Wura episodes 29-32 recap: “I don’t think our marriage will survive.”
Wuraola Adeleke is out of prison, and boy, is she furious, particularly at her husband. But everyone feels her wrath in this week’s Wura episodes.

The warm embrace of her kids welcomes her. Lolu is cooking while Eve wants to make her tea, but she just wants to shower. “I have just had the worst days of my life; tea is the last thing on my mind,” she responds to Eve. “I just want to have a long warm bath, and then I can come to sit and talk to you guys. I have missed everyone.”
Her freedom comes from a diabolical plan carried out excellently by Jeje. Remember Femi’s long-lost letter? Wura told Jeje to reword it as a confession of how Femi killed Pa Kuti. The police investigation, led by Detective Kolapo, who is on Wura’s payroll, quickly agrees with the letter.
It is a bit too easy. Everyone is remorseful, like they never really believed she could commit a murder. Even Tumininu, who gathered the evidence, instantly feels sorry. Tony feels the sorriest, and Wura exploits his guilt.
“I am angry, Tony. Furious even,” she replies as he begs for forgiveness. “You hurt me, Tony. You hurt me! I don’t think I can forgive, and I will not forget. I don’t think our marriage will survive this.”
The Wura ramontada (comeback)
Tony isn’t the only one who is filled with guilt. Tumi, her mum and Labake all visit Wura to beg, and she makes them feel even worse.
“I can’t believe a good man like Olusegun raised you?” She insults Tumi. “He stood for the truth and lived with admirable principles, while you, on the other hand, are just a deceitful slut.”
Wura is playing a wicked game to stay ahead psychologically. She is guilt-tripping everyone, so when new evidence comes up, they will be hesitant to accuse her. But the intriguing thing is Jeje feels terrible about his auntie’s words; he still loves Tumi, and this also foreshadows him picking her side against Wura in the future.
Jeje’s vindication
While Wura is playing a game, Jeje is asking for deserved apologies. It is partially a game too, but he didn’t kill Pa Kuti and it was unfair how Wura’s husband and kids assumed he did. They treated him like an outsider and almost kicked him out, and like his auntie, he wants them to feel his anger.
“What about me?” he asks Tony, who has just told his kids to make their mum comfortable and happy after going through hell the past few days. The old man admits he should apologise; Jeje says he deserves more than that.
“What did I ever do to you?” he asks Tony. “I have been nothing but respectful ever since I stepped foot in this house, yet you humiliate me. You are not doing me a favour, I deserve to be here. The Mine is thriving because of me.”
Tony is still not apologetic; he just doesn’t respect the boy. Lolu and Eve are more sympathetic.
Jeje’s mum returns
Jeje can’t catch a break. He is just starting to get his groove back, and his mother, Omolara, shows up. He hates her, and we could tell why, after a few seconds with her. At a family dinner with the Adeleke’s, she goes on a crazy and profane rant – the type that embarrasses a child.
“See, the men these days, they are not like you,” she tells Tony. “All they do is wag their tails that they call manhood. I have tried them all, from Ilesha to Oyo, Ekiti to Epe. Nothing. Rubbish. But in bed?”
Jeje wishes the ground would swallow him. She then tries to be chummy with him, and he lashes out. “Where have you been all these years?” he screams at her. “No calls, no messages. Nothing. We didn’t know whether you were dead or alive, and here you are, sneezing all over the place and making cool jokes like you could just pick off where you left off.” He is traumatised, but Omolara could care less. That explains the kind of mother she was to him and provides insight into Jeje’s softness even when doing Wura’s evil bidding
