Dinaledi Lodge prepares for a banquet to celebrate the concession agreement but everyone's world is thrown into crisis when Tiro threatens to sell the land. Tristan convinces Tiro that illegal hunting is going on and that it is an inside job.

Tiro's decision to sell the land comes under pressure from both Itumeleng and his own family, and causes ructions amongst the van Reenen's. Lelo is fully expecting Modise to propose, but at the critical moment, nature gets in the way.

Diksie, seeing more sparks between Itumeleng and Bernie, believes there's a hot attraction between them. In the midst of Tristan's passion for his white lion project Kate reveals her real fears to Sarah.

The lack of privacy at the lodge corners Itumeleng into telling Bernie they can't be together, but Bernie has other ideas. After taking out his frustration on the camera trap, Jack uses it as a gauntlet to lay down another challenge to Tristan.
