NJ pays Tebatso a visit wanting to know why he would kill his ‘friend’ Phakade. Tebatso tells him they were not friends and that it was in self-defence. NJ is unwilling to listen and does not believe Tebatso. He is saddened as he still loves Phakade and is now gone forever. Meanwhile, his father escapes from prison with the intent of avenging Phakade.

Mantoa catches Mandla trying to sneak Puleng out of the house since they have been continuing with their affair. He tries to reason with her to keep his secret, but she is disappointed in him for playing with Seipati's heart. The reasons he gives her are thin, but she makes him promise to never cheat on Seipati again and then says she will not tell Seipati about the affair.

Mandla plans a special surprise for Seipati where he wines and dines her. He later tells her he loves her and has never felt like this for anyone. Seipati melts under Mandla's charms as it has been a long time since anyone has done anything nice for her. She tells him that it is a welcome distraction from life's problems.

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.
