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.

Phakade continues his pursuit of Poppy. This time he goes a little too far by lying and saying they have to work and meet up with a client. As they start getting along, Phakade gets a bit too familiar with Poppy, and she has to remind him that she is not interested in him. She then asks about the client, and he starts to fumble over his words and then Poppy puts two and two together that there is no client. Phakade just wanted to spend some time with Poppy to win her over. His plan failed as she poured wine over him and left.

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.

Phakade is again trying his luck with Poppy, but this time he comes with receipts. He also discloses that he knows about her entanglement with Robert Nondumo. This revelation makes Poppy very uncomfortable as she knows her secrets are no longer safe. At any moment, her happy bubble with Tebatso can be popped by Phakade, and she does not like that at all.
