Tyler Perry's Ruthless

The Highest narrowly escapes the FBI as the agents are pursued by the cartel, resulting in a dangerous defense, and Ruth finally comes face-to-face with her daughter Callie.

Ruth looks for a way to get the brainwashed children away from their dangerous new headmaster, Obadiah, and Dikahn interferes in River's attempts to get back into The Highest's good graces.

Ruth works desperately to prevent the mass suicide of the Rakudushi members, River faces threats from multiple adversaries, and The Highest's mounting paranoia leads to more bloodshed.

After Ruth fails to help him, River plays a dangerous game of chess to remove Dikahn from power and improve his life. Meanwhile, Ruth must stop a distraught mother from trying to escape the compound with her daughter, Olivia.

The Highest suspects 'rats' lurk among the Rakadushi, so he orders River, the new Dikahn, with leading a public trial where cult members will be questioned... and brutally punished.

The fallout from the Gauntlet of Faith leaves Ruth and River at deadly odds, and when Dikahn finds himself in unfamiliar territory, he makes a sinister move to regain his power.

The Highest's growing instability and an FBI blockade make Ruth feel it's kill or be killed, and River strikes up an unexpected deal as he faces the pressures of being the new Dikahn.

Ruth faces the terrifying prospect that the truth about her pregnancy will be revealed, and a reconciliation between River and Joan throws a wrench in Lacey and Zane's exit strategy.
