The worst fears were realized at the end of Zatima episode 309, and episode 310 picks up right where Zac completely loses control, brutally attacking his brother, Jeremiah. The fight gets so intense that Connie, Nate, and Tony have to jump in to hold Zac back, taking a few hits themselves in the process. Once Zac storms off, they’re left to deal with the fallout—getting a bloody and barely conscious Jeremiah to the hospital in a hurry.

Meanwhile, unaware of the chaos, Fatima spends the night at Angela’s, still upset with Zac. The two chat about Angela’s latest dating drama, with Fatima dishing out tough love, urging Angela to get her act together. Little does Fatima know, she’s missing the real drama brewing with Zac.

Back at the hospital, Nate and Connie face even worse news as doctors rush in when Jeremiah goes into a critical “code blue” emergency. Fatima eventually returns home as the tension escalates, only to find Zac with a freshly bandaged hand. She quickly pieces together that something serious went down, but Zac shuts down, refusing to explain. The episode reaches a climax as the police arrive to arrest Zac for Jeremiah’s murder.
