Papi is very suspicious of Puleng and is convinced that she is cheating on him with Mandla. He asks her point blank, and she instantly denies it. At first, he is not convinced, but in classic Puleng fashion, she convinces him that it is all in his head. She even goes as far as threatening that should he ever bring this topic up again, she will leave him. He then apologises and reminds her that he loves her. It is at this point that she starts to feel guilty.

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.

Mpumi tells Donald she is leaving for New York and taking Alakhe with her. He does not react favourably, but she tells him that her mind is made up and that he can visit if he wants to. Meanwhile, Puleng is back to her old tricks, trying to win Mandla back since her gravy train with Papi has dried up.
