Can someone please give me my accolades because I predicted this two weeks ago?
I said it that with Derin gone: and no visible antagonist, Tiwaโs major conflict was going to be her miscarriage. And yes, baby – I was right. You need to start taking my predictions seriously because I know these things.
So before we get to the grand reveal, letโs do a quick recap of Season 6 Episode 3 of Skinny Girl In Transit.
RECAP
Shalewa, on a mission to organize a surprise birthday party for Tiwa, first meets up with Mide at his office to discuss plans. After she is done with him, she proceeds to the radio station to let Didi in on the party arrangements.
While Shalewa and Didi are both discussing the party, Tiwa walks in on them and asks Shalewa why she is at the radio station. Shalewa lies, accusing Tiwa of abandoning her, and Didi agrees by fake criticizing Tiwa for doing the same to her.
Tiwa, feeling hurt by their accusations, rebuffs them by saying that she wants to be there for them but can’t as she is still adjusting to married life.
Didi apologizes immediately for being too hard on Tiwa, who accepts it. Tiwa also promises both women that she will get better at balancing both her marriage and other parts of her life.
After their conversation, she asks Didi to help her with an interview and leaves the studio. While she is gone, Shalewa and Didi giggle at the fact that they were able to keep their secret intact.
At home, Tiwa finds Mide installing a crib. He kisses her and tells her that he has missed โthemโ the whole day and suggests Tiwa take things slowly by working from home.
Tiwa reassures Mide that she is capable enough to handle her workload, and they proceed to the bedroom to have sex.
Then tada! Itโs her birthday party. At her birthday party, a couple of reveals happen. Reveals that would shape the course of the season.
NOTABLE SCENES
Wosi starts tailoring school and burns a fabric worth fifteen thousand nairas per yard.
Aunty Dupe is still with that boy (who of which I have two predictions about).
Didi went on a date with Okey Uzoeshiโs character – a character we are yet to know his name. He seems like a very stuffy guy who takes himself too seriously: more about him on the prediction side.
PREDICTIONS
Like I said earlier on, three reveals happened in the birthday scene, and we are going to discuss them in full detail.
The Call
Shalewa facetime’s Mohammed, who was presumably at a party because she made mention of struggling to hear him over the noise. However, when she finally did, she looked sad and heartbroken, nodding her head like a defeated woman.
What could the call have been about? I will go ahead and stick to my last weekโs prediction of Mohammed: he was ambushed into marrying Farida.
My guess is that he called Shalewa to break the news to her because from her response, she didnโt look angry – she looked defeated. Like her heart had just been broken.
Mo
Mo is a new character that was introduced at the birthday party as the second reveal. Judging by how the camera kept focusing on her at the very end of the episode, it is clear that she is going to be our main antagonist this season.
Tiwaโs miscarriage
I said it two weeks ago that Tiwa was most likely going to have a miscarriage since she had no conflict yet, and the reveal came today. Tiwa, at her birthday party, suffered a miscarriage.
So with this very public miscarriage, what does this mean for Tiwa? I think she is going to fall into a deep depression. The pain of losing a pregnancy is bad enough, but to lose it so publicly and in front of friends, family, acquaintances, and strangers would be devastating.
Her depression is going to make her shut Mide out of her life. This abandonment by her might make Mide look for who to confide in, and with neither Chris Kimani nor Derin in the picture, he will turn to Mo.
Mo will become a shoulder to cry on but I donโt know if their friendship will lead to an affair. My guess is that it would come close to it. Mo might actually try to scheme her way into Mideโs heart, but that is probably for season 7, where she will return as a scorned lover (who knows?).
Other Predictions
Wosi and that Aunty Dupeโs boy are so going to date each other. Their constant bickering at each other is leading up to something more sexual.
Didi and her guy are in for a battle of wills. He is going to try to refine her while she is going to try to loosen him up. Neither of them is going to let each other go because their attraction is stronger than their differences.
My verdict
I give this episode a 3 out of 5 because they finally revealed what this season is about, and I am excited to see whatโs next.
Do you agree with me?
