01x05 - Faceoff

Post by bunniefuu »

[dramatic music playing]

If your man ain't out here doing sh*t,
then you wouldn't be out here

being very insecure
about every woman that you see,

thinking she'll sleep with your man.
He's not my type. The audacity.

If they're not going to keep
their husbands in one place,

and they see them speaking to women,
they shouldn't come for us.

I probably need to call Khanyi about this.

I'll quickly leave a voice note.

Hey, babes, what's up?

So, I had lunch with Anne,
and she came out attacking how,

why I spoke to her husband in private.

Like, it's been such an issue
from Diamond's birthday.

She was insisting why am I speaking…

Why does her man want to speak to me
as much as she's showing him, you know?

High tea, same story.
You do remember that part.

And then today, it's like,
why did I take Innocent aside to say…

oh, I said, um, she's a liar.

I don't know why she's even accusing me
of saying she is a liar.

I think this man has been cheating around.

I mean, I think
he is cheating with almost everyone.

And now when she sees
another powerful woman,

and she is the insecure little b*tch,

she already feels intimidated
and, you know, threatened.

"Oh, that's also going to be
another victim."

Her man is not even my type.

He isn't my type. He's… [scoffs]

f*ck, f*ck that.

We're gonna talk about this
some other time.

Call me when you get my message.

"I'm married, and you're not!"
Is that the ultimate goal? Being married?

I don't need to secure a man.

[dramatic music continues]

[upbeat hip-hop music playing]

[Khanyi] I like tea, so I thought,
"Let's go to Blairgowrie."

You know, from time to time,
I will go into these environments

and try these strange little things.

[Nadia] I'm officially back from Mexico.

I had such an amazing
holiday birthday week.

Ah-ah. What are we doing now?

-[Khanyi laughing] There she is!
-There's always activities!

-What's happening?
-[Khanyi] No, this is for you!

Nadia's had a whole two weeks
of being sexy on an island,

but now I want the details.

-What?
-Show me what you were doing in Mexico.

I don't know if we were doing pole stuff.

We were doing, like,
bundu-bashing and ocean stuff.

We spent two days at a resort.

The rest of the days,
we were in an isolated Airbnb,

like literally a house in the jungle,
with the ocean right by our doorstep.

We got to connect a lot more
than we already have,

and no one could hear us.

And he was feeding me d*ck and food!

Wow.

[Nadia] The most amazing trip.

Like, we connected on such a level
that I didn't expect to connect.

Hi, ladies!

-Hi!
-[Nadia] Hi, how are you?

-Those shorts are the one.
-Thank you.

-Yeah.
-[all laughing]

[Khanyi] Not to alarm Nadia,

but I just had to let her know what
the squad and the crew has been up to,

and there's a wedding coming up.

2Baba took Annie on a surprise getaway.

-Oh, really?
-They went to Sun City.

-Do you need some sanitizer?
-And he proposed for them to renew…

-Ohh!
-…their wedding vows.

-[Nadia] Celebrating his proposal?
-That's why they called us together.

Yeah.

As they arrived to tell us the good news,
Zari took 2Baba to the side

and said to 2Baba,

-um, "Your wife is very insecure."
-What?

-Of you, Zari?
-[dramatic music playing]

So-- so Annie's insecure of you, honey?

Best friend?

Stop.

Annie lost it.

-Really?
-Annie is upset.

Even today.

[Nadia gasps]

Does she know 2Face like that?

Apparently she does. Apparently they did
Channel O together or something.

I don't know, babe.

Like, stop with the mess.
Like, really, stop with all the…

No. Why did she do that?

I feel like she has a vendetta
against Annie, to be honest with you.

Maybe it's time
I have breakfast with this person…

-Yeah.
-…and find out, "Dude, what's your angle?"

You know me,
I always give people a chance.

I never just take what people say.

And I think it's time
for me and Zari to have a tea.

[upbeat hip-hop music playing]

[Zari] I sent Khanyi a voice note
because I wasn't, you know, feeling okay

after what happened between me and Annie.

I'm going to have lunch with Khanyi.

She's the only person
that I felt I could speak to about

what happened between me and Annie.

[Khanyi] Zari.

Oh, there you are.

-[chuckling] Hello, my love.
-Hi.

You are looking sexy, baby. Always.

Listen, I had to bring out a power suit,
because…

"Because," what's going on?

And the voice note?

-[Zari] Friend--
-What's going on?

I don't know what happened that day.

I just arrived there
being nice and friendly.

"Zari, let me get straight to the point."

"Why did you tell my husband
this and this and this?"

That she's been asking how I know him.

That I'm literally telling
her man she's insecure.

We're in it now.

We're in the thick of the w*r.

This is going to test the family.

Girl, I didn't even have a chance.

-She was there calling me a b*tch--
-She called you a b*tch?

-Yeah, a b*tch.
-Like-- like to your face?

Like, "b*tch. You're such a b*tch."

