It’s been a dramatic year for Scandal; we take look at the most popular episodes of 2013.

This year there’s been numerous shocking moments on Scandal. We learnt that Daniel is not the real Daniel, Dintle lied about her pregnancy, there was a serial killer targeting women in Newtown and Mangi shot his father’s cousin, Cain, to protect his father. Sjoe, are you still following? 

We give you the lowdown on the most watched episodes in the Scandal world.

1. Episode 1756 which aired on Thursday 6 June 2013

Weeks after Daniel’s disappearance Gogo Nyathi and Shakira decide it’s time they use dark magic to make sure Daniel isn’t harmed. The plan was to cast a spell on the person who was holding him hostage. Gogo and Shakira enlisted the help of umthakathi (a sangoma) to help them with the spell. This dangerous spell they were about to cast was dangerous and could harm a person from a distance without physical contact. In this episode Gogo invited the umthakathi into Daniel’s lounge. The umthakathi then performed a ritual; she smeared a knife with some unknown concoction. Thereafter she stabbed the knife in the air pointing towards Cain’s picture. Meanwhile, back in the dungeon where Cain was keeping Daniel, Cain started feeling a sharp pain in his abdomen which completely disorganized him. He was unable to hurt Daniel. The episode yielded 4, 388 909 viewers.

2. Episode 1763 which aired on Wednesday 19 June 2013

After months of lying to the Ngemas about the paternity of her baby, Dintle went into pre-mature labour. Suspicious of a four-month old foetus surviving a pre-mature birth Zinzile started searching for answers. This can’t be Scelo’s baby seeing that her son and Dintle had only been together for four months. Zinzile then confronted Dintle about this and she admitted that she had been lying all along. Scelo is not the father of the baby. The episode was watched by 4, 415 599 South Africans making it the most watched Scandal episode.

3. Episode 1764 which aired on Thursday 20 June 2013

On this episode Daniel who had been shot by Cain flat-lined. A few days earlier Daniel was hiding out at the community centre where he was sure Cain wouldn’t find him. But unfortunately Cain had his house and heard Daniel talking to Kila about lying low at the community centre. When he learnt this, Cain rushed to the community centre to finish what he had started. Cain was a madman and he threatened to shoot Maletsatsi, but Daniel took the bullet for Maletsatsi. After the incident Daniel was rushed to hospital. On this particular episode we were sure Daniel had died. The episode yielded 4 349 630 views.

4. Episode 1781 which aired on Thursday 16 July 2013

Following Cain’s death Layla, Quinton’s mother and Cain’s former lover, confronted Daniel for ruining Cain’s life by stealing his identity. The Nyathis were used to getting away with things and she was not gonna take Cain’s death lying down. She wanted to avenge her former lover Cain. The episode attracted 4 183 448 views.

5. Episode 1787 which aired on Thursday 25 July 2013

When Quinton finally changes his mind about not letting Stan attend Cain’s funeral, Stan went back to the Nyathi household to speak to Gogo Nyathi. He told her that he was prepared to go behind Daniel’s back and help her give his brother’s peace. Gogo Nyathi wanted to prepare a ritual to fetch Cain’s spirit from the community centre where he had been shot. In her view it was very important that this ritual is performed so that he could rest in peace. The episode was watched by 4 185 823 people.

While incarcerated, David managed to seduce the prison doctor. Dr Ongers and David’s hook-up was all about the benefits. David needed the good doctor to help him execute his plan of becoming the BK leader.

Jabu and Mampho
This one is probably the most important hook-up of the year. Sugar daddy Jabu pursued innocent Mampho by spoiling her with expensive gifts. Mampho, a virgin, had sex with Jabu and then discovered that she’s been infected with HIV. Jabu believes he can’t be HIV-positive because he only sleeps with virgins.

Suffocate and Lerato
Lerato seduced Suffo, her boss, hoping to secure her job. Lerato and Suffocates fling didn’t last long though. Suffocate had enough on his plate to keep him away from Lerato.
