When Bob talks to Chukwuemeka about the end of his engagement to Morenike, he accidentally reveals that she is gay. Soon, news spreads through the church community and leads to an "intervention" from the horrified and homophobic church elders. Abishola and Kemi are able to throw them off-balance by pointing out the many sins and hypocrisies of Morenike's elders, while Bob is left crestfallen when Morenike tells him nothing he says or does will undo the damage he caused. Abishola is surprised when Olu and Tunde tell her they won't ask Morenike to leave their home because they don't turn their back on family, and they later silence the church by showing up arm in arm with her in solidarity. Elsewhere, Douglas feels guilty for hiding his family's wealth from his love interest, Olivia the bus driver, and pretending he's a blue-collar joe. He eventually does tell the truth, and she initially tells him to get lost. However, she shows up later and says she'd like to give him another chance, as long as he's honest with her going forward.
This episode of Bob Hearts Abishola provides examples of:
- Deliberate Values Dissonance: Homosexuality is illegal in Nigeria, Abishola and Kemi, despite showing no actual hatred or fear of gay people, are both completely baffled by the concept that a good Nigerian woman could be gay, and they both agree that her staying closeted is the best course of action (though this is partially due to very real safety concern).
- I Have No Son!: Daughter in this case. Morenike’s parents disown her when they learn that she is gay.
- Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: once their initial shock wears off and getting a talking to from Abishola, Olu and Tunde take Morenike in and stand by her at church.
