Robert decides to not go through with the demand from Mdu. As he does that, Mdu attempts to get rid of Alakhe, but the police intersect in time and arrest him. Detective Khalipha calls Sarah telling her to tell Robert to abort the mission as they have found Mdu and Alake, and Alakhe is safe. They are too late as just as he is about to answer the call, Donald arrives to help his father finish the mission to save his son.

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.

There is no love lost between Sarah and Mpumi. Sarah tells Mpumi that she is selfish in taking Alakhe to New York with her. She even goes as far as trying to slap her. Mpumi tells Sarah that she is not afraid of her and that threatening her will not help as her decision is made. The Nondumo family try to find a way to keep Alakhe from leaving.

After discovering that NJ has a different father, Mpumi visits her mum in hopes of finding out who her father is. She leaves with an aching cheek and no answer as Puleng has written her off since she has refused to help her brother. Puleng later visits NJ in hospital, finds Papi there, and begs him again to consider donating his kidney to save NJ's life.
