Wura episodes 41-44 recap: "We are going to steal Wura Adeleke's gold."

Wonders will never end in Wura. Olumide Kuti, who hates Wura Adeleke passionately, calls her to propose a business plan. But that’s what happens when you’re desperate. He is gathering information about the gold they are trying to steal from her mine. But he and Percy aren’t the only ones trying to fleece Ms Adeleke.

Omolara has unlocked a new level in her scheming. After the accident damages her car, Wura demands Omolara leave her house when she returns from the hospital.  

During breakfast the following day, she complains her insurance company has refused to pay for damages because Omolara drove without a driver's license. Jeje begs that they move on from the matter.  

“Move on what?” She asks him angrily. “Sixteen million! Have you counted that much in your entire life? No, answer me. Have you seen it before?”  

Jeje quietly exists the room – the insults were becoming unbearable. He visits his auntie later to beg, but Wura is adamant that she wants his mum gone. She tells him this isn’t about the car or the accident but that Omolara is bad news. “I don’t like to see you get hurt. I can’t pretend watching you play with fire,” she tells him.  

Omolara blackmails Wura 

Jeje delivers his auntie’s message. He is eager to take his mum out, but Omolara doesn’t want to leave. She likes this proximity to wealth and comfort. Wura visits her to enforce the eviction. She has confirmed Omolara isn’t sick, so she is confident.  

Omolara blackmailing Wura

“I know your lies about the cancer,” she says. “I spoke to the doctor. He ran some tests and confirmed that you’re lying.” 

Wura then informs her a taxi is waiting outside, but Omolara has a new trick up her sleeve. It is her best one yet. “I am not going anywhere,” she says assertively. “I know what you did, and I know what you made my son do.” 

She plays a recording of Wura talking about Pa Kuti’s murder. Wura looks distraught. She didn’t see this coming. However, Omolara isn’t done. She torments Wura, demanding an ATM card with no limits, or she runs her mouth. Wura concedes, then plots her revenge. 

Jeje visits Tumi 

“My car was making a little squeaky noise, and I was wondering if you could help me check it out,” Jeje says to Tumi. She asks if he came all the way just to check his car. He later confesses his true intentions; it is not about the vehicle, he misses her. 

Jeje and Tumi in Wura Season 1

“Was it all a show?” he confronts her as they work on his perfectly healthy car. “Did you have any feelings for me or were you just pretending?” 

Tumi says it was more complicated than that, and that her actions were clouded by grief. He inquires if they could still be something. She is receptive. Her mum watches through the window. When Tumi comes in, Iyabo asks if she likes him. She says she feels sorry for him but then agrees to a date. 

Biggie joins the gold heist 

Mide is angry at Percy. He paces around the room, complaining that Biggie knows where his family lives. “He can’t do anything…” Percy tries to dismiss his feelings and fear, but Mide won’t have it.  

Biggie in Wura Season 1

“If you finish that statement, I will beat you. I will hit you badly,” he threatens. 

Percy apologises. Then Biggie calls Mide and asks if his partner is nearby. When Mide confirms, he asks them to meet him. 

“If I wanted to kill you both, you would have been in the morgue since,” Biggie tells them before explaining he is all about opportunities and wants to join their heist. “You said you needed guns for a big job, so tell me the kind of job you want to do. I want to partner with you.” 

They are hesitant, so he cocks his gun, and they start cooperating. “We are going to steal Wura Adeleke’s gold,” Mide says. Biggie is super excited and asks if they have a buyer. Percy confirms they do. 

“Look, I have become a partner already,” an excited Biggie tells them. “I will give you everything you need, but we will share it. I will take fifty per cent when you are paid, and you two will share the rest. Deal or no deal?” 

With a gun to their faces, they agree to the deal!
