"Tyler Perry's House of Payne" is a comedy series about a multi-generational, working-class family who experience all of life's struggles with faith, love and humor. Atlanta firefighter Curtis "Pops" Payne thinks his home is his castle, but he needs a bigger moat around it. His nephew CJ and the kids invade his space for an extended stay, and his penniless son Calvin still visits regularly, mostly for mealtimes and laundry days. Luckily, Curtis has a loving wife who never gives up and keeps him from breaking down.

Curtis rallies Calvin and CJ in planning a surprise birthday party for Ella; Ella takes charge of her birthday; Janine tells CJ she found a vape pen.

C.J. and Janine try to get to know Jazmine's new boyfriend, Kaleb, but C.J. suspects that Kaleb is becoming a bad influence on Jazmine.

She calls Floyd to help Curtis; Ella finds the vaporizer; Curtis and Ella try cannabis.

After taking a hit from a vape pen, Curtis seems to think he is now an addict.
