We also witnessed longtime friends Tiannah and Iyabo meet Chioma for the first time at one of her restaurants. Later on in the episode, Tiannah held a launch event for her daughter’s kidswear brand! Here the girls are introduced to fellow cast member Carolyna Hutchings (not present at the Johannesburg premiere) in a slightly awkward encounter!

Also present at Tiannah’s kidswear party in episode 1 was Boss lady Laura Ekeji (who did not make it to the premiere in Johannesburg or Lagos). Tensions between Laura and Chioma rise when Laura refers to her as a friend while Chioma considered her a ‘client’ of Good Hair.