I said, "You are so misplaced,
and you have insecurity problems."

[dramatic music playing]

[Annie] I haven't really spoken to Swanky
about Zari,

what she did, the confrontation,

and I really want to know
what Swanky thinks about this,

'cause I know Zari is also his friend
and he has worked with Zari,

he has styled her
for her birthdays before.

So they have
a business working relationship.

-Swanky. I thought you were gonna be late.
-[chuckles] I know.

Annie's invited me to this lunch,

and prior to the invite,

um, at Andile's event, you know,
I overheard Annie and Kayleigh

talking about a situation,
but I didn't want to get into it,

because I wasn't sure
exactly what they were talking about.

[Annie] I told you
I was gonna have lunch with her.

-[Swanky] Mm.
-Zari.

[Swanky] Mm. [laughs]

How did that go?

I don't know if I should say
it went well, it went bad,

but at least I told her,
you know, how I feel.

And what did she say?

She was not apologetic.

She didn't think
she did anything wrong, actually.

She kept insisting, "It was your man
who wanted to speak to me."

"It was your man…"

Like, she didn't think it was wrong

for her to get the opportunity
to speak to your husband--

Like, I brought him into that space.
Do you understand?

Unless where would she see him?

[Zari] She has low self-esteem.

And I think she has a whole lot
of things going on in her marriage.

She needs to find a place
where she can direct her energy.

This right here is a typical example
of broken women.

I mean, you look at Zari,
her own love story isn't a fairy tale.

It takes one to see one,

and that's why it's easy for them
to call each other names, because

they're literally looking into a mirror.

She feels like you are belittling her
in front of her husband.

That is her home. How could you go to
her man instead of come to her straight?

But I did obviously, so many times,
and she was just not taking it.

She keeps asking the same question.

[Khanyi] You keep stealing moments
away from her.

Even at Diamond's party,

when her husband was on the phone,
you stole that moment,

because it was supposed to be
her sharing her friends,

and then it was about you.

It is her husband
who insisted so many times…

-[Khanyi] I know.
-…put the phone back to Zari.

I know.

And he wanted to speak to everybody.

-Exactly. He wanted to speak to everybody.
-And like he was being nice.

He was being friendly.

-So why are you thinking yours was…?
-Special.

But actually, Swanky,
me, I don't even want it to linger,

'cause there's nothing there.

No, I feel like she needs to really…

Like, I thought she would have apologized
at the lunch.

-I didn't feel that way.
-Because, like--

I think Zari is delusional.

I definitely want to have
a conversation with Zari to know

exactly what happened
from her side of the story.

And if Annie is mad at you…

like, I can't even compromise that.

You are a very influential,
powerful woman, right?

And you need to understand,
when a strong woman walks in,

it's a problem.

-Intimidation.
-But we can deal.

-Yeah.
-But when your husband acknowledges

the same powerful woman
that intimidates you,

it's gonna affect you.

Do you understand?

So, in her defense,

she is just projecting onto you.

-Yeah. Yeah.
-Right?

I don't think it's really about you.
There's problems in there.

We are dealing with a woman that has

deep-seated issues and unresolved
situations and issues within her.

But it doesn't give us the right
to play on those, um, emotions,

play on those weaknesses.

I wish that day you pulled her man aside,
you could have told him the truth.

[Zari] Hmm.

Instead of telling him that
his wife is insecure,

I want to tell him,

"Are you aware how much damage
you've caused to this woman?"

"Do you know how much
she's taken from you, and loving you?"

That's what's causing
the whole low self-esteem issue.

-Me, I want the guy.
-It's him.

I'm understanding why
Annie feels how she feels.

And clearly, it's just not about Zari.
There's… there's more to this.

Yeah. Hmm.

-[Annie] Look who's here! Kayleigh's here!
-Kayleigh!

-[Kayleigh] Hey, beautiful, how are you?
-My Oyinbo.

-Please, ladies first.
-[Swanky laughing]

I was patient.

Kayleigh walks in,
looking beautiful as usual.

But I can see that something is wrong.

-How's Naked?
-[Annie laughing]

Like, leave the girl alone.
Let her breathe.

I can see how Naked is from how she looks.

[Annie] Yes.

-Really?
-You guys live together, right?

-No.
-Oh, you don't?

-I thought they did.
-They live together somehow.

-[Kayleigh] We don't live together.
-[Swanky] Somehow.

Quinton and I are not on
the best of terms at the moment.

But, yeah, I don't really feel like

I want to or need to share that
with everybody.

What I'm saying is don't live there
until you get, like, a proper invite.

No, that's exactly what I'm saying.

That's what she said.
Like, he has to ask her to move in.

In seven days in a week,
how many days in a week are you there?

-Six and a half days, I'm sure.
-[Swanky] Exactly.

Maybe four.

Maybe five times.
Maybe six times. I don't know.

Maybe reduce it to two.

