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.

The mystery behind Siphiwe's murder gets worse for the Hlophes because Nomafu keeps dodging every question, but the mistake she did of leaving her blouse near the murder scene gets her in big trouble.

Robert is hell-bent on settling a score by shedding blood. He is now convinced of the path he must take, and it will not be through talking and reasoning but with bloodshed, as that is what gives him the edge he has been looking for. Seipati also has vengeance on her mind as she finds Mandla and Puleng in bed and rains bullets on them before hearing what they say.

Mantoa writes Seipati a letter telling her that she is very important in her life. She also apologises for not telling her the truth about Mandla. She eventually admits that he is not to be trusted and that Mandla is not truthful. Later, Robert is in his self-actualisation era, but that is short-lived as he finds himself on the ground with a bullet to the chest.
