Tyler Perry’s Sistas | Sneak Peek: Zac FORGETS That Fatima Is Pregnant

In the latest sneak peek for this week’s episode of Sistas, we see a tense moment between Zac and Fatima. Zac suggests a plan to rough up Hayden to get answers, but Fatima reminds him that she’s carrying “precious cargo,” making it clear that she doesn’t want to resort to violence. This moment, while humorous, once again highlights an ongoing issue with Zac’s characterization—he’s still being portrayed as someone who acts first and thinks later.

Many fans argue that Zac is always painted as the aggressive one, while Fatima constantly shuts down his ideas. In contrast, when Fatima takes charge in dangerous situations, her actions aren’t questioned the same way. The inconsistency is frustrating—Fatima has put herself in risky situations before, like confronting Gary multiple times, even physically grabbing him. If she’s truly prioritizing her pregnancy, why did she engage in those reckless actions?

The timeline of Fatima’s pregnancy is also worth examining. Based on the events of Season 7 and the time jumps within the series, it appears that Zac and Fatima have known about the pregnancy for weeks. Yet, despite this knowledge, Fatima continued to insert herself into dangerous situations, only now suddenly using the “precious cargo” excuse to stop Zac from acting out.

This brings up a deeper issue with their dynamic. Whenever Zac suggests a plan, it’s dismissed as reckless. However, if Fatima proposes something similar, it’s considered the right approach. It feels like Zac is constantly portrayed as the impulsive one, while Fatima is the calculated mastermind pulling the strings.

Some argue that this dynamic mirrors real-life relationships, where women often influence decisions behind the scenes while letting men believe they’re leading. But at what point does this become manipulative? As someone who isn’t married or in a long-term relationship, I sometimes wonder if my perspective on Sistas would be different if I were.

Ultimately, Sistas has evolved into The Fatima Show, where everything revolves around her, and Zac just follows along. Their dynamic used to feel more balanced, but now it seems like Fatima is always right, and Zac is just there to react. It’s frustrating to watch, and it raises the question—has the show lost the essence of their relationship?
