- [alarm chimes, buzzes] - [woman 1 sighs]
Milestone birthdays are a funny thing.
They make us feel the need to take stock of our lives and ask…
[groans]
"Are we happy?"
At nearly 40, I'd say my life is pretty amazing.
[camera shutter clicking]
- Thriving business… Check. - [applause]
- Fulfilling career… Check. - [laughing]
Active social life… Check.
A wonderful daughter and a supportive co-parent…
- [people cheering] - Yeah!
[woman 1] Double check.
Oh, sherbet.
[man 1] This is my daughter!
I'm here! Ow, ow.
[camera shutter clicks]
Someone to share this amazing life with…
Hmm…
[clicks tongue] Status pending.
[pensive music playing]
[engine revving]
[indistinct conversations]
[pleasant jazz music playing]
[chuckles] Thank you. Thank you so much. I'll see you later.
[sighs]
[man 2] Put this leg over here.
- I'll lift up here. - [woman 2] No!
- [car horn honks] - Ow! My knees!
[man 2] Wait. Move your leg around.
- [woman2] I can't move. - You played netball!
- [woman] My knees. - Come around--
[woman 2] Give me a second. Wait.
I can't do this. This is--
- [man 2] Okay, okay. Wait. - I can't. Sorry.
[woman 2 sighs]
[scoffs]
You started it.
Yeah, now I'm late.
- Just-- - Relax. We have time.
We have time.
Just give me a ten-minute head start, okay?
See you inside.
[woman 2 grunts]
[mellow jazz music playing]
- Oh, stop it. You look amazing. - [groans]
Here you go.
Come on, drink.
[clinks]
Darling, champagne should be sipped for its aroma, taste and perlage,
not guzzled like diesel. [chuckles]
Oh, uh, Mom, this is Tumi. She's, uh, organizing my birthday party.
Ah, the event planner.
[Tumi chuckles]
Well, I would prefer "Luxury Event Architect," and friend.
[journalist] Leo! Over here! Leo!
- Oh, um… - [Tumi] Who's arriving? The president?
[woman 1 chuckles] No, it's just, uh, Leo.
New and improved.
[mother] Well, Leo has certainly come a long way.
[Tumi] Mm.
[inhales] It's, uh, seeds I planted three months ago.
I proposed a solo exhibition.
I don't see anyone hanging off of Leo's arm.
- [man 2] Excuse me, ladies. - [woman 1] Oh.
You must be the Princess.
Ude.
Sabelo Ude.
[chuckling] Oh! Sabelo? Of cou-- Of course.
Sabelo, Tumi's plus one. It's, uh, lovely to meet you.
Um, didn't she tell you I'm, uh, more than just a plus one?
[Princess] No.
Oh, um… [inhales sharply]
If you'll excuse me, I think Leo's drowning.
Uh, I like your plus one.
I think I like her too.
[journalist] So, Leo, when can we expect to see your next exhibition?
[Princess chuckles] Um, you can expect to find
Leo's next series of work here at this very gallery.
Uh, but nothing's confirmed yet.
It'll be a solo exhibition,
and we'll be launching it here in three weeks.
[journalist] What's the theme?
[Leo] Um…
[chuckles]
Well, listen, all I can say is that, uh, it's all new work,
and it's inspired by and about the woman that saved my life. My muse.
[mellow music plays]
[man 3 in Zulu] What a lovely event.
See you again soon. Have a beautiful evening.
[in English] Thanks.
[in Zulu] See you.
[in English] Wow.
Tonight was a triumph, my dear.
- Next up, your birthday party. - [chuckles]
Yes.
- You do want a party? - Oh, Mom, please.
Well, good night, ladies.
Leo, good night. Thank you for coming.
- Kiss Thandi for me. Tell her I love her. - Yeah, I know she knows.
Mom, it was good to see you.
For once, I can honestly say the same, Leo.
- Kiss my grandbaby goodnight for me. - I will.
- Bye. - Bye.
[sighs] Ladies, how about a late dinner?
Ma, I've got some fabulous party ideas I want to show you. It's going to be epic.
Uh, what about, uh, Sabelo?
[sighs] He'll be fine. Shall I call a cab?
Hm? Yeah.
Okay, let's go.
[mellow jazz music playing]
It's going to be the birthday bash of the decade.
[Princess] Tumi has pulled out all the stops.
It's stunning, right?
[mother] I was thinking something more intimate.
You know, like Zaza's 35th birthday at my place.
Oh, no. Princess wanted grandeur.
I've gotten to know Princess well over the last 18 months.
It's just-- It's party jitters. [chuckles]
- Life begins at 40. Cheers. - [Tumi ] Oh… Oh…
- I'll drink to that. - [Princess] Cheers.
[Tumi chuckles]
Actually, I'll get us some more champers. We've got lots to celebrate.
[suspenseful music playing]
[melancholy music plays]
[mother] So, I was thinking of redecorating my bathroom.
Some blue and green mosaic tiles.
[melancholy music continues]
[sighs]

[music ends]
Hello?
Leo!
Thandi?
- [Leo] Hey. - Oh!
- You're here early. - Hi.
[gasps]
- Is this the final piece? - No looky, no touchy, okay?
That's for my eyes only.
Fine. But I don't think you need it. This is enough.
It's incomplete, Princess. The exhibition needs the centerpiece.
My muse, uh, brings it all together.
Okay, it's fine. It's fine. We'll do it your way.
[chuckles] Who are you? What'd you do to the mother of my child?
[both chuckle]
Are you two arguing again?
- [both] No! - [Thandi giggles]
- [Leo] Come downstairs. - Okay.
- Hi! - Hey.
Hi, hello. Please get your stuff so we can go.
[Thandi] Okay.
- Do you need help? - [Thandi] No, I'm good.
- [Leo] Okay. Love you. - [Thandi] Love you.
- [Leo] Bye, my angel. - [Thandi] Bye!
- So… - So?
…it's my birthday this weekend.
I'm having a party, and as luck would have it, I…
[breathes deeply]
I don't have a plus one,
so I was thinking that maybe you could, you know, just, um,
- help me with that. - [Leo chuckles]
- Oh, okay. - [sighs]
It's giving, um, extra.
Yes, thank you. You sound like my mother. Okay, just let me know. I've got to go.
- It's giving too big. - Thank you! Just let me know.
- [Leo] Dirty 40! - Whatever.
[pensive music plays]
[music fades]
Are you wearing lipstick?
What's our rule about wearing makeup?
"No makeup until I'm old enough."
[Princess] Mm.
I know your father enjoys coloring outside of the lines,
but this is too much.
I didn't get it from him.
Then where did you get it?
[tense music playing]
I found it one day in his bathroom.
I don't know who left it there.
[car horn honking]
[sighs]
No way! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Aunty Tumi.
- Mom, look! My favorite K-pop band. - [Tumi] Mm!
[chuckling]
It's their first time in South Africa, so you see,
your new favorite aunty has connections.
[chuckling]
Aw.
Who are you going to take with you?
If I go with Mom and Dad,
- we can be a real family for just one day. - [coughs]
- [clears throat] - I'm going to call Coco!
Okay, my love.
[chuckles]
- [Princess] Oh! - Mm-hmm.
Thank you, Aunty Tumi.
She's been pestering me about those tickets for months.
- It's my absolute pleasure. - [chuckles]
[inhales deeply]
I'm surprised she doesn't want to go with Leo and his new girlfriend.
- His what? - [sighs, clicks tongue]
I just found out from Thandi. She's already wearing her lipstick.
Did he even get permission from you to introduce them?
To be honest, I don't know how it happened,
but how else do you explain a lipstick in a bachelor's bathroom?
[Tumi] Mm.
Someone's clearly marking their territory.
