Puleng and Mandla take a hard look at their finances and realise that they will be dead broke if they pay back the money owed to SARS. Puleng tries to blame Mandla for their financial woes, but it backfires on her as he is not interested in the blame game and tells her to sort out her tax problems. On the other side of town, Gagashe finds out that he has been lied to regarding the fire at D.K Lifestyle.

Zolani decides to bear it all to Khwezi and make her understand why he lied in the beginning and that leads them to taking their relationship to the next level. Khwezi quicky regrets though but Zolani assures her that he'll tell Emma that they should break up because she's the one for him.

Mandla confronts Seipati about whether Puleng's accusation is true or not, and he adds that he has done his research and he is coming to her for confirmation. She continues to evade the answer. While that is happening, Sarah's luck has run out as she is arrested for lying under oath, much to Donald's dismay.
