Mantoa catches Mandla trying to sneak Puleng out of the house since they have been continuing with their affair. He tries to reason with her to keep his secret, but she is disappointed in him for playing with Seipati's heart. The reasons he gives her are thin, but she makes him promise to never cheat on Seipati again and then says she will not tell Seipati about the affair.

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.

Seipati talks with Mantoa about the problems in Mantoa's marriage. She asks why she is being used as a pawn to keep Mohau. She is very upset as she feels that things that brought her a lot of pain are being used as weapons. Mantoa flips the script, denies everything and goes on to expose Mohau and Mpumi being in love. This gets Mandla's attention, who proceeds to beat Mohau for his actions with his daughter.

Gagashe's dream of living with his sweetheart in Johannesburg is threatened because of Mandlakhe. He wants to meet with Seipati before the wedding, but Gagashe is against it. He is warned to heed the warning because should he not listen, it will not end well. Meanwhile, Seipati is starting to suspect that something is not right, but Mantoa puts it off as nerves before the wedding.
