Episode 24
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. She reveals that it is not the same as having spoken to her about something she has experienced, like having her period. She can’t talk sex when she is a virgin herself.
Sindisiwe is nervous about meeting with Nothando’s daughter after her passing, hoping she will not get blamed for the death of the old woman, but it is good news for her as Zandile recognizes the faces of the women in the photograph Nothando’s daughter called her to give to her. There is a link. She needs now to find the Julia woman.
