I need to know what kind of water the writers at #TheRiver1Magic #TheRiverMzansi drink, cause this new season that first episode!

So exciting. I look forward to seeing how Zolani gets Emma back again.

So Lala is going to die at some point.

Season five episode begins with a flash-forward then we back to the present time.
