The movie addresses Patricia’s missing presence by saying she is on a lecture tour and may be coping with the loss of her husband, who was killed in a car accident at the end of the second film. No one was recast; instead new characters arrive, most notably Taraji P. Henson as Roselyn, a powerful businesswoman connected to the group.
The plot centers on Roselyn’s son Wesley (Everett Osborne) marrying Jasmine (Armani Greer), the daughter of Marcus and Angela. Several younger characters appear, played by Da’Vinchi, Laya DeLeon Hayes, Jaden Michael, Charles L. Smith II, Derrick A. King and Sydney Winbush.
