'Tinsel' Season 8 Episode 1780 Recap - Aired: Friday 20 May 2016


Telema meets with cassius at Ziggy’s and tells him Bimpe didn't agree to working with him on the distribution of their movie. 
He asks why she didn’t just tell him over the phone, instead of asking him to meet her.
Telema says if the roles were reversed, she’d want to be told in person. 
He seems happy with her response.
He asks what's next and she says she has no idea. 
He says he wants to help because Telema has been very respectful; he would put her in contact with one of the biggest Cinema Chains in the country; he would help her with a leg in the door and how it goes from there is entirely up to her.
Telema is very happy.


A weak Tsav, tells Caeser that he will not say a word.
Caeser says he saw the expression on Tsav's face when he called Amaka’s name. 
Tsav says what he saw, was the face of a thirsty man.
Ceaser gets water and pours it on Tsav’s face then asks if he’s still thirsty.



Tsav says that there's nothing between him and Amaka.
Ceaser asks if he wouldn’t mind if Amaka and her son disappear. 
Tsav begs him to leave Tochi alone.
Ceaser asks if he can arrange the mum in that case.
Tsav begs him to leave both of them out of it.
Caeser orders his man to find them before the end of the day. 
Tsav breaks and says he will take him to the diamonds. 
Ceaser warns Tsav not to mess him up otherwise he will get to watch Amaka and her son die.


Bimpe is on the phone, dealing with relatives who want a piece of her ’25 Million’.
She thanks one for the prayers and says she has no money to pay his son’s fees. 
Another calls and asks if she has moved into a bigger flat so that her kids can move in with her.
Bimpe tells her she hasn’t moved and her kids cannot come.
She gets a third call and answers in anger. It is her Aunty Abike, the one who was helping her plan her wedding to Soji. 
Bimpe asks how she is and aunty says they are fine, it’s just the hunger that is a problem.
She congratulates Bimpe on her management deal and Bimpe says the 25million naira gist, is not true.
 Aunty doesn’t seem to believe her, she asks for a ‘little’ recharge card money, “like 50k”.
 Bimpe says she can’t afford 50k, she will send 5k.


Brenda is having a meeting with her Team at the office.
She informs them that World Movies has accepted their deal and that Odum is not going to be around so Mimi will hire a new director.
Maro suggests Tolu (Mimi’s and Angela’s ex).
Angela agrees with Maro that Tolu will be a good replacement.
 Mimi doesn’t like the idea. She says they have worked with Tolu before and she thinks it would be good to give others a chance. 
Brenda tells her to come up with a list that includes Tolu’s name.

Laide is having lunch with Harriet. 
Harriet asks how it's going and Laide says it is working; after the interview, she loves how the public reacted to the gossip.
Harriett takes offense at the term ‘gossip’. She immediately sets Laide straight, saying she’s a journalist and what she reports is not gossip.
Laide says she didn’t mean it that way and anyways, she wants to know how soon they can have the second interview so she can bash Sheila further.
A still-pissed-off  Harriett, turns the table on Laide and says Fred had amnesia, she was brought to help and she started sleeping with him. 
Laide wasn’t expecting that. She asks how the issue became about her.
Harriett says she did a bit of digging and found out; that's how ‘gossip’works. 
Laide now wants to know  if Harriet will write about her.
Harriett says it will depend on if someone pays her to.
Laide threatens to sue, if that happens.


Mimi confronts Maro at the reception about why she brought up Tolu’s name at the meeting.
Maro says it’s because he's good at what he does.
Mimi says but Maro knows how far with her and Tolu.
Maro says she cares more about Odyssey than about Mimi’s relationship with Tolu. 
Nnenna, who has been listening to them, says she thought Mimi was trying to get back with Tolu.
Mimi says she is but she doesn’t know about working with him.


Telema enters Bimpe’s apartment and a relieved Bimpe asks where she has been.
Telema, with a bit of an attitude, tells Bimpe that she slept at a friend’s and she will be staying there for a while; she just came to pick up some more clothes.


She starts packing and Bimpe suddenly grabs her and begs her not to leave. 
She explains that she has been stressed out and she doesn't know her real friends, her only friend, apart from Ene, is Telema.
Telema is quiet.
Bimpe gets on her knees and holds Telema by the legs, still pleading.
Telema helps her up and agrees to stay.
Bimpe promises to make it up to her. 


Sankey is at the station, making enquiries over the phone from the men watching the hideout.
After the call, she tells Segun that Amaka’s information is accurate.
She calls her superior on the phone and gives him an update on the case.
He approves her request for more police officers to be sent to the hideout. 


Angela enters Brenda's office. She's not happy that she found out about Odum’s intended departure, at the meeting.
Brenda says she only found out some hours before the meeting herself.
Angela says Brenda seems to be forgetting other things, like the Kwame Mensah foundation and its activities.
Brenda tells her not to let Fabian fill her head.  
Angela says she never mentioned Fabian. 
Brenda says she assumed. 
Angela says assumptions are bad.
Brenda cannot look her in the face.
Angela seems to be enjoying the torment. She sweetly asks if Brenda will join her for dinner.
Brenda says she busy.


Brenda enters the hotel room where she met Zane the other time. 
An impatient hotel employee tells her he's not there and that she doesn't even know whom Brenda is talking about.
Brenda begs her to to allow a quick look around the room.
The girl asks for a little greasing of the palm and Brenda gives her some money.
She leaves and Brenda tries Zane’s phone; Number not available.


Tessa is at Yaya's again. She gives her a medication for the pain and warns her not to take it with the wine she is drinking. 
Yaya agrees to take it later;  she says she feels like a huge weight has left her shoulders  
Tessa says Yaya's too smart to have fallen into this. 
Richard calls and Tessa tells him Yaya is too sick to pick the call.
After the call, Yaya says anytime she thinks about Richard, she wants to kick herself. 



Bimpe comes to see Midas in his office. She’s fuming. 
He asks if there is anything wrong.
She says the quote he made about 25 million naira is putting her in a mess; everyone wants money. 
He doesn’t see her point. He says he didn't expect her to complain about getting attention. 
She says he should have said 1 million or 2 million but 25 million is way too huge a figure.
He says it's a claim then says what if he told her that the man she met at the reception on her way in, is her very own chauffeur. 
He hands her a car key and tells her it is the key to her new car.
Bimpe’s smile is very wide.


Odum meets Nosa at Ziggy’s. Nosa asks if Odum has seen his son. 
Odum says Brenda brings him to the office often so he sees him.
Nosa asks about Brenda and Odum says she's fine. 
Nosa then casually mentions that there’s a guy Brenda has been rumoured to have something with in the tabloids.
Odum hesitates for a second then says it is not a rumour because he walked in on Brenda and the guy kissing in her office. He says that he believes they are having an affair.


Caeser is taunting Tsav as usual.
Next thing, they hear the police invading the hideout and Tsav lies flat on the ground.
Caeser joins him.
