Dam

Yola returns home to the Eastern Cape from Chile for her father's funeral. She's reluctant to be back and wants to leave as soon as possible, until she meets Themba, a handsome stranger who roars into town.

Yola finds out that her father has left her the farm, but if it weren't for a stipulation in his will, she would happily turn it over to her sister, Sienna, and Aunt Dora. Later, Themba comes around the farmhouse to visit her.

When Yola tries to settle the land claim lodged against the farm by Lazarus Zita, she discovers that Themba is his grandson, and that Lazarus has disappeared. Victor, a member of Themba's bike club, comes to town looking for him.

Yola suspects that Lazarus was involved in her father's death. Her medication has run out and she's desperate to return to Chile. Sienna convinces Yola to join her and her new love interest, Dirk, for a picnic at the dam.

Things begin to unravel as Yola questions her own view of reality, especially after she makes an unsettling discovery in her father's attic. Lindiwe, Themba's aunt, begins to act as if something very strange has got into her.

Sienna is convinced that Yola is ill and in need of help. Bernoldus makes a startling discovery in the house and wants to tell Yola about it. Meanwhile, Victor returns, as threatened, to collect the money that Themba owes him.

Themba searches for Yola but can't find her. He learns that Lazarus's land claim has been resolved. Sienna uncovers her father's art in the attic, a discovery that shakes her to her core. Yola asks Clara what her drawings mean.

It's the day of the Spring Festival. Yola and Themba, both fugitives, must work together to save the Spring Princess before it's too late.

Sienna prepares for a funeral, but for Lazarus. She meets Themba, who asks about Yola, who has been missing since the Spring Festival. Sienna doesn't know where her sister is or whether she is alive.

Yola is back but suffers from a three-month-long blackout. Dirk suspects that she was abducted, and Charl has gone missing. Themba welcomes Yola back, but she doesn't recognize him.

Sienna discovers she is pregnant, not knowing if it's Dirk's or Rudy's. What she does know is that she doesn't want it. There is something deep and dark stirring inside of Yola.

Another body is discovered at the dam. Max forms a hunting party for what they think is a large crocodile. Dora suggests it's a far more sinister beast, but she is ignored. Themba is set up for Yola's abduction.

Yola notices changes to her body and sets off to find out what happened to her. Lindiwe is told to leave her house but she refuses. Themba wakes up in the underworld, where he meets his San ancestor.

Max proposes to Yola at the Daughters of Jacob debutantes ball. Sienna pretends to seduce Dirk to get a confession from him. The women of Fort Vannenburg break free. Yola confronts Max.
