"Keep your eyes open, and your legs closed." Those words, uttered by Bra Alex to BK in the opening of "Twin Flame", don't sound like the worst advice in the world. Her excuse of dating a cop to gather intel seemed to work, or at least it staved off Alex's immediate desire to end her life. But it failed to prevent the attack on Themba and, by extension, Leo. I did warn that "Bad Influence" had crossed a line with no return, and Episode 6 proved my point.
Fret not, Themba and Leo survive, albeit barely. Themba manages to fight back against his attackers long enough for them to flee, and he gets Leo to a hospital. However, he overheard Leo's confession about BK and Pinky being Moghel Slay, so by the time they reach the hospital, both are arrested. Shortly thereafter, Lelz, Babi, and Dunia are also taken into custody. Alex's headquarters is raided, but he has already gone into hiding. The operation is complete, leaving BK and Pinky rolling on the cell floor until they burst into tears.
Officially, Themba is off the case - for obvious reasons - but he storms into the interrogation with a proposition. BK and Pinky can snitch on Alex in exchange for their charges being dropped. Pinky is understandably hesitant about this idea, as Alex is a ruthless killer who would surely kill them both if he found out. But BK is willing to sing like a canary if it protects Leo, even if it quickly becomes clear she doesn't have anything substantial to trade. Despite his affection for her, Alex kept her at arm's length.
So what is there to do? Themba pushes for their release on bail before Alex finds out they've been arrested and sends them back out into the wild where they can be useful. Alex must approach them because he needs Moghel Slay to make enough money to keep the wolves at bay. At that point, the cops can follow the money. But there's also a risk that once he discovers Leo is in a medically induced coma due to being in Themba's car, he'll go after him. And sure enough, he does find out.
Meanwhile, in "Bad Influencer" Episode 6, Pinky turns to her former benefactor, Mandla, who hires her a high-priced lawyer whose advice is to feign ignorance and throw BK under the bus for everything. Finally, Pinky feels like a true partner in the business and is uncomfortable with this transactional relationship with Mandla. However, she also covets acceptance for who she is, and after standing up to Naomi at the cost of her own influencing career, she's starting to get that in some quarters. It makes it harder to reconcile her relationship with Mandla, especially since he immediately starts using all the favors he did her to force her into doing things she doesn't want to do.
So Pinky realizes where her loyalties lie - with BK and Leo. And it's perhaps just as well since Alex does indeed go after BK and eventually Leo. But thanks to Bheki - who it turns out wasn't killed alongside Joyce, Alex's boss - Bra Flames has found out what he has been up to and has decided he wants what he's owed. This prevents Alex from killing BK but leaves her with the potentially bigger problem of making 5 million rand in a week. It's Pinky who comes up with the solution of throwing a giant Moghel Slay influencer event to try and make the money in one fell swoop. But with Alex's goon, Kofi, watching over Leo in the hospital as an "insurance policy" for Alex and Themba not being able to secure BK, Lelz, Pinky, Babi, and Dunia the immunity they're asking for despite Brig pretending to give the go-ahead - there's simply no way this is all going to work out...is there?
