Please shut up.
The other two don't stand a chance.

But you, my lady,
are superior in every aspect.

[Tahira] You think
I'll get to work with Mr. Molapo?

[Wendy]
He'll definitely hire you on the spot.

[Tahira] I shouldn't be kidding myself.

- [Wendy] You definitely have a chance.
- Excuse me.

[Tahira] I don't know.

No, look, I'm done with all that.
It's strictly herbal for me.

Come on.

Hey, Fiks.

Okay, wait. Just take this

Sure.

[Puleng] Morning.

Hi, I'm here to submit this application
for the Molapo-Fischer internship.

Never mind missing the deadline.
You're in grade ten, love.

Sorry, but you don't qualify.

Grade 11s and 12s only.

[Chris] Finally, a real swimmer.

Thought I'd carry this team
by myself this year.

Okay, Ackerman, fun's over. Set!

[whistle blowing]

[professor] An exciting new project
for the week awaits.

But first,
I need you to get into groups of two.

Uh, should we?

Uh, yeah. I guess. I guess, yeah.

Or maybe perhaps
we should pair with other people.

- I mean, we're always together, so...
- Yeah.

- Sure. Sure.
- Cool.

Okay.

Is everything okay, Puleng?

You've been acting a bit weird
ever since the...

When... when we almost, you know?

Um...

Um...

What I mean is,
are we ever going to talk about it?

Yeah, about that...

Look, I... I was messed up, I guess.

You know, with the whole thing of

my mom cheating on my dad.

I wasn't thinking.

- I'm sorry, Wade.
- Mm.

Sure. You're irritating.

What?

Nothing. It's all my fault.

I was stupid.

Very stupid. I should've known.

- Come on, Wade...
- [professor] Okay, parents!

The person sitting next to you
will be your co-parent.

Over the course of next week, you two
will be looking after that egg together.

Wade, Puleng, get back together, please.

- Oh, we're not actually partners, ma'am.
- Yeah.

Yes, you are.

You wouldn't be the first parents who wish
they didn't have a child together.

This class is called Life Orientation
for a reason, guys.

Of course it is.

I think we should start.
Wendy can chair the meeting.

[Wendy] Okay.

On the agenda for today
are pitches for our first fundraiser.

["I Need You" playing]

[girl] Okay, next one.

Come in!

Oh.

[all] Thank you, Puleng!

- [Puleng sighs]
- Your fan base is growing.

Oh, shut up. They're your fans.

Besides, I'm not into
the celeb life anyway.

Okay, then what life are you into?

Funny you should ask.

Um, I was thinking I might study law.

Tell me, when is your dad deciding
who gets the internship at his company?

[scoffs] Matla?
Please, he ain't deciding sh*t.

My Auntie Patricia
is the one running the internships.

Do you think you can maybe put in
a good word with Auntie Patricia for me?

I tried applying, but apparently,
it's not open to grade tens.

So wait until next year, babe.

But, like, for real,
since when are you into law?

It's a recent development.

The most credible record of tea goes
as far back as the third century AD.

In medical texts of Hua Tuo...

[scoffs] Wikipedia much.

Fine.

I propose a retrospective high tea party

featuring stalls selling tea and edibles

from various countries on this continent.

The venue's sorted.
We can use the garden at my house.

When you say "high tea party,"

are the people required
to be high at this party?

Fine if you don't like my idea,
at least I have one.

Seriously, guys,
we're running out of time.

Does anyone have anything else?

Well, if there's nothing else,
I think we should vote right now.

What's the point?
Tea party it is. Can I go now?

Yeah, I'm with Reece.

Ah, perfect.

Looks like a Spiyoyo.

You should definitely name it Spiyoyo.

Babe.

[chuckles] What do you want me to say?
"Auntie Pat, put my girlfriend on?"

Yes, that will do.

No, baby. Doesn't work like that.

That's like nepotism. It's not cool.

Anyway, who's Spiyoyo's dad?

Oh, it's, um,

it's Wade.

As in Wade,
who you disappeared with the other day?

We had to go buy some stuff
for the journalism kiosk.

- Yeah, sure.
- [scoffs]

You know, I'm genuinely trying
to discuss my future here,

and you're busy moaning about a non-event.

- If you can't help, I'll do it myself.
- Okay, okay.

Jeez.

I'll speak to Auntie Pat
and hear what she says.

Thank you.

["I Need You" playing]

Ladies.

Don't tell me I'm early.

You're late. But don't worry about it.

Everything went perfect without you.
You should try to miss more of these.

Wait, wait. Hold up.

Why do you look so... happy?

Don't tell me the committee actually went

for whatever stupid idea
you had for the fundraiser.

Okay, I won't.

No, wait, wait. What is it?

A retrospective tea party.

f*ck no! Who voted for that?

