Princess on a Hill episodes 3-4: Things heat up at Lawson Group
In the last two episodes of Princess on a Hill, Zara faces rising tension, betrayal, and tough choices. With the appointment of a new CEO at the Lawson Group and a stolen kiss from one of her superiors, Ozzy, Zara is drawn further into a world of power struggles, secrets, and moral dilemmas, questioning their meaning and whether it’s just another move in the game.
Meanwhile, her close friend Menny begins to show signs that he may have feelings for her, even if he hasn’t fully realised it yet. As Zara struggles to survive in this cutthroat game, she must navigate her emotions, alliances, and the heavy consequences of her actions.
New CEO, new rules
The drama in episode 3 begins with the appointment of Mr Etim Etim as the new CEO of Lawson Group, bringing with him an air of authority and intimidation.
Meanwhile, tensions in the office escalate as Tolani accuses Zara of having an affair with Ozzy, fueling jealousy and rivalry that spills into their work process. The pressure mounts as Zara navigates her responsibilities in an office filled with competition and personal drama.

Desperate for clarity, she turns to Mr Lawson for advice. His words are as calculating as they are unsettling: “In this game, there are only allies and foes.” He encourages Zara to uncover Tolani’s weaknesses and use them to her advantage, pushing Zara further into a game she’s unsure she wants to play.

Playing the game or getting Played?
The episode takes an unexpected turn at a gala night, where Zara secretly gathers intel on the Genta deal, as instructed by Mr Lawson. Her confidence grows as she mingles with powerful stakeholders, but the night takes an unexpected turn when Ozzy demands a kiss in exchange for an earlier favour.
As episode 3 closes, Zara is left questioning her place in a world where survival seems to demand manipulation and sacrifice. What will this mean for Zara? Is Zara a player in Lawson Group’s game, or is she beginning to master it herself?
Episode 4 turns up the heat. Secrets come to light, trust is broken, and the stakes become higher than ever.

Zara's dilemma
Zara finds herself entangled in deceit and manipulation, orchestrated by the "calculating" Mr Lawson. Tasked with spying and gathering sensitive information, Zara is pushed further into compromising her values. When she’s forced to leak damaging photos of Mr Etim Etim, the fallout is immediate and devastating.
This moment shows Zara’s growing moral conflict. While she tries to keep her head above water, her actions - past and present - come back to haunt her. Her confrontation with her former boss, Mr Bello, who blames her for the ruin of his life, ends in tragedy. The weight of her choices is palpable as she watches him step into the way of an approaching vehicle.
Episodes 3 and 4 leave us wondering how much more Zara can handle before everything falls apart.
