The miners have found a diamond at Khanyisa Diamonds and gave it to Bukhosi instead of Lindiwe which resulted in them getting killed so that she can remain in the dark. She later drops by unannounced at the Hlophes and sees a strange man with them, who happens to be the one who'll help them sell it.

Robert receives Mdu's terms for releasing Alakhe back to them, but he is after much more than Robert is willing to give. Mdu's instructions are for Robert to unalive himself on national television then Alakhe will be returned to them. Donald thinks that he should do it as he is the cause of so much destruction. Sarah is beside herself and asks if there is another viable option to get Alakhe back.

The Hlophes don't have timing one thing about them but it seems to be working in their favour so far. They have managed to keep going with their plans to take Khanyisa Diamonds away from Lindiwe and making Andile their puppet is paying off because now, the miners are on a strike and demanding more money.

Khabzela has been going through a tough time trying to prove that he's not the one who murdered Irene. The community has been protesting for his release and even though he appreciate that he wanted to still testify which ended up taking him back to a very sad time in his life when he lost his mother, which made him vulnerable and showed the court that he's nothing close to a killer.
