A NETFLIX SERIES
[muffled club music playing]
-[club music continues over speakers] -[crowd cheering]
A big shout-out to my friends in the club tonight.
MARWAN AL AWADHI
Shout-out, Fadie, I see you. Fadie, Hanna, Zeina, LJ… What up? Welcome!
[cheering]
Zeina and I went with Hanna to the club to have some fun and dance a bit.
LOUJAIN ADADAH
I've also met Hanna's friend, Fadie.
[Zeina] I met Fadie through Hanna.
He's nice, he's humble, he's down to earth.
-[Bliss] Yo, what's up, guys? -[all] Hey!
-[Bliss] You good? -[Hanna] What's going on? How are you?
-What's up? -Good to see you, bro.
-[Bliss] What's up, ladies? -Hi!
[LJ] DJ Bliss and I are friends. As a friend, he's really funny.
He gives off good vibes.
I haven't seen Fadie in so long, like--
I haven't seen all of you guys in so long, man--
You know, he is in the scene,
but you don't also see him.
FADIE MUSALLET
I know Fadie from the entertainment industry.
He's also cousins with the world-famous DJ Khaled.
It was nice seeing you.
-I'll see you guys at the party, yeah? -Yeah, sure.
[Zeina] Focus on the music.
I know. Arabic. I know!
-[electronic music playing] -[crowd cheering]
Look, he's surrounded by girls.
[Zeina chuckling] He's looking at us.
[LJ] Where is Danya?
She didn't come because she's not into clubbing.
-Look, he's surrounded by girls. -Don't you tell her!
I mean, look!
If I were her, I would lose it!
[upbeat song playing]
The music is good today. Really, Bliss is good.
He's gonna be playing music in my getaway.
You guys are coming, right?
-Yeah. Of course. We're all coming. -Yes.
-You're coming? -I'm coming.
♪ How we fight isn't how we live ♪
How are you guys doing? How is…
How is your relationship going?
EVELYN HEFFERMEHL
It's really important for us to have a mediator or a therapist
to continue our sessions, to communicate, 'cause we are getting married
and, like, all the work that I'm doing for the wedding
adds a layer of, you know, anxiety.
Yeah, everything's good, we're just getting ready for the wedding.
If she's good, I'm good.
KRIS FADE
If she's happy, you're happy.
I think we've mentioned that it's the opposite.
I feel like he needs to be happy and then I'm like, life's happy.
-No way! -Really?
I swear.
If you're happy, I'm happy.
-If you're not happy… -It goes both ways.
-Yeah. -But I feel like,
happy Kris, happy life, that's what it comes down to.
[chuckles]
[therapist] I know you have a lot of wonderful things going on.
What do you think are your greatest strengths as a couple?
-I think stability, loyalty… -[therapist] Mm-hmm.
I think, we also work together, so just kind of building that.
Have one goal.
Yeah, she was my assistant for, like, two and a half years.
-[therapist] Hmm. -Oof!
-I had a panic attack. -Yeah.
A couple of times.
And I never actually experienced that before.
So I did give him an ultimatum.
I said that it was either me as a relationship,
or I'll continue to be your assistant, but I can't be with you.
-And now, we still work together… -[chuckles]
…but it's on a different level.
We have a company now, Brianna is the brand manager.
That journey's been going pretty well.
We're opposite.
But at the end of the day, love. We love each other so much.
We worked through it.
I mean, I feel like he had more of the traditional kind of family.
Both parents are together with kids and they all live together.
-I didn't have that. -Didn't have that experience.
-[Brianna] 'Cause my mom, you know… -Yeah.
When my mom was, uh, giving birth to me, she had a heart attack.
She's passed away as well now.
So after being in, you know,
in a coma for over 20 years, my mom, she ended up--
-For 20 years? -[Brianna] Over 20 years.
[somber music playing]
Because I didn't know my mom
and I couldn't communicate with her or anything,
so I… I didn't…
Yeah, that… that connection wasn't there.
It was hard to see her and not know her, I guess, yeah.
-It's okay. -[Kris] She's okay.
[upbeat song playing]
[Lojain] Today we're having lunch together, Basel, Mazen, and I.
But they said we'd make a stop before lunch.
So we went to the motorcycle shop for Basel to look around.
♪ Get ready Let's play ♪
[engine starts]
[engine roaring]
[Mazen] It's nice, isn't it? What do you think?
You're asking me for a reason.
BASEL OMRAN
-Why are you asking if I like it? -He craves that bike.
[chuckles mockingly]
Mazen looked overly excited. I could see sparks in his eyes.
