The Kwaal heats up

Whiskey amps up the crowd as the Kwaal kicks off, hyping them for the showdown that will decide the next station manager. Will it be Tsietsi or Whiskey? Meanwhile, Keith is trapped in the station’s basement.
The stalker’s shocking reveal

Keith’s mysterious stalker finally makes her move – she’s been tracking Keith’s phone all along. Imagine the shock when she tracks it straight to… Queen’s handbag! Queen is forced to confess where they’re holding Keith.
Whiskey and Tsietsi team up

Whiskey and Tsietsi join forces to search for Keith and piece together the details of Pius’s elaborate plan to use the Kwaal as a front for moving stolen goods out of town. Whiskey admits to Tsietsi that he was forced to help Pius because Pius has TK.