[playful music playing]

He needs time for himself.

Kayleigh's always in his house,
in his bed, in his couch, in his kitchen,

and he's just like, "Heck, honey,
I'm over this. Like, you need to go home."

Especially if you guys are not married.

You wanna save all that excesses
for when you guys are officially

a couple, you know?

No, no, I get it. Uh, I mean, I need to--
I need to, maybe, cut it down.

When you love someone,
you wanna be around them all the time, so…

I-I really don't see an issue with it.

[upbeat hip-hop music playing]

[Nadia] A lot obviously has been happening
since I've been gone.

I got a bit of a lowdown from Khanyi,

but I'm super excited
to find out what actually happened

from Annie and Swanky and Kels.

-You missed so much.
-Don't say "so much"! Don't say that.

-You missed Andile's party.
-Why was he having an all-white party?

Just for vibes?

[Kayleigh] There was more drama.

-Andile's party was drama.
-Both baby mamas were there.

What?

He's so messy. Why did he invite both?

Andile has this relationship
with both of them that is so weird,

'cause it's so close still,
and there's a bond.

[Swanky] Yeah, because they
have to all co-parent.

What's up with these men
and their baby mamas?

Co-parenting is different to this.

-That's not co-parenting.
-It's not co-parenting.

They're co-parenting,
and they're co-shaying.

-They're co-shaying!
-[Nadia] They are shaying.

What's shaying? Knacking?

I do think it's starting to look
like a swingers club.

I mean, everyone's just, you know,
taking what they can and who they can.

-So who's Andile dating now?
-I don't think he's dating either one.

-Maybe he's dating Zari.
-[Annie] He's not dating either one.

Dating Zari?

[Swanky laughing]

He was kissing Zari on the same day.

The same day the baby mamas were
at the crib, he was kissing Zari?

See, men…

Cheat on me or do nonsense behind my back,
not in front of my eyes.

No, he left… He walked away.
He walked up the stairs with Zari.

Okay, so isn't…
Oh, wow! What a freaking hypocrite!

'Cause he's the one at Diamond's house

that took me upstairs to have
a conversation, busy telling me,

"Oh, you're leading him on.
Don't you like him, what?"

Now you're hooking up with his baby mama.

-[Annie screams] God!
-[Nadia] Wow.

-[Nadia] Wow.
-[Annie exclaims in Pidgin]

[in English] That's dirty.

You busy touching up and kissing Zari.

Isn't Diamond your boy?

[playful music playing]

[scoffs]

["Price to Pay" performed by Miss Pru DJ
ft. Blaq Diamond & Malome Vector playing]

[Andile] So, I invited Zari for a drink.

Oh, hey.

[Andile] Whenever I'm around her,
whenever she's in the same room as me,

you know, we float towards each other.

I don't know what that is.

Oh, friend.

-[music distorts]
-Lady at the-- What?

-Never mind.
-What did you say?

-I said "friend."
-[humorous music playing]

-No, you're not talking to me, are you?
-No.

-I'm not your friend.
-No?

-No. Why would you think I'm your friend?
-Who are you?

-Okay, what are you to me? Start there.
-I don't know, but it's not friend.

'Cause that's-- that…
[chuckles] …that puts you in a…

That puts me in a category
I don't want to be in.

Am I friendzoning you now?

You can clearly see there's that thing
between me and Andile.

I just also can't stop myself.

I think because of his advances,
I also just keep falling for that.

Thanks for seeing me, though.

-I always want to see you.
-You always want to see me.

-But you never make the time.
-Because I'm busy.

You make time for the things you want.

[chuckles sarcastically] Exactly.
What makes you think I want you?

I don't think you want me.

Do you wanna want me?

[Andile] She's a little standoffish.

But I'm a dude, you know?

That's what I do. I crack eggs.

-[romantic music playing]
-[Zari] Why did you ask me to come here?

-[Andile] 'Cause--
-'Cause what?

We always drift towards each other
when we're with people.

So you wanted to know what it feels like
when it's just the two of us?

-I wanted to see if there's…
-There's what?

-Good vibes? Some type of energy?
-That I know already.

-Some kind of chemistry, or…?
-Maybe.

You're such a charmer boy, you know that?
You know the right spots to hit.

You're fighting me. Today, I can see it.

-I'm not, I'm not.
-You are.

I can imagine from the rest of the guys
how this must look,

especially since Diamond
is not here at the moment,

and it almost looks opportunistic.

Does that bother you?

-No.
-[Zari chuckles]

There's nothing like that.
I told you, there's…

There's nothing like intimacy
between me and Diamond.

And, like I said,
I don't know what this is. So…

I'm just trying to figure it out.

[upbeat hip-hop music playing]

[engine revving]

[Khanyi] 2Baba is in town,
just for one night,

and I'm going to take this opportunity
to finally talk to him man-to-man.

But I also need to know
if they're mentally ready for this.