I wanted to make sure whether we were there for Basel or Mazen.
Something didn't feel right to me.
He's getting a bike, right?
-Right. -We both can get one.
Don't get a sport bike though, because it'll prompt you to speed up.
Even if you don't want to speed up, your friends will prompt you to,
and go, "Speed up! Lift the front wheel!" and so on.
I'm a daredevil.
MAZEN OMRAN
I used to be. I'm no longer a daredevil.
I assure you. Anyway…
-No, I passed that stage. -I doubt it.
Why would I cause myself anxiety and lose my peace of mind
being responsible for him and his safety for as long as he lives with me in Dubai?
How much is it?
-200,000 AED. -200,000 AED.
-But it's safe, right? -[salesman] Yes.
-I'll get back to you. -We'll get into a heated discussion.
A big "no" to the supersport bike. Yeah.
He needs to get a bike that is reasonably priced to begin with,
and doesn't prompt him to speed up because you know your brother.
Convince him to pick another bike.
I want him to have something that motivates him.
I want him to work hard and buy it with his own money, to value it.
So he'd think twice about speeding up
if he paid for it with his hard-earned money.
And this will make him more responsible.
Will your monthly salary cover the cost?
So far, we're doing good in the stocks, cryptos and NFT.
This gets you a stable income?
There's no stable income in the stock exchange market.
You don't want to commit to extra financial obligations.
-Right? -Of course. Definitely.
Very well. Take all that into consideration.
You want this motorcycle. Fine. You just need to get it yourself.
You need to work hard and pay for it with your own money to appreciate it.
It shouldn't come easy.
No nepotism allowed.
[both laugh]
I want him to learn from my mistakes.
I made mistakes, and every time I fall or make a mistake, I learn a new lesson.
I want to give him my experience on a silver platter.
[captivating music playing]
[LJ] I invited everyone to the desert.
It's my first time planning a getaway. I have a few surprises in store for them.
I thought this is what we needed, me and my friends.
At dinner time,
Lojain and Ebraheem will join us as well as Kris and Brianna.
I'm sure it's gonna be great.
[upbeat Arabian music playing]
[Zeina] I'm so happy. There's no signal.
[muffled laughter]
[Bliss] Wow!
Whoo! We're here.
[captivating Arabian music playing]
-This is dope. Amazing. -This is beautiful.
-[Fadie] Wow. What a getaway! -[Bliss] Beautiful.
-Amazing. -[Fadie] I love it.
-[Hanna] Look at this. -[Bliss] Look, guys!
-Coffee and dates, and look what we have. -[Fadie] Wow!
This place was amazing. It was like a desert oasis.
It was like something out of a movie.
-[LJ] Do you like it, Zeina? -It's very nice.
-[Fadie] Wow. -Pass the dates over here
because Fadie needs one,
he's not getting lucky on any dates right now,
so pass him a date right there, real quick.
It's like a picture frame in front of us,
and I just see Fadie and LJ.
I don't know, maybe it could work.
LJ, you want a-- You want a date?
No, I don't want a date. [laughs]
[Bliss] What?
Guys, I think I need to, uh, get this fire started.
-What do you say-- -No, not yet. You just relax.
I have everything organized.
-Oh, you got it? -Yes.
Okay, I'm gonna take the boys, we'll go camel riding.
[LJ] No. You just stay here.
No, we'll be right back. Let's go, come on, guys.
-[Fadie] Help me up? -[Bliss] Yeah.
-Sultana LJ. [laughs] -[Bliss laughs]
Everyone's, like, sitting in order and LJ is the only one just like…
[whimsical music playing]
[imitating LJ] "No. Out."
All right, listen.
Guys, we'll be right back. We'll be right back.
-Three camels, three boys. -Why the hurry?
Listen, don't miss us too much. Don't miss me too much.
[LJ] I didn't get it.
Like, what does that mean?
You got a fat--
Whoa! Whoa!
Okay, all right!
He said lean back, I didn't know--
You must have done this before.
[Bliss] What up, buddy?
[Fadie] What did you all think about last night?
-You guys have a good time? -I had a great time.
I haven't been out in a long time.
-You rocked it, man. -Thank you.
It was good to see you guys.
-[Fadie] Guys, be honest. -Okay.
[Fadie] What did you think about LJ? Did you think she was into me?
[Bliss] Uh…
Kinda.
[sighs] It's so peaceful. So quiet.
[woman 1] Oh, my God!
[laughter]
Wow!
What the…
[woman 2] Okay, a day in the desert.
[Zeina] I don't know any of them.
[laughter]
-Who are these people? Your friends? -[LJ] Maybe it's Safa.
