Today’s episode is about two sisters raised by survival. One stepped in where a mother fell away, the other learned to run instead of stay. Through Amari’s emotional recollection, we observe how, through her eyes, love becomes duty, sacrifice becomes expectation, and resentment quietly takes root. This is a story about sisterhood, choice, and the kind of wounds that time alone doesn’t heal.

Welcome to Season 6

In this episode, Makena looks back at a marriage she rushed into at a very vulnerable time in her life. What seemed right on paper quickly revealed bigger differences in values, expectations, and the reasons they both chose each other. As real life set in, so did the quiet tensions that slowly reshaped their relationship.

This episode is an honest conversation about escaping, awakening, and the moment you realise love isn’t enough to hold two very different worlds together.

In this episode, we meet Gathoni (her real name, but going as Louisa in this episode), once full of promise, now caught in the quiet unravelling of a love that previously felt like home. As success shifts the balance of her marriage, admiration turns to control, and affection to fear. This is the story of a woman learning to recognize her worth again, a journey through naivety, power and the courage it takes to finally choose herself.

Valerie’s mother grew up carrying the weight of a broken and unstable childhood, a stolen innocence and wounds that never found rest. In her longing to be loved, she searched for it in all the wrong places, leaving traces of that ache in her daughter’s life.

In trying to outrun her mother’s story, Valerie found herself caught in its reflection, until grace met her where pain once lived.

A story of inherited hurt, healing, and the unexpected beauty of redemption.

In today’s episode, a young, headstrong, and rooted-in-faith Wendo steps into what she believes is the relationship she has been praying for: a love grounded in her beliefs, intentionality, and shared Christian values. What begins as romance slowly unravels into a story of control and manipulation, where religion becomes a weapon and obedience is demanded at any cost. As Wendo struggles to hold on to her faith and identity, she finds herself isolated from friends, family, and her sense of self.
