[upbeat Christmas music]
One of the best features
about this app is
you can request services from
plumbers, construction workers,
HVAC, electricians.
Basically all service providers
pertaining to household
chores and repairs.
We've got you.
It's like Rideshare, but,
- for freelance labor.
- Yeah.
And just like in
America, much like Uber,
it's going to be a hit
here in South Africa.
- That's right.
- Yeah.
Gugu.
Gentlemen,
if you'll excuse me, please.
I have a flight to catch
and I don't want to miss it.
Wait, a flight? What do you...
What do you mean by flight? Uhm.
Today, we're meant to be executg
the joint venture agreement.
What? Are you signing
before you leave, or...
I won't be signing.
- No?
- I have a few kinks
that I would like for us to iro,
but it is the 15th of
December, which means
we're well into our Christmas
sn here in South Africa.
So it'll have to wait until
well after the new year.
Now, about that flight.
- Don't want to be late.
- Wait.
- Gentlemen.
- Just... Themba, what's going on
- I must thank you, gentlemen.
- Don't worry about it.
- Have yourselves a merry Christ.
- Gugu.
Cheers.
Uhm, gentlemen, I'll
handle thi. Gugu.
Gugu!
What the hell was that?
Gugu. Gugu, what's really going?
I mean, you made me look
like a fool in there.
I don't know how many times
you want me to say this,
but I'm not interested.
You're not the only one who
bens from this family business.
- You know that, right?
- Yeah, I know that.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Tell me, what are you going to
o with the debt this generates?
Gugu, you remember how
they took care of me,
right, while I was at Howard?
Todd was my best friend
from business school.
Yeah, again, your best friend.
Chris and Todd are really
the best kind of people.
- I promise.
- Themba, I don't know these peoe
well enough to get into
business with them.
Besides, where's his brother?
Isn't he his business partner?
Chris is in the US, okay?
He's handling business
that sid, and he's busy.
Besides, this is Todd's baby.
Look, if we join forces with th,
I promise you, this could be
really lucrative for the family.
This app is massive.
You trust these people so much.
Why?
Because I don't trust Americans.
Please. You can trust
Todd. You can trust Chris.
How am I supposed to trust
peope that I don't even know?
People whose culture and
backgrd I'm not familiar with.
I'm sorry, Themba, but
my decision is final.
Okay, Gugu. Gugu.
Todd.
Listen, man, I'm so... I'm
so sorry about all of that.
Uhm, the attorneys?
They went outside to
hammer some deal points.
What happened with Gugu,
man? What's going on?
Don't worry about it. My
sister's just being a little.
A little difficult right now.
So what are you saying, man?
Is the deal off.? What's going?
No, no, no, it's not off. It's,
You know, I just... I
need to talk to her.
Yeah, I'll talk to her,
and I will give you a call.
Yeah, uhm...
- Themba, you...
- Yeah, I'll sort it out. Don't y
I'll sort it out.
Uhm, yeah.
Just wait.
[kwaito music]
Themba has asked us
to standby, right?
And, I mean, you know
him better than I do,
but I have a feeling that he mit
just be able to put this togeth.
This is a multi-million
Dollar revenue play,
and partnering with
Dlamini Holdings, man,
that's the fastest,
- most seamless way - Yeah.
For you to execute your
expansion on the continent.
Right. Yeah, they definitely
hae their foot in here, but
I don't know, man. I just
don't know what the hold.
You know? We're ready to move.
- [phone vibrating]
- Mm hmm.
- Oh.
- [phone vibrating]
- [phone vibrating]
- Here we go.
Here we go.
Alright, man, come on.
Talk to me nice,
Themba. What's going on?
Todd, bro, uhm...
Look, man, I'm going to
be straight up with you.
Uhm, she's not really
going for the idea,
but it's only because
she doesn't know you.
Okay? It's like...
You know how it is.
Business is like a
marriage sometimes,
you know, and she's just
not that comfortable
jumping straight into it after
t one or two dates. You know?
It's Christmas time, Themba.
We don't really have time
for a long courting session.
Themba,
how is she supposed to know us
or get to know us if we're litey
in two different continents?
Yeah. I thought about
that and I had an idea.
And just hear me out, okay?
What if you stayed,
and your family came to South
Aa for the Christmas holidays?
- What?
- You know, spending it here
in Durban, on the coast,
with my family? Of course.
Bro, you know, my mom.
She doesn't play that.
Christmas, every year at her ho.
It is a tradition.
That's not negotiable.
I understand, but I promise you,
as soon as they touch
down in South Africa,
everything will be taken care o.
And Thabo, we can fly you
back after the holidays,
just to lock in the deal, if ne.
My question is, how do we even w
that there would be
a deal to lock in?
Another good question.
Because I know my sister.
Alright. And you do realise
how big my family is, right?
Yeah, I do, and listen,
the bigger the better.
Do me a favor. You
go check with them
and get back to me, okay?
And look, Todd, I promise you,
if we can pull this off, it'll
be a Christmas to remembe.
There will be a deal.
Let's see how this goes.
Alright, man.
Okay, great.
[sighs]
[go-go music]
[phone vibrating]
Oh. [phone vibrating]
Hey, Todd. What's up?
Is Chris home yet?
I've been calling him and his
cell keeps going to voicema.
Not yet. He had a couple
of meetings downtown,
but he'll be home soon.
Is everything okay?
Yeah. Well, no.
I mean, everything is good, but,
Themba's sister, Gugu, inconveny
put the brakes on our deal.
The brakes? What
does that even mean?
It means I need Chris to
come out here and help me.
Wait, what? Todd, it's
almost the Christmas holid.
I know. I know, I know,
but as bad as I want to
come home for the holidays,
we've got to finish this deal.
So the Dlaminis have invited
us to Durban for the holidays.
Durban?
Durban? I thought you
were in Johannesburg.
No, I am, but typically this tie
of year, people come to Durban..
For the holidays to spend
Chriss out here on the coast.
Themba invited us to stay
with s family for Christmas.
Baby, think about it.
We're talking about
sand between our toes,
the Indian Ocean serenading
us for our first anniversary.
Come on, baby, what do you thin?
Babe, I'm not the one
you have to worry about.
Hey, I heard that.
Oh.
- Who is it?
- It's my baby.
- It's my son.
- Oh.
Oh, hey. What's
going on, famil?
- Hey.
- How are you doing?
How's Jo'burg treating you?
It's doing what
it's supposed t.
- Hey, nephew!
- Hey, Auntie Glo.
How do you feel about going
to South Africa for Christmas?
What?
That's a lot to take in.
And it's so last minute.
You know, I already decorated
the house on November 1st.
And what about Glo and Marcus?
It's their first anniversary.
Auntie Glo, Marcus,
everybody can come.
Even Miss Diane, if she wanted.
I know she's busy, but...
Oh.
What? I like her now.
- Yeah, girl, you better stop...
- Stop lying.
You know she's lying.
You can even invite uncle Jerom.
Oh, uncle Jerome is taking Mirae
on a Christmas Caribbean cruise.
Amen to that.
Isn't Durban on the Indian Ocea?
- Yeah.
- I hear it's beautiful there.
It's really nice.
Oh, man, it's so
beautiful, and it's warm.
How about that, honey? We
could be naked on the beach,
- Eeuw.
- Walk around doing nothing.
Isn't that where Cameron is
stug to get her fourth degree?
Yes. Yes, she's in Cape Town.
We should invite her for the ho.
Oh, yeah, that'd be great. I
know Cameron would love it he.
And I know Cydney can't make
it, but I talked to Trina,
and I talked to Chris, and
they said they're good to c.
So what do you guys
think? Mom? Pops?
Auntie Glo?
[upbeat music]
[airport announcement]
Ladies and gentlemen,
hello and welcome to King Shaka
International Airport in Durban.
The kingdom of the Zulus.
Welcome to Durban, South
Africa. What's up?
Alright. How are you doing, bud?
What's up, Mom?
Hey, what's happening?
Good to see you.
Where's Chris?
He had some meetings that
he could move around,
but he's going to meet us
here in a few days. Come here.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
So live
Oh, hey. How's it?
Your life Oh.
This is gorgeous.
Tomorrow will be okay
Oh. This is gorgeous.
Thank you so much, Auntie Sylvi.
[amapiano music]
It's so good to
see you, my bab.
Yeah, the Christmas holiday
couldn't have come sooner.
- Mmh.
- Huh?
- Couldn't agree with you more.
- Oh.
Somewhere in the city wasting
t, playing that loud music,
and doing whatever else
wannabe musicians do
that doesn't include following
the family tradition.
Look at Gugu and Themba.
Sorry. Did I hear correctly?
Look at Themba? What
are we looking at?
That you and Gugu were handling
the family business beautifully.
We actually have a lot of
great opportunities coming
in with the Wesleys.
- Yeah, growth is a great thing.
- Mm hmm.
You know, it is the
Christmas holiday,
so why don't we not talk shop
and just enjoy the moment?
Besides, I've been looking forwd
to dinner so what's the plan?
Oh, tonight we will
have a relaxed dinner.
And we start off early tomorrow
for our trip to the Midlands,
with our guests, of course.
- Guests?
- Mm hmm.
Lerato, did you get
them settled in alright?
Who?
And they're very excited
to spend Christmas with us.
Mm hmm.
Uhm... Who are our mysterious g?
Our guests are the Wesleys, sis.
The what?
The Wesleys.
Only because you didn't
know them that well, right?
So, I spoke to mom, spoke to da,
and asked them if they could
spend Christmas with us.
The day or the
whole... The whole
- holiday?
- Oh, no, no.
Every moment of every day.
You should be excited.
I have a feeling it's
going to be uhm...
'seal the deal' amazing.
Yo! Kel, coming in fast and
fur, 'cause Vin Diesel said,
- Yeah, yeah.
- Wait, guys. Oh, no. Oh.
Come on. The guests are
Africans living in America. So..
Yo, yo.
Uhm, Ankela, they
haven't dressed like this
in, what, three or four decades?
But they dress like
this. I did the research.
I watched all the movies,
Do The Right Thing,
and Malcolm X, Don't be
a menac, New Jack city.
Yeah. So shut your two-Dollar
ap before I make change.
- Jive turkey.
- Gosh.
- Bump it here. No?
- No, no, no.
- Hey? Put it here.
- Mom.
It's not too late to send
MalcoX back to Johannesburg
because we can do these
holidays without this.
That box, is that from Prince Z?
Oh, yes, yes.
How could I forget?
They invited us to spend
the 30th anniversary
of our country's
democracy with.
- Oh.
- Mm hmm.
Them, as in just us and them,
or them with the Wesleys?
Including the Wesleys.
Oh.
[upbeat music]
[upbeat music]
- Come here. One. Two. Three!
- Three!
[laughing]
I am falling in love with
this young man. He's so cute.
- Oh, Lerato.
- Okay.
He really is a sweetheart.
And I'm so happy that I
can truly enjoy him now,
because the first few months,
they were rough.
Really? In what way?
Honestly?
I suffered from
postpartum depression.
Oh, wow. I'm so sorry.
Thank you.
It caught me off guard.
I mean, I never thought that
something like that
would ever happen to me.
Not as bad as I wanted a baby.
But it did.
So how did you get through it?
Therapy,
and amazing support from Chris.
He was my rock. Truly.
I mean, during times where I...
I know that I wasn't the
nicest person to be around.
But I'm so grateful because now,
I can fully enjoy
this little blessing
That's beautiful, Trina.
Thank you.
[soft instrumental music]
To see what great
strides have been made
for black South Africans is ama.
Indeed. If you think about it,
we've only been able to own
these types of businesses
since the breakdown of
apartheid in the mid 90s.
Before then, you wouldn't have
seen us owning technology firms.
We are celebrating
the 30th anniversary
of the deconstruction
of apartheid this year.
Wow, just 30 years?
It feels much longer than that.?
To the ones it doesn't
impact, I would say yes,
but we count every second.
Yeah. I understand. I
understand completely.
So hopefully our kids
will join forces.
Let's hope so. Our boys get it,
but my Gugu is just very protece
of what we've
accumulated as a family.
She was older and
remembers the struggle,
and worries about the
risk that people will come
and take what we've built.
But it's very critical
for our children
to know that we are
stronger together.
I agree with you completely.
Nomusa, this has been a lovely.
We're so grateful that
you had us with you.
I'm so glad we have this
time to really connect.
Vusi and I are very
involved in the community.
What is success if it can be sh?
We lift as we climb, right?
We were going to let you rest,
but tomorrow, we go to
volunteer at the Zulu Museum
with our local orphanage and
host their annual Christmas par,
celebrating with the kids and
give them Christmas gifts.
Do you think you
would like to join us?
Well, if you'll have us, yes.
Family!
Cameron! Oh! Look
at you, baby girl.
Oh! Look at you.
Just like your mom.
Thank you, uncle B.
- Gene's strong, aren't they?
- Yeah, yeah.
Hey, Auntie. You look fabulous,
- Thank you.
- As always.
Welcome to the family.
Thank you.
- I'm so proud of you.
- Thank you.
- Hi.
- Hi. Cameron.
- Nice to meet you.
- Paris. Give me a kiss.
- Yes, girl.
- What's up?
- All the way in Africa!
- Africa.
- Hey! Hey! Hey!
- Anniversary looks good on you.
- Thank you.
- Oh, yeah. We appreciate it.
- Todd, - That's good.
- That car you have me in though.
- Oh, you got that skrr skrr?
I see you.
- Lots of money right there.
- Yeah, you know.
- We're working hard over there.
- Hey, Cameron.
[Christmas bells]
So delicious. How do
you say thank you?
Mmh.
Mm.
Todd tells me that
you have been running
Dlamini Industries
for almost a decade.
