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.

Donald confronts Mpumi about her affair with Mohau. She admits to sleeping with him on their wedding day. He loses his temper, which alerts the whole family to watch it all play out. He soon passes out while asking Mpumi how she could do this to him.

Donald is in a bad state as he is on the run with Alakhe. He gets a message from his father, who tells him there is still time to fix this. Unfortunately, that message falls on deaf ears. Unbeknown to him, they are in grave danger as they seem to have a tail. Mpumi is distraught when she finds out that Alakhe and Donald are gone. She feels that Donald is doing all of this to make her pay. She fears the worst and is unconsolable, even as Puleng tries to tell her that Alakhe will return.

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.