- Yeah. - Sober or not, Leo's a scumbag.
And here you are busy cleaning him up, giving him his career back,
and some chick thinks she can just come and reap the rewards of your hard work.
Ridiculous.
- [pensive music playing] - [muttering]
[sighs]
Living one day at a time.
Accepting hardship as a pathway.
[exhales deeply]
[canvas thuds]
Fuck.
- Come on, man! - [Princess] Leo!
- Hey. - [Leo] Hey.
[music fading]
Uh, did Thandi forget her diary again?
Uh, no, no.
Where is she?
She's at a sleepover at Zaza's.
Oh.
What's up?
I'm kind of…
I, um… I just wanted to ask about the RSVP for my birthday.
- Oh, Princess-- - I know. I know I'm being pushy.
But…
I think my answer is going to be no, Princess.
Oh.
Do you mind if I ask why?
Because I don't think that it's right to give Thandi the wrong impression.
She'll think we're back together again.
Yeah.
[tense music plays]
I guess that explains the lipstick.
Lipstick? What are you talking about?
Your girlfriend's lipstick that Thandi was wearing.
How could you just bring some strange woman around my child
without even speaking to me--
- They haven't even met yet. - Ah.
- I was waiting for the right moment. - The right moment?
- This is why you've been so distracted. - Distracted?
After all that time and money and effort that I've put into this.
- I didn't ask for all of this. - Yeah, but I had to do it, right?
Someone has to do it, so you could be a present father to our child.
I'm done, man. [clicks tongue]
Run. That's so typical.
[Leo scoffs]
You know,
it's funny how you've crowned yourself the model of happiness.
[sighs]
You can't boss me around anymore, Princess.
You don't own me.
Get a life.
Hmm? And try to live it.
[Leo clicks tongue]
[music fades]
[Tumi chuckles]
- [Sabelo] Fruit? - [Tumi] Mm-hmm.
- Some bubbles. - [Tumi] Mm.
Nice.
[romantic music playing]
Wait, do you-- do you ever just want to, I don't know, just talk?
No.
That's what my therapist is for.
[both chuckle]
How is your big 40 party planning going?
- Rebirth Day, you mean. - Rebirth Day.
Rebirth Day because I spent way too much money
on that invitation logo for you to forget.
An invitation I'm still so eagerly waiting to receive.
Princess already knows that you are my plus one.
Like, why don't we just make it official?
I mean, I may be Princess' friend, but this party is still my job.
I can't make her day about you.
Okay. How about we meet my family?
It's been almost a year,
and you still haven't met my best friend or my sister.
- Okay, wait. Compromise? - [sighs]
Lunch with my sister tomorrow? You'll absolutely love her--
Oh my goodness. What time is it?
Oh my goodness. I completely forgot.
I… I have a virtual meeting. I'm sorry. You'll have to go.
- At 10:00 pm? - It's only 4:00 p.m. in New York.
Then I'll wait.
For three hours? [chuckles]
Look, Sabelo, um, just see yourself out, okay?
I have to get dressed.
["Memeza" by Blaq Diamond plays]
[Tumi sighs]
Enjoy your meeting.
[sighs]
[Tumi] Listen, sweetie, this is a 40th birthday party
for a very sophisticated woman, okay?
So I don't want any ice sculptures. So let's just leave that out for now.
[door closes]
Okay, thanks.
- Oh, hey. - Hi.
[Tumi] Coffee?
[sighs]
I need some time away.
Okay, no problem. I'll handle the final sign-off here.
Just don't forget to send me your RSVP list.
No, you're not hearing me.
The party is off.
Excuse me?
I need to be alone, now. Right now.
I'm going to spend some time at my mom's new holiday house.
I'm sorry. I-- I just…
I have to go.
Okay, Princess, surely we can talk about this.
Princess!
Well, what happened?
[door opens]
[song ends]
["Oko" by Zonke playing]
[sighs]
[men talking indistinctly]
[Princess] Where were you when I met Leo?
[whimsical music plays]
Ah, let me go.
- Oh, shit! - [horn honking]
[crashes]
What the fuck?
Fuck, man!
Oh, shit!
Shit, shit, shit, shit.
What is wrong with you?
Wrong with me? What the hell is wrong with you?
- Why were you indicating? - There's a guy with a red flag up!
- You were turning! - Turning to where?!
I'm sorry, is this roadworthy?
It's… a vintage. A classic. But like you would know.
Does the classic have insurance?
Oh my God.
Do you know what it took
to get these chickens to lay high-quality eggs in this heat?!
Sorry, have you seen my car?
- Your car? - Excuse me.
- [man sighs] - [camera shutter clicking]
Joburgers, man.
- Unbelievable! - Shit.
But let's care about the eggs. High-quality brown eggs.
[sighs]
[groans]
- [sighs] Okay. - [door opens]
[Sabelo] Babes!
- [door closes] - Babes! I came as fast as I could.
[Tumi in Zulu] My love…
- [in English] I need a huge favor, please. - What's up?
The party venue has to change.
Could you please drive me so I can work on the way?
It's a bit of a trip.
- In return, lunch with my sister tomorrow. - Sabs, come on.
This is a crisis. I can't afford to be distracted right now.
I don't want my friend to spend her birthday alone, so,
please just help me with this.
- Anything you need, babes. - [in English and Zulu] Thanks, my love.
- [in English] But you are looking fly! - Thank you. You are so sweet.
Hi, sweetie. Yes, okay, so here's the plan.
[Thandi] Me and Coco built a fort.
We made cookies, and we even watched a movie.
But I miss you so much, Mommy.
[Princess] Oh, my baby. I miss you too.
I'm so happy you're having a good time with Coco.
- I hope you're behaving yourself. - Of course I am.
[chuckles] I'll see you when I get back, my darling.
I love you.
Okay. Love you, Mommy. Bye.
Bye.
[sighs]
[Sabelo] This weekend should be fun.
[woman] I'm really excited to finally meet the famous Tumi.
Are you sure she's okay with me tagging along?
Don't tell me you haven't told her.
[in Xhosa] Relax, man.
I told her we should meet with you.
- [in English] Relax. - Okay.
[Sabelo] Um…
Tumi, Nelly. Nelly, Tumi.
This is my sister.
I told him not to ambush you, but he never listens. [chuckles]
She's coming with us.
O-- Okay.
[chuckles uncertainly]
Nelly, lovely meeting you.
- You look gorgeous, by the way. - Thank you.
Can you just give us a second?
- Just a moment. - Okay, okay.
[phone ringing]
Sabelo, this is a business trip, not a family meeting.
[man] Hey, Nelly-Jelly! What's popping?
- [grunts rhythmically] - Tony, how many times have I told you?
[in Xhosa] Don't call me when you're in the strip club.
[in English] No, I'm just chilling in Sun City with the boys.
Where are you? It looks like a large mall or something.
Mm-mm! Who is that goddess with Sabelo?
His new girl. We're supposed to go to some party out of town or something.
Wait, wait. Without me?
[chuckles] Hey, wait.
- Since when do I get left out? - Maybe it was a secret?
Send me a pin drop. I'm joining you to check her out.
Launch Operation Rescue Our Brother.
Now.
[call ended]
[in Tswana and English] I'm working, Sabelo. I asked you a favor,
now you bring people along?
[in English] All right. [chuckles] Tumi, it was nice ambushing you. Um…
Maybe in the future we can meet properly, like adults.
You didn't ambush anyone. Relax.
[Nelly] I can get a cab.
[Sabelo] You're going nowhere. You're coming with us.
[softly] Come on.
Okay, fine.
[hopeful music plays]
- [sighs] Can we go, please? - [Sabelo] Road trip!
[pleasant music playing]
[sighs]
[sighs] Okay.
