Connor finally gets Tanner to listen about his corn-growing plans.Īt the Christmas Jubilee with her family, Lacey thanks the Sheldon Construction Company and announces their promises to help Bucktussle (which were not in the original agreement) by letting some water out of their dam, knowing the repercussions the company would face if they were to back out. With Amber with him, Tanner later follows Conner to apologize for everything and to thank Eileen for saving him as he will speak with the Mayor on rehiring her tomorrow. Madea and Connor's parents advise Eileen to accept Lacey's marriage. Conner walks up to the scene and punches Tanner before demanding Eileen get in his truck. As Eileen walks into town, she sees Tanner in his overturned burning truck and saves his life. Lacey admits to Conner that Tanner caused her to lose her job, setting Conner off. Hypocritically angered by the lies she has heard, Eileen storms out vainly hoping for a taxi to pick her up. Eileen had lied to Lacey all those years, saying he was killed by a white man. Lacey tells the truth about her marriage to Conner and Eileen's true feelings about whites are revealed: her husband left her for a white woman. Lacey’s conflict at home reaches a boiling point when Eileen and Kim argue. Angered by these facts, Tanner demands that the Mayor of Bucktussle (Steve Boles) fire Lacey which the Mayor does. Lacey finds out that the sponsors called the Sheldon Construction Company are forcing the school to make the Jubilee a holiday theme as opposed to a Christmas theme and that they are responsible for many of the town’s citizens losing their jobs as well as their dam cutting off their lands' access to the river. She is convinced Buddy and Kim are part of the Ku Klux Klan after seeing Buddy with a sheet over his head (though he was merely engaging in foreplay with Kim), and promptly bars the door to the room she and Madea are sharing. Though she didn’t realize the meaning, Eileen shows no remorse for the act. Eileen offends Kim by cutting down her father's memory tree. When she finds her purse is missing, she loses her temper and ties Lucy to a cross decoration in the classroom much to the dismay of Lacey and Principal Porter.Ĭonner's parents Buddy ( Larry the Cable Guy) and Kim ( Kathy Najimy) arrive at Conner and Lacey's house for Christmas and are told to keep the marriage a secret since Eileen is staying for Christmas as well. A girl named Lucy (Caroline Kennedy) steals Madea's purse while Madea tells the class a rather unorthodox version of the story of the first Christmas. Lacey brings Oliver to a town meeting and asks Madea to look after her class. She does not know that Lacey is married to a white man, which is not what she wanted for Lacey. Eileen hopes that Lacey and Oliver might still work out as a couple. While having spoken to Tanner and his wife Amber ( Alicia Witt) about the progress of their son Bailey ( Noah Urrea) in school, Lacey calls her mother and says she will be unable to come home for Christmas, but Eileen, determined to see her daughter, brings Madea and Oliver with her to visit. The school run by Principal Nancy Porter ( Lisa Whelchel) does not have enough money to fund their annual Christmas Jubilee, forcing Lacey to ask her ex-boyfriend Oliver ( JR Lemon) to fund the school through his business. Meanwhile, Eileen's daughter Lacey Williams ( Tika Sumpter), a teacher at a small school in Bucktussle, Alabama, is married to a white man named Conner ( Eric Lively) whose plans to grow special corn earned him the ire of corn farmer Tanner McCoy ( Chad Michael Murray). In Atlanta, Georgia, Mabel 'Madea' Simmons ( Tyler Perry) has been talked into getting a job at a local store by her great-niece Eileen Murphy ( Anna Maria Horsford).
