With the contract lost, Sanele takes desperate steps to save Magwaza Construction, but at what cost? Ayanda's condition worsens, and the family fears this is beyond medical explanation.

Things continue to fall apart for Sanele, and a chilling message from the other side brings him to his knees.

Two spirits fight for one body. Who will emerge victorious? A loved one's life hangs by a thread.

Sanele's body walks the earth, but another soul is in control. While Pablo's eye is on Gadla's tender, Gadla is eyeing Pablo's best possession.
