One minute she is kissing him & the other minute, she is telling someone she feels nothing for him. Brenda wonders whether Danni has a boyfriend e is not aware of, but he says  it is not that or she would have received a phone call that will suggest such.

She recalls it was the days of Laide, etc. He says it is almost a year & the baby would have been born but he does not know if it is a boy or girl. She reacts to this & he changes the subject. For doing so well in his exams in spite of being away from school for a while, they have decided to allow Freddy spend more time with Danni. He says he will rather spend time with people his own age.

Bimpe & Harriet go through the love test questions & Soji failed all the questions they tested. She suggests that they try a different approach to the questions. That may produce a different set of answers.

Bimpe doesn’t like her evading the main issue. She says even if Soji is obvious she shouldn’t be. Harriet corrects ‘obvious’. Bimpe says they don’t belong together, that’s why he didn’t say he loved her. It was oblivious. She’s corrected again ‘Obvious you mean’. Bimpe says it’s not the point, he still has something for Tele. Harriet doesn’t feel the same way, saying some guys re better showing that they love their girl than saying it.
Kaneng meets with Sankey. She tells the det. That Dan’s case is being evaluated for pardon. ‘Oh ,the prerogative mercy thing’ Sankey replies lifelessly. Kaneng notices and Sankey says it’s her job to put offenders behind bars, so she should understand. Kaneng asks if it means she won’t give her approval if asked for it.

Eddy gloats & asks if that was not the main purpose of the meeting? Fred call him to order as he tears into Kaneng. She tells them that they have all been pushing Dan around. She intends to allow him make the choices in this case. He can start by reading the letter she wrote him detailing her plans. 
Jean-Baptiste walks through the arts pieces & asks Kwame if that is all? He tells her that it is a humble collection. She asks him never to use that word in describing art. Art should strike at the soul whenever it is mentioned, she tells him. Sufficiently chided, he asks her if he can fetch her anything? Drinks? Champagne? She asks if they are celebrating anything & he tells her yes, an art exhibition. She would rather be the judge of that. as she wanders off, Peju asks Kwame if he is nervous? He tells her not at all.
Bimpe & a very obviously stiff Soji are in the house in front of the camera. She tells him she went shopping for clothed & lingerie & asks if he wants to see what she bought? He irritatedly says no!

Harriet asks him to just concentrate on entertainment & leave the scheduling to her. Besides, the kids already know what undies are. As they were re-starting Chuks knocks & enters. Immediately he sees the camera, he perks up & performs for the camera; noting that he runs the best A-List Bar in town called Ziggy’s in addition to his fashion outfit.

She insists that he does what is best for Dan & he tells her about Kaneng. 
She asks if they are out of their minds, giving everyone access to Dan? She believes that Kaneng is a fraud. She asks if he does not mind the lady interfering? He agrees reluctantly that he has his reservations. He tells her that all is not lost as she rambles along. 
Chuks asks if he did anything wrong? Harriet says yes. He showed up. Chuks wonders if he is not supposed to be a part of the reality show? They complain about his promoting himself & groveling n front of the camera. They finally agree to continue so long as he does not look into the camera & stops advertising himself.
Peju tells Kwame that Jean-Baptiste has been staring at a painting for the last ten minutes. He is aware of that. Peju reminds him that they agreed that her show will have broadcast rights to the exhibition & if they show the event on TV, maybe more patrons will show up. He tells her that he has changed his mind. His pieces are at risk of being stolen. That is why the event is an invites-only event. Just then, Brenda walks in & is happy at being invited. Kwame looks shocked. 
Harriet tells Soji & Bimpe to fight, now that Chuks is gone. They ask what they are fighting for, so that they can act it well. She asks them to scratch that. Instead, she asks Bimpe to feed Soji. Bimpe says no. Soji should feed her instead as that is more romantic. He agrees & feeds her a spoon of rice as the camera rolls. Immediately she swallows, she starts choking. He grabs her & squeezes the food out of her when it started getting worrying. A relieved Bimpe hugs him & thanks him for saving her life. Harriet likes that. 
Kwame wonders what Brenda is doing at the exhibition & how she entered without an invite? Peju is happy that she is there to support Kwame. Brenda says that she was beside herself when she heard of her brother’s collections. She leaves them to go & see the works. Peju tells Kwame that Jean-Baptiste clears her throat when she is about to give the De-La-Rosa declaration. What happens after that? Kwame asks? We will know whether your artwork is good or not, she responds. 
TTK comes back to meet Salewa & Carol. She hugs Salewa who wonders what is wrong. TTK asks Carol to leave them alone. She tells Salewa that there is a woman that is out to destroy her father. She has worked her way into his heart & he sees her alone without seeing any of his relations. She tells Salewa that as she is not married to Dan, it is only Salewa that can save her father. 
(((Tinsel, Proudly Connected by …)))
Harriet is happy that they got a good footage when Bimpe was choking. Soji is not happy that they did nothing when she was choking. They tell him they were doing their jobs. Besides, he was supposed to save her & he did so. He gets up & leaves them & Harriet asks Bimoe if she is okay? She thought Bimpe was faking it before till it got quite serious. Bi pe confirms that she is okay & was not choking. Harriet is surprised at how real she made it & Bimpe tells them that at least it got a natural reaction out of Soji!
Amaka & Sheila congratulate Kwame on his exhibition. He thanks them for coming. They talk about his courage at staging an exhibition with De-La-Rosa attending despite her records. Especially as the pieces may not be too great as Danni mentioned, Sheila says. Kwame asks if it is the same Danni that works in the spa, the salsa teacher? Sheila confirms that she is their house-guest. Brenda joins them & Kwame runs away. Brenda asks whether Danni is still around as they walk away. Danni enters in a floor-length gown that got the men waowing!
Salewa says that she has already said that she will not sign the papers they want her to sign. She does not want to prove her father mentally ill. She asks why they are not trying to convince Dan to initiate the appeal process? They tell her that Dan is under the influence of something. 
Kwame is surprised that Danni came. She asks why she would not? He says that after what happened the last time, he did not think she will come. She asks if he is about to apologize? He also tells her that she did not tell him that she stays with The Ade-Williams. She asks if there is a problem with that? He says that he is sure that they must have told her some stories about him. She asks what it matters & before he could answer, Peju comes to call them. Jean-Baptiste is about to make the De-La-Rosa declaration. Everyone runs towards her except Kwame. 

Next on Tinsel
Jean-Baptiste call the exhibition a tantalizing outrage. Danni takes over from her & asks if she does not think that the exhibition contributes to the debate about neo-expressionism as a true re-birth or a passing fad?
