A gleeful Joe (Tyler Perry) couldn't be happier at Madea's misfortune. But Madea's eccentric family members the Browns (David and Tamala Mann) rally behind her, lending their special "country" brand of support.

When Candace ends up in jail, Madea befriends the young woman, protecting her in a "motherly" way as only Madea can.
