When the long-awaited chance to direct Jamaica Road finally arrives, Kwabena faces one final obstacle - he needs Simon's help. Getting his support comes with big strings attached. Is Kwabena prepared to play the game in order to achieve his dream?

Meanwhile, a run-in with Vanessa and her new boyfriend hits Kwabena like a ton of bricks. Is it really the end for them? Maurice is blindsided when he learns that Mayowa has a girlfriend - something he knew nothing about. The revelation stings, forcing him to ask if the sacrifices he's making to fund his son's future are costing him the present.

When network executive Pippa makes a surprise visit to the set of Sin and Subterfuge, Kwabena knows it's his chance to prove he belongs in the director's chair. A flawless day could launch his career, but as one mishap spirals into another, he must rely on his charm and determination to keep the production afloat - and his dream within reach. When Maurice misses yet another nursery event for Mayowa, Funmi finds an unexpected ally in a fellow parent.

Kwabena pulls out all the stops with an elaborate date to win Vanessa back, determined to remind her of what they once shared, and as they reminisce, old feelings resurface. Are they ready to reignite their love, or is it one final near miss?

Maurice and Funmi's romantic night out falls apart when they can't find a babysitter, forcing them to improvise at home - quietly, cautiously, and with one ear on the baby monitor. Over dinner, Errol finally works up the courage to ask Grace a big question - until Claude and Polly swoop in and ruin the mood.

It's Kwabena's first day on set, and he can't believe he's working with his hero, legendary actor Rudolph Williams. Determined to support the veteran performer, his good intentions are tested by the relentless demands of the shoot. To make matters worse, Vanessa weighs heavily on his mind after their run-in brings up feelings he struggles to ignore. Maurice and Funmi are called in by the nursery after an altercation between Mayowa and another child, but they are surprised to find things aren't as they first assumed.

Kwabena's long-awaited break comes with Sin and Subterfuge, a radical colour-blind Regency drama. What at first feels like a dream project soon raises unsettling questions, and Kwabena tries to find a solution. A spark with a talented actress comes at the worst possible time when an old flame resurfaces. Meanwhile, Funmi and Maurice sharpen their airs and graces in a bid to secure Mayowa a place at the borough's top nursery.

Kwabena is desperate to get his first directing gig, but every project he comes across uses tired Black stereotypes. As pressure mounts from his family and agent, he faces a choice: take any job to get his foot in the door or hold out for a project with integrity.

Sadly, his love life isn't going much better. Kwabena hasn't moved on from his ex, Vanessa, after she moved to New York and their relationship fizzled out. When Funmi shares an unexpected update on how she's doing, old feelings resurface.