I have.
And since Themba graduated
from business school,
we've co-run the company togeth.
Legacy is very important.
That is so impressive.
I've always wanted to
start my own business.
It's just, starting a business
from scratch, that's...
That is very intimidating.
And, what business
would you like to start?
I've always loved dance.
Ever since I could walk, my motr
has had me in a dance class.
Truthfully,
that's my passion.
Well, I believe if you're truly
passionate about something,
then you should absolutely purs.
That makes sense.
- Passion fuels your motivation.
- Success.
Exactly.
To success.
To success.
So why did Themba never
tell me he had a brother?
Oh, I think Themba was
afraid to admit that
his brother has all the good ge.
Yeah, I think he was afraid
to admit that his brother is
a lot more handsome.
The smile, the charm.
- Yeah? Mm hmm.
- Mm hmm.
So I hear you're studying at
the University of Cape Town.
Is that cool?
Yeah, I just finished
my fourth degree.
Wow.
That was in Thailand, but
- I was born in Germany.
- Nice.
- Excuse me.
- Oh, I speak a little German.
- I see.
- Just a little German.
- I'm impressed.
- Yeah.
So what is it you do?
School. She does a
whole lot of school.
- Excuse me. I'm looking for my.
- Okay.
Baby!
Where is my honey bear?
A lot of school, huh?
- I have a thirst for knowledge.
- I see.
What about you?
I make music. Yeah, have
you ever heard of amapiano?
- Have I heard of it?
- Yeah.
- Oh, yeah. I absolutely love it.
- You do?
- Yeah.
- That's a lie.
Since when have you ever loved?
Since I studied in Cape Town!
- Oh, okay.
- Todd,
- mind your business!
- Okay!
That's amazing, though.
You should come down to the stu.
- Studio?
- Yeah, I have a studio.
- You've got a studio?
- Yeah.
I'd love that.
- You would?
- Yeah, while I'm here.
You just let me know when.
For sure.
Can I walk you the rest of the?
I mean, it's a beautiful
day ou. You are looking
fantastic.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
I'll let you lead the way.
[whimsical instrumental]
Oh, wait, wait, wait. Ms
Sylvia, you have to go this.
- No, I look skinnier
this way. k - Oh.
- Here we go. Ladies.
- Tea!
- Today was nice, huh?
- It was wonderful.
I didn't know what to expect,
but it really touched me.
I just remember when
the boys and Cydney and
Cameron were little,
- and we had so much love to giv.
- Gosh.
I mean, my heart would
just burst with joy
when they came into the room.
Oh, baby. You were superwoman.
I miss feeling that way, you kn?
What can I do to be
supportive in this?
I don't know yet,
but I know something is missing.
And now that we're both retired,
we could do something together.
Well, I can think of
a little something
we could do together right now.
Come here, Mrs Wesley.
Yeah!
- Kissy.
- Kissy, kissy.
What's up?
- Hey, baby.
- How are you? How was shopping?
You know?
It was fun.
- Yeah?
- It was really fun.
- You were hanging out with Gugu?
- Mm hmm.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
Cool. Did she uh...
Did she say anything?
About your deal?
No, baby, she didn't.
You know, I just don't get it.
You know, I'm kind
of inspired by her.
- For holding up my deal?
- No.
Kudos to her for
knowing what she wants.
It sounds like it's
not about Gugu at all.
- Well. Well, it is, - Hmm.
- But also... uh... me.
- Mmh.
I'm thinking to do something
other than just dance and
choreography and teaching.
Are you thinking about
retiring the tutu?
Well, I'm thinking about longev,
and what it is I really want to.
Now, I am so thankful to God.
I'm so grateful that I was able
to leave corporate America,
and really follow my
dreams and my passion
into dancing and choreography
but maybe I ought to...
Maybe I can do something more, ,
open up a dance school.
I don't know, I'm just...
I'm trying to figure it out.
Well, whatever you decide to do,
whenever you decide to do it,
you've got the support of
myself and my entire tribe.
Take your time. You'll
get it together.
You always do.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
I could strip.
You know? Be a stripper.
- Mmmh.
- Mmmh?
Uhm, I mean, about that...
- But I don't... I don't...
- You don't, uh... What?
I don't... I don't remember
you dancing like that.
You are so silly.
Todd.
Todd Wesley, I love you.
[laughing]
[singing traditional song]
[singing traditional song]
We're very privileged to
have yu with us this evening,
The Wesleys as well as the Dlam.
You are most welcome here.
Please stay forever.
[laughing]
[clapping]
[indistinct chatter]
Wait for them.
[indistinct chatter]
[sentimental music]
[sentimental music]
[sentimental music]
[clears throat]
You mind if I join you?
[scoffs]
So, my name is Marcus.
What's your name?
- Dingane.
- Dingane.
Well, it's nice
to meet you, Di.
Uhm...
So why you are out
here all by yourself?
I think you can clearly see
that I'm not interested.
In what, the Christmas party?
[scoffs]
Why?
Why not?
You know, the question is,
why should I be?
Why? Why should I be interested?
So that I can make the
rich people feel good
about helping us little,
poor orphans and then what?
I...
I... I... I'm sorry.
I don't understand.
Yeah. See, that's...
That's exactly where the proble.
You will never understand.
You see, you're going to leave,
and we're going to stay here.
And then next year
is when we are going to see you.
Besides,
it's not like I ever get
what I want for Christmas.
[sentimental music]
[sentimental music]
Oh, that boy sleeps
just like his daddy.
I used to think that Chris was
g to be a boxer when he grew up,
because of the way he slept
wits when he was little.
That's right.
- I was like... I was like...
- All over the place.
Did you always know you
wanted to have kids?
Well, I never had a
desire 'til I met Sylvia.
Then we had one and I wanted mo.
I always knew I
wanted to be a mother.
I love children. I love
taking care of people.
Sylvia was everybody's
mother in our friend group.
- Oh, yeah?
- Mm.
But she was also my
designated driver.
You gave me no choice.
We didn't have
Rideshare back t.
I couldn't just throw
you in the backseat.
- You'd hop out.
- Throw?
- Okay. Okay.
- Yeah. How about that shelter?
Sylvia and I had such a good ti.
Yeah, we did too.
I don't think I've
done anything like that
since I was in the military.
Yeah, I saw you talking to that
young man with a bad attitude.
Dingane?
He didn't have a bad attitude.
Well, what do you call it, Marc?
What?
I tried to offer the
young man some dinner.
You know what he told me?
You eat it.
Oh.
- That is not funny.
- Come on. Come on, baby.
He's just feeling a
little lost right now.
I mean, think about it.
That boy has been in
there all this life.
He's watched these rich people e
and go and kids come and
go, and he's still there.
And, God,
I know what it feels
like to be not wanted.
But, uhm...
he'll be alright.
He just needs somebody to be fom
what you've been for me.
Alright.
Okay. That was good.
- You got me.
- But he's a good kid. He is.
[amapiano music]
[amapiano music]
Of course, I miss you, baby!
Huh?
Yes.
Yes.
Ooh, yes, baby!
Oh, my god!
Stop!
Mm hmm.
I love you too.
I said I love you too!
Alright, I'll see you soon.
Ah, you know what? You
are such a buzzkill!
This is your, party?
Mhm!
Two shots left. One
for me, one for you.
- Mm hmm?
- Mm hmm.
I still paid for this shot.
Oh, well, then cheers to you.
A smile!
I know how to smile, okay?
And you don't
have to worry abo.
This is your party. You should
o and play with your friends.
I'm a grown woman. I
can take care of myself.
- Okay, okay.
- Bye!
You could try to have some
fun. You know that, right?
I'm having fun. See?
No, no, that's not going to do.
- Put that down.
- What?
We're going to the dance
floor. We're in the club.
What?
- Oh, gosh.
- Come on!
[amapiano music]
- Hi.
- Hi!
Need a little fresh air?
Yeah. How about you?
I just got off the phone with m.
Mm.
She's in London right now.
Just telling me how proud
she is that I'm here,
spending time with my
family at Christmas.
- I hadn't seen them in a while.
- Yeah.
You know, I think it's
pretty cl that you guys
were able to come meet up in my.
This is your city?
It's my city.
- Oh?
- Mm hmm.
Alright. Then you must be a coo.
A cool cat?
Yeah, like, a cool person.
Someone with a vibe. A groove.
I know what a cool cat is,
I'm just messing with you.
- Thank you. Thank you for that.
- Alright, alright.
- That made me feel very America.
- Uh huh?
Yeah.
Yeah, it was cute though, I mea,
you were about to give
me a whole dissertation
on the definition of a cool cat.
Okay, I'm taking it back.
You're no longer a cool cat.
So, random question.
- Yes?
- Do you sing, by any chance?
- Sing? Sing.
- Yeah.
I mean, I dabble.
- You dabble?
- Yeah.
For real?
Then you have to come to the st.
- Are you being for real?
- I'm being for real, yes.
I mean, I don't... You know...
I don't blow.
I'm no Aretha.
Okay, well, the thing is, I...
I'm preparing for this
Christmas festival right now
and I just lost one of
my performers, so...
You know.
I was thinking that...
What?
That you could, maybe, jump on?
Like...
Help me out?
It is Christmas.
I don't know.
You know, it might not work out
the way you want it to work out.
I sing in the shower.
Like, that's
where I do my best.
I'll make you sound good.
You don't take "no"
for an answ, do you?
I don't.
I promise you.
I can make anything sound good.
Yeah?
Yeah.
- Okay.
- Where's the studio?
Baby, this is nice!
- Yeah, this is crazy.
- Mm hmm.
I don't know what I would
withou here on the holidays.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Well, I know what you couldn't.
- Hey, wait! Yo! Yo!
- What?
I'm tired! Junior
needs a break!
Fine.
- Yeah.
- But only ten minutes, okay?
Yeah, I'll let you know.
Ten minutes.
We'll see.
Don't get it.
No, no, no!
Hey, hey, hey.
- Ah, baby!
- I've got to take it.
I've got to take it!
It's Themba.
- I've got to take this.
- Okay, baby.
- Okay, okay.
- Two minute warning, though.
What's up, man?
What's going on?
Yo, Todd!
Who's Lalela? What
does that mean?
It means "listen" .
Okay, so the cars are going to e
at your place to pick you up inw
to take us to the 30th anniversy
celebration, which will be at,
none other than, the Zulu Kingd.
Zulu Kingdom?
Bro, we don't have clothes for.
Just check outside your
door. I'll see you there.
What's up?
Uh, I'm about to go and see.
[inquisitive drum]
Whoa!
Oh, wow!
Ooh!
I bet it cost a lot of Vibraniu.
[Zulu chanting]
[ululation]
[drumming]
Hey, Dr Watkins.
It's Dr Wesley.
Yeah, I have a second.
Yes, I took that examination.
Okay.
Huh?
There's... There's a what?
Uh huh.
Uh huh.
No, no, no, I'm fine. Uh...
Thank you for letting me know.
Of course.
We'll talk soon.
If I'm not mistaken,
I think Marcus wants
to start a family
with Glo.
And I know my girl.
She's not down for that.
Her philosophy about children it
they're good to borrow and retu.
Not to have any of your own.
Brian.
Huh?
Oh, yes. I'm sorry, baby.
You seem a little
preoccupied. Anything wrong?
No, no, no. Everything's fine.
It's probably the
time change, you know?
Okay.
Well, when you're ready to
telle what's bothering you,
I just want you to
know that I know you,
I feel you and
I'm here for you.
Whenever you're ready.
[thunder]
[upbeat dance music]
I'll tell you what, man. I'd
better slow down on these.
- Yeah?
- They're so good.
They're going to make me sweat!
- Yeah?
- They're going to make me water.
No, Todd! Don't!
- Yo! What?
- We're in South Africa, man!
No, no, listen to me.
Don't ever repeat that joke
while you're here, okay?
- What? Okay.
- Don't do it!
- It was a good joke.
- Take that back with you.
- Fair enough, man.
- What?
This trip has been
above and beyond, man.
Yeah, man, it's a pleasure.
Don't even mention it.
No, man, we appreciate
it. The pleasure is ours.
- Yeah.
- Thank you so much for hosting.
- This is so much fun.
- Any time.
I'm curious though. Did you
hapo hear from Gugu on anything?
Uh, she has...
She's been as stubborn as ever.
But you know what?
Don't worry about it.
She'll come around.
She'll sign.
I feel like there's something
you're not telling us.
No, it's nothing. Trust me.
You know what? We did not
come o this fine establishment
to talk about my sister, okay?
So can we enjoy the night?
- Can we have some fun?
- Yes!
- Yes!
- Thank you!
Can we please enjoy ourselves, ?
Yes! Damn, I'm sorry!
I don't get many nights
without the baby like this.
- I thought I heard my nephew fu.
- You heard him?
- Yeah.
- I'm sorry.
No seriously, I'm sorry.
Because he's a little more
fussy than he normally is...
because he's
teething right now.
- Oh, man.
- It's a lot.
I decided to give Paris the nigf
The grandparents have
him for the night.
So with that, can we please
toat and get this party started?
- Okay!
- I agree.
- Okay, no more business.
- Yeah.
Let's do it. Boom.
- Boom, boom, boom. Fun.
- Fun, Todd! Fun!
Gang up on Todd
then! That's crazy!
[upbeat dance music]
Girl!
I thought we came here to party.
I've been looking all over for!
I'm sorry, you must
think I'm such a fool.
No, no, no!
I'm not... No.
What is going on, Lerato?
Nothing, nothing. I can't
beliee I'm crying in here.
- I feel so silly.
- Okay, no. Stop it.
If there's anybody in here
who understands emotions,
believe me, it's me.
Here.
Don't downplay your feelings.