[music fades]
[doorbell rings]
[amusing music plays]
[both] You!
Princess?
Yes?
I'm your birthday chef.
What?
Excuse you!
Birthday chef?
[woman] Miss Princess, hi!
We're here for the recce for the birthday party.
Come on, guys, let's get to work.
So good to meet you.
[car engine revs]
[car horn honks]
What is that?
What is going on?
["Sidlukotini" by Ricky Rick plays]
[glass shatters]
[Princess] Excuse me?
Hello, hi.
Who are you?
Tony. And you are?
Fifster!
[chuckles] What's up, babe?
Yeah, yeah. Just arrived. Where you at?
Come through, my dear. All right. Cool, cool. Yeah.
- [water splashes] - Ah!
Yes!
[upbeat music plays]
Sorry, could--
[people talking indistinctly]
Uh, sorry, sorry, please don't touch. Can you just put that down.
That's okay. Thank you. What is happening?
Excuse-- Excuse me!
Uh, sorry! Sorry, um…
[music ends]
[metal rasping]
Who gave you permission to be in here?
- [bell dings] - Head of Catering!
Yes, I'm talking to you. Who gave you permission to be in here?
[man] My client did. Maybe go shout at her?
[amusing music playing]
Hmm.
[line ringing]
Hi. You've reached Tumi Modise.
- [groans] - I'm not available right now,
but please leave your name--
Oh, uh…
Um…
[door closes]
- [whispering] Who was that? - Uh…
Ew.
[chuckles softly]
I don't know.
[door opens]
[Tumi] Surprise!
Tumi, what is going on?
There are-- There are strangers right now upstairs, doing it in my bed.
This place is like a damn circus.
[Tumi] Okay, I am responsible for the circus.
But this is a special birthday, and I won't let you shut everyone out.
Come on, cheer up. Mm?
Oh!
- Hi. - Hi.
Mawethu.
- Canapés, anyone? - [Tumi] Uh…
- [gasps] - No?
Sub-Zero!
[Tony] Nelly-Jelly!
Sabza, hey!
[Fifi] Come, come, come, come! Mm!
- Uh, next time, don't be so shy, Auntie. - Ugh!
- [Fifi] Mm! [sighs] - What took you guys so long?
[Fifi] Sabs, you're still looking so good.
- My goodness! - [Sabelo] Good to see you.
Hi. Hi.
- Hello. - Hello.
[Fifi chuckles]
- Fifi? - [Princess] Mm-hmm.
Okay. [chuckles incredulously]
No. No. No.
- Oh, Princess, wait. - [Nelly] Uh-uh.
[Sabelo] Tony, what are you doing here?
Come on. What's going on here, Tony?
- [Nelly] Morning, Sabs. - [Sabelo] What are you doing here? Just--
I'll have some of that.
- [chuckles] - [music ends]
[Tony chuckles]
[Sabelo] Tony, what are you even doing here?
Well, we… You're here.
- [in Afrikaans] Sorry. - [in Xhosa] You have a big mouth.
[in English] We check our partners out.
I also couldn't help but notice that Fifi's happy to see you.
That's some ancient shit. Relax.
Not for me it ain't.
She still knows how to work the royal jewels.
- [groans] My balls are drained. - [chuckles]
- I don't even want to know. No. No. - [Sabelo] Come.
Dude, on the real, I'm… worried?
You know, if this Tumi is like another--
Another what?
Club Paradise.
- You're talking about old shit, dawg. - All right.
Okay.
- Good to see you, Tony! How are you, dawg? - Hey! Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[chuckling] Good.
[thunder rumbling]
[sighs]
- The real reason why I left Joburg-- - I know why you left Joburg.
But you didn't need to worry about anything, okay?
What I have planned for you is going to be magnificent, trust me.
- All your guests have already decided-- - Tumi, please, just stop.
It's not that.
- I just… - [thunder rumbling]
I don't feel like myself.
[gentle music playing]
I know I'm supposed to be happy.
But I'm not.
I'm tired of pretending.
So, I would just like some time on my own…
[sighs] …to… to think.
[doorbell rings]
Oh, come on. Who's that?
- I have no idea. - Ugh. Oh, please, man.
- [Tumi groans] - [sighs]
[Tumi] Okay, wait for me.
[Princess sighs]
[clapping] It's my man. Baby!
You invited her man?
I don't know who this--
[Leo] Oh! Ah!
- Baby, come here! - [Leo] Oh!
- [Nelly] Mm! - [Leo] My love!
It's so good to see you, my baby.
[Nelly] Mm.
- [Nelly moaning softly] - [kissing continues]
[Nelly] Oh, you smell so good. Mm.
[Leo] Mm.
- Princess? - What the hell are you doing here?
- What are you doing here? - This is my mother's house, Leo.
Wait, this is Thandi's mom?
[amusing music plays]
I don't understand. Why would you invite him here?
I would never! I-- I don't even know her like that.
[in Tswana] You, Leo?
- [in English] What are you-- - I invited Leo.
So, you know my daughter?
I haven't met your daughter. I didn't know you were that Princess.
- Oh! - She did not say that Princess!
- What the hell's that supposed to mean? - Guys, let's calm down--
- [Princess] Oh, just shut up, Leo! - Yo!
Now I get why you didn't want to go to her party.
- [gasps] - Wow.
- No, no, no. Prin-- Princess-- - [Princess] Nice! Nice!
Babe-- Prin--
That's your baby mamma?
[in Zulu] Wow! It's going down here.
[music ends]
[in English] Oh, shit.
[thunder rumbling]
Uh, Princess.
Okay, can you just calm down?
I feel like you're making a lot of hasty decisions and…
[sighs]
- Okay, so… - [wardrobe door closes]
Is Leo the reason you wanted to bail out on your own party?
[Princess] Ugh!
[objects clatter]
Tumi, tomorrow, I would like you and your band of merry little men
to get out of my mom's house.
Okay, your mother gave us permission to be here.
I don't give a shit who gave you permission! Just get out!
[sighs]
Princess.
[tense music playing]
Be reasonable!
Guys, um, we may as well get comfortable.
The bridge is closed, so it looks like we're stuck here for the night.
- [Tumi] Princess. - [Princess] Ow.
Princess!
Come on! Princess!
This weekend, hmm…
[clicks tongue] …content fest!
- Seriously? - What?
- Princess, please. Please don't go. - Please don't.
Oh, come on. You can't drive in the middle of the night in this rain.
Oh, Tumi, just--
- [thunder crashes] - [both scream]
[Princess] Shit!
- Just leave it, okay? Just leave it! - I'm helping you.
[Princess groans]
[gentle music plays]
- [thunder rumbling] - [music continues]
[Tony sighs]
Right, so no party.
[scoffs]
- What an anti-climax. - Aw, can you just relax?
It is late,
and the roads are probably flooded, so no one's going anywhere.
I'm going to check on Princess.
[gentle music plays]
[sighs]
[knock on door]
[Tumi] Princess?
Please, come on.
Come on, don't be silly.
I'm sure you never imagined you'd ever be meeting me like this, hey?
That would assume I'd thought of that already.
[Sabelo] Hmm.
Listen, Sabelo, Nelly and I haven't been dating for a long time,
but… I'm really into her.
You know that I'm her only living family, right?
Yeah, I know.
She's been through a lot, and Tony and I will do anything to protect her.
You have to come through the two of us
if you don't want this weekend to be the last time you see her.
[thunder rumbles]
[gentle music plays]
- [Tumi in Tswana] So, your name's Fifi? - [Fifi] Mm-hmm.
[in English] So, how did you meet Sabs?
We've set this town on fire a few times.
- [chuckles] - I mean, I gather you make a habit…
[in English and Tswana] …out of hanging around your elders, basically.
