Agter Elke Man

Andries Barenhoren gets a promotion and asks Marietjie for a divorce. Steve ask Leana to marry him.

Leana approaches Anna Meyer, Albert Jooste's ex-wife, to buy her shares in Kemkor. It takes some convincing to get her to agree to the transaction, but it soon becomes clear that Leana is a master manipulator. She even uses her guiles to convince Andries Barnhoorn to sell his company's Kemkor shares, and gets Albert to make her his sole heir.

Steve presents a new manufacturing process to Andries, who recognises it as potentially revolutionary and promises to give it some thought. Leana admits to Albert that she married him for his money, and he tells her that he spent all his money to buy back the shares and that the company is on the brink of bankruptcy. Shortly afterwards, Albert has a heartattack. Anna Meyer uses Albert's demise to manipulate public opinion.

Van Breda, an old adversory of Albert Jooste, tries to exploit Albert's death to gain control of the company, but he hasn't counted on Leana's ambitions. Andries returns home unexpectedly and gets an earful from his daughter, Annemarie. Leana's plans to marry Steve are dealt a blow: according to Albert's will, the moment she remarries, everything goes to Mercia. Leana makes plans to take Steve's project forward for Kemkor, but he refuses to sell the plans to her. Stienie arrives at the office to see Leana.

The pressure from her mother and her grief over Kobus finally gets to Mercia, and when the protesters disrupt a performance, she simply walks off stage and packs her bags to go find Kobus in Israel. At the airport she meets Steve and they become friends. Wessel leaves the army and Andries and Marietjie arrive separately to take him home. Wessel realises that they've split up and walks off. Leana takes her mother some money, but Stienie refuses to take the cash and locks her out of the house. After Leana and Andries have sealed the deal on the new manufacturing process, she reveals that Steve owns the copyright to the plans and that he will have to be managing director of the new consortium. Marietjie is worried that Wessel hasn't returned home yet. Wessel goes to stay with an old army friend, Leana's brother, Jack.

Jack needs money for his bike and when he steals watches from the shop where Suzy works, Suzy's supervisor suspects her. Then Jack visits Leana's office to get money. She tells him to leave, but he assaults her and her staff and vandalises the office. Steve realises that "Karlien" is really Mercia Meyer - and Albert Jooste's daughter. He asks her to marry her.
