Technical analysis
Packing one episode so full of romantic story scenes can overwhelm an audience. This is because watching every other character set canoodle defeats the purpose of romance storylines, as a viewer may become bored or agitated rather than emotionally engaged with the characters. Overall, it seems as though the writers had screen time to fill as the more dramatic storylines have died down.
Teaser for 28 June 2018
Justin tells Vince about his new love interest. Lesedi’s future plans don’t pan out as she had hoped.