Whatever you're feeling,
and I mean whatever,
it's valid.
Thank you.
It's just...
I can't believe one innocent
cot triggered me like that.
One mention of your baby and...
How long have you been trying?
Our entire marriage.
I'm starting to feel like
theres something wrong with me.
Girl, we have so much more
in common than you think.
It took quite some time
for Chris and me...
It took some time before
we got pregnant with CJ.
And it was during those dark
mos that, I promise you,
I was feeling exactly the
way you feel right now.
- Really?
- Absolutely!
Oh, my gosh!
I thought about it all the
time. I mean, it was on my mind,
constantly.
But, you know what?
I did some research.
There are so many ways
that you can conceive.
And, honestly, even though I
dit end up going that route,
at that time,
it gave me so much hope.
And I can share that with you.
- That's so sweet, thank you.
- Of course.
- Oh, gosh.
- Okay, listen. Hey!
We're family now, right?
Yeah!
Thank you.
[laughing]
Get back to having your fun.
But, you girls, do
not do anything crazy.
At least not while
I'm out here.
I love you.
Oh, my God! I have to
put Mama Syl on payroll.
[laughing]
[phone vibrating]
Oh, I'm so sorry,
ladies. Real quick.
Uh, real quick. Sorry, ladies.
I've got to take this.
Okay.
Thabo, what's going on,
man? Is everything okay?
Todd, man, I've been
trying to get hold of you.
I'm sorry, the signal's
been spotty out here.
Uh, what's going on?
Hey, please tell me you bypassed
Themba and got that thing signe?
Wesley Technologies has been ha.
What?
Yeah!
It doesn't seem to be linked
to our system, however,
it could've potentially exposedr
customers' personal information,
aiding in a what? Corporate sca,
if you know what I mean. So,
I'm just trying to assess
the damage right now.
Alright, what does that mean fo?
Todd, this means you keep
it on the low, please.
And keep this in the family.
No one should know about this.
I'll get back to you as soon asl
find out more information, okay?
But in the meantime, please
keep your line clear, Todd.
Alright man, for sure.
I've got to call Chris and
let m know what's going on.
Alright, cool. Chat later.
See you later. [keypad tone]
Hey, how did this happen?
I have no clue.
[voicemail] Hello, no one is
available to take your call.
Please leave a message
after the tone.
- Hey, yo, - Okay.
Have you talked to Chris?
I tried to call him last night
but when I didn't get him,
I just assumed it was because
of the timezone difference.
I've got to try again.
Okay, I'll dial the house.
Damn.
Oh, wow.
What is it?
There's a major blizzard
on the East Coast.
The whole thing's
shut down. No service.
No flights in or out.
What am I supposed to do now?
You'll figure it out.
Bro, we're far enough.
You need to tell me why you
brought me all the way here.
You know we need to finish
with the gift wrapping, right?
Thabo just called me,
and he said we might be dealingh
a potential hack with our compa.
Are you serious?
Yes, bro.
And now I can't
get hold of Chr.
He's going to
think it's my fau.
Geez.
Okay, look.
Whatever we do, just make sure
t none of this gets to Gugu.
Because if she finds out
about, I promise you,
this is the perfect reason to
shut this whole thing down.
You have my word. I
won't say anything.
Oh, there he is.
Hey!
I thought I'd find
you hiding some place.
So, you came back?
Yeah.
I made myself very clear when
Id you that I'm not interested.
Why did you come back?
Well, I came back to just
propey introduce you to my wife.
This is Gloria.
You offered me your dinner.
Okay, look. What do you say, uh,
we just get out of
here for a little bit?
Uh, you...
[scoffs]
- Excuse me, - [chuckles]
can you excuse us for a second?
Marcus, can I talk
to you for a second?
Alright.
What?
What are you doing?
Well, I asked if I
could have permission
to take him out for some ice cr.
Marcus, he hasn't
even apologised to me.
Oh, so you're
condoning bad behavior.
Gloria.
Come on.
I just think he
deserves the sa. Look.
Just the same grace you gave me.
Remember that?
- Look at him.
- Fine.
Fine.
Fine.
Oh, you're so sweet.
That's why I love you.
Come on.
- I'm in the zone.
- You are in some zone.
I feel like my vocal cords
have loosened up now.
Have they?
[singing out of tune]
It was just that one little pie.
Should I play what
we've done s?
Mhm.
Are you ready?
- Mhm.
- Okay.
[song starts playing]
Time is of the essence, you
don't wanna waste too much
- Wow.
- Mm hmm.
[song continues]
- That's me?
- That's you.
It's so great to be able
to hang out with someone
who's on the same vibe as I am.
Because everyone else
around me is just so
annoyingly left-brained.
I feel like my creativity
is starving, you know?
Tell me about it.
Sometimes I feel like
I'm the family outcast.
I don't know, I just...
I don't think
they understand me
for learning and traveling the.
There's just so much to see.
Yeah.
Do you know what you
want to do though?
No.
Yeah. You know when
you mentioned outcast?
I get that.
You know, me being
different... It's...
It's almost cost me my
relationp with my father.
Wow.
I'm sure he's changed now.
With all of this, now, right?
No.
No, I can still see it.
I...
I know that he still hates the t
that I won't join my siblings
in the family business.
But for the sake of my mother,
he won't fully disown me.
Even after seeing what
an incree artist you are?
Yeah, he's never
seen me perfor.
- He hasn't heard any of my song.
- Are you kidding me?
I wish I was.
But hey, look, that's
a story for another day.
Right? So, what do
you say, you and I, we
head back and finish that track
while you are still in your zon?
Yeah?
Yeah.
- I am in my zone.
- You are in a zone.
That's for sure.
Thank you so much, ma'am.
[Dingaan singing in Zulu]
[Dingaan and Marcus sing in uni]
Hey!
Eat your ice cream.
What do you think about this on?
Much like the other 14
items you've shown me.
You're just a ray of
sunshine t, aren't you?
You know, you're not
being any help at all.
You know what? How
about we make a deal?
Yes?
I'll help you if you help me.
What do you think about the Wes?
I haven't decided yet.
Okay, you're prolonging
this and I don't know why.
And I don't know why you're
pushing for this so much.
I mean, we are fine just
the way that we are.
What do we need to expand for?
If anything, we should be invitg
Thokozani into the family busin.
Uh, Thokozani hates the family
business and you know that.
Gugu, I'm encouraging you
to think about somebody other
than yourself, for once.
Oh, now you're
just insulting m.
[scoffs]
Everything I've ever
done has always been
in the best interests of this f.
Okay, but who says you
have to make that decision?
We're a team.
Yes, and every team has its lea.
- The...
- Mm.
Okay, you know what? Let's...
Why? What is it that you
don't e about the Wesleys?
I didn't say I don't like them.
I just said I don't trust
them. It's really that simple.
Okay, but you're not
even trying to trust them.
Seriously, Gugu.
Every decision that you've
made, regarding this business,
I have supported.
When are you going to show
me that kind of support?
Look, I get it.
This is all you have, right?
But it's not all I have.
And I'm just begging you to
understand that and trust me.
I'm trying to trust you.
And believe me, I've
tried to get to know them.
But not really.
Uh, but you can,
actually.
So, they've invited
me to family night,
and I've been saying
that they're like family.
So why don't you tag
along? See for yourself.
Let me see that shoe.
Uh, I haven't decided.
I might decide not to come.
[upbeat Christmas music]
I think it's
better with that o.
Alright!
It is time for the
Wesley talent show!
[cheering]
Remember, if you're
good, you get this.
Yeah!
And if you're really,
really ba, you get this.
- Boo!
- And I'll push you off.
So let's kick it off,
right? Are you ready?
Hark! The herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King!
Joyful, all the nations rise
Join the chorus of the skies
With the angelic host proclai
Christ is born in Bethlehem
[cheerful Christmas music]
- Jah Rastafari, I and I...
- These people have money...
Is that what I think it is?
What are you doing?
I'm so sorry, my queen.
I didn't mean to
offend you, I'.
No, no, no!
Light that up!
- Yeah?
- Yeah!
Hell yeah! What are you
talking about? Come on!
Yes!
[upbeat Christmas music]
[vigorous traditional drumming]
[Christmas bells]
[gentle music]
I think Gugu had a good
time to. Don't you?
Oh, yeah. Definitely.
- But she'd never admit it thoug.
- No way.
That's Gugu.
I feel like she's being so
selfh about this whole thing.
I mean, she's making
it all about her,
and when have we not done
what Gugu wants to do?
Yeah, right?
Maybe she's right.
Todd did reach out to you
about the Wesley breach.
Okay, so I just need you to kno,
- just for future
reference, - Mm.
I hate it when you're right.
- Which is every day?
- Yeah, every day.
- Mhm.
- All the time.
Because you're supposed to be
- on my side.
- Oh, no!
- And you're never on my side.
- I am! I am!
- Say you're on my side.
- Stop! I am on your side!
- Uhm...
- No, I want the details.
So, tell me. How are you
going o make it up to me?
- What?
- No, remember,
- Okay, okay.
- You said we weren't coming her,
and now we're here, so
you've go make it up to me.
What is this?
Hi.
And what are you talking about?
Wesley Technologies got hacked.
Yeah, Todd mentioned it.
But they're still gathering
det. He's on top of it.
So you knew about this and
didn't think to mention it to m?
What? A breach that they don't
n have any information about?
Also, to you?
With the way you've been
going n about the Wesleys?
Yeah, that definitely
would've d this joint venture.
Are you telling me that
you are still willing to go
through with this joint venturen
with this breach that has happe?
Something that you even
didn't think was necessary
to tell your own business partn?
This! This is exactly
what I was fearing.
You are letting them
in to kick me out.
I wouldn't do that to you.
Themba, why does it seem like
ye forgotten that our family
has worked so hard to get
to where we are today?
To risk it all, like this?
I'm glad I didn't
sign those pa.
Tell the Wesleys to have a merry
Christmas and send them back ho.
The Wesleys are coming to
art dy at the orphanage.
Yeah.
Uhm...
she's going to have
to tell them herself.
You know I love our Cameron,
but somebody needs to tell thatl
that she sounds like a stray
cat getting stomped on.
- [chuckles]
- Absolutely.
You're not even
listening to what I said!
And what I just said
was really funny.
I'm sorry, baby.
What's going on?
Well, I, uhm...
I got a call from my doctor ear.
Your doctor?
Yeah, I'm sure
it's nothing, bu.
He's saying there's
a discrepancy in the results
from my prostate exam.
Like what?
He didn't say.
But he definitely said he
wanted to seek a second opinion.
It, uhm...
I...
I don't know. When you get
a cal like that, you start
having all these thoughts
racing through your head.
Especially when dad...
succumbed to prostate
cancer. He had cancer, so...
I can't believe you've been
deag with this all by yourself!
Father God.
We come to You
for protection
and wholeness.
For we know that with You,
anything can be made whole.
So, I ask You
to remove the fear and doubt.
And fill us with
faith and wellness.
For we know that You're
a doer of many things.
And for that, we
are forever grateful
Yes.
For all our many blessings.
- We thank you, God.
- Thank You.
- Amen.
- Amen.
Almighty
Bless Africa
Hey, Todd, man. Check this out.
So, no material
data or information
was compromised, right?
However, it was an
innocuous breach.
And you won't believe
who's behind it.
Who?
Hey, T!
Please, tell me that was
good news about the breach.
Pretty good news, actually.
- I know a few things.
- How did you get it sorted?
It's actually a funny story.
We've never actually had
anything like this happen befor.
So, I called Thabo
and had him research to
figure out a few things.
And he was able to get down
to how the breach started
in the first place.
- Okay, that's great.
- Yeah.
Even better, he figured out
who was behind the breach.
And what did you find?
You know, I don't
think that's important.
I think the most important thing
is that it's been resolve.
- Right?
- Right.
While that's
definitely importa,
it's definitely not the most
important thing to address.
Perhaps the most important
thing to address is
the fact that you
were behind the hack.
Gugu initiated the breach.
No, that's ridiculous
because Gugu would never do
She'd never do that. She...
Would you? Gugu?
Gugu, did you do this?
Gugu, why would
you do that to us?
Why? We've been
nothing but nice to you.
All we were trying
to do was build.
I wanted to show you
that if you were to go ahead
with this joint venture,
you'd leave me behind.
And I wasn't wrong.
You withheld crucial
information from me.
And even made me
look like I was crazy
for even having concerns.
I was afraid of losing the one
thing that I was most certain o.
And that is us, Themba.
- Because we're the partnership.
- So, this was a test?
Honestly, I can't
believe that you did this.
This is ridiculous. You
have gone way too far.
And I'm so embarrassed,
Todd, by all of this.
Listen, Todd, I'm really,
really sorry about this, man.
Yeah, man. Me too.
But you know, what I've always
loved about you, Cameron,
is that you never give up.
Girl, you make me want more.
- I love you.
- I love you.
Gugu, what's wrong?
I think I made a huge
error in judgement, guys.
What do you mean, Gugs?
I initiated the hack
into Wesley Technologies.
What?
I didn't intend any
malice with the hack.
I just wanted to test the guys.
To see how they'd react
in a potential crisis.
And just as I suspected,
they left me out
of the whole thing.
No one, not a single person,
not even my own brother
told me anything.
But, Gugu
you haven't exactly made
yoursef available to them either.
- Mm hmm.
- She's got a point.
Fair enough. You're right.
- But I guess I was afraid.
- Afraid of what?
Of being pushed out
of my own company.
Of being left out of
important decisions.
I mean, let's be honest, guys.
When men get together, we
women are always left out.
And how can I be left
out of my own company?
I swear I'm having a
flashback because I get it.
You do?
Alright, I'm going to
tell you ladies something.
But I'm going to need
you to keep it right here.
