Wednesday’s Black-ish is Season 3’s Thanksgiving episode, and it introduces another branch of the Johnson family tree: Pops’ (Laurence Fishbourne) older sister Almaviligerais (A.V. for short).
A.V. shows up unexpectedly to Thanksgiving, to the delight of everyone except Ruby (Jenifer Lewis), who for some reason can’t stand her ex-sister-in-law.
And if A.V. is anything like Vee, she’s not a good family member.
It could be because A.V. is played by Lorraine Toussaint, best known for playing the scary-as-hell gangster Vee on Season 2 of Orange Is the New Black.
