Story Idea: This is the last chance for the people of Ẹni-Afẹ to take the first batch of vaccine that was sent to them. Or else, it will be distributed to other communities who had exhausted theirs. This is also the last chance Saamu is waiting for before he would free his accomplice, Akọwe, from the psychiatric hospital. He lied to the members of his community that the vaccine killed a student and all other students, including their teachers ran out of their class to avoid being vaccinated. The news terrified members of his community and further dissuade them from taking the vaccine, it was later revealed that Saamu himself had received the vaccine.

The characters featured in this episode are: Dokita, voiced by Titilayo Akande; Anti Nọọsi, voiced by Elizabeth Bamgbose; Saamu Eleti-Erin, voiced by Olatunde Falola; and Akowe, voiced by Adebayo Aare.
Story Idea: Saamu Eleti-Erin continued Akọwe’s mission of misinforming his community about the COVID-19 vaccine. He took up Tafa Alajọ's job so he will have the means to distribute fake news without anyone suspecting him. He advised Anti Nọọsi not to take the vaccine as it would block her womb and make her barren for life. At the end of the play, Dokita debunk the rumor and Anti Nọọsi went for the vaccine.
