The River: Lindiwe has finally met her match in Emma

Emma has come to show Lindiwe that two can play that game.

It’s no secret that Lindiwe will do absolutely anything to protect her family. We’ve seen in the past that she’s even gone as far as killing people, all in the name of getting what she wants. While she is a very smart woman who tends to get her way, this time, however, it looks like she has met her match.

When she came back to her home after being away for a while, she discovered that a lot had changed. The mining mogul was shocked to find that Zolani had not only met a new woman, but he was also planning to marry her. A lot can happen in one week, right? As much as Zolani claims to love Emma, Lindiwe is convinced that she’s not who she claims to be.

Lindiwe plans to destroy Emma

At first, she commanded Emma to leave her house but Zweli and the rest of the family didn’t think that this would be a good idea. The fake doctor did a really good job of making them fall in love with her. When chasing Emma out of her mansion didn’t work, Lindiwe came up with another plan. She told Tshabalala to dig up anything that he could find about her new daughter-in-law so that she could get the upper hand.

As expected, the corrupt cop discovered that Emma had been lying about being a doctor. He told Lindiwe and she was very excited about the news. She pretended as if she was cool with Emma, knowing very well that she was planning to expose her in front of everyone.

However, just as she was about to have her moment during a family dinner, Tshabalala walked in and wanted to speak to Lindiwe urgently. He told her that Emma was indeed a real doctor. “I ran a check on Emma, she’s qualified. I checked with the Medical Council and she’s registered,” he told her.

Lindiwe was obviously disappointed as she didn’t see this one coming. But this didn’t stop her from wanting to discredit Emma, and she came up with another plan.

During a conversation with Flora, she was reminded about Flora’s allergy to prawns and this inspired her to cook something up. Her idea was to make her famous French soup, add some prawns and ask Flora to stay for dinner.

Lindiwe’s plan backfires

She wanted to put Emma on the spot and prove that she was a fake doctor. Lindiwe’s moment to shine finally came and while the family was enjoying her delicious food, Flora started having an allergic reaction. She was coughing and then ran out of breath. Just as everyone was trying to figure out what had happened, Flora collapsed.

Lindiwe asked Emma to help because she’s a doctor. The newly engaged con artist panicked and for a while it looked like the truth would finally come out. But it turned out that Emma had learned a few tricks from the streets and she used those to bring Flora back to life – and it worked!

Flora is lifeless on the floor and Lindiwe will not do anything.
