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.

Papi is very suspicious of Puleng and is convinced that she is cheating on him with Mandla. He asks her point blank, and she instantly denies it. At first, he is not convinced, but in classic Puleng fashion, she convinces him that it is all in his head. She even goes as far as threatening that should he ever bring this topic up again, she will leave him. He then apologises and reminds her that he loves her. It is at this point that she starts to feel guilty.

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.

Papi has turned over a new leaf, forgiven Puleng for her secrets, and wants to be with her. Puleng ends up giving in to Papi's advances, and they share a moment of passion. She immediately regrets this and tells him that it was a mistake. Meanwhile, Mantoa meets Mandlakhe and is shocked by his presence.
