Just Act Normal
Episode 4 of Blood & Water Season 4 begins with Thandeka and Puleng telling Grootboom to investigate the sex tape leak. Chris and KB act dodgy in front of Wendy as they still don’t have enough money to pay off Ruff Beats. KB tells Chris to come clean and he reveals he didn’t get money from his parents. He gets hurt when Wendy judges him for it. She then notices Tahira being suspicious with Pauline and Co. She also overhears some people buying exam papers from someone.
Asanda is cold with Wade whenever she is around her friends. Grootboom asks Tahira to give a pep talk to the school about honesty and she feels guilty. She tears off the cheat notes she’s made. She struggles with the first exam and later Wendy confesses that she will tell Grootboom that someone is selling exam papers. Tahira is not happy about it and tells her to back off.
PoolBoy keeps texting Puleng that he didn’t leak the tape and that she should look closer. He also knows it is Fikile who keeps trying to comfort her. Elsewhere, Thandeka and Anthony almost kiss as they argue about parenting.
Puleng lashes out by beating up Leigh-Anne and is sent to therapy. PoolBoy enjoys it as he tells her that the culprit isn’t Leigh-Anne either. Asanda tries to talk to Wade but she keeps asking him to keep their relationship a secret which hurts him. He untags and unlikes Asanda’s Instagram.
Puleng asks around and learns that Gregory is a former swim captain and in 2019, Damian almost drowned. They say he was drinking but Wendy knew he never drank. She tries to tell her theory to Fiks that Damian must be PoolBoy but she pretends not to know any of it. Puleng and Wade look into the photo negatives and Asanda joins them. As she tries to talk to him, they find a team photo – it has Gregory, Fiks and Damian.
Wendy tells Grootboom about the papers. All the students get scared and get their money back from Chris who could only amass 200k. Ruff Boots is not happy and kidnaps them. Grootboom fires his secretary and tells Tahira that he will have all the students expelled. She lashes out at Wendy for it.
An upset Wendy rants to Lunga about cheaters and he thinks she is talking about Chris. He tells her that he and Chris kissed and she is shocked. Grootboom combs through everyone’s grades and realises Zayd, Pauline and Bruce got miraculously high marks this year. He confronts them and Zayd snitches that it was all KB and Chris.
PoolBoy keeps toying with Fiks and she gets jittery and snaps at Sam. She finally comes clean that she leaked the sex tape.
Puleng wonders if Fiks is involved with Damian’s incident. But she tells Damian that she won’t help him expose his truth as he messed with innocent people. At the end of Blood & Water Season 4 Episode 4, before Fiks can explain herself to Sam, an angry PoolBoy has her kidnapped.
The Episode Review
Blood & Water Season 4 Episode 4 has really upped the ante and we didn’t think that would be possible without some really nasty antagonists like Lisbeth and Point of Grace. While Damian and Ruff Beats are much smaller fish, the way the investigation, solutions and conflict are all executed makes it fun to watch.
Sure, it isn’t as dangerous as human trafficking and getting kidnapped by a ring, but PoolBoy can hold his own. Also, what partly makes it so thrilling is the betrayal by one of our own heroes. Fikile really kept going and covering for herself till she couldn’t. Well, it is not enough for us to hate her, but well, maybe her kidnapping can give her her redemption arc.
