In the next episode of "Being Mary Jane", "One Is the Loneliest Number," tragic event go from the personal to the public as Mary Jane's Satellite News Channel covers a fatal school shooting in Atlanta.

As reported in TV.com things will be moving around for all the characters of "Being Mary Jane" as a new man comes into Kara's life and helps her to find a new purpose, while Mark's relationship with Eric comes to an end, and Patrick makes a shattering discovery.

Mary Jane and Sheldon will also hit a new step in their relationship, as she will meet his friends.

As we have come to expect from the high drama, dilemma-fueled world of the BET show, the last episode “Let’s Go Crazy” -- aptly named after the Prince song about spiritually surviving and not letting the elevator take you down -- had our heroine reaching out for a higher power before just trying to get a little high.

After she and David (Stephen Bishop), her hunk of an on-again off-again boyfriend, decide to have a baby, Mary Jane (Gabrielle Union) comes to decide to just allow God to lead her life.

David comes to her the morning after they make the decision to bring life into the world and is confused and put off by a mournful speech Mary Jane makes.

The frustrated man starts to vacuum then pours out all her of liquor. Later, when talking to his friend Chris he even brings the stress of his relationship down along racial lines saying: “This is why I stopped messing with black women.”

At which point he is put in line by hearing from his friend that the problem with his relationship is that he and Mary Jane have a lack of communication.

Stephen Bishop, the actor who plays David, sees a lot of himself in the character.

In an interview with Zap2it, Bishop said: “There are a lot of similarities between David and myself. I say that there are more similarities than there are differences, to be honest with you.”

“Some people don't think he's such a good guy,” Bishop said, adding that: “I would hope that most people would understand his side of things.”

The 44-year-old actor and retired baseball player puts a lot of the show's intensity on the actions of its main character saying: “I think Mary Jane is the catalyst for most of the drama that they had in Season 1 because of the fact she wasn't honest. A lot of those things kind of caused a chain reaction and he may not be in the position that he's in with Ana if Mary Jane had just been honest with him in the first place.”

The episode airs Tuesday at 10:30 p.m., March 24.
