Mxolisi is proud to hear his father tell him that he is willing to let go of the crime business and go the legitimate route, but he has one condition: they have to deliver one last order, the biggest deal they have ever received.
Muzi is thrown back when Mxolisi tells him he wants to oversee the transaction personally. Nkule tells Ayanda that she is in love with him - she has been feeling this way for him for a while and if it were up to her, things wouldn’t have happened as they did.
Sis Diana warns Ayanda: she knows what she and Nkule did. He better not hurt Nkule or he will have her (Diana) to deal with. Mastermind is appalled at Sma’s outburst when asked to talk about sex with Amandla.