What's the motive behind all of this?
Because rings don't fix problems.

-There they are!
-[Annie] Mm, mm, mm, mm. Stop, girl.

[Innocent] It was a beautiful thing
to chill with beautiful people

and have dinner
and enjoy healthy conversation

and laughs and all that.

So I need your permission after the toast,

I'd like to speak to Inno,
if it's okay with you, Annie.

[Annie] It's okay.
Me too, I want to speak to Kudzi.

-You guys want to--
-Yeah, my wedding gift.

That's who I'm talking to
for my wedding gift. [laughing] Hi.

[Khanyi laughing]

So first of all, I had to announce
at the table to get permission

because I don't want
to be called to a lunch.

Like another friend of mine did.

Man, Khanyi. Damn, girl.

[Innocent] Khanyi pulls me aside,

and I'm wondering,
you know, what it's all about.

[tense music playing]

I've grown…

to love your wife so much.

Wow, nice.

Right, and she's crazy.

-[Innocent laughing]
-But, as time went on…

I got to understand her.

Do you know how much she loves you?

I think I do.
I think I… You know, I feel it.

[tense music continues]

-I'm serious. Do you know how--
-Yeah, I feel it.

Like, she would burn herself
to keep you warm.

It's scary sometimes.

-Yeah, like psycho. It's crazy.
-[Innocent chuckles]

She's always shown
how-- how much she loves me.

-I think she even shows it more than I do.
-Yeah!

[Innocent] You know…

It hasn't come across to me
that Innocent is aware

how hard Annie works
for this relationship.

She believes in it.

Her references come from
her marriage, her history,

her future, her plans with Innocent.

And this is why I'm asking him
if he's aware that Annie loves him.

-[emotional piano music playing]
-I-I recognize where…

Where I've done wrong.
I recognize where I should…

step up my game in terms of, you know…
[chuckles] That kind of thing.

-Yeah.
-I recognize all that.

Sometimes I still slack.
But beside all of that,

it still depends on you as an adult.

You know, there are some things
that I can't even fix them.

The ultimate level of happiness
does not depend on anybody else.

It's you.

He actually created
this monster that he has today.

But how are you healing her?

I try my best. I try to… I try to,
you know, make her see life.

And then, you know, one or two

maybe small gifts…
Just upliftment of the spirit.

And then some of the big, big things
as well.

[Khanyi] I'm asking you,
between you and I,

on the day you say your vows,

say a special message for her,
in her face…

-[Innocent] Mm. Mm.
-…in front of everyone,

to acknowledge that you know that
she's stood by you through the thickest,

and-and-and put it clear that,
"Dude, it's been you for over a decade,

like, look around. Even if people
come in and out, you're in the castle."

I appreciate this-- I appreciate the clue.

[in Pidgin] But it will happen.
No problem.

[in English] You know, if you take it
the wrong way, you might get offended.

You might be like,
"Yo, it's not your business. So…

mind your business, you know."

But if you actually take it the right way,

you would actually be like,
"Yo, thanks, man. Good looking out."

I appreciate all these things you said.
For real.

-You're actually thinking of us, you know.
-Yes.

-And I appreciate that. Trust me.
-You're welcome.

Before I knew you,

I was very angry.

I was like, "The day I see him,
I'm gonna tell him that 'you are an a*s.'"

-"Listen, you are a d*ck."
-[Innocent laughing]

You know, like, "Actually, f*ck you."

"I hate you. How could you break
a woman like this? How could you…"

"She's lonely.
You don't care. It's your career…"

-[Innocent chuckles]
-But it makes sense.

I feel you. Yeah.

She's basically looking out for,
you know, her girl, Annie.

Just to warn me, say, "Yo, don't f*ck
with my girl, man." [laughing]

-[Innocent] Khanyi Mbau for president!
-Hey, hey!

[Annie and Innocent] Khanyi for president!

-Khanyi for president.
-[Innocent laughing]

-[Annie] Hey!
-Yeah!

["Vula Vala" performed by DJ Maphorisa
ft. Kabza De Small, Nokwazi & Vigro Deep]

I brought Annie to Soweto because
she's always wanted to come here.

Annie speaks from her heart.

When she's excited,
you see it in her being.

When she's sad, you see it in her eyes.

-[Annie] I really wanted to see this, mm.
-[Andile] The most famous township.

This is Nelson Mandela House.

[Annie] I couldn't have done this,
coming to Soweto, with someone else.

It's so nice that I'm doing this
with Andile.

This is amazing.

[upbeat music playing]

But I also need to speak to her
about her and Zari,

because I kind of feel like
I'm in the middle of this thing.

Because Annie's my day one,

and there's obviously
something happening with Zari right now.

You,

I don't know if I should be disgracing you
the way I want to.

-Ah!
-[Annie laughs] You went on a date.

[Andile] It wasn't a date.
It was, like, a…

-Drinks to get to know each other.
-Drinks!

