Tahidi High critic

the episode was basically on unfaithfulness in marriages and how it affects children.
The programme opened with OJ scribbling something in his book at the carpark when Fredy joins him later and asks if Oj had finished the history assignment. oj confirms to have finished and fredy is worried that he had not been able to finish. when asked why he explains to Oj how his parents started fighting the previous night and it was hence hard for him to concentate on his studies. just as they are talking Julia a fellow student is b roght to school by an older man and when she gets out OJ and Fredy follow her to confirm who the man is.

on the other hand, Mr. Ngatia and his wife are having similar problems. the wife is acussing him of cheating on her and she even goes to an extent of threatening Omosh to tell her who the woman was.

Ngatia goes to class and asks for those who did not do his assignment to step out. no one does and when he points to Sintayo another student she admits she had not done the assignment. sintayo is asked to wait for the teacher outside class.

mr. Ngatia later meets Sintayo outside the staffroom where she explains that she couldnt do her assignment because of the problems her parents were going through. apparently Sintayo's mother had left them because the father was cheating on her.

when the students were leaving school Julia sees Sintayo sad and when she found out the problem Julia offers to invite Sintayo at her home. julia walks to the carpark with Sintayo as She tells her that her boyfriend was picking her up.

a car pulls over and julia introduces her boyfriend to Sintayo only to finf out that it was Sintayo's father. she is left shocked and does not believe it. Sintayo just walks away.


the production was good, the lighting communicated the mood to the audience. sound quality was also good.
i enioyed the episode because the plot had flow and each turning point was well brought out. the cast really fit their characters well. the suspence at the end makes the whole story sink and the audience is really involved emotionally.
However, i would have changed the fact that Sintayo's father was dating a student in the same school as the duaghter. if he knew this then he wouldnt have been as shocked as he was when he saw his daughter.
