Last week: Reyka continued her hunt for Speelman and the Lover’s Lane killer. Speelman delved deeper into his search for Gabriel and a way back to Scotland. Ayanda was forced to deal with the fallout of Zwelethu posting a compromising video of them online.

This week: Speelman takes to the harbour underworld as he continues his dual missions. Is there a connection between the robbery at the cobbler’s shop and the Lover’s Lane murders? Thuli’s struggles at school reach a crisis point and, acting on a tip-off, Reyka arrests a suspect at Lover’s Lane.

Watch out for: Reyka being forced to confront her history when an enforced visit to a psychologist, played by Deon Lotz, fills her with rage and fear.

Did you know? This season features over 150 actors with speaking roles – many of whom play pivotal roles in the story. It took two casting associates, a casting director, and a casting company months to fill them all with excellent actors who could lend their magic to the series. Some of this season’s prominent cameos feature several of South Africa’s greatest actors – as viewers will see in this episode.

Location to look out for: The location used for the cobbler shop scenes is actually in Krugersdorp. Authentic and original, it is one of the last of its kind in South Africa. The production team didn’t have to bring in any set dressing because the location was so authentic.