[woman 3] Farhana, you wanna go?
-[Zeina] Farhana? -What?
[laughter]
[Farhana] I'm going to the desert and my girls are joining me
to put together Cosmo Women in the City shoot.
My girls are influencers too.
Let's do this.
I didn't know exactly that it was LJ's event.
There will be drama today.
[Zeina] Oh, my God.
Oops.
It's her.
Okay, she's here.
What brings her here? Who asked her to come?
The ride was fun.
Danya.
But why did she bring Farhana along?
Farhana asked me to do a photo shoot, so I agreed.
DANYA MOHAMMED
Danya, let's go this way.
[Danya] LJ invited me to the desert as well.
Bliss went earlier to LJ's thing
and I said, "I'd finish the photo shoot with Farhana,
then I'll join you guys later for LJ's getaway."
What are you guys doing here?
I was shocked. I'm like, "What is going on?"
How was Farhana's photo shoot in the same location as LJ and Zeina's?
-I'm doing a photo shoot. -Forget about them.
-[Danya] I'll talk to you guys in a bit. -[Zeina] We'll be here.
This can't be happening.
Why is she here? I was… I was a bit shocked.
-Are you upset? -[clicks tongue]
Anyways… [sighs]
[clicks tongue] Let's have a drink.
[Zeina laughs]
[Zeina] Oh, my God.
LJ and Farhana are going to get into another argument.
I said, "Fine."
How brave of Farhana.
[dramatic music playing]
[laughter]
[woman 1] God, I cannot…
-[Danya] This looks good! -[woman 1] Oh, my God!
Look at that photo shoot.
[woman 2] Do we smile or laugh or what?
[LJ] Look at those outfits.
She had some weird thing wrapped around her head.
She was wearing something flowy.
I don't know. I didn't get the outfit.
Okay, some still shots, like, of us…
I mean, seriously, this is a vast desert and they picked this spot?
Surely someone sent the location to Farhana.
[laughter]
I'll go check if she'll talk to me since I'm upset with her, you know.
She's coming. Let's just do our shoot
-because this nosy woman is coming. -No scarf?
[Farhana] She's nosy, she has to come by. Oh, my God.
She said, "She's so nosy."
[women laughing]
Farhana, I heard you saying I'm so nosy.
I was being nice. I was trying to invite you girls to sit down.
I'm doing my own thing with my friends here.
Then do your own thing, but I heard you say, "You're so nosy."
-It's clear what you guys are doing. -Okay, the thing is, if you felt--
Maybe we should, like, sit down and talk about it.
Let's take the pictures and then talk about it.
Yeah, not in the middle of the desert.
I heard you've been gossiping about me.
They said you've been talking about how my birthday was sponsored.
-I said everything to your face. -We spoke about the sponsorship.
-But, babe, I don't understand this-- -But I said it to your face. I told--
-But you went back and started talking. -Everybody was talking about it.
Why can't you, like, be happy for another woman,
like, you know I'm a single mom, I'm supporting, uh, my son--
These two… These things are very unrelated.
I thought I told you everything to your face.
You've been talking--
[Zeina] If you like it or not, it's fine, it's yours.
-Let them finish their shoot. -[Farhana] Let's shoot.
-I didn't expect this drama. -Hi.
How are you, ladies?
[Danya] Good. Good, how are you?
Zeina and Farhana are fighting?
I'm like, "Wait, this is too much for me. Like, what is going on?"
Zeina, come here. Zeina.
-[Zeina] What? -There's no drama, come here.
[Zeina] No, babe. I'm not interested at all.
[mockingly] "I'm doing a photo shoot. Oh, she's so nosy!"
This is so stupid!
She's talking about the same thing over and over again.
As if she has nothing else to talk about.
-[woman] It's fine. -What's this drama?
What nonsense is that?
[mockingly] "Oh, my God! She's so nosy!"
What nonsense is that?
What's with that idiot?
We didn't think we'd all be in the same location.
You knew where Bliss was?
[Danya] He was going to LJ's thing. I was as well.
This is LJ's thing.
It's a vast desert and you picked this location.
Who does she think she is? I went to say hello and she goes,
[mockingly] "She's so nosy!" Does she think she's better than me?
-We don't even compare! -[Danya] Right.
-Zeina, listen. -[Zeina] Let her stay there!
[Danya] Zeina's upset because--
I'm upset because she's been gossiping about me.
-[Zeina] You can be upset. -And I'm sorry.
At least, whatever I am doing, it's for my son.
You're doing it for your own glory.
Let me know when you're done and ready to listen.