[in English] Oh, you took it there?
[gasps in indignation]
[Nelly] Sabs cares about her.
Seems nice.
Well, black widow spiders seem nice.
You know, before they liquify and eat their mates.
Oh, my gosh.
[Fifi] Let me tell you about Sabs and this friend of mine, Nomatreasure,
the biggest baddie that got dickmatized by Sabs.
[in Sotho] If she knew he was in town…
[in English] …oh my gosh, she would freak--
What are you ladies, um, gossiping about?
Oh, nothing. Just Fifi catching me up on your friend.
- [in Tswana] It's Nomatreasure? - [in English] Yes.
She's, um-- She's not my friend.
[Fifi chuckles]
[Mawethu] Dinner's ready. This way, ladies and gents.
Listen, baby, this trip was a bad idea.
- I just want to-- - Then let's leave tomorrow.
- Leave tomorrow? - Mm.
Okay.
[pleasant music playing]
- [thunder rumbling] - [music continues]
[music fades]
[clanks]
Shh…
[grunts]
- [Mawethu clears throat] - Shit.
Hey.
- Hi. [clears throat] - Can I warm you up some soup?
Yeah. Um…
[gentle music playing]
I'm guessing this isn't the weekend you had planned, huh?
No.
Maybe the universe brought the party to you for a reason.
What reason would that be?
[grunts]
I don't know.
Maybe it's conspiring to force you to face whatever it is you ran from.
I didn't want a party, that's all.
I see.
What do you want?
Well, I mean, the soup, obviously.
Mm.
[Mawethu] Sometimes, running isn't an option.
- You can't outrun yourself. - Hmm.
Speaking from experience?
I was living my dream in London.
Michelin-star restaurant as a head chef, amazing apartment…
I thought I had everything I ever wanted, but I knew something was missing.
So, I gave it all up and came here. What's life without happiness?
Yeah.
- More wine? [chuckles] - Yes, please.
There you are, ma'am.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
[music continues]
[amusing music playing]
[phone chimes]
Hey, Fifsters.
I see that you guys are totally obsessing over my #JoziTourist thread.
Are we, like, trending?
[chuckles]
Let me tell you. Last night, I exposed one of--
[music stops]
- Fifi. - Yep?
You absolutely did me a dirty last night.
Why? What did I do?
You spoke to Tumi about Nomatreasure. Nomatreasure's in my past, girl.
[music resumes]
Oh, you like her, don't you?
- You do! Aw, Sub-Zero! - [grunts]
[Fifi laughs]
- [music ends] - [Sabelo] That's cold, girl. Come on.
[whispers] There's your girl.
[Sabelo] Tumi.
Are you angry about Nomatreasure?
[chuckles] Now, why would a grown man who'd still date slay queens make me mad?
It's not like we're not in a relationship.
You are angry.
[chuckles softly]
Sabs, come on. Let's be honest. What we have here is a… situationship.
Situa--
Don't overthink it, remember?
Have fun.
[pensive music plays]
[Fifi] Mm?
[Fifi chuckling]
[music ends]
[exhales]
[Tumi] May I?
Oh, yeah.
- [phone alarm ringing] - [phone chimes]
Princess, I'm sorry.
We were just trying to give you a little nudge.
Look, I know I shouldn't just have dumped everything on you like that, but…
I just really needed to be alone.
I don't get it though. I mean, you are literally on a winning streak right now.
This party will be the ultimate celebration for you to enter your 40s.
- And you know what? You deserve it. - [sighs]
Look, fine. Okay, can--
Can we do something simple? Just like a simple dinner, okay?
I just-- I can't face a big party right now.
Okay.
We can do that.
[gentle music plays]
[Leo] Thank you.
[Sabelo] That looks good.
- [Nelly] Thank you. - [Tumi] Tony.
Hey, thank you.
- Ginger tea for the nausea, Ms. Nelly. - Thank you so much.
- [in Xhosa] What's wrong? - [in English] I just have a tummy ache.
- Oh, look at these cuties! - [music fades]
If I'm not as hot as you when I'm an aunty,
I'll be so mad.
[chuckling] Oh, my word.
- Um… - [Tumi clears throat]
Anyway, I'd just, um, like to say something if you don't mind.
Last night was--
Interesting.
I was going to say overwhelming.
I came here to be alone, and then…
Well, then all of you arrived.
It's my birthday weekend,
and I would still like to celebrate it on my own terms.
But… you're all more than welcome to stay.
Yeah. I think we can make the most of the weekend.
Let's just have fun and end it off with a nice celebratory dinner.
That sounds perfect.
So, who's staying?
[Tumi] Oh, count me in, right? Count us in. Sabs, right?
- I'm staying. - [Tony] I was never leaving.
Not since I've discovered your mom's cellar.
- Ah. - Also, Tums, we need to do something fun.
Well, I… I may have a few suggestions.
- [Fifi] Yay! - Let's eat up.
[Fifi] Yes!
Finally!
["Stimela" by 2Point1 plays]
[woman] Whoo!
[men and women cheering and laughing]
Whoo! [laughs]
Whoo!
[cheering and laughter continues]
[camera shutter clicks]
Hey.
Mind if I…
[camera shutter clicks]
[Leo sighs]
Listen, sorry for crashing your weekend.
Really?
I mean, if I knew Nelly had invited me
to your mom's mansion, I wouldn't have shown up.
Nelly, huh?
Yeah.
I don't know. She seems… you know, young, so…
You're so judgmental for someone who's already giving it up
for a guy she just met.
Hey, love.
Well, that didn't go so well.
[in Xhosa and English] My love, you tried.
- [in English] Don't let her ruin our fun. - Okay.
- You can get to know T and Sabs. - Yay!
Okay, find inspiration for your last piece, yeah?
Yeah, that one.
I am so happy this party is happening.
[in English and Zulu] All thanks to you, my love.
[in English] She thinks it's a dinner, but I'm going ahead with the party.
The moment she hears us all yell, "Surprise!",
Princess will have no choice but to have fun.
A situationship?
That's what she said.
[exclaims]
[Fifi] Mm!
- [sucks teeth] - [chuckles]
That was lots of fun. What's next?
I was thinking massages?
No, no, no, no, no, no. Mm-mm.
The boys are coming with me. Sabs, you have a visa, bruv.
- Let's go. Eh? Huh? Yeah. - Oh.
- Have fun. - Yeah.
- Let's go. - We're going to bond. Come!
- [Nelly] We're bonding? - Yes! [laughs]
[Sabelo] Dude!
[men laughing]
[intriguing music sting]
- Isn't this cute? - I love that.
Let me see the other one. That one.
[Tumi] Mm!
Have fun.
- [Leo] Bye, babes. - [Nelly] Bye, baby.
[Leo] I love you.
- Um, is the lady-- - [Nelly] Mm-hmm.
- Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me. - Oh.
Mantwa! Girl, we're on the way.
[chuckles]
Yeah, okay.
[exciting pop music plays]
- [grunts] - Wait, gents, wait, wait.
- Heart emojis for a situationship? - It's not a situationship.
[scoffs] Look, if a chick tells you what lane she wants to be in,
keep her there.
Have you told her how you feel?
Feel? Like feelings?
Yeah.
Yeah, man. Every time I try to open up, she shuts down like a clam, man.
- I don't know what it is. - She's made you a situationship.
Bruv, you need to get this girl out of your system, I swear.
[Leo] What really works for Nelly and I
is that we always tell each other the truth.
So, just talk to her, man.
Fifi is annoying, but I'm not phased by her.
Yet here you are complaining about her.
Who's complaining?
I'm just saying, maybe it's time to be honest about your feelings.
