Evangeline seeks to secure IPO for East Africa Granary Company

Things couldn't look worse for East Africa Granary Company, and Evangeline manages to secure a meeting with Gillham Bank to underwrite the IPO. Unfortunately, Cyrus suspects they’re priming the company for a takeover, and approaches the board behind Evangeline’s back. As the board starts to turn against Evangeline, Charles swoops in to ensure the IPO moves forward, no matter the cost.
Lucas finds Sinde
Meanwhile, Lucas finally tracks down Sinde, just in the nick of time to stop her from being attacked by her landlord. But with so many unanswered questions and secrets still lurking, it's anyone's guess what lies ahead for these two families. Will Sinde regain control of her father's legacy, or will she be thwarted once again? Will Sophie be reunited with her children?
And what about Cyrus and Gigi? Will they be able to move forward with their wedding plans, or will the challenges they face tear them apart? Only one thing is for sure: the lives of the L’angat families will never be the same.