You don't have your kids to support, I have my kid to support.
I don't have my kids to support?
I didn't feel the need to explain who I am or my point of view.
She wants to show people how important she is.
[Farhana] …saying everything is sponsored.
It's sponsored and I get paid for it. It's my work.
If someone will tramp on my toes… Oh, my God.
And you keep talking about it
-over and over and over again. -[LJ sighs]
[Zeina] Tell me when you are done and ready to listen.
If you think it's appropriate to come and have a fight with her here,
then no.
'Cause you're in my getaway.
So if you want to talk to Zeina, have some respect.
Okay!
-[woman] Farhana, how are you? -I'm good.
-[woman] You okay? -Yes.
-I'm good. -[woman] Yeah?
[LJ] She was up to no good.
She came looking for trouble and I wasn't okay with that.
Listen, I think…
[Bliss] What's going on?
-We bumped into Farhana. -You missed the getaway.
-Again? -[Fadie] We heard so much.
Can you guys update us?
'Cause we heard you from all the way there.
-You did? -Oh, yeah.
But seriously, uh…
Look, can I say just a summary of what happened?
LJ and Zeina, the beautiful princesses, Arabian princesses, were sitting here,
and we showed up with our car and I had no idea
it was the same location we're doing the photo shoot for Farhana.
It was like, "What? What is going on?"
Danya is not really what I thought she was.
Maybe she has some kind of hidden agenda.
We were having dinner with Safa--
-[Bliss] Yeah. -Uh, and Ebraheem.
Yeah.
Apparently, someone told her the discussion that we were having.
-It wasn't me. -It wasn't Danya.
And Safa doesn't talk to Farhana so I think it's Ebraheem.
For a while now, I've felt that Ebraheem
is two-faced.
So I decided not to confront him at dinner time.
Perhaps I should talk to Safa to get her view.
I won't make a scene in the getaway.
[electronic music playing]
Fahad wears his heart on his sleeve and we solve our problems on the same day.
But I feel like he's still upset about the surrogacy thing,
and that he's still mad at me.
Are you excited to go?
You have anything else to surprise me with?
Regarding?
Like the last time you dropped in a surprise for me.
So?
-Are there any more surprises? -Do you want more surprises?
So?
[tense music playing]
-So what? -So what do you want?
Oh, my God, are you gonna start off with this shit again? I'm serious.
Excuse me?
No, seriously, I don't want to go somewhere
if you're gonna embarrass me in front of people more.
When she broke the surrogacy surprise…
FAHAD SIDDIQUI
…at home with Kris and, uh, Bliss,
it took me by shock.
We're going for LJ's event that she had held in the desert,
and she informed me that everyone's gonna be there.
I didn't want something like that to happen again.
I don't even like this car anymore.
[engine roaring]
I don't want any, this thing, drama.
-What drama is there, honestly? -No, again,
we're going out and I don't want any more surprises there.
Just don't complain then.
I'm trying to find solutions. What have you done?
Go by yourself. I'm… I'm not going anywhere.
[dramatic music playing]
[horn honking]
How can he leave me in the car when we were about to go out?
Hello?
What the fuck is this?
What, you're going to just storm off?
You're not discussing anything, you're just dropping a bomb.
Are you so selfish that you only think about yourself?
-Give me the fucking key. -It's inside the car.
-It's not there. -And who the fuck are you talking to?
-Watch your language. -You walked off.
I'm not going. Go by yourself.
Ciao.
-Alina. Did you come with your toys? -Yeah.
Give me a kiss.
[kisses]
Love you.
Are you sitting here? I thought you were going.
-You took the keys. -I told you it's inside the car.
So I should start going out without a husband?
Do I not have a husband?
-You do, but if you're gonna be-- -Am I single?
I was trying to surprise you so you'd be happy.
Happy, why? How?
How?
You don't even know anything.
-You haven't even gone to the doctor. -Have you done anything?
Have you gone to the doctor? No, right?
-Don't yell. -Then why?
I can yell. This is not yelling.
Don't yell.
You know, I thought you were so open-minded…
Listen, dude, it's not about being open-minded.
I thought you were so educated.
Hear me out. Stop… stop gassing the whole thing.
And then what?
It's not about being open-minded.
-It's about first finding out-- -Your voice is too loud.
Huh?
[Fahad sighs]
You need to understand first if you can go have a child yourself or not,
you need to first go to the gynec for that.
This is why we need another five years to have a kid.
-Oh, my God. -'Cause you act like a child yourself.
-I'm not going anymore. -Okay, don't go.