Or is this because
you're feeling guilty as hell

about disappearing with Puleng
the other day?

This is... Mm...

Uh-uh. Don't look at me, playboy.

- I'm just kidding! [chuckles]
- [mumbles]

It doesn't bother me. I trust you.

Oh, you got me good there.

- You guys are such goals.

Oh, and since when is Puleng interested
in studying law?

She took an internship
application form this morning.

- Huh?
- Yeah.

I've got everything under control,
and I have my reasons.

What's up?

Reece, if you're struggling with money,
there's other ways.

Does it look like I'm struggling?

Listen, why did you guys vote
for the tea party?

I don't care what it is. As long
as I can move some merch, then I'm good.

I see you and my girl
are co-parents for the LO project.

So?

So now you have the perfect reason
to spend more time with her.

[Wade sighs]

- Where did you guys go the other day?
- Why don't you ask her?

[chuckles] 'Cause I'm asking you, bro.

And I'm also asking you
why don't you ask her?

Yeah.

[Patricia] KB, how you doing?
You wanna speak to your dad?

Hi, Auntie Pat.

Uh, no, actually,
I'd like to speak to you.

[coach] Give this leg a lift,
nice and high,

grab the wrist,
pull the knee through, push.

From there, kick your leg up,
then hunt for the elbow.

Pull it across.

- Hi.
- [coach] Grab the head.

Hi, Puleng.

Tahira, could you please give this to Wade
when he's done?

[coach] Grab the wrist.

Uh, what is that?

Oh, this... this is Spiyoyo.

Our child. Wade and I are co-parenting him
for Life Orientation.

- Okay, be careful. He's still a kid.
- Of course.

[Tahira] Why does this look like KB?

Well... I don't think so.

[coach] Grab the wrist.

Nice and high on the back.

Pushing your knee through from there,

across the neck,

hunt, and squeeze.

[Zama] Oh my gosh, friend.

I really don't think
your mother had it in her.

[in Zulu] Wow. She's the GOAT.

[in English] I can't deal.

She's acting self-righteous
while having sex with everybody.

No, ma'am, don't be too hard on her.

These things happen, okay?

One thing leads to another.
And next thing you know, you're a ho.

Tell me about it.

[sighs] I'm sorry, I just...

- Puleng, you can't cry. I'm still busy.
- [sighs] My God.

[exhales sharply]

[softly] f*ck.

- Wade and I almost kissed.
- What?

- Almost, okay?
- [in Zulu] See?

[in English] Puleng,
let me just tell you from experience.

Ho is life, honey,
but threesomes ain't it.

So you just need to cut them off
one by one.

So what now? Bye-bye, KB?

No.

No...

f*ck, I don't know anymore.
Everything is just messy, you know?

I just wanna focus on this internship.

Follow the money.

There must be something
in the records, you know?

Something that tells me
who paid for Phume. f*ck! sh*t!

- Zama, that burns!
- Sorry. Sorry. Don't rub it!

- [Puleng] But it's burning.
- Hey, P.

- Uma is asking...
- What, Siya?

- [Siya] What's wrong with your face?
- Zama!

To be fair,

that was a shitty tutorial.

- [in English] That would've been nice.
- [Puleng clears throat] Hi, guys.

Is it possible for you
to look after Spiyoyo for a bit?

[Wade] Come here.

[in Afrikaans]
Jeez, is there a limit to your sh*t?

[in English] Tahira really wanted
that internship.

- What?
- Tahira applied for the internship.

You cheated, and KB stole it for you.

- What are you talking about?
- Don't talk to my girl like that!

- Chill.
- What the f*ck?

Listen, I don't have time
to deal with you.

My issue's with Puleng.

Actually, there is no issue.

Wade, let's go, please.

Wade, wait.

I'm sorry.

["Go High Go Low" continues playing]

- What are you gonna do about it?
- [Puleng] KB, no. Guys, stop.

[guests gasp]

[Tahira] Wade!

[grunting]

KB! Guys, stop!

[grunting]

- Wade!
- [KB grunts]

[song continues playing]

[Puleng] Guys, stop!

[song ends]

[Sam] If I were to study,
it'd have to be online.

I'd start my day surfing,

do some school work on the beach,
surf some more.

I don't know.

I kind of like the idea of campus.

Res, varsity parties.

- It's like a rite of passage.
- They'll love you wherever you go.

- Who wouldn't?
- Mm.

I bet you tell that to all the girls
you bring home.

[Sam chuckles]

It's literally the first time
I've brought a girl over.

- [Fikile] Mm-hmm.
- Facts.

Are you okay?

[sighs]

I was just wondering.

Did you tell your mom about our trip
to Pollsmoor, by any chance?

No, I didn't.

Your secret's safe with me.

It's just that I overheard my mom
and Gran talking about prison,

so I figured maybe you told your mom,
and she told mine.