Because if you say anything,
Trina, I'm going to deny it.
- Okay.
- Sure, sure.
Okay.
My cousins
are truly amazing beings.
They believe in love,
progress and family.
And if you don't know
this by now, girl,
we don't just invite
everybody around here.
You are part of our family.
You couldn't be in
business with better people.
That's just the truth, okay?
Now, they're still men.
So, we're going to have
to wrangle them back.
- Mm hmm.
- But that's why we got you, Gug.
I know you're
going to check th.
Like you always do my husband.
And the ladies gave Gugu grace.
Bring it in, sister.
[warm hearted music]
Oh, that's true. Hold on,
baby. I'll be right ba.
Hey, Dr Watkins.
Hello, Dr Wesley. I do
apologise for the delayed.
I've been so busy
these past few days.
Yeah. No, I understand.
I'm just happy that
I got you on the line.
So, what's going on?
I wanted to let you know
that there was an issue
with the lab results we
discussed a few days ago.
An issue? What kind of issue?
Well, the test itself was fault.
Brian, you're in good health.
Although your
cholesterol was higher
- than I'd like to see.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Wait, wait. So, you mean
my prostate is fine?
- Yes.
- Oh, God. Yes!
That's excellent. Thank you,
Do. Thank you. Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas, Dr Wesley.
- Yeah, Merry... Happy...
What's going on?
Is everything okay?
It's better than okay.
Everything is great.
I just got a call from Dr Watkid
apparently, my test
results were wrong.
My health is perfect.
Oh, that's amazing.
I told you. I told you God got.
Baby, this is beautiful.
You know I'd do a little
something for the queen.
- Thank you.
- Mm hmm.
Can you believe that we've
only been married for a year?
It feels just like yesterday.
- Time flies when you're having.
- True.
- But you know what?
- What's up?
Let's take it to the
beginning where it all began.
- To the beginning?
- Yes.
- Yes.
- You put your drink down.
I put mine down.
Like that wasn't just
a couple of years ago.
Hold this.
- Oh! The brown liquor?
- Oh!
- Oh, okay.
- Is that what we're doing?
- That's what's happening.
- Okay.
For you, and that's for me.
- Oh, yeah?
- Yes.
- Some things never change.
- Okay.
To my love. When we
met, we were a hot mess.
But coming to my
best friend's house,
seeking refuge during Christmas,
that was the best decision
I ever made because
we became fast friends.
And then best friends.
And now, I'm sitting here in
Durban, South Africa
with the love of my life.
- And baby, I am beaming with jo.
- Mmh.
- Todd Wesley.
- Yeah?
- Cheers - Cheers.
To forever with you.
- Absolutely.
- Happy anniversary, my love.
- Happy anniversary.
- Happy anniversary.
- Up to it.
- Up to it?
- Down to it.
- Down to it?
- Yes, sir.
- Oh, my God.
Mmh.
Mmh!
[Christmas bells]
Aunty, don't tell me you brought
wrapping paper from your home.
You know I did. Thank you, baby.
- Can I ask you something?
- Always. What's going on?
Do you think I'm
all over the place?
Your words, not mine.
I'm serious.
I think you're still young.
I just turned 30.
30? Damn!
Okay! I mean...
I'm just kidding. You're still.
God, if I could do 30
again, the things I'd do.
Mmh. That's just it, honestly.
I feel like I'm
doing too many things.
Why don't you make a plan
to do something and stick
to it? Something that...
that makes you happy.
I'm still learning that lesson.
Really?
So, I guess I have something
to look forward to when I...
When I'm old.
Old?
Tell me. Are you
still mad at Themba?
Because if you are
you were wrong for
what you did to him.
But, Gugu, you are amazing.
You're great at what
you do. So is Themba.
Your brother put in
lots of time and energy
starting the business
venture of the Wesleys.
He only approached you when he
was certain it would be grea.
I'm proud of all of you.
All of you.
I was so concerned
about your ability
to provide a decent
life for yourself.
But you're doing very
well for yourself.
I must not let my expectations
of what I wanted for you
to cloud what you
have accomplished.
All we want is for
you all to be happy.
We love you.
You're going to come
watch my performance?
Yep.
But you've never come
to see me perform.
There's a first time
for everything, son.
Okay, now, DJ TK.
Excuse me.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
I really feel bad
about what I did.
I hate how I brought
shame upon you,
and embarrassed you like that.
You didn't deserve it.
You're right, I didn't.
I know you'd never
steer me wrong.
I should've given you a fair
chance and an opportunity.
And for that, I was wrong.
I guess I was afraid
and I needn't be.
Because you were right, the
Wesleys are good people.
Can you forgive me? Please.
I really want to make this righ.
I am.
And it's Christmas. Can't I
get a free pass already? Please?
I mean, I would go
down on my knees.
But my outfit is cute, you know.
Ah, come on, Young T.
Dude, wow. You've...
I haven't been called
Young T in a very long time.
My rap days are far behind me.
Okay. Is it working, though?
- Apology accepted.
- Yes.
Thank you.
- Truce?
- Truce.
- Bring it in. Truce.
- Come here.
He shared with me that they
finally lifted that travel advi.
So, he should be jumping
on a flight this afternoon
right after the
concert to come here.
Ah, of course. Todd,
look who's here.
Hey. Uhm, Merry Christmas.
- Hey.
- Hi.
Well, I'm going to let
you guys talk, okay?
Alright. Uhm...
What's going on?
Todd, I owe you an apology.
I'm sorry I hacked
into your business.
- We're really, really sorry abo.
- No. No.
It was me, really. All of it.
My insecurities. My jealousy.
Here I am not wanting to
create a joint venture with you
because I don't know you.
Yet, I'm the one who
cannot be trusted.
Look, Gugu, if I may.
In a very small way, I can
see where you're coming from.
And uhm, we're still family.
Thank you. That is
what I've been saying.
- Come on, man.
- Thank you.
Hey, look. It's water
under the bridge.
But I do appreciate
you saying that.
I hope you really mean that
because I'd really like
to go back to the deal,
if it's still on the table.
And that's if
you'll still have us.
Oh, yeah. It's
definitely on the table.
I haven't even
updated Chris ye.
So, if we can get
this thing signed,
- I'd look like a king.
- Right here.
We did get Kofi just
to update the dates.
But otherwise, that's the
original deal that we agreed on.
It definitely is.
I mean, there's no
time like the present.
Do you guys have a pen?
- Oh, please tell me you have a.
- I think I have one.
I do. Uhm...
- Right here.
- Thank you.
There aren't any
takebacks on this, right?
No.
Well, if you take your
time, I might just change...
No, I'm joking. No takebacks.
Hey. Okay.
No takebacks. It looks
like we have a deal.
And I believe that
makes us partners.
- Merry Christmas, partner.
- Merry Christmas.
Come on, bring it in.
- Ah!
- Oh!
You couldn't be left out.
No, of course not, bro.
- Thank you so much, man.
- Hey, man. It's love.
- Thank you.
- Awesome!
Ah, hey!
What's up, man?
How are you doing?
- Fantastic.
- It's good to see you.
- Come on in.
- Thank you.
- Hey!
- Hey, Brian!
- How are you doing?
- I'm so good.
How are you doing, my brother?
- Hi.
- Hi!
- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.
Good to see you.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Hey, Paris and Ankela.
Follow me, guys.
Ankela! Ankela! Here!
[Ankela screaming]
Ankela, are you holding
a shoe? What are you...
- What's the matter?
- What's wrong?
Okay, look. I've never been
somewhere like this before and
I don't think
that I belong her.
Do you know what I
learned the other day?
I learned that "Dingane"
means one who searches.
And if anybody could tell you
about searching, it's me.
Before I met Gloria, I...
I didn't know anything
except wandering.
I just was out there by myself.
I couldn't even tell you
what I was searching for.
But then uhm...
Then I met Gloria
and the Wesleys.
And uhm...
They saw me.
They showed me kindness.
And they showed me love.
They showed me what
family really is.
And we can't think of anybody
that's more deserving
of that than you.
You know, you two are the
best people I've ever met.
- Do you want to tell him?
- Tell me what?
How would you feel about
coming home with us to DC?
Do you mean that you
want to adopt me?
We'd love to be your parents.
- Are you being for real right n?
- Yes.
Yes.
Hey, Jerome. Merry Christmas.
Are you having fun on
your Caribbean Cruise?
Do you miss me? I know you do.
Yeah, we miss you really badly.
- Hold on. Who's that?
- Oh, hell no!
I love you. Merry Christmas.
Always hitting on people.
Okay. Can I get your
attention, everyone?
Uhm, Sylvia and I
have an announcement.
We
Are going to open a community
centre for the arts.
And as soon as we get back home,
we're going to start
the proceedings.
- Ah, man.
- That's awesome.
We are talking singing, dancing,
theatre, fine arts, you name it.
Ryan, Todd told us that
you wanted to open
your own dance studio.
Well, I wanted to know
if you'd be interested
in doing your dance
school at the arts centre.
Uhm, Mama Sylvia,
I would love that.
That sounds perfect.
Thank you both so much.
Being here reminds us
that we have so much
to be thankful for.
And not to take a
day for granted.
We have been so blessed.
And it's our responsibility
- to bless others.
- That's true.
And many others with
this arts centre.
So, family, I'll need you
to roll up your sleeves,
because it's going to take a
village to make this happen.
- Did you hear me?
- Yes!
- We got you, Aunty.
- Okay.
Okay, family. This has been
everything. Thank you so much.
But, we have to go.
- Cam, we have sound check.
- Yes, we do.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
- No, my niece?
- This Cameron?
- Are you sure?
- Really? Cameron?
- No. She...
- Perform?
- Her right here?
You must've put a
talk box on her voice
because there's no way
in hell. There's no way.
- Come on.
- There's no way. I'm just sayin.
- Okay, Aunt Glo.
- I'm just saying.
You don't have to do all that.
You know what? We'll
see you guys there, okay?
- Yeah.
- We'll see you. We'll be there.
- Yes, thank you.
- Congratulations.
Girl...
Hey, how are you doing, man?
Oh, there you are, baby.
Here you go. Here you go.
Okay, my baby.
There you go, baby. Mm hmm.
Hey, guys. Gugu and Lerato are
still setting up at the venue.
Can we toast, meanwhile?
- Yes!
- Yes!
Marcus. Glo.
Happy anniversary!
- Happy anniversary!
- Thank you!
- Thank you.
- Happy!
This is a special
anniversary for me and Glo
because we have decided
that we're going to
expand our family.
- No, she's not pregnant.
- Oh, okay. I was just...
- A miracle.
- No, we just...
But we're going to stay a
couple of extra weeks to uhm...
To start adoption proceedings
for our soon-to-be new son,
- Dingane Elkins.
- Yes!
- Yeah!
- Alright!
- Congratulations, Glo!
- Congratulations!
- Glo!
- Great news!
This is the first
time in my life
that everything just feels righ.
Girl, that boy has an attitude.
He's got a mouth on him.
So, I'm going to need all
these leftover cocktails
and whatever else
Paris and Ankela have.
I'm going to need
that right now.
Oh, everybody knows, okay?
Let's take a selfie.
For my new IG account.
- Yeah.
- The twins will be so proud of.
- She got a new account.
- Come on, now.
- Everybody, smile!
- Come on, get in there.
- Come on, hold up there.
- I got it, I got it.
- Hold it up, hold it up.
- Okay, cheese! Cheese!
- Hold it up.
- One, two, three!
- Wesley!
- Wesley!
- Please, hey.
- Wow, this is gorgeous.
- Please. Yes.
- My baby.
- Yes, baby.
- Trina was looking for you.
- Oh, hi.
- Hi.
- You look gorgeous.
- You look stunning.
I wanted to find you because
I have something special
that I wanted to give to you
before everyone else arrives.
Oh, okay.
- Both of us?
- Yes.
Oh, okay.
Thank you. What is it?
It's the contact information
to the best fertility
doctor in the country.
She's based in DC.
- Tri?
- Trina.
Trina, this is so kind of you.
Themba and I have spoken
about this countless times.
This is going to give us
impetus to move forward with it.
This is perfect.
Thank you so much.
And please know that you're
welcome to stay with us
for as long as you'd like.
Well, I have been
telling Lerato about DC.
So, you might see us over
there sooner than you think.
Okay.
Now, we don't have an
ocean in our backyard.
But I think it's going to do.
Sorry, guys. These
are the caterers,
I just need to take this.
But, Trina, thank you so much.
Amazing.
And we're having a baby.
We're having a baby.
- I love you. A baby.
- A baby.
[amapiano music]
- Hey, beautiful.
- Mmh.
- Hey.
- How are you feeling?
- I can't do this.
- You can do this.
- I can't.
- You can. Look at me.
You can.
Don't worry about it, the
mic is going to be off.
I'm just going
to play the trac.
Do you know how bad I sound?
Oh, you're one of the
worst voices God ever made.
- See? This is - But
it's not about the voice.
Okay? It's about you.
And I told you that you
have something special.
I meant it, okay?
I promise. And I've got you.
Let's go out there and
have some fun, okay?
- Okay.
- You'll be great. I've got you.
Let me sip.
Perfect.
[amapiano music]
- What's up, family?
- [cheering]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Thank you for coming through.
Thank you for your support.
- We just want to say
- To the Dlaminis...
[cheering]
And to the Wesleys...
[cheering]
Merry Chirstmas!
[Cheering]
This song is for you. DJ!
Yes!
Time is of the essence. You
don't want to waste too much
Yes!
- Okay, Cameron!
- Come!
[Cameron singing]
[Cameron and Thokozani singing]
- Yes, girl!
- Yeah!
- Hey! Hey! Hey!
- Hey!
Come on, now!
