Plot

When Madea’s niece, Shirley (Loretta Devine), visits Dr. Evans (Philip Anthony-Rodriguez) with Aunt Bam (Cassi Davis), she discovers her cancer has gotten worse and she may only have a few weeks to live. She invites her children to dinner to tell them all at the same time. Cora Simmons (Tamela Mann) and her father Leroy Brown (David Mann) are also at the hospital where a colonoscopy on Mr. Brown shows a growth that needs to be removed surgically. Meanwhile, Madea (Tyler Perry) furiously and violently drives her car through a restaurant named Snax because the manager had delayed taking her order until after the restaurant had stopped serving breakfast for the day. The manager had been preoccupied with a phone call and had been very rude to Madea when she called him out on it.

When Shirley's children, Byron (Shad "Bow Wow" Moss), Tammy (Natalie Desselle-Reid), and Kimberly (Shannon Kane) arrive for dinner, they end up having various arguments amongst themselves and their partners. Byron's ex-girlfriend and mother of his child, Sabrina (Teyana Taylor), arrives, calling Byron a "drug dealer" due to him having been one in the past before being caught and incarcerated. She also lies excessively, uses her son's child support money and supplies for herself, and tries to goad Byron back into selling drugs so she can get more money for herself in the process. Moreover, she also turns out to be the manager of Snax. With all of the drama and arguing that ensues at dinner, Shirley does not get the chance to tell the family about her cancer.

More drama amongst the family members continues, including Byron being arrested for failing to pay child support, Cora discovering that Mr. Brown may not be her real, biological father, and Byron realizing that he is actually Kimberly's son. Over time, Shirley's condition worsens greatly, and she is taken to the hospital where she later dies.

At the reception that followed, Madea confronts the family, making each of them resolve their individual issues with each other. Madea, Mr. Brown, and Cora appear on Maury to find out if Mr. Brown is in fact Cora's father. Madea insists that he is, but it turns out he is not. This shocks Madea, who runs off-stage, sobbing hysterically.
