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.

Njabulo confronts a disappointed Puleng and Papi after they discovered that the safe they stole is empty. He is very angry with them as he wants them to grow up and stop acting like this. He’s very disturbed and disappointed by their actions to date and wonders why he has the family that he has.

Still reeling from the aftermath of the failed launch of Danko, Papi informs Puleng that their problems continue. He tells her he does not have any money to pay the bills. Puleng tells him that, as a man, he needs to think of something because she is not going back to Brenda's house. He tells her that he has no plan.

To save his life, Papi manages to get a journalist in jail to interview him and tell his side of the story, putting the blame wholly on Robert and his friends if anything were to happen to him. He also asks Robert to let Sarah go as they are in love. This infuriates Robert but Gagashe, on the other hand, has no regard for the law and how slowly Robert is 'dealing' with Papi. So he lets Robert know that he will do what he sees fit, and Papi will be the only one to regret it.
