Natasha takes a firm stand against Eze Dibia's suggested rituals to break free from the shrine's hold. On another front, Muna challenges the spirits and Eze Dibia's choice of making Ndubuisi the Masquerade of Aniedo.

Eze Dibia declares Zina as the next Eze Dibia, sparking displeasure among some members of the council.

The village of Ofu-Obodo is plunged into an epic battle as the great masquerade of Aniedo clashes with the formidable Okwudike. In a dramatic showdown, Aniedo emerges victorious, but victory comes at a grave cost for Muna.

After Eze Dibia's death and the market site tragedy, Zina appeals to the spirits to select another fitting candidate to become the new Masquerade following Muna's decision to drop his title. While he no longer wants parts, as everyone sees him as incompetent, Zina forces Muna to participate in the Masquerade selection.
