Married to Medicine | S9

Tebatso visits Poppy after getting a visit from Sarah. He is very upset with Poppy and wants to verify that he is not the father since they were intimate. Poppy insults him, and he then insults her back by saying that he clearly dodged a bullet where she is concerned. He goes on to say that he feels sorry for the baby as it will have to grow up in Poppy's family. Brenda then comes to Poppy's rescue, chases Tebatso out, and comforts Poppy after the encounter.

Mandla comes to Seipati's rescue, but instead of finding Seipati, he finds Gagashe. They get into a fistfight; Seipati is locked in a room with Mandlakhe, who is ready to feast. Seipati calls for help but is unsuccessful and takes matters into her own hands. She manages to throw something at Mandlakhe and successfully ends Mandlakhe, but because they are connected, Gagashe takes his last breath as well.

Nkanyamba tells Gagashe that Seipati's days are numbered and that he should make sure that her last day is a memorable one. Gagashe tries to find another way around what Nkanyamba says but is unsuccessful. Later Seipati wakes up from a nightmare and finds that Gagashe is not in the house. She looks for him in the cottage and finds him pleading with Mandlakhe.

Poppy gets kicked out of a restaurant by Robert's bodyguard after attempting to speak with him. Robert pretends not to know who Poppy is, which surprises her and the more she tries to remind him who she is, the more he feigns ignorance. She arrives back home, upset and asks Brenda for help.

Mandla visits Seipati at the house to warn her again that she is in grave danger. She confides in Mandla about the dreams that she has been having, but they are interrupted by Gagashe's arrival. He questions her about Mandla, and she lies to him. Later he meets with Nkanyamba about his growing concern regarding Mandla. Nkanyamba says to defeat Mandla, they will need Seipati's blood; if not, it will be the end of Gagashe.

Mandla attempts to rope in Mohau to help him bring down Gagashe, but he does not believe that he has a snake. Gagashe and Nkanyambe are unsettled because Mandlo 2.0 has come with powers that may be stronger than Mandlakhe's. This revelation has unsettled the happy home that Gagashe and Seipati were building as she also wants to know whether Gagashe has a snake.

Brenda barges into the Nondumo household and introduces herself as Poppy's mother. She informs Robert that he has impregnated Poppy. Robert vehemently denies it and claims he is a married man, but Brenda promises to return with her goons.

Mandla walks in on Papi proposing to Puleng. He tells them he is not there to disturb them; he is merely looking for Njabulo. He then tells Puleng that he knows that she has always loved Papi, and when she is ready, she can start the divorce proceedings. He leaves a stunned Puleng, as she did not expect him to react this way.

Japan sits down with his father and learns of a different truth than the one that Brenda told him. He learns that Brenda was the one that wanted to get rid of him and not Shakes. He then confronts Brenda and blames her for how his life has panned out. He is disgusted with her for keeping his father from him.

Seipati plans a romantic night for her and Gagashe. The mood is just right; the champagne has been popped. All that remains is for Gagashe to arrive and be spoilt. When Gagashe comes, he is pleasantly surprised by his wife, but reality soon sets in as he is not allowed to touch her. He excuses why he can't fulfil his duties as a husband, and Seipati is very frustrated and doesn't believe his reasoning. Later Gagashe calls Nkanyambe and Nkanyambe tells him that Mandlakhe refuses to share Seipati, so he must keep his hands off of her; otherwise, there will be dire circumstances.

Phakade is again trying his luck with Poppy, but this time he comes with receipts. He also discloses that he knows about her entanglement with Robert Nondumo. This revelation makes Poppy very uncomfortable as she knows her secrets are no longer safe. At any moment, her happy bubble with Tebatso can be popped by Phakade, and she does not like that at all.

Japan feels like to his mum he is nothing and that she values Puleng more than him because she has money. A distraught Brenda cries over her couches as Japan has set them alight and burned them. Japan asks what she thinks living without a father feels like. He later pulls a knife on her to get to the truth about his father. She eventually admits that Shakes wanted her to get rid of the pregnancy. Which is why she kept him from his father. Japan does not believe her and is hell-bent on finding the truth, no matter the cost.

