"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.

Ella decides to go against the grain and use technology instead of paying someone to do repairs; Malik and Lisa's argument causes discord between C.J. and Janine.

Malik and family get introduced to Lisa's mom, Deena; Miranda attempts to produce a vlog for Ella.

Jazmin wants to create a Bible study on campus and enlists Ella to help her organize the service; Calvin and Laura request that Miranda return her emergency key to Calvin's condo.

Curtis is convinced that a technologically advanced gift is determined to ruin his life; a local photographer approaches Lisa, but he may not be all he seems.
