As if that's not bad enough, an aflatoxin outbreak forces the closure of several East Africa Granaries Company plants, causing the company to lose millions. The government demands that all East Africa Granaries Company products are removed from shelves, further exacerbating the crisis. It's a disaster, but Evangeline isn't one to give up without a fight. She pulls some strings and secures a meeting with the CS to fix the mess.

Meanwhile, Sinde discovers her father's fraud and fires Katherine. Gigi and Kevin get engaged, while Shei secretly tests her siblings' DNA to determine if Sinde is really their father's daughter. But when the DNA results come back, it's not what anyone expected.