[upbeat Christmas music]
One of the best features
about this app is
you can request services from
plumbers, construction workers,
HVAC, electricians.
Basically all service providers
pertaining to household
chores and repairs.
We've got you.
It's like Rideshare, but,
- for freelance labor.
- Yeah.
And just like in
America, much like Uber,
it's going to be a hit
here in South Africa.
- That's right.
- Yeah.
Gugu.
Gentlemen,
if you'll excuse me, please.
I have a flight to catch
and I don't want to miss it.
Wait, a flight? What do you...
What do you mean by flight? Uhm.
Today, we're meant to be executg
the joint venture agreement.
What? Are you signing
before you leave, or...
I won't be signing.
- No?
- I have a few kinks
that I would like for us to iro,
but it is the 15th of
December, which means
we're well into our Christmas
sn here in South Africa.
So it'll have to wait until
well after the new year.
Now, about that flight.
- Don't want to be late.
- Wait.
- Gentlemen.
- Just... Themba, what's going on
- I must thank you, gentlemen.
- Don't worry about it.
- Have yourselves a merry Christ.
- Gugu.
Cheers.
Uhm, gentlemen, I'll
handle thi. Gugu.
Gugu!
What the hell was that?
Gugu. Gugu, what's really going?
I mean, you made me look
like a fool in there.
I don't know how many times
you want me to say this,
but I'm not interested.
You're not the only one who
bens from this family business.
- You know that, right?
- Yeah, I know that.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Tell me, what are you going to
o with the debt this generates?
Gugu, you remember how
they took care of me,
right, while I was at Howard?
Todd was my best friend
from business school.
Yeah, again, your best friend.
Chris and Todd are really
the best kind of people.
- I promise.
- Themba, I don't know these peoe
well enough to get into
business with them.
Besides, where's his brother?
Isn't he his business partner?
Chris is in the US, okay?
He's handling business
that sid, and he's busy.
Besides, this is Todd's baby.
Look, if we join forces with th,
I promise you, this could be
really lucrative for the family.
This app is massive.
You trust these people so much.
Why?
Because I don't trust Americans.
Please. You can trust
Todd. You can trust Chris.
How am I supposed to trust
peope that I don't even know?
People whose culture and
backgrd I'm not familiar with.
I'm sorry, Themba, but
my decision is final.
Okay, Gugu. Gugu.
Todd.
Listen, man, I'm so... I'm
so sorry about all of that.
Uhm, the attorneys?
They went outside to
hammer some deal points.
What happened with Gugu,
man? What's going on?
Don't worry about it. My
sister's just being a little.
A little difficult right now.
So what are you saying, man?
Is the deal off.? What's going?
No, no, no, it's not off. It's,
You know, I just... I
need to talk to her.
Yeah, I'll talk to her,
and I will give you a call.
Yeah, uhm...
- Themba, you...
- Yeah, I'll sort it out. Don't y
I'll sort it out.
Uhm, yeah.
Just wait.
[kwaito music]
Themba has asked us
to standby, right?
And, I mean, you know
him better than I do,
but I have a feeling that he mit
just be able to put this togeth.
This is a multi-million
Dollar revenue play,
and partnering with
Dlamini Holdings, man,
that's the fastest,
- most seamless way - Yeah.
For you to execute your
expansion on the continent.
Right. Yeah, they definitely
hae their foot in here, but
I don't know, man. I just
don't know what the hold.
You know? We're ready to move.
- [phone vibrating]
- Mm hmm.
- Oh.
- [phone vibrating]
- [phone vibrating]
- Here we go.
Here we go.
Alright, man, come on.
Talk to me nice,
Themba. What's going on?
Todd, bro, uhm...
Look, man, I'm going to
be straight up with you.
Uhm, she's not really
going for the idea,
but it's only because
she doesn't know you.
Okay? It's like...
You know how it is.
Business is like a
marriage sometimes,
you know, and she's just
not that comfortable
jumping straight into it after
t one or two dates. You know?
It's Christmas time, Themba.
We don't really have time
for a long courting session.
Themba,
how is she supposed to know us
or get to know us if we're litey
in two different continents?
Yeah. I thought about
that and I had an idea.
And just hear me out, okay?
What if you stayed,
and your family came to South
Aa for the Christmas holidays?
- What?
- You know, spending it here
in Durban, on the coast,
with my family? Of course.
Bro, you know, my mom.
She doesn't play that.
Christmas, every year at her ho.
It is a tradition.
That's not negotiable.
I understand, but I promise you,
as soon as they touch
down in South Africa,
everything will be taken care o.
And Thabo, we can fly you
back after the holidays,
just to lock in the deal, if ne.
My question is, how do we even w
that there would be
a deal to lock in?
Another good question.
Because I know my sister.
Alright. And you do realise
how big my family is, right?
Yeah, I do, and listen,
the bigger the better.
Do me a favor. You
go check with them
and get back to me, okay?
And look, Todd, I promise you,
if we can pull this off, it'll
be a Christmas to remembe.
There will be a deal.
Let's see how this goes.
Alright, man.
Okay, great.
[sighs]
[go-go music]
[phone vibrating]
Oh. [phone vibrating]
Hey, Todd. What's up?
Is Chris home yet?
I've been calling him and his
cell keeps going to voicema.
Not yet. He had a couple
of meetings downtown,
but he'll be home soon.
Is everything okay?
Yeah. Well, no.
I mean, everything is good, but,
Themba's sister, Gugu, inconveny
put the brakes on our deal.
The brakes? What
does that even mean?
It means I need Chris to
come out here and help me.
Wait, what? Todd, it's
almost the Christmas holid.
I know. I know, I know,
but as bad as I want to
come home for the holidays,
we've got to finish this deal.
So the Dlaminis have invited
us to Durban for the holidays.
Durban?
Durban? I thought you
were in Johannesburg.
No, I am, but typically this tie
of year, people come to Durban..
For the holidays to spend
Chriss out here on the coast.
Themba invited us to stay
with s family for Christmas.
Baby, think about it.
We're talking about
sand between our toes,
the Indian Ocean serenading
us for our first anniversary.
Come on, baby, what do you thin?
Babe, I'm not the one
you have to worry about.
Hey, I heard that.
Oh.
- Who is it?
- It's my baby.
- It's my son.
- Oh.
Oh, hey. What's
going on, famil?
- Hey.
- How are you doing?
How's Jo'burg treating you?
It's doing what
it's supposed t.
- Hey, nephew!
- Hey, Auntie Glo.
How do you feel about going
to South Africa for Christmas?
What?
That's a lot to take in.
And it's so last minute.
You know, I already decorated
the house on November 1st.
And what about Glo and Marcus?
It's their first anniversary.
Auntie Glo, Marcus,
everybody can come.
Even Miss Diane, if she wanted.
I know she's busy, but...
Oh.
What? I like her now.
- Yeah, girl, you better stop...
- Stop lying.
You know she's lying.
You can even invite uncle Jerom.
Oh, uncle Jerome is taking Mirae
on a Christmas Caribbean cruise.
Amen to that.
Isn't Durban on the Indian Ocea?
- Yeah.
- I hear it's beautiful there.
It's really nice.
Oh, man, it's so
beautiful, and it's warm.
How about that, honey? We
could be naked on the beach,
- Eeuw.
- Walk around doing nothing.
Isn't that where Cameron is
stug to get her fourth degree?
Yes. Yes, she's in Cape Town.
We should invite her for the ho.
Oh, yeah, that'd be great. I
know Cameron would love it he.
And I know Cydney can't make
it, but I talked to Trina,
and I talked to Chris, and
they said they're good to c.
So what do you guys
think? Mom? Pops?
Auntie Glo?
[upbeat music]
[airport announcement]
Ladies and gentlemen,
hello and welcome to King Shaka
International Airport in Durban.
The kingdom of the Zulus.
Welcome to Durban, South
Africa. What's up?
Alright. How are you doing, bud?
What's up, Mom?
Hey, what's happening?
Good to see you.
Where's Chris?
He had some meetings that
he could move around,
but he's going to meet us
here in a few days. Come here.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
So live
Oh, hey. How's it?
Your life Oh.
This is gorgeous.
Tomorrow will be okay
Oh. This is gorgeous.
Thank you so much, Auntie Sylvi.
[amapiano music]
It's so good to
see you, my bab.
Yeah, the Christmas holiday
couldn't have come sooner.
- Mmh.
- Huh?
- Couldn't agree with you more.
- Oh.
Somewhere in the city wasting
t, playing that loud music,
and doing whatever else
wannabe musicians do
that doesn't include following
the family tradition.
Look at Gugu and Themba.
Sorry. Did I hear correctly?
Look at Themba? What
are we looking at?
That you and Gugu were handling
the family business beautifully.
We actually have a lot of
great opportunities coming
in with the Wesleys.
- Yeah, growth is a great thing.
- Mm hmm.
You know, it is the
Christmas holiday,
so why don't we not talk shop
and just enjoy the moment?
Besides, I've been looking forwd
to dinner so what's the plan?
Oh, tonight we will
have a relaxed dinner.
And we start off early tomorrow
for our trip to the Midlands,
with our guests, of course.
- Guests?
- Mm hmm.
Lerato, did you get
them settled in alright?
Who?
And they're very excited
to spend Christmas with us.
Mm hmm.
Uhm... Who are our mysterious g?
Our guests are the Wesleys, sis.
The what?
The Wesleys.
Only because you didn't
know them that well, right?
So, I spoke to mom, spoke to da,
and asked them if they could
spend Christmas with us.
The day or the
whole... The whole
- holiday?
- Oh, no, no.
Every moment of every day.
You should be excited.
I have a feeling it's
going to be uhm...
'seal the deal' amazing.
Yo! Kel, coming in fast and
fur, 'cause Vin Diesel said,
- Yeah, yeah.
- Wait, guys. Oh, no. Oh.
Come on. The guests are
Africans living in America. So..
Yo, yo.
Uhm, Ankela, they
haven't dressed like this
in, what, three or four decades?
But they dress like
this. I did the research.
I watched all the movies,
Do The Right Thing,
and Malcolm X, Don't be
a menac, New Jack city.
Yeah. So shut your two-Dollar
ap before I make change.
- Jive turkey.
- Gosh.
- Bump it here. No?
- No, no, no.
- Hey? Put it here.
- Mom.
It's not too late to send
MalcoX back to Johannesburg
because we can do these
holidays without this.
That box, is that from Prince Z?
Oh, yes, yes.
How could I forget?
They invited us to spend
the 30th anniversary
of our country's
democracy with.
- Oh.
- Mm hmm.
Them, as in just us and them,
or them with the Wesleys?
Including the Wesleys.
Oh.
[upbeat music]
[upbeat music]
- Come here. One. Two. Three!
- Three!
[laughing]
I am falling in love with
this young man. He's so cute.
- Oh, Lerato.
- Okay.
He really is a sweetheart.
And I'm so happy that I
can truly enjoy him now,
because the first few months,
they were rough.
Really? In what way?
Honestly?
I suffered from
postpartum depression.
Oh, wow. I'm so sorry.
Thank you.
It caught me off guard.
I mean, I never thought that
something like that
would ever happen to me.
Not as bad as I wanted a baby.
But it did.
So how did you get through it?
Therapy,
and amazing support from Chris.
He was my rock. Truly.
I mean, during times where I...
I know that I wasn't the
nicest person to be around.
But I'm so grateful because now,
I can fully enjoy
this little blessing
That's beautiful, Trina.
Thank you.
[soft instrumental music]
To see what great
strides have been made
for black South Africans is ama.
Indeed. If you think about it,
we've only been able to own
these types of businesses
since the breakdown of
apartheid in the mid 90s.
Before then, you wouldn't have
seen us owning technology firms.
We are celebrating
the 30th anniversary
of the deconstruction
of apartheid this year.
Wow, just 30 years?
It feels much longer than that.?
To the ones it doesn't
impact, I would say yes,
but we count every second.
Yeah. I understand. I
understand completely.
So hopefully our kids
will join forces.
Let's hope so. Our boys get it,
but my Gugu is just very protece
of what we've
accumulated as a family.
She was older and
remembers the struggle,
and worries about the
risk that people will come
and take what we've built.
But it's very critical
for our children
to know that we are
stronger together.
I agree with you completely.
Nomusa, this has been a lovely.
We're so grateful that
you had us with you.
I'm so glad we have this
time to really connect.
Vusi and I are very
involved in the community.
What is success if it can be sh?
We lift as we climb, right?
We were going to let you rest,
but tomorrow, we go to
volunteer at the Zulu Museum
with our local orphanage and
host their annual Christmas par,
celebrating with the kids and
give them Christmas gifts.
Do you think you
would like to join us?
Well, if you'll have us, yes.
Family!
Cameron! Oh! Look
at you, baby girl.
Oh! Look at you.
Just like your mom.
Thank you, uncle B.
- Gene's strong, aren't they?
- Yeah, yeah.
Hey, Auntie. You look fabulous,
- Thank you.
- As always.
Welcome to the family.
Thank you.
- I'm so proud of you.
- Thank you.
- Hi.
- Hi. Cameron.
- Nice to meet you.
- Paris. Give me a kiss.
- Yes, girl.
- What's up?
- All the way in Africa!
- Africa.
- Hey! Hey! Hey!
- Anniversary looks good on you.
- Thank you.
- Oh, yeah. We appreciate it.
- Todd, - That's good.
- That car you have me in though.
- Oh, you got that skrr skrr?
I see you.
- Lots of money right there.
- Yeah, you know.
- We're working hard over there.
- Hey, Cameron.
[Christmas bells]
So delicious. How do
you say thank you?
Mmh.
Mm.
Todd tells me that
you have been running
Dlamini Industries
for almost a decade.
