It was as if the Matin's couldn't catch a break. Aamil was acting like a whole bitch and I was glad Drew didn't fall into his trap. Although she was wrong for how she handled everything, it stil didn't give Aamil the right to treat her the way he did. Raynard was definitely crazy and hopefully Olivia is good. Mina was one bitter chick that failed to realize just because she took the fall didn't mean she was entitled to anything more with Aamil. I was surprised about Kadar and his feelings but it was good he was able to get back on the right track with Aamil. I know the craziness is about to really go overboard with that ending. The side effects of Drew loving Aamil weren't all good and hopefully they're both able to make it out of their situation.

A good story, still some issues

The Matin family isn't as invincible as they think. As the story progresses, it's getting more engrained into the streetwise activities with the families. I'm not sure about Drew and Amaila, or Kadar and Olivia being couples. Something is missing in this story. Hopefully we'll get answers.