I see the way you look at him, okay? You want more. Why not?
- No idea what you're talking about. - You deserve to be loved.
We all do, even if that love comes in the form of a love back.
Excuse me, ma'am?
Mm! It's just something Leo said.
He got so upset because he thought I got cozy with--
[Mawethu] Excuse me.
Enjoy, ladies.
Thank you.
[Tumi] Thanks, Chef.
So?
- Did you bond with the hot chef? - Oh, stop it. No.
- [laughs] - I didn't bond with the hot chef.
We were talking, and he's a normal, decent guy.
- That's all. - Decent in what way? Like--
[Nelly] Ladies.
- Hi. - So, Nelly, I had no idea it was you.
That you were the one seeing the father of my child.
- [amusing music playing] - It's still new.
So are you ready to be a mother?
[chokes, clears throat]
You know that Thandi is an important part of Leo's life.
Leo can't stop talking about her. He lights up every time.
Aw. That is cute. At least you know he'll be great with your own kids.
Oh, I don't want kids. I mean--
Well, luckily no one is expecting you to mother Thandi
because, well, I'm here.
I'm part of the package. Leo and I are intertwined.
- [clears throat] Excuse me. - [Princess] Mm.
[Tumi] Okay.
- What was that about? - Oh, who cares?
No, I'm talking about you, girl. "Leo and I are intertwined?"
Tumi, please. You don't get to judge me, okay?
It's just that I don't want to see you get hurt again, especially not by a man.
Think about it. I came here to be alone.
And then who just shows up out of the blue?
If that is not a sign from the universe, then I don't know what is.
- Now I'm officially worried about you. - No, don't worry about me, okay?
Worry about Fifi in her Lycra tights and her big… everything.
- Worry about that. - Yeah, I know what you mean.
I heard you the first time.
[amusing music continues]
[Tumi] Mm.
[music ends]
[Princess] What?
[mellow music playing over stereo]
[Tumi] Ah. [chuckles]
Well, this is lovely.
[Princess chuckles]
[Tumi] Hey.
Hey.
Where are the others?
Well, uh, they spoke about paradise, uh,
a visa and ziplining.
- Hey, I don't know. - Do you want to go look for them?
I need a drink.
[Leo] Hey.
- You okay? - [Nelly] Yeah, I'm good.
[Leo] Come, sit.
I was worried that my brothers would scare you off.
Tony's been trying his heart out, but, you know, that's what it is.
Being grilled by the family already. [chuckles softly]
- Babe, I just-- - Guess what? Guess who's trending?
Leo Moyo.
- What? - [Princess chuckles]
RSVPs are rolling in. People are already asking about prices.
- Leo, I told you. - Um…
The world is ready for you.
[chuckling] Okay. Thank you, Princess.
[chuckles]
[Leo and Princess conversing indistinctly]
- [Leo and Princess chuckle] - Um…
May I borrow your car keys?
Uh, yep.
Be right back.
- Are you okay? - I'm fine.
Hey, hey, watch the jewels, man.
- [phone chimes] - Couples ziplining. [chuckles]
I won't lie, guys. I am a bit scared.
Oh, no. Not to worry, Fifi. You're in good hands.
[amusing music playing]
Uh, brother, can you not-- Can you unhook me, please?
[in Zulu and Tswana] No, my love. Go with Fifi.
[in English] I'll find my own person to zipline with.
- Oh, hello. - All right. Ever done this before?
No, I haven't, but I am very ticklish. [chuckles]
[man] Well, couples ziplining is about trust.
Um, buddy, can you just unhook me quickly? Just--
You hold on to each other, and you never let go.
- So, uh, put your hands on me like so. - [Tumi] Okay.
[in Xhosa] No.
[in English] Hey, hands off my woman. Relax! Hey, relax, relax.
Okay. "My woman"?
[in Xhosa] Look here.
[in English] I don't want a visa. I don't want to give you a visa either.
[in Tswana and English] But I thought--
- [in English] I will. - [Tumi] Mm.
[upbeat music plays]
[yelling, whooping]
[laughs]
[men yelling and laughing]
This is so beautiful!
[screams happily]
[Tony] Yeah, okay, okay. Get a room.
- Oh, please. Don't be jealous. - [Sabelo] Don't be jealous.
- [Fifi] You've got us, Tons. - [Tony] Hey.
- [Tumi chuckles] - You are so beautiful.
- You are everything. - Aw.
I love being around you.
Every time I'm with you, it's absolutely amazing.
[Tumi chuckles]
I love you.
[tense music plays]
Um… [clears throat]
[Sabelo sighs]
I need the loo.
[softly] Fuck.
[sucks teeth]
That didn't go well.
[Princess sighs]
[music becomes gentle]
He said the "L" word.
Just blurted it out.
Oh.
[hesitantly] What did you say?
I ran away.
- Tumi! - I panicked.
You know this whole joke online
about your Limpopo man going away for the long weekend?
- [chuckles] Because he's getting married? - Yeah.
That was me.
Oh.
[Tumi] He wanted to have babies with me.
Let's find a new doctor and find out what's wrong with you.
With me?
[inhales]
Now she's living my life. [chuckles]
[inhales]
[exhales]
And you know, he-- he said the "L" word all the time.
What if Sabelo wants this life with you?
Until he finds out that I'm not wife material,
then he dumps me for a Fifi?
You can't base all your decisions on fear.
- You and Sabelo could have something. - Mm-mm.
Sabelo will just have to accept that we'll never be more than casual.
You're sure about that?
Yes.
You do know that women also get surprised by the "L" word?
Mm-mm! Okay, he didn't mean this, okay?
It was just the adrenaline rush. Right, bruv?
Maybe you're right, man. I need to accept this for what it is, this situationship.
Like, I can't let a slip-up of a word complicate things.
My boy, yes! That's it. Look.
Was it really just a slip?
Sabs, I honestly feel like that version of you is dead and gone.
What version?
Sabs, do you love Tumi?
[in Tswana and English] Okay, why don't you make a list?
One side, you write all the reasons why you and Tumi should be in a relationship.
[in English] And on the other side, why you should keep it casual.
Wait, Fifi. Did you just give me some silly idea
from some woman magazine article? Really?
[in Tswana] Honestly?
[in English] Like, you're kidding me.
- [laughing] It's hilarious. - [phone ringing]
Whatever, guys.
[in Sotho] My sister…
[Nelly coughing]
[in English] I'll be back.
[Nelly continues coughing]
[Nelly vomiting]
[coughing]
Siri,
how long does morning sickness last?
[Siri] I found this on the web.
[gentle music playing]
Oh, hey. Everything is set for tonight's dinner,
so I'm just stepping out. Is it okay?
Oh, hey, can I come with you? I just-- I need to get out of here for a bit.
Yeah, of course.
Thanks. Lead the way.
Okay.
[pleasant music plays]
- Hello, Mama! - [woman] Hello!
- [Princess chuckles] You kidnapping me? - This is the local community center.
I sometimes help out here. I promise you're gonna like it.
[Princess] You are full of surprises.
[Princess chuckles softly]
[pleasant music playing]
[Princess] Wow.
So… what happened earlier?
Your universe is playing games with me.
I thought if I could just figure out this one part of my life,
everything else would fall into place.
Instead, everything is slipping out of my hands.
What is?
[mellow music playing over stereo]
[amusing music plays]
Shouldn't we find out what's making you so sick, babe?
I'll be fine.
Are you sure?
I don't like seeing you like this.
[Leo and Nelly kissing]
- [Princess] Where's Tumi and Sabelo? - I thought they were with you guys.
- [panting] - [Tony] Oh, here's Sabs.
[Sabelo] Hey.
- I thought you would leave without me. - [Princess] Hey, where's Tumi?
