Thankfully, Yolande’s next encounter strengthened her, as Bernie Taylor
(Clair Norris) arrived and spoke of her own turmoil over the loss of big brother Keanu (Danny Walters).
When Yolande declared Bernie brave, Bernie returned the sentiment, in a
powerful moment played beautifully by Wynter and Norris.
Bernie insisted that she wished to be more like Yolande, who knew right
and wrong and “always” spoke out, giving Yolande food for thought.
The pair joined the congregation and Clayton baptised Jordan, but when
it was time for family photos and Clayton was invited to feature, he put a hand on Yolande’s waist.
Yolande immediately jumped away from his grasp and, heard by Patrick, she condemned Clayton’s behaviour and left the church alone.
We next saw Yolande at the police station, where she insisted she needed to speak to someone about her sexual assault ordeal. Will Pastor Clayton finally face justice?
