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.

Robert is hell-bent on settling a score by shedding blood. He is now convinced of the path he must take, and it will not be through talking and reasoning but with bloodshed, as that is what gives him the edge he has been looking for. Seipati also has vengeance on her mind as she finds Mandla and Puleng in bed and rains bullets on them before hearing what they say.

Mantoa writes Seipati a letter telling her that she is very important in her life. She also apologises for not telling her the truth about Mandla. She eventually admits that he is not to be trusted and that Mandla is not truthful. Later, Robert is in his self-actualisation era, but that is short-lived as he finds himself on the ground with a bullet to the chest.

Mantoa tells Mandla that the secret that she is carrying is very heavy and since it is heavy, she wants payment for having to carry such a heavy burden. He later tries to reason with her to agree to keep his secret, but she is not interested in anything he offers. He even goes as far as offering her a job, but she tells him that she is a lady of leisure and will not be working. She will, however, have her money, and she will get it from Mandla.
