Kelders van Geheime

Edmund and Annette’s worlds come to a complete stop when Charlie’s medical condition is shared with them. Annette completely loses her head, and lands in front of a car. The family wants to stay with Edmund for support, but he doesn’t want anything from anyone.

Edmund feels relieved when a second opinion is requested – and then he meets Clarissa. Junior is deeply disappointed when Allison is not at home. Marco’s good deed is just too much for Annnette, and Shireen is once again summoned. Shireen comes to a heartbreaking conclusion.

Tjoppie goes to visit Hermien to tell her about the newest developments. Joey and Nenna take charge of the farm to ensure that the daily operations run smoothly. Junior considers sending Allison a message to ask her to come back. Clarissa’s son, Liam, needs help. Marco feels guilty about Annette’s condition. Edmund receives news from the doctors.

Edmund has a heart-wrenching decision to make about Charlie, and the decision becomes critical when Liam has another setback. Veronique doesn’t want to hear anything about Edmund’s decision, and Nenna gives her perspective on the situation. Junior finds it increasingly difficult to keep on lying about Allison’s absence.

Stil Piet receives a letter that could cause big problems. The Marais and Syster families gather to pay their last respects – although everyone has their own opinion on Edmund’s final decision. Edmund struggles with his loss, and the tension rises when Allison also arrives the hospital.

Edmund chases after memories of Charlie on the farm, while Shireen struggles to process her grief – Nenna gives her ‘permission’ to grieve. Napoleon comes to the rescue when Stil Piet and his nephews need to vacate their home, but Unathi is not impressed with his uncle.

Unathi tries to reconcile with Athandwa, but Athandwa wants nothing to do with his brother until he has made things right with Stil Piet. The Marais' and Systers clash over Charlie’s funeral arrangements, while Edmund asks Veronique and Tjoppie to sort it out on behalf of himself and Annette. Edmund and Shireen meet in secret. Debbie-Lee and Sandy move in with Shireen.

The Syster and Marais families will have to bury the hatchets to organise a worthy send-off for Charlie – that is if Edmund permits them to do so. Edmund is losing it, and a very early morning visit to Shireen proves it. Junior feels powerless while Allison pretends that everything is still under control. Veronique receives a call from her past: she has to say goodbye before it is too late. Unathi confronts Marco about his mother’s decision to kick Stil Piet and the Grootbooms out of their house.

Edmund is very unpredictable in this trying time of his life: alcohol and strange women probably make it more bearable. Veronique (or Dawn Steenkamp) visits a dying Ivan – and then Gershwin shows up. A missing Unathi shows up drunk at the house – and says things that could’ve just been left alone. Junior asks Nenna to try and get through to Allison.

Edmund grapples with his grief, and tries to explain and excuse himself with the truth. Unathi finds a new place to stay, and Athandwa finds himself at a cross roads when he has to make an impossible choice. Death is greeted with an emotional kiss. Marco confronts his mother regarding Stil Piet. Junior and Nenna confront Allison regarding the current status quo.

It is an extremely sad day when Soebatskloof is dunked into bereavement. Shireen is concerned that Edmund won’t make it through the day, while Annette is blissfully unaware of what is happening on the farm. Sandy doesn’t think Allison should attend the service, and Marco is over burials and memorial services. Joey tries to console a heartbroken Nenna.

Edmund is not coping at all, and Joey tries to give him advice. Allison wants to get away from Soebatskloof so no one has to look at her while they mend their broken hearts. Stil Piet withdraws from the fighting, and Gcobani returns – this time with good news! Veronique’s connection to the Solomons family in Bergvallei seems to run very deep.

Edmund wants to move back to his own cottage, in spite of Tjoppie’s pleas. Shireen’s announcement is a bomb that goes off in the Syster family. Stil Piet is unsure about Gcobani’s offer. Gershwin and Veronique try to ignore the palpable feelings, and Allistair arrives to share his condolences with the Solomons.

Gershwin and Brenda fear for their lives after an incident at Die Jaart, and Allistair discovers a note with a knife on a table. Sandy is still upset about Shireen’s future plans. Debbie-Lee takes pity on Edmund in his darkest hour. Stil Piet has an announcement of his own that he makes to his family.

Edmund’s drinking has big consequences that involve Veronique, Debbie-Lee and Nenna. Unathi is not as excited about Stil Piet’s decision as Athandwa is, until Phillip opens his eyes. Tjoppie wants to know where Veronique keeps on disappearing to, while Sandy is concerned that Debbie-Lee is making another ‘Elroy’-mistake.

Debbie-Lee tries to intervene with Edmund, but it does not keep him from almost throwing away his name. Gershwin tells Brenda about Johnny, and Joyce makes a terrible discovery. Veronique gives Gershwin an ultimatum regarding Die Jaart. Things are looking on the up for the Grootbooms when they move into their new home – and Athandwa tells Unathi to think about completing his Matric with all the free time he will have on hand.

Athandwa and Stil Piet depart for their initiation ceremony, while Gcobani goes to Napoleon with a big risk business proposal. Edmund resigns as the wine maker on Soebatskloof, while Nenna, Joey, and Shireen try to stop him with an intervention. Gershwin gets an extension on the payback to Johnny, but when he can’t crunch the numbers, he is forced to contact Allistair for help.

Napoleon warns Gcobani that they both have hangovers, and Gcobani decides to look for Thozama at Die Jaart. Debbie-Lee gives a very reluctant Edmund some very tough love. Allistair worms himself deeper into the lives of the Solomons, and when Veronique comes to hear of it she tells Gershwin that she doesn’t want Allistair anywhere near the Solomons.

Debbie-Lee supports Edmund in secret – even if it means that she has to lie to her loved one about where she is and what she is doing. Gcobani is head over heels in love, and wonders how he can impress the woman. Gershwin is powerless against Allistair, and is forced to do him a "favor".

Edmund gets support from a very unexpected source, and Debbie-Lee explodes when Sandy starts fishing tongue in cheek about her new boyfriend. Napoleon is disappointed in Gcobani’s choices, while Unathi relies on financial support from his father to realize his dreams. There are problems at Die Jaart with the new beer, but Gershwin’s back is against the wall when it comes to Allistair.
