The Wild

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. Bernie has to leave her comfort zone to save the Marula Berry Cake from being a failure for another year.

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. Bernie's quest for Marula berries leads her down unexplored avenues.

Bernie ventures into the bush with Karel and makes a meaningful connection. Khumo's dodgy life-style impacts on his family and Diksie takes a stand. Itumeleng makes a deal with Tiro to guarantee that he signs the concession agreement.

The initial spark between Tiro and Lelo grows into an increasing fascination with each other - a fascination which raises eyebrows amongst the guests at the banquet and causes Itumeleng to over-react and get into a fight with Tiro. Bernie's Marula Berry Cake is presented to Kgosi Rratladi.

The pressure is building on Tristan from both Karel and Kate to ease off on his investigation of the illegal hunting. Under interrogation from Zoe, Lelo finally admits she couldn't say "Yes," to Modise's proposal because she thinks she's met someone else. Isaac Tladi reports in at Dinaledi for his first day as a ranger, and promptly puts Jack's nose out of joint.

Tristan ploughs on with his investigation, and chooses to confront Itumeleng with the evidence of the dead rhino. Lelo attempts to convince herself that Modise is really the man for her. Isaac undergoes a harsh initiation punishment for stepping on Jack's toes and finds no acceptance from his fellow rangers but he's a hit with the ladies. Itumeleng is stunned when his father collapses in his arms.
