However, her hostile personality is softened into a sympathetic, kind & caring personality whenever her family & friends are going through a tough time.

Season 1[]

Hattie has become so fed-up & aggravated that her grandson, Danny, has been leeching off of her, while living in her house, because he is unable to find a job & is tired of being rejected from every job that he previously tried to interview for. However, this quickly changes when she discovers that her daughter, Linda, is being cheated on by her husband, Lionel, soon after her brother-in-law, Floyd, caught him with Crystal, who is Drew's roommate. Soon after this, Danny receives a position at Drew & his best friend, Sam's workplace, with the help of his college degree. After receiving word that her husband was cheating on her, Linda goes into a depression & she finds comfort in staying at Hattie's house, which drives her crazy. Hattie doesn't agree with the plan that Linda might go back to Lionel to talk to him & solve their relationship issues, mainly because she doesn't have any money in the bank & bills are adding up. Sometime after her divorce from Lionel is finalized & her depression taking its toll on her for the worse, Linda is given some tough love by Hattie (tells her to fight back at whatever problem comes her way, despite her getting a divorce, thus she isn't the only one who has gone through a divorce) after she stays in Floyd's apartment after Hattie kicked her out of her house. One day, Hattie is suspected as the culprit after her arch-enemy, Vivian's diner burns down, because she originally threatened to burn her restaurant down due to the lack of customers. It is confirmed that the fire started because of the grease trap had not been cleaned for months & the flames went all the way up the wall. Vivian is devastated by this, because the fire marshal informs her that the insurance doesn't cover for the damage. Danny, Linda & Floyd apologize to Hattie for immediately assuming that she was responsible for the fire.

Soon after this incident, Hattie debates on whether or not creating a business deal/partnership with Vivian after sales are pretty slow at the diner. After Danny reaches his breaking point with Sam's partying & drinking addictions, Hattie discovers this & she decides to make things right, mainly to prevent Danny from moving back into her house if Sam continues to drink & party every night. She ends up going to Sam's latest party & serves him a beverage that she made, which is called, "White Lightning", & Sam wakes up the next morning & finds himself being handcuffed to Hattie. Sam & Danny are convinced that Hattie & Sam slept together & the plan to get him to stop partying had gone completely wrong. It is later revealed that they didn't really sleep together & that after Sam had passed out, Linda brought Hattie to their apartment at 6:00a.m. in the morning & she got into bed with Sam & put the handcuffs on him to teach him a lesson. Sam decides to take responsibility & apologize to Danny by cutting back on all the partying & drinking & apologize to Hattie. A little while after this, a bunch of confusion arises when Hattie misunderstands Linda during their conversation about celibacy. Soon after, Hattie has an annual checkup at the hospital, she immediately believes that she is dying after overhearing the others talking to Vivian after she told them that her horse is close to dying. After Marianna has an annual shelter dinner at the diner, Hattie is shocked when she discovers a deserted baby in the restaurant's restroom. Hattie is one that will do anything to gain immediate sympathy & unnecessary assistance from the others. This is shown after she falls while working late one night at the diner & feigns serious injury.
