An outbreak causing company to lose millions

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.
Evangeline gets injured

Evangeline throws a party in honor of Sinde, but things quickly spiral out of control. Cyrus drinks too much and causes a scene, while Bett accuses Sinde of losing her morals.
Then, in a shocking turn of events, Evangeline stumbles downstairs with a torn dress and bloodied face. What happened upstairs with the CS? And how will this impact the Gatehi and Lang'at families?
To find out, catch the next episode of Second Family, now streaming on Showmax.