- She's not here? - [Princess] No.
Let me give her a call.
- [Tumi] Hello! - Oh!
- Who's that? - [Nelly] Hi.
[intriguing music plays]
[Tumi] Hello.
Gang, meet RJ.
RJ, this is my gang.
Hey.
- Hi. - Hey, RJ. What's up?
[Leo chuckles]
[Tony] It's zipline guy! Yo!
[chuckles]
Let's get this party started. Yeah?
Okay.
- [Tony] Sabs, you coming? - Yeah, I'm coming.

Ladies and gentlemen, here we have the grilled sea bass,
stuffed with cocktail tomatoes, lemon, garlic, and mushrooms.
- Please do enjoy. - Thank you.
- [all] Thank you. - Thanks, Chef.
[Leo] Looks good, huh.
I am this close to breaking the world record for jumps.
- [Tumi] Oh, the world record, huh? - [RJ] Indeed.
Oh, I can tell. Muscles and all.
- [chuckles] - Well…
[woman clears throat]
[pensive music plays]
Bruv, why are you stressing this?
- Get off my back, Tony. - [sighs]
[clears throat]
Listen, babe, let's not keep things from each other.
Okay.
[Leo] What's the biggest football competition in the world?
- [Tumi] FIFA - [Sabelo] PSL.
- World Cup. - That's right, but say the whole thing.
The FIFA World Cup.
Yes. Okay, next, snap, crackle, and pop!
[sputtering] Thanos!
- [laughing] - [Leo] That's not crackle and pop!
- No. Come on! Snap, crackle and pop? - Time!
Wow, time.
- [Tony] Time. - [Tumi] Wow.
Rice Krispies.
Whatever, guys.
[Mawethu] Some bone broth for Nelly. This should settle your stomach.
- Thank you so much. - [Tumi] Bone broth?
- Oh, yeah. Nels doesn't like seafood. - [phone shutter clicks]
Wait, not even oysters?
You do know they're an aphrodisiac?
What the fuck-- Why the fuck are you here?
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! - [all talking excitedly]
Okay, wow. Um, okay. Let's get back to the game.
- [Tony] Yeah. - [Princess] Uh…
- Your honey is a… - Pomeranian?
Yes! Okay, good.
[chuckling] Oh, I think Nelly might get this one. Uh…
[Tumi] Uh…
- Pregnant? - Oh, yes! Well done!
[women laughing]
Why would Nelly get that one?
- [Tumi] Wait-- - That's so silly.
- Ah-ah, wait. - [Princess] Okay, hold on. Next part.
Uh, you feel ill early in the day, but actually, it can last the whole day.
A headache? Headache? Headache?
- No! She was doing it all day, remember? - [Tumi] Um…
[imitates groaning]
Oh, yeah! Um, morning sickness!
Yes! Well done. [laughs]
- Well done! - [Tumi cheers, laughs]
[laughter fades awkwardly]
Are you pregnant?
Yeah, are you pregnant?
[whispers] Princess?
Ooh.
Oh, sorry. I thought you knew.
- Leo, can we-- - Just tell me.
Nelly doesn't want kids.
Babe, I've been asking you and asking you, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
- What's wrong is Princess-- - This has nothing to do with her.
[tense music plays]
You keeping this from me because you don't want to have our child?
[Nelly] Leo! Leo, wait. Let me explain.
- Wait, please. - Come on, man.
Leo… Leo…
- Did I not ask you to talk to me? - Leo, please, let me explain.
- How long have you been hiding this? - What? Stay out of this. Damn it!
- Have you not done enough? - [Princess] I was trying to protect you.
[Leo] What happened to honesty?
Leo…
- Are you happy with yourself? - I'm not the one who was lying here.
- I'm not the one with the secret. - A secret that was not yours to tell.
[Princess] Hmm…
You know who the biggest loser will be if Leo relapses?
Mm?
Your daughter.
[somber music plays]
[sucks teeth]
[sobbing]
[Sabelo in Xhosa] I'm sorry.
[Nelly continues sobbing]
I'm sorry, sister.
[in Sotho] What is it, bro?
Woman problems?
[sighs]
[Leo sighs]
- [in English] Not interested. - [phone vibrates]
[phone chiming]
Hey, it's Leo. Sorry I can't get to the phone right now,
but please leave your name and number and I'll call you back.
[softly] Fuck.
[in Zulu] Baby…
[in English] You okay?
- [sighs] - [in Zulu] Why didn't you tell us?
[in English] I just found out last night. I was just--
I was trying to wrap my head around everything.
And now you have baby mamma drama.
Thanks.
[mellow music playing over stereo]
What happened today was out of hand.
It wasn't my place to blurt out your business like that.
- But I don't want you to relapse-- - You don't think much of me, do you?
No matter how hard I try to be a better man, a better father.
That is not true.
Look, things weren't supposed to go like this, okay?
I thought it was like a sign, you know?
A sign?
[sighs]
Princess, we've worked so hard
to get to this place where we're great co-parents.
Why would you even want to sabotage that?
- Please forgive me, okay? - This isn't about you.
Okay, I'll make it up to Nelly, I promise.
- [sighs] - Leo, please.
[sucks teeth]
- Please. - [sucks teeth]
You know what? I'm not gonna do the exhibition, Princess.
- No, no, no, no, no! Let's-- - I'm done.
- Leo, please-- - I'm done!
[somber music plays]
[Fifi] Refill?
What's up, girl?
[Fifi chuckles]
Sure.
Oh…
Hey.
You smell like a brewery.
Yeah, I was really tempted.
[chuckles softly]
But I didn't.
[music becomes gentle]
- Princess arrived and then-- - Get out, Leo.
- Get out. - Wait.
We need to talk, baby.
You had a drink with Princess after what she did,
and you want me to sit and talk to you?
- Nelly, it wasn't a date! - I don't care! Go to her.
- Nelly? - [in Zulu] Get out!
[Princess in English] I'm a terrible person.
- No man is worth the drama, trust me. - Mm.
It's just… I felt like I was running out of time, you know?
For this… big, imaginary life I was supposed to be living.
I looked up, there was Leo, and he…
He was like everything I knew he could be.
Except it had nothing to do with me.
- I should be happy though, right? - Mm.
You've literally got everything going for you at the moment.
Yeah, but a magazine cover and some awards won't keep you warm at night.
- You don't need a man to keep you warm. - Yes, I know that, Tumi.
But I want companionship.
You've got friends. You've got Thandi.
Do you know what a blessing that is?
I'm not the only one who should be counting her blessings.
- Why would you taunt Sabelo with that guy? - [scoffs]
Please. He brought it on himself.
- Tumi, come on. - Mm.
Oh, I need a refill.
[Fifi humming]
[mischievous music plays]
[phone chimes]
Hey, Fifters.
Yes, I am still at the mansion.
Oh my gosh, we have new followers. Hi, guys. Welcome. Welcome.
So, I know that most of you are dying for an update about yesterday's drama.
- [door closes] - [music stops]
Morning.
Morning, Fifi.
What?
Sabs, you need to talk to Tumi.
Because it's obvious that…
[in Tswana] …you love her.
- [sighs] - [in English] If you don't…
[in Tswana] …you'll regret it.
[music resumes]
[music ends]

[groans] Jeez.
- [sucks teeth] - Oof!
- [sighs] - [groans] Oh, shit.
[sighs deeply]
- Happy 40th birthday. - Mm-mm.
- [sighs] - [groans]
[music stops]
So, um…
[sighs]
I didn't cancel the party.
Ugh.
Tumi!
What do you mean, you didn't cancel the party?
Just-- Just see it as a gift from me to you, okay?
It's not even about the business anymore.
It's about our friendship.
Come on, let us celebrate you.
