 Mike is furious at Zukiswa and fires her. She feels alone in the world, and no-one seems willing or able to help her. The workers on the development want answers and begin to protest against Mthunzi and the investors. Lwazi is torn between wanting to get the job done and also having many questions of his own about what is going on. Lungi has to decide whether he will ask for joint custody for his son in the divorce settlement, but also has a difficult decision to make as Lubusi seems on the verge of erupting into something ugly. Mthunzi puts him on the spot and asks him to stay to help with a meeting so that the investors can explain what is going on. Zukiswa runs out of options and turns to the worst possible person to help her.