Not a chance.

Wait.

Uh, how could they possibly know that?

I don't know.

I don't know. I... I think I'm going crazy.
[chuckles softly]

It's been a weird few weeks.

Yeah.

Um...

But yeah, I should probably get going.

No.

- Thanks for an amazing day.
- Wait.

How amazing?

Like, on a scale of one to ten.

One being enough
to high-five me and ten being...

[chuckles]

Um...

- [Fikile laughs]
- Okay.

[Fikile] I'm kidding.

It was, um...

- It was pretty amazing.
- Yeah?

[music fades]

[tense music playing]

[phone line ringing]

[automated voice]
Welcome to voice mail. Please...

[exhales sharply]

Morning, Ma.

[in Xhosa] What's this, Sam?

What's this?

[in English] What in God's name
is the problem with you?

I'm clean, Ma, I promise.

Really?

You really wanna go back there?

You wanna drag your mother
through all that sh*t again?

Ma, you can have me tested.

To be honest, you might just find weed,
but nothing more serious than that.

Someone was trying to sell them to me
at school and stuffed it in my pocket,

and I just forgot about it.

[in Xhosa] Who?

[in English] Ah, come on, Ma.
I'm many things, but I'm not a snitch.

[in Xhosa] Sam, who was trying
to sell you dr*gs at school?

[in English] Ma, I won't put you through
that again. I promised.

Anyways, I have to go. I've got swimming.

Love you. Bye.

[hip-hop music playing]

[Puleng] We stand here
before you today as, um...

[clears throat] ...heartbroken parents,

having lost our, uh, baby Spiyoyo,

um, in a very tragic accident.

[splutters] Actually, Spiyoyo was k*lled
by his stepfather.

- Yes.
- Technically, Spiyoyo was aborted.

One of the options people don't discuss
when having a baby with the wrong person.

Sometimes you have a baby with the perfect
person, and it still doesn't work out.

Okay, that's enough, you two.

Sounds like a divorce is imminent.

Just get back to your desk, please.

If she's not co-parenting an egg
with my boyfriend,

she's stealing my internship.

Like, Fikile had to file
a restraining order against her.

The internship
at Fischer, Molapo, and Associates?

Yeah. She's the boss's son's girlfriend.

I'm gonna apply to other law firms.

Know what? Screw Puleng Vezi
or Khumalo or whatever her real name is.

This was found in the girls' toilets.

We have to be on high alert.
This is a dangerous group of people.

I, for one, was spiked
at the school's fundraiser.

[all murmuring]

[principal] I know.

We need a dedicated anti-drug campaign.
We need to nip this in the bud.

["Out Here" by Altitude Music playing]

Fischer, Molapo & Associates,
may I help?

Patricia?

I need to see you.

- Miss van Rensburg, a word, please.
- [door closes]

Yes, sir.

I know what you're up to.

Excuse me?

You're dealing dr*gs on school grounds.

You, Pauline, and Zayd.

[Reece] Um, sorry, I don't know
what you're talking about.

Really?

If I called the police to investigate,
you would be okay with that?

Thought so.

[Janet] She never sets foot here again,
do you understand?

I didn't know anything about her
and a restraining order.

- I mean, KB called and asked...
- Stop.

I want to know where she worked.

She made coffee, tea.
Generally was a gopher for...

- She walked about as she pleased?
- No! I...

Her access code only gave her access
to the second floor.

The general area, nowhere important.

You end that internship.

If you know what's good
for both you and me,

you will not tell Matla about this.

Okay.

I'm gonna need the footage
from when she was here.

[laughter]

[in Xhosa] Only thing Nwabisa took from me
is her strong bones.

As for cooking skills? Zero.

[all laughing]

In this house, we live off takeaways.

[laughing]

This wine is going to your heads.

[grandma chuckles]

[in English] What traits
did I take from you, Makhulu?

[in Xhosa] Let's see...

Growing up, I was also
my grandmother's Little Pocket Book.

I followed her everywhere.

[chuckles]

And I was a beautiful baby. Like you.

As for Nwabisa, she was a very ugly baby.

[grandma laughs]

[in English] I'd love to see some photos
'cause we barely have any here.

[chuckles]

[in Xhosa] That's right.

You'll have to come to the Eastern Cape
over the holidays to see them.

Not this typical holiday house nonsense
of eating out and watching animals.

Holidays are the best
at your grandmother's house.

[grandma laughs]

["Wag 'N Bietjie"

Have a look at this.

What's this?

[song continues playing]

[phone chimes]

[Puleng] Fiks, what's wrong?

- Are you okay?
- I'm definitely not okay.

Did you show your mom the DNA test?

I told Janet, the therapist.

I don't know. Maybe she told my mom.

Puleng,

I think my mom tampered
with the DNA results.