I have.
And since Themba graduated
from business school,
we've co-run the company togeth.
Legacy is very important.
That is so impressive.
I've always wanted to
start my own business.
It's just, starting a business
from scratch, that's...
That is very intimidating.
And, what business
would you like to start?
I've always loved dance.
Ever since I could walk, my motr
has had me in a dance class.
Truthfully,
that's my passion.
Well, I believe if you're truly
passionate about something,
then you should absolutely purs.
That makes sense.
- Passion fuels your motivation.
- Success.
Exactly.
To success.
To success.
So why did Themba never
tell me he had a brother?
Oh, I think Themba was
afraid to admit that
his brother has all the good ge.
Yeah, I think he was afraid
to admit that his brother is
a lot more handsome.
The smile, the charm.
- Yeah? Mm hmm.
- Mm hmm.
So I hear you're studying at
the University of Cape Town.
Is that cool?
Yeah, I just finished
my fourth degree.
Wow.
That was in Thailand, but
- I was born in Germany.
- Nice.
- Excuse me.
- Oh, I speak a little German.
- I see.
- Just a little German.
- I'm impressed.
- Yeah.
So what is it you do?
School. She does a
whole lot of school.
- Excuse me. I'm looking for my.
- Okay.
Baby!
Where is my honey bear?
A lot of school, huh?
- I have a thirst for knowledge.
- I see.
What about you?
I make music. Yeah, have
you ever heard of amapiano?
- Have I heard of it?
- Yeah.
- Oh, yeah. I absolutely love it.
- You do?
- Yeah.
- That's a lie.
Since when have you ever loved?
Since I studied in Cape Town!
- Oh, okay.
- Todd,
- mind your business!
- Okay!
That's amazing, though.
You should come down to the stu.
- Studio?
- Yeah, I have a studio.
- You've got a studio?
- Yeah.
I'd love that.
- You would?
- Yeah, while I'm here.
You just let me know when.
For sure.
Can I walk you the rest of the?
I mean, it's a beautiful
day ou. You are looking
fantastic.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
I'll let you lead the way.
[whimsical instrumental]
Oh, wait, wait, wait. Ms
Sylvia, you have to go this.
- No, I look skinnier
this way. k - Oh.
- Here we go. Ladies.
- Tea!
- Today was nice, huh?
- It was wonderful.
I didn't know what to expect,
but it really touched me.
I just remember when
the boys and Cydney and
Cameron were little,
- and we had so much love to giv.
- Gosh.
I mean, my heart would
just burst with joy
when they came into the room.
Oh, baby. You were superwoman.
I miss feeling that way, you kn?
What can I do to be
supportive in this?
I don't know yet,
but I know something is missing.
And now that we're both retired,
we could do something together.
Well, I can think of
a little something
we could do together right now.
Come here, Mrs Wesley.
Yeah!
- Kissy.
- Kissy, kissy.
What's up?
- Hey, baby.
- How are you? How was shopping?
You know?
It was fun.
- Yeah?
- It was really fun.
- You were hanging out with Gugu?
- Mm hmm.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
Cool. Did she uh...
Did she say anything?
About your deal?
No, baby, she didn't.
You know, I just don't get it.
You know, I'm kind
of inspired by her.
- For holding up my deal?
- No.
Kudos to her for
knowing what she wants.
It sounds like it's
not about Gugu at all.
- Well. Well, it is, - Hmm.
- But also... uh... me.
- Mmh.
I'm thinking to do something
other than just dance and
choreography and teaching.
Are you thinking about
retiring the tutu?
Well, I'm thinking about longev,
and what it is I really want to.
Now, I am so thankful to God.
I'm so grateful that I was able
to leave corporate America,
and really follow my
dreams and my passion
into dancing and choreography
but maybe I ought to...
Maybe I can do something more, ,
open up a dance school.
I don't know, I'm just...
I'm trying to figure it out.
Well, whatever you decide to do,
whenever you decide to do it,
you've got the support of
myself and my entire tribe.
Take your time. You'll
get it together.
You always do.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
I could strip.
You know? Be a stripper.
- Mmmh.
- Mmmh?
Uhm, I mean, about that...
- But I don't... I don't...
- You don't, uh... What?
I don't... I don't remember
you dancing like that.
You are so silly.
Todd.
Todd Wesley, I love you.
[laughing]
[singing traditional song]
[singing traditional song]
We're very privileged to
have yu with us this evening,
The Wesleys as well as the Dlam.
You are most welcome here.
Please stay forever.
[laughing]
[clapping]
[indistinct chatter]
Wait for them.
[indistinct chatter]
[sentimental music]
[sentimental music]
[sentimental music]
[clears throat]
You mind if I join you?
[scoffs]
So, my name is Marcus.
What's your name?
- Dingane.
- Dingane.
Well, it's nice
to meet you, Di.
Uhm...
So why you are out
here all by yourself?
I think you can clearly see
that I'm not interested.
In what, the Christmas party?
[scoffs]
Why?
Why not?
You know, the question is,
why should I be?
Why? Why should I be interested?
So that I can make the
rich people feel good
about helping us little,
poor orphans and then what?
I...
I... I... I'm sorry.
I don't understand.
Yeah. See, that's...
That's exactly where the proble.
You will never understand.
You see, you're going to leave,
and we're going to stay here.
And then next year
is when we are going to see you.
Besides,
it's not like I ever get
what I want for Christmas.
[sentimental music]
[sentimental music]
Oh, that boy sleeps
just like his daddy.
I used to think that Chris was
g to be a boxer when he grew up,
because of the way he slept
wits when he was little.
That's right.
- I was like... I was like...
- All over the place.
Did you always know you
wanted to have kids?
Well, I never had a
desire 'til I met Sylvia.
Then we had one and I wanted mo.
I always knew I
wanted to be a mother.
I love children. I love
taking care of people.
Sylvia was everybody's
mother in our friend group.
- Oh, yeah?
- Mm.
But she was also my
designated driver.
You gave me no choice.
We didn't have
Rideshare back t.
I couldn't just throw
you in the backseat.
- You'd hop out.
- Throw?
- Okay. Okay.
- Yeah. How about that shelter?
Sylvia and I had such a good ti.
Yeah, we did too.
I don't think I've
done anything like that
since I was in the military.
Yeah, I saw you talking to that
young man with a bad attitude.
Dingane?
He didn't have a bad attitude.
Well, what do you call it, Marc?
What?
I tried to offer the
young man some dinner.
You know what he told me?
You eat it.
Oh.
- That is not funny.
- Come on. Come on, baby.
He's just feeling a
little lost right now.
I mean, think about it.
That boy has been in
there all this life.
He's watched these rich people e
and go and kids come and
go, and he's still there.
And, God,
I know what it feels
like to be not wanted.
But, uhm...
he'll be alright.
He just needs somebody to be fom
what you've been for me.
Alright.
Okay. That was good.
- You got me.
- But he's a good kid. He is.
[amapiano music]
[amapiano music]
Of course, I miss you, baby!
Huh?
Yes.
Yes.
Ooh, yes, baby!
Oh, my god!
Stop!
Mm hmm.
I love you too.
I said I love you too!
Alright, I'll see you soon.
Ah, you know what? You
are such a buzzkill!
This is your, party?
Mhm!
Two shots left. One
for me, one for you.
- Mm hmm?
- Mm hmm.
I still paid for this shot.
Oh, well, then cheers to you.
A smile!
I know how to smile, okay?
And you don't
have to worry abo.
This is your party. You should
o and play with your friends.
I'm a grown woman. I
can take care of myself.
- Okay, okay.
- Bye!
You could try to have some
fun. You know that, right?
I'm having fun. See?
No, no, that's not going to do.
- Put that down.
- What?
We're going to the dance
floor. We're in the club.
What?
- Oh, gosh.
- Come on!
[amapiano music]
- Hi.
- Hi!
Need a little fresh air?
Yeah. How about you?
I just got off the phone with m.
Mm.
She's in London right now.
Just telling me how proud
she is that I'm here,
spending time with my
family at Christmas.
- I hadn't seen them in a while.
- Yeah.
You know, I think it's
pretty cl that you guys
were able to come meet up in my.
This is your city?
It's my city.
- Oh?
- Mm hmm.
Alright. Then you must be a coo.
A cool cat?
Yeah, like, a cool person.
Someone with a vibe. A groove.
I know what a cool cat is,
I'm just messing with you.
- Thank you. Thank you for that.
- Alright, alright.
- That made me feel very America.
- Uh huh?
Yeah.
Yeah, it was cute though, I mea,
you were about to give
me a whole dissertation
on the definition of a cool cat.
Okay, I'm taking it back.
You're no longer a cool cat.
So, random question.
- Yes?
- Do you sing, by any chance?
- Sing? Sing.
- Yeah.
I mean, I dabble.
- You dabble?
- Yeah.
For real?
Then you have to come to the st.
- Are you being for real?
- I'm being for real, yes.
I mean, I don't... You know...
I don't blow.
I'm no Aretha.
Okay, well, the thing is, I...
I'm preparing for this
Christmas festival right now
and I just lost one of
my performers, so...
You know.
I was thinking that...
What?
That you could, maybe, jump on?
Like...
Help me out?
It is Christmas.
I don't know.
You know, it might not work out
the way you want it to work out.
I sing in the shower.
Like, that's
where I do my best.
I'll make you sound good.
You don't take "no"
for an answ, do you?
I don't.
I promise you.
I can make anything sound good.
Yeah?
Yeah.
- Okay.
- Where's the studio?
Baby, this is nice!
- Yeah, this is crazy.
- Mm hmm.
I don't know what I would
withou here on the holidays.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Well, I know what you couldn't.
- Hey, wait! Yo! Yo!
- What?
I'm tired! Junior
needs a break!
Fine.
- Yeah.
- But only ten minutes, okay?
Yeah, I'll let you know.
Ten minutes.
We'll see.
Don't get it.
No, no, no!
Hey, hey, hey.
- Ah, baby!
- I've got to take it.
I've got to take it!
It's Themba.
- I've got to take this.
- Okay, baby.
- Okay, okay.
- Two minute warning, though.
What's up, man?
What's going on?
Yo, Todd!
Who's Lalela? What
does that mean?
It means "listen" .
Okay, so the cars are going to e
at your place to pick you up inw
to take us to the 30th anniversy
celebration, which will be at,
none other than, the Zulu Kingd.
Zulu Kingdom?
Bro, we don't have clothes for.
Just check outside your
door. I'll see you there.
What's up?
Uh, I'm about to go and see.
[inquisitive drum]
Whoa!
Oh, wow!
Ooh!
I bet it cost a lot of Vibraniu.
[Zulu chanting]
[ululation]
[drumming]
Hey, Dr Watkins.
It's Dr Wesley.
Yeah, I have a second.
Yes, I took that examination.
Okay.
Huh?
There's... There's a what?
Uh huh.
Uh huh.
No, no, no, I'm fine. Uh...
Thank you for letting me know.
Of course.
We'll talk soon.
If I'm not mistaken,
I think Marcus wants
to start a family
with Glo.
And I know my girl.
She's not down for that.
Her philosophy about children it
they're good to borrow and retu.
Not to have any of your own.
Brian.
Huh?
Oh, yes. I'm sorry, baby.
You seem a little
preoccupied. Anything wrong?
No, no, no. Everything's fine.
It's probably the
time change, you know?
Okay.
Well, when you're ready to
telle what's bothering you,
I just want you to
know that I know you,
I feel you and
I'm here for you.
Whenever you're ready.
[thunder]
[upbeat dance music]
I'll tell you what, man. I'd
better slow down on these.
- Yeah?
- They're so good.
They're going to make me sweat!
- Yeah?
- They're going to make me water.
No, Todd! Don't!
- Yo! What?
- We're in South Africa, man!
No, no, listen to me.
Don't ever repeat that joke
while you're here, okay?
- What? Okay.
- Don't do it!
- It was a good joke.
- Take that back with you.
- Fair enough, man.
- What?
This trip has been
above and beyond, man.
Yeah, man, it's a pleasure.
Don't even mention it.
No, man, we appreciate
it. The pleasure is ours.
- Yeah.
- Thank you so much for hosting.
- This is so much fun.
- Any time.
I'm curious though. Did you
hapo hear from Gugu on anything?
Uh, she has...
She's been as stubborn as ever.
But you know what?
Don't worry about it.
She'll come around.
She'll sign.
I feel like there's something
you're not telling us.
No, it's nothing. Trust me.
You know what? We did not
come o this fine establishment
to talk about my sister, okay?
So can we enjoy the night?
- Can we have some fun?
- Yes!
- Yes!
- Thank you!
Can we please enjoy ourselves, ?
Yes! Damn, I'm sorry!
I don't get many nights
without the baby like this.
- I thought I heard my nephew fu.
- You heard him?
- Yeah.
- I'm sorry.
No seriously, I'm sorry.
Because he's a little more
fussy than he normally is...
because he's
teething right now.
- Oh, man.
- It's a lot.
I decided to give Paris the nigf
The grandparents have
him for the night.
So with that, can we please
toat and get this party started?
- Okay!
- I agree.
- Okay, no more business.
- Yeah.
Let's do it. Boom.
- Boom, boom, boom. Fun.
- Fun, Todd! Fun!
Gang up on Todd
then! That's crazy!
[upbeat dance music]
Girl!
I thought we came here to party.
I've been looking all over for!
I'm sorry, you must
think I'm such a fool.
No, no, no!
I'm not... No.
What is going on, Lerato?
Nothing, nothing. I can't
beliee I'm crying in here.
- I feel so silly.
- Okay, no. Stop it.
If there's anybody in here
who understands emotions,
believe me, it's me.
Here.
Don't downplay your feelings.
