All that gynaecologist Precious (Lihle Dlhomo) was seeking when she recently had a one night stand with nurse Calvin (Bhekisizwe Mahlawe) was to be seen. Unlike her womanising surgeon hubby Thabo (Meshack Mavuso), Calvin pays careful attention to her. “He listens to Precious when she’s feeling down and even pays her compliments after a long day at work,” explains Lihle, whose character thought that her passionate romp was a one-time mistake that was going to remain buried in the past.

But much to Precious’s dismay, she develops morning sickness, and when she isn’t nauseous, Precious has unusual mood swings that lead her mind to start wandering. “Precious is shaken at first. She takes a pregnancy test and it comes back positive. She’s carrying her sidepiece’s child. She immediately starts to process what’s going on,” adds Lihle. Precious never expected to be in this position, but soon she’s going to have to choose between the two men in her life with a baby on the way.
