What a ride! The season finale of 10th Avenue delivered everything we hoped for and more—unexpected deaths, justice served, heartbreaks, and even rekindled friendships. If you thought the show was intense before, the finale cranked the drama up to a whole new level.
There were countless unforgettable moments, but we’ve narrowed it down to our top five. So, grab some popcorn, and let’s relive the highlights.
Bawo stood on business
Even staring death in the face, Bawo refused to cower. He stood tall, insisting on meeting his end on his feet rather than begging on his knees. Felix, on the other hand, gave us a full masterclass on spinelessness—on his knees, crying, and spilling every dirty secret about the money laundering scheme. Sure, Bawo was no saint (more like a full-blown villain), and he absolutely deserved his grim fate, but we can’t deny he went out with his twisted version of dignity intact. Respect? Maybe just a little.
Akunna and Colette’s unlikely truce
From sworn enemies to an unexpected truce, Akunna and Colette’s storyline was one for the books. Imagine finding out your best friend—and therapist, no less—is secretly your husband’s side chick. Oh, and she’s pregnant with his child. The betrayal? Unreal. But in a shocking twist, it was Akunna who saved Colette’s life. She overheard Felix’s vile plan to kill Colette and her unborn baby to steal her inheritance. By stepping in, Akunna not only saved Colette but also managed to salvage the shattered remnants of their friendship. A fresh start for these two? Who saw that coming?

Maleek’s bittersweet revenge
Revenge is sweet, but for Maleek, it came with a bitter aftertaste. Exposing the shady money laundering operation on the 10th Avenue estate and ensuring the main culprits were put behind bars was a major victory. But it cost him dearly—his father lost his life in the gunfight that ensued. Maleek got the justice his family deserved, but at what price? The triumph felt hollow, leaving us with a mix of pride and heartbreak for him.
Felix gets what he deserves
Felix: the villain we loved to hate. From money laundering to attempted murder, his list of crimes was endless. But when the walls came crashing down, Felix was every bit the coward we expected.
He tried fleeing the country dressed as a woman (yes, really) and hiding in the boot of his car. Of course, the police caught him at the border. Watching him get dragged out of his hiding spot was both satisfying and hilarious. Felix, you won’t be missed.
Gbemi’s heartbreak
Independent, self-assured, and always claiming she didn’t need a man’s love, Gbemi learned a tough lesson. She had pushed away Arc. Akinloye—the one man who truly loved her—and by the time she realized her feelings for him, it was too late. When she finally reached out, she discovered Akinloye had moved on with someone new. Watching Gbemi confront her vulnerability and heartbreak was a gut punch. Poor Gbemi—here’s hoping she finds her happiness in the next season.
There you have it—the top moments from the season finale of 10th Avenue. If you missed this rollercoaster of a series, don’t worry—you can binge-watch it all on DStv Catch Up. Trust us, this is one show you don’t want to sleep on.
