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.

Donald tells Mpumi that he still loves her. He tells her that he has had a hard look within, and he feels that the reason for his coldness towards her was that he was hurting. He wants to fix things, and this leaves Mpumi confused. She mulls the news over with her family, who urges her to go to New York. She later decides that she wants to live her life and will move forward with moving to New York. This news comes as a surprise to Donald as he was sure that he had his family back together again.

Thuso has been bitten by the events bug, a life that he used to live and wasn’t aware that he missed and loved until Percy came back into his life. He has now decided to join him and go to another province to host events instead of being in an office anymore.

Thuso has taken on the protector role and decides to do whatever it takes to make sure that Zakhele stays away from Rakgadi. After he plants drugs and gets him fired, Rakgadi puts Za at ease and assures him that she'll make sure he gets his job back even if it means exposing Thuso.