Please.
Okay.
[hopeful music plays]
We can do the party.
Okay.
- So, you're not mad at me? - [sucks teeth]
How can I be mad at you?
You went to all this effort to show me that no matter what happens,
this is still a moment worth celebrating.
Thank you.
- You're welcome. - Hmm.
[Princess clears throat]
Hi.
The party is back on, and…
I would like for you to stay and celebrate with us.
[music fades]
Why the fuck would I want to stay for your party?
- You shouldn't have said anything. - I know.
[inhales sharply] Fuck.
[in Tswana] Leave the box in the corner there.
[in English] Then you can start with the decorations, hanging everything.
Thank you.
Oh, finally. Just find a spot and set up.
[people talking indistinctly]
[Princess] Mm, mm, mm.
Look, he's still here, right?
So it must mean he wants to work things out with you.
[sighs] Have you fixed things with Leo and Nelly?
I'm working on it.
Okay.
That's good.
Yeah, I thought this would be a chance for a break, you know?
[breathes deeply]
[in English and Tswana] A bit of inspiration.
- [in English] It's, uh-- - [man] Look, I'm here anytime you need me.
Hey, man. Uh, can I call you back?
Sure. Remember, sobriety brings freedom.
Thank you, bro.
- [gentle music playing] - [phone beeps]
Look, can I ask you for one favor?
Just come with me.
No drama. Just come with me, please.
[exhales deeply]
Lead the way.
[gentle music continues]
[music fades]
[Leo] Wow.
Such raw talent.
Yeah. I'm thinking of, um… taking some of these for the gallery.
What? You don't think it's a good idea?
Princess, what are we doing here?
I just wanted to bring you somewhere for a little inspiration
so you can finish--
- No, I'm not doing the exhibition anymore! - Leo, please!
You don't have to work with me. You can work with someone else.
No, that's not what I want, okay?
Just don't cut off your nose to spite your face, please.
I haven't finished the last piece yet.
That's fine.
There's time.
No, my mind is blank. The piece is blank.
I really can't.
[man] Leo Moyo. Hey!
[chuckles]
[in Tswana] I'm a big fan of your work.
Please may I ask you to sit with us?
- [in English] Please. - [in Tswana] Oh! You're so beautiful.
[in English] Can you model for us?
- Please! - [students] Yes, please.
[all cheering]
- No! - [man] Please!
- Yes, she can! Yes, yes! - No! No, no, no!
[Tumi] Chef is waiting for that. Take it to the kitchen.
- Okay. - Thanks.
You're leaving?
Never should have come here.
Oh, wow. Just as I was getting to know you better.
Is Leo not coming?
Uh, I can't face Leo right now.
Sabs, you're also leaving?
[in Sotho] Hmm! It looks like the party's going to be lit.
- [in English] Pity you won't be here. - [sarcastic] Ah, so sad.
Thanks for having us.
Thanks.
Sabelo!
[somber music plays]
[music fades]
[in Tswana] Then all of this here, you can fill it up.
[music resumes]
[in English] Wow, that's, um… That's beautiful.
Happy birthday, Princess.
[man chuckles]
- [Princess chuckles] Thank you. - [man] Wow.
- [man chuckles] - [sighs]
Hey!
Sabelo and his crew left.
Left, as in gone?
- Yeah. - [Leo] Shit, man.
What the hell?
I don't understand. What happened?
After last night?
There's nothing I could've done to make them stay.
[gentle music continues]
[Tony] Sabs, you good?
I'm cool, man. I'm cool.
Do you have any, um, edibles?
You don't need that.
Sabs, I could give you edibles to numb the pain, but for how long?
Clearly this woman has gotten under your skin more than I realized,
and… you can't drug that away.
- You have to confront her. - [Sabelo scoffs]
Avoiding issues is how we ended up at Club Paradise.
- Come on, Tony. - [Nelly] Tony's right.
- You have to do this, Sabs. - Yeah.
If you don't do it now, you'll regret it for the rest of your life.

- [Princess] Oh, well, hello. - [Tumi] Welcome.
How are you? So good to see you.
- Good. Please have a drink. - The gift table is over there.
Love it when it comes together.
[mother sighs]
- Wow! Look at you. - Happy birthday, darling.
- Oh, thanks, Mom. - Mm.
So, how was the weekend?
- [Tumi] Wonderful. - Good.
- Wonderful. - [mother] Mm.
Nelly! Nelly, answer your phone, man.
Leo's here.
Yeah. Um…
[Princess clears throat]
Drink. Um, I'm going to get you a drink.
- Oh, I should… go with you. - Be right back.
[mother] What's Leo doing here?
Hey, this is Nelly.
- Please leave a message. - [Tumi laughs]
Hey, cheers!
[cheers, laughs]
- [camera shutter clicks] - Oh…
Oh!
[laughs]
You know, if you had just apologized to Sabelo,
you wouldn't be here dancing by yourself, drowning your sorrows.
Me? I have to apologize?
That man owes me an apology.
An apology for what?
- For loving you? - You don't know what you're talking about.
- Fine. I'm just saying. - Let's dance. It's your 40th! Come on!
- Whoo! - [chuckles]
Okay, I'll be right back.
[Tumi chuckles]
- Good to see you. - Good to see you.
- [sighs] - [Leo] Hey, birthday girl.
Was she harassing you?
No, she wasn't.
Ah.
Still haven't heard from Nelly?
She was the-- the muse you were talking about.
Yeah.
The woman who "pulled you out of the abyss"?
That's the one.
And now, she's not even picking up my calls.
[chuckles dryly]
I'm out of here, Princess.
[gentle music plays]

[door opens]
- [whispering] Hey. - Oh, hi.
[door closes]
Princess…

I just…
I think the party was a bad idea.
I ruined the weekend for everyone.

Okay. Off we get.
Ooh! Okay. Oh, you okay?
[whispering] Yeah, I'm fine. I have to tell you something.
Okay, okay, okay, okay, me too. Or not.
Okay, can I just say?
I mean, I just…
I'm tired of hearing about you and Leo all the time.
"Leo, Leo…" Like, you need to stop the delusion now.
- Like, the guy's moved on. - Delusion?
Okay, Princess, Sabelo's here.
[Princess] Mm.
What should I do?

So, as you can see,
everything around you was really, really carefully crafted by me,
but, uh, after everything, it seems my…
my efforts have gone unnoticed.
[people murmuring]
But, hey, let's propose a toast. Hmm?
So, to all of you
who have come all this way for your friend.
Why?
Because that's what friends do, right?
Well…
- [glass clinks] - …unlike some people. [chuckles]
[chuckling] Okay. Well, I mean, I didn't really ask for any of this, but hey.
Not even a thank you, Princess? "Thank you for my beautiful party?"
"Thank you., thank you…"
Thank you, Tumi. That was really classy. Thanks.
- No, no. Do you know what's classy? - [Princess] Mm?
What's classy is you running after Leo all the time.
Tumi!
Excuse me? What are you doing? What are you doing here?
- Relax. You're-- - [Tumi] Don't tell me to relax. What?
[Sabelo] You're drunk.
- Relax. - [laughs] I'm drunk?!
[in Tswana] You're protecting your side chick?
- Hey, Granny. Who's a side chick? - I'm not your granny!
[in English] Come on, Tumi. Relax!
[in Tswana] Sister, no!
- [in English] Wait-- - Out!
Tumi!
- You're ruining the party! - I'm ruining the party?
I am not surprised that that man threw himself at that ghetto mermaid--
- Ghetto mermaid! - Your party is ghetto!
[in Tswana] And I saw you, Sabelo.
- [in English] I saw. You cheated on me. - [Princess] When?
When you spend all your time stalking your ex online?
