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.

Seipati reveals to Mandla that she is afraid that the past will repeat itself and that she will be humiliated again now that they are engaged. He manages to calm her fears for now. He later meets with Puleng and admits that she is right. He wants to get everything owed and asks her to help him get everything back.

Puleng wants Mohau to answer for his actions. She is very upset with him as she feels he has ruined Mpumi’s life. He is under the impression that Alakhe is his son and has told the Nondumo’s this. Mandla wants to get to the bottom of this and is shocked as Puleng continues to shout at Mohau for his actions.

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.
