The goons are dragging Fonton through the hush and singing.
They come face to face with Oviyon and his own boys.
Oviyon tells them that the fight is not necessary.
Half-a-day holds Fonton by the neck.
Fonton's hands are still tied and there is a gag on his mouth.
Half-a-day says they want peace and they want to make Aji great again.
Oviyon addresses the goons, asking if this is really what they want to do, follow Half-a-day without a mind of their own?
He asks what would happen if Half-a-day decides that he doesn't need them anymore.
He reminds them of Petunia who treated them like her children and was cooking for them.
Tote says Petunia saw them as fools who thought her rice and stew would make her do their dirty work.
Fonton groans.
Half-a-day asks Oviyon if he likes how Aji is.
Oviyon says everything wrong with Aji is Half-a-day's fault.
Half-a-day asks if he was the one who made them drop the coffin.
He asks who's supposed to rule, Miyise and Sewedo who know nothing?
Jonah tries to speak.
Half-a-day tells him to shut up because when he makes Fonton the Otogan, Jonah would be next in line.
Oviyon asks If he thinks the whole of Aji would just go along the it
He asks if Fonton looks like he wants to be Chief.
Fonton struggles to break free.
Half-a-day brings out a bottle of groundnut.
Oviyon thinks he's bringing out a weapon.
Half-a-day laughs then passes the bottle of groundnut amongst his boys.

Obi wakes up to see his hands and feet are bound with ropes.
He sees Chief's family watching him.
He asks what's wrong with them.
Sewedo laughs.
His mother tells him to be quiet.
She tells Obi that it had to be done as he can't be the ruler of Aji.
Obi tries to cry for help.
Nowheyon asks if he thinks they are stupid enough to have done it with the servants around.
Chief's wife says apparently there was a coup attempt in the village.
Sewedo says Obi has been successful.
Obi says he didn't plan anything and Sewedo can have chieftaincy because he doesn't want it.
He shouts for help again.
Sewedo ties a cloth around his mouth.
His mother says this is the last that the village of Aji will see of Miyise.

Folake says she would advise Senami to just leave Aji.
She checks her watch.
Senami asks if she's running late
Folake excuses herself to go and make a call.

Senami sees Saul through the window.
She runs out.

Obi's phone rings and Sewedo takes it from the bed, saying it's Obi's girlfriend.
Chief's wife says they will go out for a while to make sure the village doesn't burn down to the ground.
Sewedo tells them to go while he watches Obi.
His mother tells him his place is out there, as he wants to be Chief, the villagers need to know he's in charge.
Sewedo leaves.

Nowheyon says she would stay and watch Obi
Her mother tells her not to do anything rash then she leaves.

Obi m0ans to plead with Nowheyon.
She says she will untie his mouth to hear what he wants to say.
She utakes off the cloth.
Obi says if it's Chief's money they want, they can have it
She asks why he came back; he and his madness should have stayed away.
Obi is shocked.
She says she has to give it to him, it got worse and he would pluck out the eyes even when they were alive.
Obi says it's not him.
She says that was the same thing he said back then and he wouldn't stop.
She says Daddy was right and the madness is just too powerful.

Saul is walking into the forest.
Senami is following him.
She sees splatters of blood on some leaves.
She hides in the bush when she sees him returning.

She goes forward till she sees a hut.
She enters and the smell makes her cover her nose.
She sees bloodstains, cotton wool and a surgical mask.

Half-a-day tells Oviyon that he has said his piece.
He asks if now wants them to hold hands and dance in a circle?
His boys sing 'Ring around a Rosie'.
Half-a-day tells Oviyon's boys that Oviyon just likes to talk and he doesn't have time for that, he just wants to make Aji great.
Fonton protests.
Half-a-day says if they won't support him then it means they are enemies of Aji, their children are enemies of Aji and their mothers are enemies of Aji.
He says if they want to face the repercussions of resisting him, then they should wait.
2 palace attendants and another member of Oviyon's men run away.

Senami is in the bush trying to make a phone call.

Half-a-day asks Oviyon if he's still there.
Oviyon tells them to just pack and leave as there is nothing left for them in Aji.
His phone rings.
He ignores it at first then he answers.
Half-a-day and his boys laugh at him.
Oviyon tells Senami that he can't talk right now.
She tells him that she needs his help.
Someone covers her head with a black sack cloth.

Nowheyon tells Obi that her mother was right in saying a therapist would have been good for him.
He says he didn't do it.
She asks why he's lying.
She takes off her eyepatch and asks why he did that to her.
He asks if Miyise did that to her.
She asks if talking about himself in the 3rd person is the new trick.
He says it's not a trick because he's not Miyise and he swears it.

Saul takes Senami with the sack over her head to another hut.
Kingsley is there with 2 of his men and there are 3 pregnant women lying on mats on the floor.
Senami asks if they want money.
Kingsley says 'Come on!'
Senami's shocked to hear his voice.
He says 'My beautiful Senami, even when you think you've been kidnapped you still find a way to keep talking and talking.'
He gives Saul a sign to take off the mask.
Saul obeys.
Kingsley says 'If you weren't so adorable, all these your talking would have been annoying ages ago.'
Senami looks around in fear.

Peace is asleep on the ground in the open with her head resting on her bag.
A little girl wakes her up.
Peace wakes up with a start and looks around to see she is in the market square.