Like you and I friends, or you want
to know her, know her, know her?

I don't know.

Ah! You have a crush!

-[playful music playing]
-[Annie laughing]

-Oops!
-[both laughing]

Zari is like the opposite of your spec.

[in Pidgin] Or maybe
your spec has changed?

Your spec has changed
from tri-tri-tri to ta-ta-ta!

[in English] You want to have
20 children at this point?

Oh wow!

You know how, like, the women
you have kids with, you adopt their kids?

Now maybe you have one more,
she'll have another kid for you

because I think she likes having kids.
So now one for you.

It's Diamond's baby mama.

[Andile] Don't look at it like that.

-You're mean.
-And Diamond is your friend.

[Annie laughing]

Annie's right.
It could be a little bit messy because

Zari comes with her, um, luggage.

She mentions Diamond.

It could possibly split
a very tight-knit friendship.

I heard there was
tongues mixing up somewhere.

[laughing] Oh, no, no, no, no.

-No. God!
-Oh, no, no, no.

-[Annie exclaims]
-No. No, it was just conversation.

I don't know.
I don't know what my guy's doing.

But definitely he's feeling like
the prince of Africa at this time.

I don't care. [in Pidgin] I support you.
[in English] Enjoy your life.

[in Pidgin] I'm telling you
you don't need that drama,

and you are not listening to me.

[in English] She has a man.

For me, I respect…
I respect relationships.

I respect boundaries.

She makes a good point,
and this is why I seek council with her.

My conversations with Annie
are always, um…

ones that leave me
with a lot to think about.

[thrilling music playing]

[Khanyi] Tonight is Swanky's cover reveal.

I'm so happy for Swanky.

I'm going to see this all come together.
His manifestations before him.

[Andile] I'm looking good tonight.

When you hear
you're going to Swanky's party,

the anticipation is huge!

You can't throw another party
the night Swanky throws a party,

let me tell you.

It's a great event. It looks beautiful.
Everyone looks gorgeous.

[Annie] Where's Swanky?

Where's Swanky?

[Nadia] Swanky's going to do
a serious entrance, you know.

[rousing hip-hop song playing]

♪ Ain't never gonna stop… ♪

[Swanky] The king of style
is in the building, you know,

and I am feeling like
the superstar that I am.

[guest] Swanky himself!

Swanky!

African man is in the building!

[guests cheering]

Ah, yes!

-You look amazing!
-SOS!

Swanky's one of
the best-dressed men in the world.

And you see it in him
absolutely every day.

He embodies his job.

Where's Naked DJ?

-Kayleigh?
-He's working.

-He went to DJ.
-He's working.

The whole evening, I'm getting questions,
"Where's Naked?" "Where's Naked?"

And it's a bit uncomfortable because
I don't like sharing when we're not okay.

So, it's a bit annoying
having to deal with this tonight.

-What's happening?
-He went to work.

-Are you sure?
-Yeah, he's working for real.

-He's working.
-He's on radio as we speak.

-Right.
-He's got to make that money, babe.

[Naked DJ] I couldn't be at Swanky's party

'cause Kayleigh and I
had a little bit of friction,

and I didn't want us
to be in the same spot

because our friends would
have probably seen that we're fighting.

I didn't want it to ruin Swanky's night.

[Swanky] And music!

-[woman] And tequila!
-I wanna…

-[Swanky grunting rhythmically]
-[Khanyi exclaiming]

If I were to be throwing a big party,

I really wanted the people
close to my heart to be there.

Things that you do don't go unnoticed.

Yes!

I honestly did not want Zari
to be at my unveiling party

because I didn't want
any drama at my event, you know.

-Are you guys ready to see my cover?
-[all] Yes!

-Are you guys ready to see this magic?
-[all] Yes!

-[thrilling music playing]
-[all cheering]

Wow, like, really,
this sh*t really paid off, you know.

Cheers, guys!

Cheers! Thank you so much.

[upbeat music playing]

[Nadia] I decided to give Andile a call
because he's gripping my n*pples now.

Firstly, because
he's a freaking hypocrite.

Diamond is in LA attending award shows
with the likes of Akon and Snoop Dogg,

and I'm sure he has no idea what's
going on back home with Andile and Zari.

Every time I hear your name,
it's associated with a woman or something.

-What's going on with you?
-I don't know what you heard.

-I heard a lot.
-What'd you hear?

My girl Nadia, I haven't seen her
since she went on a little trip to Mexico,

but also she missed my event.

So I'm pretty sure
this is to make up for that.

-So what are you doing with Zari?
-[tense music playing]

Whoa!

As soon as Diamond leaves the country,

Zari and Andile have been hooking up,
kissing, rubbing legs, and what and who.

Nadia's greeting lets me know
that she's been talking to some people!

[inhales through teeth]
This isn't what I thought.

So does he know that
you and Zari are kissing and sh*t?

Kiss-- What?