Njabulo finally forgives Mpumi for not donating her kidney in his time of need. He now understands her reasoning, but just as things are on the mend for them, Mandla is thrown into the conversation, and Mpumi defends him. Njabulo is upset with Mpumi as Mandla is the cause of all his health issues. She tries to convince him otherwise, which sends him over the edge as he tells her to leave.

After Mantoa sees Mandlakhe, she is not herself. Gagashe calls Nkanyamba for help regarding Mantoa's situation. He says that for Mantoa to be ok, Mantoa must spend the night with Mandlakhe as thanks for sparing her life. Nkanyamba warns Gagashe that Madlakhe is livid, so he must appease him, and his apologies are no longer accepted; rather, action is required. Gagashe sends Mantoa away and brings another woman for Mandlakhe in Mantoa's place.

Mantoa is stuck in a trance after meeting Mandlakhe. The family are very concerned, especially Mohau. Seipati thought they had eaten space cookies, but that was not the case. She keeps babbling that their lives are in danger. A very worried Gagashe looks on as he is the only one in the room who knows what is wrong with Mantoa.

Papi has turned over a new leaf, forgiven Puleng for her secrets, and wants to be with her. Puleng ends up giving in to Papi's advances, and they share a moment of passion. She immediately regrets this and tells him that it was a mistake. Meanwhile, Mantoa meets Mandlakhe and is shocked by his presence.

Papi apologises to Njabulo for what Puleng has done. He vows to do right by NJ and make up for the missed moments they could have shared as father and son. Once they are settled at home, Puleng barges in, wanting to take NJ home. He declines as he tells her he is where he belongs, much to Puleng's dismay.

Seipati confronts Gagashe about the accusations from Puleng. He does what he does best; he deflects. He makes Seipati feel bad for questioning him and is successful once again in getting her off his trail of dead bodies. Meanwhile, Puleng is attempting to do the same thing but is unsuccessful as Papi is close by to ensure the truth comes out where NJ is concerned.

Puleng and Brenda pay Gagashe a visit asking him where Mandla's body is so that they can bury him. Gagashe is cool as a cucumber and is not ruffled by the accusations. Puleng and Brenda call the cops on Gagashe as they believe he is behind Bangizwe's death and Mandla's disappearance. This then starts to cause problems with Gagashe and Seipati as Seipati wants answers from Gagashe as well.

Robert is disappointed when he finds out that he will only be getting a cocktail and egg on his face from Poppy. Meanwhile, Gagashe continues his intimidation of Mandla, but this time he sheds innocent blood, to show that he means business.

Phakade continues his pursuit of Poppy. This time he goes a little too far by lying and saying they have to work and meet up with a client. As they start getting along, Phakade gets a bit too familiar with Poppy, and she has to remind him that she is not interested in him. She then asks about the client, and he starts to fumble over his words and then Poppy puts two and two together that there is no client. Phakade just wanted to spend some time with Poppy to win her over. His plan failed as she poured wine over him and left.

After discovering that NJ has a different father, Mpumi visits her mum in hopes of finding out who her father is. She leaves with an aching cheek and no answer as Puleng has written her off since she has refused to help her brother. Puleng later visits NJ in hospital, finds Papi there, and begs him again to consider donating his kidney to save NJ's life.

Za and Rakgadi only want to be together and do this love thing but Thuso has been a constant rock between them trying everything he can do to separate them but now he's figured out that what he did was wrong. While Za is on his way to KZN, he stops him and goes to confess to Rakgadi that he's the one behind all the mess.

Nkanyiso has been making Dimpho a fool ever since they started dating by seeing both her and Mandy which has put their relationship in a messy place so now she's giving him a taste of his own medicine. Dimpho decides to go to bed with a guy and then posts and ofcourse Nkanyiso comes running and urging her to stop.

Zakhele has been hard at work trying to prove his innocence to Rakgadi and luckily Charlie comes to his rescue when he sells Thuso out for being the one behind it all. The girl that was part of it refuses to call and confess which puts Za in a very difficult position, as it will make it hard for him to expose Thuso.

