begins attacking him for being flamboyant, throwing out insults based on his sexuality. It’s an uncomfortable moment, but Maurice remains composed despite the clear hostility.
That’s when Paige steps in.
At first, it seems like she’s swooping in to undermine Maurice and cater to the disgruntled customer. However, Paige simply reiterates what Maurice had already explained. When the woman finally gives in and agrees to open an account, Paige drops a bombshell:
“I’m sorry, but we don’t assist homophobic customers.”
Just like that, the woman storms off, furious. Maurice, like the rest of us, is stunned. Did Paige really just defend him? Turns out, she has a personal reason for taking a stand—her brother is gay, and in school, she was involved in an LGBTQ-friendly program. It’s a revelation that adds unexpected depth to her character.
The moment also marks a shift in her dynamic with Maurice. While they’ve clashed in the past, this act of solidarity changes things. She even teases him: “So… are you going to start calling me Paige now?” To which he responds with a sarcastic “Okay, Penny.” Baby steps, but it’s progress.
Sabrina walks in at just the right moment, clearly taken aback that Maurice and Paige aren’t at each other’s throats. The scene leaves fans wondering—could this be the start of an actual friendship? Or will they be back to bickering in the next episode?
Of course, the drama doesn’t end there. Later in the episode, things take a chaotic turn at the airport, with Danni and Leonard getting into a heated fallout. It’s safe to say the drama is far from over.