-Hooking up and things.
-No, there's no kissing and sh*t.

-We're just two people-- No!
-Didn't you rub her leg?

-You rubbed her leg.
-[Andile laughing]

This is you.

The village gossiper's been hard at work
because Zari and I have not shared a kiss.

Even shared one moment of passion.

Nothing. Nada.

I'm just saying, I don't like Zari.

You don't like her?

-[playful music playing]
-I think she's mad shade.

She's mad sus, best friend.

-Why?
-I don't want you with her.

Why don't you like her?

[Nadia] I become very territorial
about my friends.

I can't help it.

So when I start hearing things like that,
I just get concerned because

you're being a hypocrite with me,

but also you're jeopardizing a friendship
I thought was important to you,

yours and Diamond's.

I don't like what she did with Annie,
with the 2Face thing.

Swanky himself told me
how pissed off he was at her.

So everybody that's
just been exposed to her,

has had a dramatic situation.

I wasn't even there, but I just
don't like sus people, and she's sus.

I don't think she's…

looking at in any way
but with the glasses of her friends,

and she's got their back.

There's no objectivity
in what she's saying.

-[music becomes serious]
-I feel like everybody's against her.

And I don't mind being her solitude,
you know what I mean?

Being her… her peace.

Okay.

You know that one person, who when you
talk to, nothing else exists?

Even if it doesn't become a sexual thing,
even if it just becomes a…

A platonic thing,
a friendship thing, whatever that is.

I thought Diamond was your homie.

But I don't think so no more.

Am I breaking the bro code?

No.

Is there a thin line between where I am,

and where the bro code lies?

Yes.

Should I be making a call
to Diamond to update him?

No.

Am I getting close to the point
where I might need to do that?

Yes.

Andile, please, man,
I'm just watching out for you. Don't…

I'm gonna tell you "I told you so"
when it blows up in your face.

And it will.

Diamond's coming back.

Why's that sound like a threat?

[horns honking]

[bright music playing]

[Naked DJ] It's a bright sunny day.

I'm with my favorite person in the world,
Phiwe, my son.

At Swanky's party,
Kayleigh and I were fighting,

so I just I feel that when we just
cut communication and take a breather,

it helps.

A little bit of happiness
and a lot of peace for me.

That's very important.

Quad biking.

This is something that Phiwe really loves,
and seeing my son happy makes me happy.

-Yeah, you guys ready?
-I'm ready.

[upbeat music playing]

Naked wasn't at my party.

I'm wondering, like, what's going on?

And I want to speak to Naked
about him and Kayleigh.

I feel like they are really struggling
with their relationship.

I was pissed off at you,
'cause when I arrived at my GQ unveiling,

you were nowhere to be found.

I know. I… I apologize.

I didn't have the best of days.

For me, it's difficult to pretend
like I'm happy when I'm unhappy.

The last time I spoke to Swanky,

I did mention that I needed
a little bit of space to breathe,

because I just felt that Kayleigh and I
were suffocating each other a little bit.

I had a terrible
couple of days with-- with Kayleigh.

[Swanky] Right.

And at that particular point,
I realized that I couldn't be…

-[Swanky] In the same space.
-I couldn't.

[Kayleigh] I'm having a spa day
with Nadia. I've been stressed out.

Quinton and I are not on
the best of terms at the moment.

The last time I spoke to Quinton
was seven days ago.

I would have thought a therapy session
would mediate our issues,

or our challenges.

So, you know, who's a better person
to go to than Nadia?

Babe, what are you fighting about?

[Kayleigh sighs]

He's just being such a baby.
I don't know how to deal with it.

-Like, every time I think we're okay…
-Yeah.

…then something-- something happens.

Like, he had a gig,
and I understand that it's work,

and I'm in no way trying
to hinder his work,

or trying to get involved in his work,
or trying to tell him how he should work.

Yeah.

But, like, there's someone
that he-- he had sexual relations with.

Oh, sh*t. Okay.

Which I understand that
he's going to work with people

that he may have had
sexual relationships with.

-'Cause it's the industry. Mm-hmm.
-I can't stop that.

But all I want is that respect to tell me
that it's going to happen…

-Oh.
-…and not expect me to just…

-Find out.
-When it happens.

Quinton doesn't always take time to think
about what he's doing or what he's saying.

And I just feel
like he is disrespecting me.

But she overstepped her-- her boundaries,

'cause it was something to do
with my work.

-Wow.
-And-- And I just couldn't take it.

[Naked DJ] I don't wanna be that partner
that says,

"Kayleigh, because so and so is going
to be at this event, stay home."

Working with people
doesn't necessarily mean

I'm, you know, laying pipe.

He had the choice of choosing
who would play at his gig, right?

Oh, it's his gig!

-Exactly.
-He booked her?

He booked her for the gig.

Oh, hell no.

-[laughing] What?
-I was like, "What are you doing?"

No, that's a bit sideways.

