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.

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.

Lindiwe is still on the hunt looking for Ntuthuko and now Zolani was more than happy to find Nkanyiso first and torture him until he tells the whole truth about his uncle but through the pain, he admitted to being part of it all but still doesn't know where he is because he left him behind with the mess.
