Tattooed Exes, Rehab Drama, and a Shocking Setup: 'Zatima' Keeps the Chaos Coming

From Malachi’s wild confession to Zac’s unexpected bedroom betrayal, the latest episodes of 'Zatima' deliver jaw-dropping twists and emotional turmoil that leave fans eager for more.

Zatima has been a nonstop rollercoaster of drama this season, so don’t let the temporary peace between Zac and Fatima fool you. Sure, they’re back on good terms, which is sweet, but the chaos is far from over. Episode 818 kicks off with the couple making plans for Zac’s mom’s funeral, signaling that they’re ready to move forward together in business, love, and friendship.

Fatima’s next task is dealing with Angela’s “corn” videos (read: explicit content) by enlisting the help of her FBI agent ex, Malachi, who betrayed her in the past. Malachi, feeling guilty about last week’s disastrous dinner, agrees to help take the videos down—but not without an ulterior motive. Later, when Malachi meets up with Angela and Fatima, things get even more awkward. First, he apologizes for the chaotic dinner, then he confesses he’s still in love with Fatima. To make matters worse, he unbuttons his shirt to reveal a tattoo of Fatima’s face on his chest. Yes, you read that right.

Messy Drama Unfolds as Zatima Drops Bombshells and Twists

The next episode picks up right where Malachi left off, mid-drama. Fatima immediately shuts him down, telling him he’s either helping Angela or nothing at all. Malachi agrees to help, but he’s not backing off easily. After Fatima leaves, he goes on a rant about how he’s going to win her back, claiming Zac and their relationship are just obstacles in his way. He even dismisses the fact that Fatima and Zac are getting married and have a baby on the way. Angela, horrified, warns him this is a terrible idea, but Malachi is unfazed and seems ready to use his FBI skills for something nefarious.

Meanwhile, Zac focuses on getting his brother Jeremiah into rehab, but shortly after, he learns that Jeremiah left the facility—likely to score drugs. As if that wasn’t enough, more tension arises when Connie confides in Tony that she has cancer and likely won’t survive. She’s trying to sort out her affairs, and Zac and Fatima are at the top of her list as potential foster parents for her three kids. Tony and Connie share an emotional hug as he promises to support her through this difficult time.

The episode ends with a wild twist. Earlier, Zac receives a text from Fatima, saying she has a surprise for him. When he gets home, he follows a trail of rose petals and sexy notes, which instruct him to strip and come upstairs. Eagerly, Zac complies. Upstairs, he finds Fatima lying face down, seemingly asleep and completely naked. Excited, he jumps into bed—only for the real Fatima to walk in and scream, “WHAT THE F--K!” Zac has clearly been set up, but we’ll have to wait until next week to see how this mess unfolds.
