Serwaas life has become miserable because Yaappiah, the madman, would not stop chasing her about as his wife. Koomotey suggests that the family consults a spiritualist to help solve Serwaas problem at the cost of fifty million cedis. The family contributes the money and gives it to Koomotey, but he absconds with it, with the intention of going to Gabon.

Meanwhile, after many years of scorn and pressure from Evelyns mother for her to divorce Joe, the couple still braves the storm until they are blessed with twins, a boy and a girl.

Pressure on Abusuapanin from Koomoteys in-laws and Serwaas issue make him take refuge in Tweapiase where he impregnates Adwo, a cripple, young enough to be his granddaughter. Serwaa accuses Auntie Cornie of trying to destroy her life but Cornie maintains it was Serwaas greed that landed her into hot waters. The fracas leads to the two families being summoned to the palace, where Serwaa confesses to their plot against Joe. In her attempt to run away from possible punishment, Auntie Cornie ends up in Nigeria, where Koomotey had also incidentally become stranded.