Zakhele is in a very tough spot that Thuso put him in after he misled him by making him think that he accepts his relationship with Rakgadi, only to go out to drink with him and get him drugged. His confrontation with Thuso however leads him nowhere while he enjoys seeing that he ruined things with them.

Nolwazi poked and poked and now she gets to reap the rewards. She had a good run with threatening Lindiwe in her own home in hopes of milking money and living off of her but now her and Mpendulo are experiencing how brutal she really can be, one is being held in order to be killed while the other gets to be the first one to go.

Lindiwe and Tshabalala have been hard at work trying to find the incriminating video that Nolwazi has been threatening her about and they finally managed to get it. After handling her business and who had it, Lindiwe drugs Nolwazi but she goes down with a fight and threats still.

New relationships are being tested. Nkanyiso has a task on his hands to try and prove to Dimpho that he is really into her and her alone but being busted while having a laugh with an ex isn't working in his favour at all. On the other hand, Rakgadi introduces Za to the family officially but everyone is in support except for Thuso still.

Lindiwe and Tshabalala are onto Nolwazi but she's too smart for them and catches on very quickly when she realises that they have KG with them trying to get answers. They come to a decision to let him go and the two lovebirds get to enjoy the perks of the soft life without paying for anything.

Thuso has taken on the protector role and decides to do whatever it takes to make sure that Zakhele stays away from Rakgadi. After he plants drugs and gets him fired, Rakgadi puts Za at ease and assures him that she'll make sure he gets his job back even if it means exposing Thuso.

Love is in the air in Refilwe. Rakgadi has fallen deep in love with Zakhele but her doubts because of the age gap between them made her hide it all and listen to people and now she wants to make it right but Za is not having it. Nkanyiso is hurt at how much dust Dimpho is paying him when he thought he was doing her a favour.

Nolwazi proposes her man with a 24-carat ring and gets herself one too, the Dikanas are puzzled at Lindiwe's generosity, meanwhile Dimpho dumps Nkanyiso like nothing ever happened.

The Thumbeza clan went all out to make sure that Khwezi gets the justice she deserves. After struggling for a bit, she decided to take them up on their offer to stand up and get her revenge which she did and everyone that hurt her got shot.

Khwezi has been going through a horrible time since she was held hostage for money in Refilwe and got beaten up through it all. The Thumbezas haven't rested since and promised her that all the criminals will be brought to book and that's exactly what happened when they found the brains behind it all, Tricks.

Paulina's pain is making her focus all her energy on baby Thato instead and raising him like her own. Angelina has been raising her concerns to Thuso who isn't bothered with all of it and Rakgadi also had her two cents with Paulina but that only made her go buy goodies for the baby.

Khwezi is going through a horrible time after being kidnapped in Refilwe. After being discharged from the hospital, she is experiencing episodes of being scared which is getting the family worried and wanting to get the culprits and giving them the punishment they deserve.

Nolwazi is playing her game and playing it well. She managed to convince Lindiwe that she was in danger and of course she went ahead to protect her sister and killed Hlubi. When Zweli announces that he died, Nolwazi puts on the performance of her life that even shocks Lindiwe.

Zolani is not willing to let go of Khwezi even after all the promises that he made to Emma about being her forever and continuing to work on their marriage so he continues to declare his undying love for her. Lindiwe on the other hand, kept her promise to protect her sister and went to kill Hlubi but it was all caught on camera.

The one person that should be by Paulina's side and making sure that everything that she's going through feels better is the same person that wants nothing to do with her. Thuso is hellbent on making sure that Paulina moves out but everyone is against it including Angelina, who's responsible for it all.

It continues to be a very tough time for Paulina especially after "losing" her baby and her speech at the funeral cut way deeper because she has no idea. ,Meanwhile, Angelina's guilty conscience is eating at her as she couldn't hold it in and now she's praying and justifying her actions still.

Paulina can't catch a break. After getting arrested, Thuso refused to get her out no matter what anyone said to him and he is instead blaming her for being selfish and inconsiderate but after begging him for a while when she returned home thanks to Zodwa, he agrees to let her attend the funeral but must leave the house after.