He should have definitely told her.
If you are keeping that a secret,

essentially, it's like
you're trying to do something

you're not supposed to be doing.

And it just got to that point where

I think everything that she was saying
was just annoying me and annoying me.

And I-- I couldn't take it anymore.

So… I decided just to walk away.

Walking away doesn't solve anything, like…

Always see the situations
as just bare misunderstandings.

But that's the thing.
We can't be in the same space.

Hence, I chose to be the bigger person.

So you're always going to avoid
every space that Kayleigh would be at?

-No, I can't…
-Annie's wedding is coming.

Are you not gonna be there

because you're breathing
and Kayleigh's going to be there?

[Kayleigh] We fought the entire week.

So, we were fighting
at Swanky's GQ cover launch.

Did he leave because you were fighting,
or did he leave because he had to work?

-I don't know. I think that was an excuse.
-Really?

Yeah, I felt like
he just didn't want to be there.

That's messed up that he left you there.

There's been the silent treatment
for seven days.

And, at this point, I'm just like
I really don't actually care.

So then, where does the buck stop?

That's the thing--

Do you still wanna be
in this relationship?

["Where Do We Go From Here" by Alex
Condliffe Noah Booth & Isla Wolfe playing]

I want to feel respected.
I want to see that he respects me.

And if I'm not getting that,
like, I'm wasting my time then.

It's not working. Nadia, I'm telling you,
I literally have one chance left in me.

[upbeat music playing]

[Swanky] I have invited Zari out
for a tea.

I was so upset with Zari

that I didn't even want Zari
to be at my unveiling party.

[Zari] I'm a little bit skeptical.

Is this Swanky wanting to have lunch
with me because we know each other,

or is it more of
"You touched a Nigerian sister,

and I'm about to blow your head off"?

Annie told me about
the situation with you guys.

Oh, yeah.

And… you know, I just really
wanted to get some clarity, like…

-'Cause…
-Thank you very much.

…she told me about, you know,
what you said to her…

[tense music playing]

And for me, I just feel like,
"Is you trying to f*ck with my family?"

Stuff like that
could actually break up our friendship

or just ruin things for everybody.

Look, I said what I said…

when we had our lunch date
because she came attacking me.

She asked me questions, "Why did you
take Innocent aside? Why did you do this?"

She just went on asking questions.

She wants answers, but in the process
she doesn't even want me to say anything.

She didn't give me a chance.

She stormed out on me,
she said some nasty things,

and I said some nasty things.

Wow.

I'm just like, "Zari, you've really,
really hurt my friend, Annie,

and you've hurt me in the process."

On the day when she made
the announcement about her engagement,

you were speaking to 2Baba
and then you called her.

You told her that you wanted her
to come there because

you didn't want her to be insecure
that you were talking to 2Face.

That was very weird, you know.

[Zari] It's not that I walked
to 2Face to tell him…

[tense music continues]

"Your woman is insecure."

When I asked Innocent to come on the side,

I was just saying hi
and because I know him before Annie.

-Okay.
-And it was work-related.

Okay.

Me moving Innocent on the side
has nothing to do with their relationship.

-Right.
-It is more like, I know Innocent.

-Okay.
-I can still have a word with him.

Okay.

Whatever Annie said to Swanky was more
like, "I'm going to make myself good."

"Because at the end of the day,
this is my husband, my relationship."

"I'm gonna say what I need to say."

So Swanky doesn't really have
full information of what exactly happened.

Honestly, I was so mad at you.

I was like, "Zari said that
in front of your husband?"

I didn't say that.

I think Annie is a little bit sensitive
about what everybody says.

And in the process of being sensitive,
she's really taking it too far.

I actually had a lunch with Khanyi.

And Khanyi made me understand where

Annie is coming from
and why she feels how she feels.

So, it's like…

There's always three sides to a story.

-Right, mm.
-Your side, my side, and the truth.

I feel like this is
just a crazy misunderstanding.

Yeah, a crazy misunderstanding.
I'm willing to see Annie and apologize

and say,
"Look, I came off like this, I'm sorry."

Right. I feel like we should do that.
Should I set up something?

-Yeah, you should. [laughs]
-And I wanna be there, 'cause, like…

That would be nice.

I'm going to try my best to have
a meeting with Zari and Annie

and resolve issues.

For me, I just feel like mutual respect
should exist amongst friends, you know?

[intriguing music playing]

[therapist] It's been a few weeks
since I saw you…

[Naked DJ] Mm-hmm.

…and I'd just love to catch up with where
the two of you have been with each other.

It's actually been really good.

I mean, I did ignore her
for a couple of days.

A couple? What's a couple?
Be honest. Be open.

It wasn't a week.
It was like a couple of days.

He ignored me for-- for eight da--
Nine days.

-It wasn't nine days.
-Full nine days.

-It wasn't nine days.
-Absolutely nothing. Silent treatment.

It's not like I'm running the streets.