Whatever you're feeling,
and I mean whatever,
it's valid.
Thank you.
It's just...
I can't believe one innocent
cot triggered me like that.
One mention of your baby and...
How long have you been trying?
Our entire marriage.
I'm starting to feel like
theres something wrong with me.
Girl, we have so much more
in common than you think.
It took quite some time
for Chris and me...
It took some time before
we got pregnant with CJ.
And it was during those dark
mos that, I promise you,
I was feeling exactly the
way you feel right now.
- Really?
- Absolutely!
Oh, my gosh!
I thought about it all the
time. I mean, it was on my mind,
constantly.
But, you know what?
I did some research.
There are so many ways
that you can conceive.
And, honestly, even though I
dit end up going that route,
at that time,
it gave me so much hope.
And I can share that with you.
- That's so sweet, thank you.
- Of course.
- Oh, gosh.
- Okay, listen. Hey!
We're family now, right?
Yeah!
Thank you.
[laughing]
Get back to having your fun.
But, you girls, do
not do anything crazy.
At least not while
I'm out here.
I love you.
Oh, my God! I have to
put Mama Syl on payroll.
[laughing]
[phone vibrating]
Oh, I'm so sorry,
ladies. Real quick.
Uh, real quick. Sorry, ladies.
I've got to take this.
Okay.
Thabo, what's going on,
man? Is everything okay?
Todd, man, I've been
trying to get hold of you.
I'm sorry, the signal's
been spotty out here.
Uh, what's going on?
Hey, please tell me you bypassed
Themba and got that thing signe?
Wesley Technologies has been ha.
What?
Yeah!
It doesn't seem to be linked
to our system, however,
it could've potentially exposedr
customers' personal information,
aiding in a what? Corporate sca,
if you know what I mean. So,
I'm just trying to assess
the damage right now.
Alright, what does that mean fo?
Todd, this means you keep
it on the low, please.
And keep this in the family.
No one should know about this.
I'll get back to you as soon asl
find out more information, okay?
But in the meantime, please
keep your line clear, Todd.
Alright man, for sure.
I've got to call Chris and
let m know what's going on.
Alright, cool. Chat later.
See you later. [keypad tone]
Hey, how did this happen?
I have no clue.
[voicemail] Hello, no one is
available to take your call.
Please leave a message
after the tone.
- Hey, yo, - Okay.
Have you talked to Chris?
I tried to call him last night
but when I didn't get him,
I just assumed it was because
of the timezone difference.
I've got to try again.
Okay, I'll dial the house.
Damn.
Oh, wow.
What is it?
There's a major blizzard
on the East Coast.
The whole thing's
shut down. No service.
No flights in or out.
What am I supposed to do now?
You'll figure it out.
Bro, we're far enough.
You need to tell me why you
brought me all the way here.
You know we need to finish
with the gift wrapping, right?
Thabo just called me,
and he said we might be dealingh
a potential hack with our compa.
Are you serious?
Yes, bro.
And now I can't
get hold of Chr.
He's going to
think it's my fau.
Geez.
Okay, look.
Whatever we do, just make sure
t none of this gets to Gugu.
Because if she finds out
about, I promise you,
this is the perfect reason to
shut this whole thing down.
You have my word. I
won't say anything.
Oh, there he is.
Hey!
I thought I'd find
you hiding some place.
So, you came back?
Yeah.
I made myself very clear when
Id you that I'm not interested.
Why did you come back?
Well, I came back to just
propey introduce you to my wife.
This is Gloria.
You offered me your dinner.
Okay, look. What do you say, uh,
we just get out of
here for a little bit?
Uh, you...
[scoffs]
- Excuse me, - [chuckles]
can you excuse us for a second?
Marcus, can I talk
to you for a second?
Alright.
What?
What are you doing?
Well, I asked if I
could have permission
to take him out for some ice cr.
Marcus, he hasn't
even apologised to me.
Oh, so you're
condoning bad behavior.
Gloria.
Come on.
I just think he
deserves the sa. Look.
Just the same grace you gave me.
Remember that?
- Look at him.
- Fine.
Fine.
Fine.
Oh, you're so sweet.
That's why I love you.
Come on.
- I'm in the zone.
- You are in some zone.
I feel like my vocal cords
have loosened up now.
Have they?
[singing out of tune]
It was just that one little pie.
Should I play what
we've done s?
Mhm.
Are you ready?
- Mhm.
- Okay.
[song starts playing]
Time is of the essence, you
don't wanna waste too much
- Wow.
- Mm hmm.
[song continues]
- That's me?
- That's you.
It's so great to be able
to hang out with someone
who's on the same vibe as I am.
Because everyone else
around me is just so
annoyingly left-brained.
I feel like my creativity
is starving, you know?
Tell me about it.
Sometimes I feel like
I'm the family outcast.
I don't know, I just...
I don't think
they understand me
for learning and traveling the.
There's just so much to see.
Yeah.
Do you know what you
want to do though?
No.
Yeah. You know when
you mentioned outcast?
I get that.
You know, me being
different... It's...
It's almost cost me my
relationp with my father.
Wow.
I'm sure he's changed now.
With all of this, now, right?
No.
No, I can still see it.
I...
I know that he still hates the t
that I won't join my siblings
in the family business.
But for the sake of my mother,
he won't fully disown me.
Even after seeing what
an incree artist you are?
Yeah, he's never
seen me perfor.
- He hasn't heard any of my song.
- Are you kidding me?
I wish I was.
But hey, look, that's
a story for another day.
Right? So, what do
you say, you and I, we
head back and finish that track
while you are still in your zon?
Yeah?
Yeah.
- I am in my zone.
- You are in a zone.
That's for sure.
Thank you so much, ma'am.
[Dingaan singing in Zulu]
[Dingaan and Marcus sing in uni]
Hey!
Eat your ice cream.
What do you think about this on?
Much like the other 14
items you've shown me.
You're just a ray of
sunshine t, aren't you?
You know, you're not
being any help at all.
You know what? How
about we make a deal?
Yes?
I'll help you if you help me.
What do you think about the Wes?
I haven't decided yet.
Okay, you're prolonging
this and I don't know why.
And I don't know why you're
pushing for this so much.
I mean, we are fine just
the way that we are.
What do we need to expand for?
If anything, we should be invitg
Thokozani into the family busin.
Uh, Thokozani hates the family
business and you know that.
Gugu, I'm encouraging you
to think about somebody other
than yourself, for once.
Oh, now you're
just insulting m.
[scoffs]
Everything I've ever
done has always been
in the best interests of this f.
Okay, but who says you
have to make that decision?
We're a team.
Yes, and every team has its lea.
- The...
- Mm.
Okay, you know what? Let's...
Why? What is it that you
don't e about the Wesleys?
I didn't say I don't like them.
I just said I don't trust
them. It's really that simple.
Okay, but you're not
even trying to trust them.
Seriously, Gugu.
Every decision that you've
made, regarding this business,
I have supported.
When are you going to show
me that kind of support?
Look, I get it.
This is all you have, right?
But it's not all I have.
And I'm just begging you to
understand that and trust me.
I'm trying to trust you.
And believe me, I've
tried to get to know them.
But not really.
Uh, but you can,
actually.
So, they've invited
me to family night,
and I've been saying
that they're like family.
So why don't you tag
along? See for yourself.
Let me see that shoe.
Uh, I haven't decided.
I might decide not to come.
[upbeat Christmas music]
I think it's
better with that o.
Alright!
It is time for the
Wesley talent show!
[cheering]
Remember, if you're
good, you get this.
Yeah!
And if you're really,
really ba, you get this.
- Boo!
- And I'll push you off.
So let's kick it off,
right? Are you ready?
Hark! The herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King!
Joyful, all the nations rise
Join the chorus of the skies
With the angelic host proclai
Christ is born in Bethlehem
[cheerful Christmas music]
- Jah Rastafari, I and I...
- These people have money...
Is that what I think it is?
What are you doing?
I'm so sorry, my queen.
I didn't mean to
offend you, I'.
No, no, no!
Light that up!
- Yeah?
- Yeah!
Hell yeah! What are you
talking about? Come on!
Yes!
[upbeat Christmas music]
[vigorous traditional drumming]
[Christmas bells]
[gentle music]
I think Gugu had a good
time to. Don't you?
Oh, yeah. Definitely.
- But she'd never admit it thoug.
- No way.
That's Gugu.
I feel like she's being so
selfh about this whole thing.
I mean, she's making
it all about her,
and when have we not done
what Gugu wants to do?
Yeah, right?
Maybe she's right.
Todd did reach out to you
about the Wesley breach.
Okay, so I just need you to kno,
- just for future
reference, - Mm.
I hate it when you're right.
- Which is every day?
- Yeah, every day.
- Mhm.
- All the time.
Because you're supposed to be
- on my side.
- Oh, no!
- And you're never on my side.
- I am! I am!
- Say you're on my side.
- Stop! I am on your side!
- Uhm...
- No, I want the details.
So, tell me. How are you
going o make it up to me?
- What?
- No, remember,
- Okay, okay.
- You said we weren't coming her,
and now we're here, so
you've go make it up to me.
What is this?
Hi.
And what are you talking about?
Wesley Technologies got hacked.
Yeah, Todd mentioned it.
But they're still gathering
det. He's on top of it.
So you knew about this and
didn't think to mention it to m?
What? A breach that they don't
n have any information about?
Also, to you?
With the way you've been
going n about the Wesleys?
Yeah, that definitely
would've d this joint venture.
Are you telling me that
you are still willing to go
through with this joint venturen
with this breach that has happe?
Something that you even
didn't think was necessary
to tell your own business partn?
This! This is exactly
what I was fearing.
You are letting them
in to kick me out.
I wouldn't do that to you.
Themba, why does it seem like
ye forgotten that our family
has worked so hard to get
to where we are today?
To risk it all, like this?
I'm glad I didn't
sign those pa.
Tell the Wesleys to have a merry
Christmas and send them back ho.
The Wesleys are coming to
art dy at the orphanage.
Yeah.
Uhm...
she's going to have
to tell them herself.
You know I love our Cameron,
but somebody needs to tell thatl
that she sounds like a stray
cat getting stomped on.
- [chuckles]
- Absolutely.
You're not even
listening to what I said!
And what I just said
was really funny.
I'm sorry, baby.
What's going on?
Well, I, uhm...
I got a call from my doctor ear.
Your doctor?
Yeah, I'm sure
it's nothing, bu.
He's saying there's
a discrepancy in the results
from my prostate exam.
Like what?
He didn't say.
But he definitely said he
wanted to seek a second opinion.
It, uhm...
I...
I don't know. When you get
a cal like that, you start
having all these thoughts
racing through your head.
Especially when dad...
succumbed to prostate
cancer. He had cancer, so...
I can't believe you've been
deag with this all by yourself!
Father God.
We come to You
for protection
and wholeness.
For we know that with You,
anything can be made whole.
So, I ask You
to remove the fear and doubt.
And fill us with
faith and wellness.
For we know that You're
a doer of many things.
And for that, we
are forever grateful
Yes.
For all our many blessings.
- We thank you, God.
- Thank You.
- Amen.
- Amen.
Almighty
Bless Africa
Hey, Todd, man. Check this out.
So, no material
data or information
was compromised, right?
However, it was an
innocuous breach.
And you won't believe
who's behind it.
Who?
Hey, T!
Please, tell me that was
good news about the breach.
Pretty good news, actually.
- I know a few things.
- How did you get it sorted?
It's actually a funny story.
We've never actually had
anything like this happen befor.
So, I called Thabo
and had him research to
figure out a few things.
And he was able to get down
to how the breach started
in the first place.
- Okay, that's great.
- Yeah.
Even better, he figured out
who was behind the breach.
And what did you find?
You know, I don't
think that's important.
I think the most important thing
is that it's been resolve.
- Right?
- Right.
While that's
definitely importa,
it's definitely not the most
important thing to address.
Perhaps the most important
thing to address is
the fact that you
were behind the hack.
Gugu initiated the breach.
No, that's ridiculous
because Gugu would never do
She'd never do that. She...
Would you? Gugu?
Gugu, did you do this?
Gugu, why would
you do that to us?
Why? We've been
nothing but nice to you.
All we were trying
to do was build.
I wanted to show you
that if you were to go ahead
with this joint venture,
you'd leave me behind.
And I wasn't wrong.
You withheld crucial
information from me.
And even made me
look like I was crazy
for even having concerns.
I was afraid of losing the one
thing that I was most certain o.
And that is us, Themba.
- Because we're the partnership.
- So, this was a test?
Honestly, I can't
believe that you did this.
This is ridiculous. You
have gone way too far.
And I'm so embarrassed,
Todd, by all of this.
Listen, Todd, I'm really,
really sorry about this, man.
Yeah, man. Me too.
But you know, what I've always
loved about you, Cameron,
is that you never give up.
Girl, you make me want more.
- I love you.
- I love you.
Gugu, what's wrong?
I think I made a huge
error in judgement, guys.
What do you mean, Gugs?
I initiated the hack
into Wesley Technologies.
What?
I didn't intend any
malice with the hack.
I just wanted to test the guys.
To see how they'd react
in a potential crisis.
And just as I suspected,
they left me out
of the whole thing.
No one, not a single person,
not even my own brother
told me anything.
But, Gugu
you haven't exactly made
yoursef available to them either.
- Mm hmm.
- She's got a point.
Fair enough. You're right.
- But I guess I was afraid.
- Afraid of what?
Of being pushed out
of my own company.
Of being left out of
important decisions.
I mean, let's be honest, guys.
When men get together, we
women are always left out.
And how can I be left
out of my own company?
I swear I'm having a
flashback because I get it.
You do?
Alright, I'm going to
tell you ladies something.
But I'm going to need
you to keep it right here.
