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.

Mpumi bids her family farewell as she heads to New York. NJ is not convinced by Puleng's story that Papi has left. He is on a quest to find his father. Mandla arrives shortly after, and Puleng tells him he needs to marry Seipati to ensure they can get what belongs to them since Papi's death has thrown a spanner in the works.

Mandla plans a special surprise for Seipati where he wines and dines her. He later tells her he loves her and has never felt like this for anyone. Seipati melts under Mandla's charms as it has been a long time since anyone has done anything nice for her. She tells him that it is a welcome distraction from life's problems.
