While Diana is worried about the unrequited feelings Nkule has for Ayanda, Zandile is happy to see him at church, although unpleased with her knowledge that he is a barman at the Tshisa Nyama. She misses her son. Ayanda misses home too.
Sindi receives condolences from the Mdletshe family and a discovery is made, the world is so small. The hospital Sindi needs help from is the same one Zandile’s son was born in, but a year before the year Sindi mentioned: 1990 and not 1991.
Zandile and Melusi have a debate about whether they should let Nkosinathi go on his date with Amandla. Zandile is worried that Nkosinathi may be too young to be going on dates but Melusi speaks sense into her head, this generation of kids will do these things whether or not the parents agree, so it is better to just be open about it.

Muzi takes the bull by the horns as he fights his son’s battle. Mxolisi is given an ultimatum. He is either okay with his father buying his docket (Muzi being the criminal), or they can just both be known as criminals. Muzi does not want his son’s future to be tainted by what he is not.
As Ayanda drowns further in the depth of his player ways, Nkule’s heart sinks in misery. She confronts him about his random sleep outs, is he seeing someone? Ayanda reassures her that she will always be his Bonnie. Ayanda is high in demand and has to pick one of the millions of girls calling him, this upsets Nkule but she has no say.
When Sindi expresses her disappointment in the only lead she had, Nothando, Zandile gives her a new height of enthusiasm. Dementia is not a total train smash. When Sindi tries sitting with her a whole day, Nothando rambles on the same word of having found “her”, leaving Sindi even more confused.

When she confronts Ayanda, Nkule is appalled and disappointed to learn that Ayanda doesn’t just sleep with multiple women for pleasure, but he does so in exchange for money. Sis Diana talks to Nkule about her heart-break, she thinks Nkule had better tell Ayanda how she feels about him.

Sindi is a split second away from breaking down when to her relief, she finally finds an ally, a male nurse who has seen her at the hospital a number of times and would like to know what she needs. He promises to try his best to assist her.
Amandla is worried she should not have taken advice from any of her friends. Nkosinathi has not said a word to her and nor has he accepted her FB relationship request. This is all her fault.

They need to set up a meeting with Mabuza to get word about what the police are up to now.
Zandile and Nkule talk about the discussion that Zandile had with Ayanda about his feelings for Nkule. Nkule is happy to learn that even though he might have not mentioned that he loves Nkule, Ayanda certainly may have great feelings for her, based on how, Zandile says, he spoke to her about Nkule.
Sindisiwe is down-spirited and despondent. Every plan of hers to fix the problem her mother created seems to be backfiring at every attempt, barrier after barrier and this is all too much for her. Zandile comforts her. Sindi confronts Norman about his sexual predator ways and threatens to report him if he does not get the file to her by tomorrow. Norman is fearful of her and promises to get the file for her.

Episode 21

Nosipho sees her father livid, a side she has never seen of him before. Nkule speaks to Sis Diana about deejaying at the TshisaNyama. She is sceptical. Nkule lets Zandile in on the ten questions she found on the internet on how to know if a guy likes you, they are nine out of ten true and Zandile reassures Nkule that there is nothing to worry about.
Sindisiwe’s optimism is reinvigorated. She asks Zandile if she knows a woman called Juia, it is the name the old woman kept on uttering in her outbursts, same name that appeared on her mother’s files. It looks like they worked together. Zandile has no memory of the name at all.
Sindi needs to get a hold of Nothando again. Mastermind and Sma are dumfounded at the appalling announcement made by their bubbly sibling Amandla, about her relationship status with Nkosinathi. It is official and the parents know.
Mastermind says they are moving too quickly and now might be the time to then have the “birds and bees” conversation with Amandla. This burden is left on Sma’s shoulders.
Monday 30 March 2015
Episode 22
Nosipho has locked herself in her room in fear of crossing paths with her father. She expresses her fear of him. Muzi apologizes to Nosipho and they make peace. Mxolisi too apologizes to his father for causing trouble, but he gives Muzi an ultimatum, Muzi had better get out of the crime, or else involve Mxolisi.
Muzi is left with something to consider. Ayanda lies to Sis Diana about Muzi having agreed to have him DJ at the TshisaNyama. Nkule invites Ayanda for a surprise dinner at which they celebrate their friendship and Ayanda’s success. They share a passionate kiss… blatantly crossing the line (evidently pre-empting what more is to happen.)
Melusi and Zandile have the sex conversation with Nkosinati, leaving Zandile worried at Nkosinathis’ announcement that he might consider engaging in sex now that he has a girlfriend. Sma is nervous about how she will talk to Amandla about sex, what she will say. GC tells her the important thing is to tell Amandla about protection.
Sindi has returned home distraught. Nothando is dead and now she fears the impossibility of ever putting her mother’s past to rest. Her curse will never go away. Melusi and Zandile are surprised to hear this.
Tuesday 31 March 2015
Episode 23
After conducting some research on the internet, tapping in on the psyche of a master criminal, Mxolisi realizes the extreme extent to which one would have to go to get Muzi out of crime.
Mabuza meets with Mastermind and enquires about the hold up, what all this silence means for them, for business. Mastermind blames it all on Mxolisi and tells Mabuza to hold on…until further notice.
Nkule and Ayanda are fast asleep at the hair salon, woken up by the entry of GC and SMA. It is blatant that they had sex. Nkule tells Sis Diana what happened between her and Ayanda. Sis Diana feels that if Ayanda slept with Nkule, he should commit to her from now moving forward.
Sma sees Zandile about the Nkosinathi-Amandla relationship and the issue of sex. As much as Nkosinathi has had his father speak to him about sex, Sma would like Zandile to speak to Amandla too because she (Sma) is a virgin and therefore has no frame of reference whatsoever. Zandile is proud of Sma, the epitome of how a woman should carry herself. She will speak to Amandla.
Sindi receives a call from Nothando’s daughter who tells her she would like to meet with her, she has some things to tell her but this conversation cannot be held over the phone. She will have to see her tomorrow. Sindi agrees with much hope.
Uzalo is on SABC1 Mondays to Wednesdays at 20h30.