Because if you say anything,
Trina, I'm going to deny it.
- Okay.
- Sure, sure.
Okay.
My cousins
are truly amazing beings.
They believe in love,
progress and family.
And if you don't know
this by now, girl,
we don't just invite
everybody around here.
You are part of our family.
You couldn't be in
business with better people.
That's just the truth, okay?
Now, they're still men.
So, we're going to have
to wrangle them back.
- Mm hmm.
- But that's why we got you, Gug.
I know you're
going to check th.
Like you always do my husband.
And the ladies gave Gugu grace.
Bring it in, sister.
[warm hearted music]
Oh, that's true. Hold on,
baby. I'll be right ba.
Hey, Dr Watkins.
Hello, Dr Wesley. I do
apologise for the delayed.
I've been so busy
these past few days.
Yeah. No, I understand.
I'm just happy that
I got you on the line.
So, what's going on?
I wanted to let you know
that there was an issue
with the lab results we
discussed a few days ago.
An issue? What kind of issue?
Well, the test itself was fault.
Brian, you're in good health.
Although your
cholesterol was higher
- than I'd like to see.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Wait, wait. So, you mean
my prostate is fine?
- Yes.
- Oh, God. Yes!
That's excellent. Thank you,
Do. Thank you. Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas, Dr Wesley.
- Yeah, Merry... Happy...
What's going on?
Is everything okay?
It's better than okay.
Everything is great.
I just got a call from Dr Watkid
apparently, my test
results were wrong.
My health is perfect.
Oh, that's amazing.
I told you. I told you God got.
Baby, this is beautiful.
You know I'd do a little
something for the queen.
- Thank you.
- Mm hmm.
Can you believe that we've
only been married for a year?
It feels just like yesterday.
- Time flies when you're having.
- True.
- But you know what?
- What's up?
Let's take it to the
beginning where it all began.
- To the beginning?
- Yes.
- Yes.
- You put your drink down.
I put mine down.
Like that wasn't just
a couple of years ago.
Hold this.
- Oh! The brown liquor?
- Oh!
- Oh, okay.
- Is that what we're doing?
- That's what's happening.
- Okay.
For you, and that's for me.
- Oh, yeah?
- Yes.
- Some things never change.
- Okay.
To my love. When we
met, we were a hot mess.
But coming to my
best friend's house,
seeking refuge during Christmas,
that was the best decision
I ever made because
we became fast friends.
And then best friends.
And now, I'm sitting here in
Durban, South Africa
with the love of my life.
- And baby, I am beaming with jo.
- Mmh.
- Todd Wesley.
- Yeah?
- Cheers - Cheers.
To forever with you.
- Absolutely.
- Happy anniversary, my love.
- Happy anniversary.
- Happy anniversary.
- Up to it.
- Up to it?
- Down to it.
- Down to it?
- Yes, sir.
- Oh, my God.
Mmh.
Mmh!
[Christmas bells]
Aunty, don't tell me you brought
wrapping paper from your home.
You know I did. Thank you, baby.
- Can I ask you something?
- Always. What's going on?
Do you think I'm
all over the place?
Your words, not mine.
I'm serious.
I think you're still young.
I just turned 30.
30? Damn!
Okay! I mean...
I'm just kidding. You're still.
God, if I could do 30
again, the things I'd do.
Mmh. That's just it, honestly.
I feel like I'm
doing too many things.
Why don't you make a plan
to do something and stick
to it? Something that...
that makes you happy.
I'm still learning that lesson.
Really?
So, I guess I have something
to look forward to when I...
When I'm old.
Old?
Tell me. Are you
still mad at Themba?
Because if you are
you were wrong for
what you did to him.
But, Gugu, you are amazing.
You're great at what
you do. So is Themba.
Your brother put in
lots of time and energy
starting the business
venture of the Wesleys.
He only approached you when he
was certain it would be grea.
I'm proud of all of you.
All of you.
I was so concerned
about your ability
to provide a decent
life for yourself.
But you're doing very
well for yourself.
I must not let my expectations
of what I wanted for you
to cloud what you
have accomplished.
All we want is for
you all to be happy.
We love you.
You're going to come
watch my performance?
Yep.
But you've never come
to see me perform.
There's a first time
for everything, son.
Okay, now, DJ TK.
Excuse me.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
I really feel bad
about what I did.
I hate how I brought
shame upon you,
and embarrassed you like that.
You didn't deserve it.
You're right, I didn't.
I know you'd never
steer me wrong.
I should've given you a fair
chance and an opportunity.
And for that, I was wrong.
I guess I was afraid
and I needn't be.
Because you were right, the
Wesleys are good people.
Can you forgive me? Please.
I really want to make this righ.
I am.
And it's Christmas. Can't I
get a free pass already? Please?
I mean, I would go
down on my knees.
But my outfit is cute, you know.
Ah, come on, Young T.
Dude, wow. You've...
I haven't been called
Young T in a very long time.
My rap days are far behind me.
Okay. Is it working, though?
- Apology accepted.
- Yes.
Thank you.
- Truce?
- Truce.
- Bring it in. Truce.
- Come here.
He shared with me that they
finally lifted that travel advi.
So, he should be jumping
on a flight this afternoon
right after the
concert to come here.
Ah, of course. Todd,
look who's here.
Hey. Uhm, Merry Christmas.
- Hey.
- Hi.
Well, I'm going to let
you guys talk, okay?
Alright. Uhm...
What's going on?
Todd, I owe you an apology.
I'm sorry I hacked
into your business.
- We're really, really sorry abo.
- No. No.
It was me, really. All of it.
My insecurities. My jealousy.
Here I am not wanting to
create a joint venture with you
because I don't know you.
Yet, I'm the one who
cannot be trusted.
Look, Gugu, if I may.
In a very small way, I can
see where you're coming from.
And uhm, we're still family.
Thank you. That is
what I've been saying.
- Come on, man.
- Thank you.
Hey, look. It's water
under the bridge.
But I do appreciate
you saying that.
I hope you really mean that
because I'd really like
to go back to the deal,
if it's still on the table.
And that's if
you'll still have us.
Oh, yeah. It's
definitely on the table.
I haven't even
updated Chris ye.
So, if we can get
this thing signed,
- I'd look like a king.
- Right here.
We did get Kofi just
to update the dates.
But otherwise, that's the
original deal that we agreed on.
It definitely is.
I mean, there's no
time like the present.
Do you guys have a pen?
- Oh, please tell me you have a.
- I think I have one.
I do. Uhm...
- Right here.
- Thank you.
There aren't any
takebacks on this, right?
No.
Well, if you take your
time, I might just change...
No, I'm joking. No takebacks.
Hey. Okay.
No takebacks. It looks
like we have a deal.
And I believe that
makes us partners.
- Merry Christmas, partner.
- Merry Christmas.
Come on, bring it in.
- Ah!
- Oh!
You couldn't be left out.
No, of course not, bro.
- Thank you so much, man.
- Hey, man. It's love.
- Thank you.
- Awesome!
Ah, hey!
What's up, man?
How are you doing?
- Fantastic.
- It's good to see you.
- Come on in.
- Thank you.
- Hey!
- Hey, Brian!
- How are you doing?
- I'm so good.
How are you doing, my brother?
- Hi.
- Hi!
- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.
Good to see you.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Hey, Paris and Ankela.
Follow me, guys.
Ankela! Ankela! Here!
[Ankela screaming]
Ankela, are you holding
a shoe? What are you...
- What's the matter?
- What's wrong?
Okay, look. I've never been
somewhere like this before and
I don't think
that I belong her.
Do you know what I
learned the other day?
I learned that "Dingane"
means one who searches.
And if anybody could tell you
about searching, it's me.
Before I met Gloria, I...
I didn't know anything
except wandering.
I just was out there by myself.
I couldn't even tell you
what I was searching for.
But then uhm...
Then I met Gloria
and the Wesleys.
And uhm...
They saw me.
They showed me kindness.
And they showed me love.
They showed me what
family really is.
And we can't think of anybody
that's more deserving
of that than you.
You know, you two are the
best people I've ever met.
- Do you want to tell him?
- Tell me what?
How would you feel about
coming home with us to DC?
Do you mean that you
want to adopt me?
We'd love to be your parents.
- Are you being for real right n?
- Yes.
Yes.
Hey, Jerome. Merry Christmas.
Are you having fun on
your Caribbean Cruise?
Do you miss me? I know you do.
Yeah, we miss you really badly.
- Hold on. Who's that?
- Oh, hell no!
I love you. Merry Christmas.
Always hitting on people.
Okay. Can I get your
attention, everyone?
Uhm, Sylvia and I
have an announcement.
We
Are going to open a community
centre for the arts.
And as soon as we get back home,
we're going to start
the proceedings.
- Ah, man.
- That's awesome.
We are talking singing, dancing,
theatre, fine arts, you name it.
Ryan, Todd told us that
you wanted to open
your own dance studio.
Well, I wanted to know
if you'd be interested
in doing your dance
school at the arts centre.
Uhm, Mama Sylvia,
I would love that.
That sounds perfect.
Thank you both so much.
Being here reminds us
that we have so much
to be thankful for.
And not to take a
day for granted.
We have been so blessed.
And it's our responsibility
- to bless others.
- That's true.
And many others with
this arts centre.
So, family, I'll need you
to roll up your sleeves,
because it's going to take a
village to make this happen.
- Did you hear me?
- Yes!
- We got you, Aunty.
- Okay.
Okay, family. This has been
everything. Thank you so much.
But, we have to go.
- Cam, we have sound check.
- Yes, we do.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
- No, my niece?
- This Cameron?
- Are you sure?
- Really? Cameron?
- No. She...
- Perform?
- Her right here?
You must've put a
talk box on her voice
because there's no way
in hell. There's no way.
- Come on.
- There's no way. I'm just sayin.
- Okay, Aunt Glo.
- I'm just saying.
You don't have to do all that.
You know what? We'll
see you guys there, okay?
- Yeah.
- We'll see you. We'll be there.
- Yes, thank you.
- Congratulations.
Girl...
Hey, how are you doing, man?
Oh, there you are, baby.
Here you go. Here you go.
Okay, my baby.
There you go, baby. Mm hmm.
Hey, guys. Gugu and Lerato are
still setting up at the venue.
Can we toast, meanwhile?
- Yes!
- Yes!
Marcus. Glo.
Happy anniversary!
- Happy anniversary!
- Thank you!
- Thank you.
- Happy!
This is a special
anniversary for me and Glo
because we have decided
that we're going to
expand our family.
- No, she's not pregnant.
- Oh, okay. I was just...
- A miracle.
- No, we just...
But we're going to stay a
couple of extra weeks to uhm...
To start adoption proceedings
for our soon-to-be new son,
- Dingane Elkins.
- Yes!
- Yeah!
- Alright!
- Congratulations, Glo!
- Congratulations!
- Glo!
- Great news!
This is the first
time in my life
that everything just feels righ.
Girl, that boy has an attitude.
He's got a mouth on him.
So, I'm going to need all
these leftover cocktails
and whatever else
Paris and Ankela have.
I'm going to need
that right now.
Oh, everybody knows, okay?
Let's take a selfie.
For my new IG account.
- Yeah.
- The twins will be so proud of.
- She got a new account.
- Come on, now.
- Everybody, smile!
- Come on, get in there.
- Come on, hold up there.
- I got it, I got it.
- Hold it up, hold it up.
- Okay, cheese! Cheese!
- Hold it up.
- One, two, three!
- Wesley!
- Wesley!
- Please, hey.
- Wow, this is gorgeous.
- Please. Yes.
- My baby.
- Yes, baby.
- Trina was looking for you.
- Oh, hi.
- Hi.
- You look gorgeous.
- You look stunning.
I wanted to find you because
I have something special
that I wanted to give to you
before everyone else arrives.
Oh, okay.
- Both of us?
- Yes.
Oh, okay.
Thank you. What is it?
It's the contact information
to the best fertility
doctor in the country.
She's based in DC.
- Tri?
- Trina.
Trina, this is so kind of you.
Themba and I have spoken
about this countless times.
This is going to give us
impetus to move forward with it.
This is perfect.
Thank you so much.
And please know that you're
welcome to stay with us
for as long as you'd like.
Well, I have been
telling Lerato about DC.
So, you might see us over
there sooner than you think.
Okay.
Now, we don't have an
ocean in our backyard.
But I think it's going to do.
Sorry, guys. These
are the caterers,
I just need to take this.
But, Trina, thank you so much.
Amazing.
And we're having a baby.
We're having a baby.
- I love you. A baby.
- A baby.
[amapiano music]
- Hey, beautiful.
- Mmh.
- Hey.
- How are you feeling?
- I can't do this.
- You can do this.
- I can't.
- You can. Look at me.
You can.
Don't worry about it, the
mic is going to be off.
I'm just going
to play the trac.
Do you know how bad I sound?
Oh, you're one of the
worst voices God ever made.
- See? This is - But
it's not about the voice.
Okay? It's about you.
And I told you that you
have something special.
I meant it, okay?
I promise. And I've got you.
Let's go out there and
have some fun, okay?
- Okay.
- You'll be great. I've got you.
Let me sip.
Perfect.
[amapiano music]
- What's up, family?
- [cheering]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Thank you for coming through.
Thank you for your support.
- We just want to say
- To the Dlaminis...
[cheering]
And to the Wesleys...
[cheering]
Merry Chirstmas!
[Cheering]
This song is for you. DJ!
Yes!
Time is of the essence. You
don't want to waste too much
Yes!
- Okay, Cameron!
- Come!
[Cameron singing]
[Cameron and Thokozani singing]
- Yes, girl!
- Yeah!
- Hey! Hey! Hey!
- Hey!
Come on, now!
