Rea cannot continue to lie to her mum-in-law about the extent of their relationship. She is not happy that she has been reduced to an insurance policy. His mum-in-law is disappointed and tells them this isn't what her father would have wanted. Rea admits that she loves Vusi but cannot continue because he does not view her the same way.

While he's been walking around like he's trying to fix things with his father, to the point of being given a chance to move in to the mansion, Ndumiso goes and decides to steal from Lindiwe and later acts nonchalant about it when they catch him having a good time.

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.

Sarah continues to tell Robert how bad a father he is for arresting Donald. She is upset that he may be using the whole situation for his own political gain, to one day become the president. Robert later gets a call from his old enemy, Mdu, who should be behind bars but is now dangling Alakhe as bait to get to Robert. He responds with anger and disdain as he realises that Donald was right all along.