Scrolling through his pictures over and over again.
- You know, more like-- - Princess?
[Princess] Oh!
[people gasp]

Hey.

[clears throat]
[Tony chuckles]
I'm trying to find Sabelo. Has anyone seen him?
Tony, there you are. Get Sabs so we can get out of here.
He's not with you?
His phone's off.
[Princess] Maybe he went home. I…
- Oh, no. - [tense music plays]
- [Nelly] Tony? - What?
After Tumi's little cake fights, he left and he took the edibles.
The whole pack.
Is this Club Paradise again?
[Sabelo] Tony!
- Hey, hey, Tony! - [dance music playing]
Tell her I love her.
[Tony] Mm-hmm.
- Sabs! Sabs! - [Sabelo laughing]
I'm going to confront her.
Sabs! Sabs! Sabs!
[car crashes]
Fuck.
- Fuck! - [Tumi] What is going on?
- [intriguing music plays] - Tony!
Tony?
- Do you see him? - No.
Have you seen this guy?
- No. Who is he? - No.
Uh-uh, I don't know him.
I've never seen him.
- No? - No, sir.
Okay, I'm going to make some calls.
[line ringing]
Hello, uh, Fifi.
Any word on Sabelo?
[Fifi] A guest said they saw him heading into the bush towards the river.
We're going there now.
[Tumi] Sabelo!
Sabelo!
[Tony] Sabelo!
[Nelly] Yeah.
- Tons! Why are you walking so fast? - Hey, Fifi. Keep up, okay? Look.
[tense music playing]
What if something happened to him?
[music becomes gentle]
[Tony] Sabelo!
Bruv!
- Hey, man. - Hey!
What happened?
[Tony] Can you stand?
[Leo] Come on.
[all grunting]
Easy.
[Sabelo grunting]
I was too high to find the direction, and I got lost in the dark.
I thought I heard a lion, and…
I ran into the cave and hid there.
I lost my phone in the fucking process.
Okay, you know what I think you need?
- A nice warm bath and a good meal. - [all] Yeah.
Do you want to know something? I'm over this.
Okay, come. I'll--
[Tony] Easy, easy, easy, easy.
[Leo] Just lead the way. All right.
[Tony] Bruv, come on.
I really wish I was there when you came back last night.
[exhales slowly]
Babes,
listen.
I just want to say, I didn't walk off because I don't want to have a baby.
- [sucks teeth] - Okay?
But I'll respect whatever decision you decide to make.
Leo, I'm scared.
Hey. Hey.
You know about my parents, and you and I are recovering addicts.
What if history repeats itself?
Babes, we're stronger than this.
It's one day at a time. Remember that.
I'm stronger today because I have you in my life.
I'm willing to take a chance on you…
[in sing-song] …if you're willing to take a chance on me.
[chuckles] Oh, gosh.
[both] Mwah.
[gentle music plays]
- [Nelly] I love you. - I love you too.
[music continues]
[Leo clears throat] You all right?
You and I will be fine, right?
[softly] Yeah.
[music fades]
How about you and Nelly, are you okay?
Yeah. We'll be fine.
[Princess sighs]
[melancholy music plays]
He wants nothing to do with me.
[softly] Tumi.
- I really messed this one up. - [sighs]
- [Princess] Hey. - Move over.
[Princess] Uh, look, I have a favor that I need to ask you.
I… I want us to help Sabelo and Tumi work things out.
If I can't get that right, then I am not the friend she deserves.
Uh, I have a small plan.
Hey.
What's up?
[Princess sighs]
Ready to go?
Yep.
So, I… I need your help with something in the cellar.
Your friend has locked herself in the cellar and is drowning her sorrows.
- Okay, lead the way. - Thanks.
Okay, fine.
[intriguing music plays]
I'll check on her.
- It's in the back. It's the like-- - What is it?
- It's the small little box in the back. - This is bullshit.
What the-- Princess! What are you-- Pri--
[sighs]
Okay, also, why is this door locked anyway?
- I don't know. She's-- - Why would you lock--
Um…
Tony! Tony! Tony!
[music climaxes, ends]
- Open this door! - [Sabelo] Tumi, you're wasting your time.
They did this deliberately.
- [Tumi] I guess they want us to talk. - I have nothing to say to you.
- Fine. I'm sorry I've put you in a box-- - I don't want your fake apology.
Apologies need change of behavior consistently.
I have never felt pain like when I did when my marriage fell apart.
[tense music playing]
I promised myself that I would never put myself through that again.
So…
[music becomes hopeful]
- I didn't want to fall for you. - You know I've been cheated on.
And I would never do that to anyone.
When you went missing, I…
All I kept thinking about was you had to be okay.
I don't want to live without you.
I love you, Sabelo.
- There's something I need to tell you. - Tumi…
[gentle music plays]
On the upside, our plan is really working.
- Really? - So there's that. Yes.
- [chuckles] - Okay.
Oh, you guys have to see what Fifi has been posting about us.
What?
Apparently, we're in a-- a throuple.
- Look, I got her to delete it. - [Princess and Nelly] Really?
- [Tony] Yes. - [Leo] Are you sure?
- [Tony in Xhosa] Must be nice. - [Princess in English] Hello, friend.
[Sabelo] Tumi, there's something I want to ask you.
- [groans in pain] - [Tony] Ooh.
- [Tumi] Um… - [Sabelo] You've been through a lot.
I love you.
Will you… Will you marry me?
[chuckles softly]
Yes.
[all laughing and cheering]
- Yes! - That's what's up!
[all cheering]
Yay!
- [Tony] My boy! - [Princess] Yes!
Oh, wow!
- Hey, girlfriend. - [Tony] Oh!
[Thandi] So when are you guys coming back? Did you save me cake?
Cake? What are you talking about? I ate all the cake!
[gasps] No.
[Leo] Listen, Daddy's girl,
what you and I need to figure out is what we're gonna wear,
you know, for my exhibition opening.
- You know what that means? Shopping! - Shopping!
Okay, my love. We have to go. We'll see you soon. Love you.
- Mm! Bye, baby. Bye. - [Leo] Mwah. Love you.
[Princess chuckles]
You always have the biggest smile after talking to your daughter. So cute!
- Thank you, love. - So, uh, I was thinking.
Thandi has these tickets to go see her favorite K-pop band in a few weeks,
and I was wondering if you and Leo would like to go with her.
It would be a good time for you to meet her, spend some time with her.
Really?
Yeah, I mean, she's about to be a big sister.
I'd love to meet her.
Great.
Thank you, Princess.
- Who is that? - The real Princess.
- Did you clone her? Oh my gosh! - The real princess in the building!
[Princess] I can't believe I'm saying this,
but thank you for gatecrashing my birthday weekend.
You are seriously thanking me for all of that drama.
Well, to be fair, I did have a little something to do with it.
[sucks teeth]
Princess, I, uh…
I'm really sorry. I just…
I got so caught up in planning this party because…
I just wasn't ready to… deal with my own stuff.
You know, a wise old lady once said,
"Life is messy,
but it's getting through that mess that makes us human," you know?
- My life is enough. - Yeah.
I am enough.
[Mawethu] Ladies.
Everything is back on its place, so I'm on my way.
I didn't get a chance to bring this out the other night, so…
[Tumi] Thank you, Chef.
[Mawethu] Have a safe trip.
[Princess] Yeah. [clears throat]
[Tumi] So…
I heard a little secret.
[scoffs] Oh, dear. What is it?
[Tumi chuckles]
- Life begins at 40. - [laughs]
[both laughing]
Cheers.
- [Princess sighs] - [chuckles]
Hold that thought.
I'll be right back.
Okay. Where are you going?
[Princess] Like you said, life begins at 40.