I'm never going to understand
why someone ignores me for seven days,

no matter how badly I've pissed them off.

[Naked DJ] A break should just mean
a break. No communication, nothing.

So, basically, for that time,
I don't exist,

and she doesn't exist as well.

Kayleigh,
what was the fight about for you?

The issue came in when it was his event,

and he invited

someone that he had sexual relations with…

to perform at the event.

Unless it's the mother of your child,

why do you still need to have
communication with this woman?

What does she bring into your life
that's so important?

An important question to ask,
with what your boundaries are.

That's my rule,
and it's been my rule since day one.

What are you doing in the relationship?

That's why I'm literally like,

I have no more, like,
chances left in me. Like…

[therapist] Where is the point you go,
"This is going on long enough"?

"I need to do something about this."

Do you have that thought?

That's actually weird.

It's when I get scared of losing her.

[scoffs] Oh, wow.

So if you ignore me for eight days,
you think,

"Okay, nine days, sh*t,
I'm gonna lose her."

[Naked DJ] No.

You could do it for one day next time
and I'm done. Like, I'm done.

So even if after a day,
you're still angry,

tough, you're gonna face your partner.

Not fix it all by yourself

and then come back
when you think it's all sorted.

[Naked DJ] I apologize.

[therapist] Are you hearing him?

[laughing] I'm hearing him
for the first time.

-Thank you.
-It's not okay.

[therapist] Good.

-Thank you.
-[therapist] Wonderful.

Thank you.

[therapist] Absolute pleasure.

[intriguing music playing]

[Swanky] The energy with Annie and Zari
at the moment is really very hectic.

I don't want things
to get to that point where

there's never a possible chance
of Annie and Zari in one space.

[Zari] My concerns about Annie

in her current, you know, situation
with her marriage stay as they are.

One person needs to
get off their high horse

and say, "Look, sh*t happened."

Everybody should move forward
and let there be peace.

-Oh, hey.
-[Swanky] Hello.

-There you are.
-[Swanky] Hi.

I'm meeting up with Zari and Annie
to finally resolve the lingering issue.

-Cheers.
-To organizing this meeting.

[chuckles] I can't function when there's…
I can't function.

-When there's two people fighting.
-Yeah. No.

[Annie] I'm sick and I'm tired
of having this Zari conversation.

Of everybody asking me what I think,
da-da-da…

I'm just sick of it.
I wanna get it out of the way.

-[Zari] Look who's here!
-[kissing]

-Hi, Zari.
-Hi, Annie, how are you?

-Very well.
-[tense music playing]

I can sense the energy.
She says, "Oh, hi, Zari."

Like, literally, "Oh, hi."
Like, "Oh, okay. You're here."

I have invited you guys here…

All right.

…obviously because of everything
that has been happening.

I really just hope
that we can just be done with this.

The fact that Zari's right there in front
of me, I feel a little bit irritated.

[Annie] Mm.

She just gets onto her phone.

Okay.

[Annie] I'm not sure I want to be here.

But I'm gonna sit.

I'm going to have some respect
for my friend, Swanky.

I just really want you guys
to leave my smile like this

because it's been really going off and on.

-[Zari] Yeah.
-And…

[Annie] Yeah, Swanky, it's cool.

It's fine. Like I said.

-It's cool.
-[Zari] Annie.

[tense music playing]

I'm sorry, all right?
Maybe things just went left.

Maybe I did things that I didn't know
or realize I was doing…

-It's okay.
-…and in the process I was hurting you.

And I don't want to go back and forth
to say what I spoke with your husband

-or what you said to me, what I said…
-It's okay.

Seems like she's trying
to explain sh*t to me.

I don't want to hear
these explanations anymore.

I just want to say I'm sorry.

Like, it came off so bad. We said
a whole lot of ugly things to each other.

I walked out on you. I'm sorry about that.

-[Zari] I just…
-Let's leave it.

-Zari, you're a big girl. Let's leave it.
-[Zari] I'm sorry.

-All right.
-I don't want to hear Zari say "your man."

[in Pidgin] No, I can't deal with that.
I don't have time to hear that nonsense.

-[in English] Accept my apology.
-[Annie] I do.

Deeply, sincerely, and faithfully.

-Truly.
-Genuinely, look at my eyes.

-[Swanky] Oh, God.
-Genuinely, from the bottom of my heart.

It is fine. And I'm sorry too.

-[Zari] I'm sorry.
-It's okay.

[Zari] Annie's apology is, um…

lame.

I'm not feeling it.

-Thank you, Annie.
-Wow.

And I got you some flowers.

[Annie exclaims]

These are for you.

You deserve them.

-They're roses, they're beautiful and…
-Oh, my God.

Just like you.

Do I think things are going to be okay?
I really don't know.

I can only hope and pray
that they are okay.

-Thanks for the flowers.
-[Zari] I hope you like them.

Thank you.

She didn't mean it.
