As Zwai advocates for transparency, Loyiso questions him about his fourth baby. Lazola wants a family meeting with the Balas. Phelo suffers an alcohol relapse with dire consequences.

Mama V lays Tat Jafta's body to rest on top of his first wife. She promises to fulfil all the promises they made to one another. Meanwhile, Pinky ends her on-and-off 10-year relationship.

Zwai and Pinky's plans to rally their siblings and buy a family home for their mother are questioned. Mama can't bear living far from her stepchildren.

Mama V advises Zwai on formally finalising his divorce from Ayanda if he wants to move on with his new lover. The renovations at Mama V's house spark differing viewpoints.

Phelo gains the courage he needs to confront his oldest siblings, but his bravery is met with disdain as it leads to a disagreement, which Loyiso later tries to calm.

The siblings meet to discuss concerns over Phelo's drinking. Mama V and Phelo attend his uncle's funeral despite the absence of his other siblings.

Concerns about Phelo's drinking follow him to his father's side of the family. The Family kicks off their family retreat with different accounts and sentiments around Phelo and his life.
