Second Family Season 2 episodes 29-32 recap: Ending the year on a dramatic note

While the world counted down to the new year, the Gatehi family, led by Leo, was in the middle of some serious drama. Here's a recap of what went down in Second Family during the festive season.

A spy among us

Sweetness, pretending to be a housecleaner at the Gatehi mansion, isn't just dusting shelves. She's snooping around Evangeline's closet, texting Leo as if she's Sinde, and stirring things up between Joel and Shei. But her most dangerous game is eavesdropping on Leo's talks, learning all about The Syndicate.