[door slams]
[gripping music playing]
[Zeina] Safa, my dear,
where are you? Everyone is asking about you.
LJ and I were hanging out, and lo and behold,
Farhana shows up and starts yelling at me.
"You've been talking about me behind my back."
I really needed you here.
We need to know which member of the group is tattling on us to Farhana.
-[LJ] Hi. How are you? -[Kris] How are you?
The place looked amazing. The set-up was great.
The dining table looked great. It was all perfectly organized.
To me, it's all about the company.
[Kris] Brianna, you're here, baby.
-[Danya] Stunning. -[Kris] You're right.
First, I'd like to thank you for coming today.
I hope you enjoy the dinner. And after dinner there'll be entertainment
with Bliss.
That's it. I hope more happy occasions keep bringing us together in the future.
-Amen. Always. -[men] Amen.
-[Danya] Thank you. -[Kris whooping]
By the way, the flowers look great. Let me--
Yes, thank you so much, Ebraheem.
-They are beautiful. -[Ebraheem] It's nothing.
I feel like I did Ebraheem wrong by misjudging him when we first met.
I really feel bad. I'm sorry.
I felt like that came from the heart.
EBRAHEEM AL SAMADI
I felt the same afterwards. I felt like I misjudged her.
-I hope you forgive me. -Of course I do.
It's hard to judge someone the first time you meet.
You can't judge a book by its cover, you don't know what's inside.
-You need to get to know-- -Our situation was somewhat…
We first met on a date,
so it was a little bit intense for both of us.
-I was nervous. -There's formality and shyness.
-And nervousness, yes. -[LJ] Yeah.
[laughter]
I think we should be talking now
about Kris and Brianna's plans for their wedding.
Uh, yeah, we're about five weeks away.
But I've learnt, as she prepares for the wedding,
to, uh, just back off a little bit.
[Brianna] Well…
Because I realize if I want to have my involvement,
it just gets like, "No!"
[Danya] And you're okay with that, Brianna?
Yeah. I do, yeah.
Do you feel like you have a voice?
-[man] Oh, my God. -[Kris] I will answer the question!
-She has a voice! -I have a… [chuckles]
"Do you have a voice?"
And I just didn't even… It didn't even register.
I don't know. I feel sorry for her. 'Cause where did that come from?
No, I didn't mean it like that, Kris.
[indistinct chatter]
[LJ] But if you keep thinking like this, you'll get tired.
It's too much thinking, guys. Come on.
-All right, I'm going. -[laughter]
Judge people by their intentions.
-[Kris] I can't believe it! -Seriously!
You walk away on me in my marriage proposal to Brianna?
I'm out!
Okay, yeah, so you're in the middle of the desert and you're leaving.
[chuckles]
He wanted to get back at me, but it didn't work because it's a long way home.
You didn't even come and get me.
[LJ] No, you didn't come and get me.
Ah!
-It was my… It was our special night. -[LJ] And it's my special night tonight.
And that's why we're not gonna leave.
-Thank you. -[Bliss] Yes.
[LJ] Thank you.
[gripping music playing]
[Hanna] Bravo!
We had loads of entertainment.
We had this one acrobat girl who came out and she was going all around this ring.
It was really beautiful
and there were great people around so it was excellent.
Wow!
[laughter]
Okay. Who knew the location before?
-[Bliss] Hey, we met you-- -Ebraheem.
Did you say anything to Farhana?
[Ebraheem clears throat]
-You know she showed up? -No one did.
I swear to God I didn't.
[LJ] I asked Ebraheem if he had told Farhana
about the location where I planned the getaway.
I don't know if he's lying.
And I hope that he's not because I don't like to have two-faced friends.
The truth will come out eventually.
[Hanna] I was shocked to see that.
I mean, as we can see now, surely Ebraheem is the one who told Farhana.
[tense music playing]
Maybe she's stalking me. Oh, my God!
[laughter]
I think it is time for us to start partying.
Everyone, get ready, we're gonna have some fun.
-Okay? All right. -[Fadie] Cool.
[Danya] Go, husband!
[Bliss] LJ, I need you in two minutes, all right?
-Okay. -[Bliss] Two minutes.
[upbeat music playing]
[all cheering]
[LJ] I was always curious to know how they switch songs.
And it's kind of cool and fun.
♪ One life, Dubai ♪
DJ LJ!
[all cheering]
[Bliss] LJ is like the Paris Hilton of the Middle East.
She jumps into the DJ booth, she's already acting like she's DJ'ing.
Honestly, there could be a DJ LJ coming soon.
DJ LJ, let's go!
[upbeat song playing]
Make some noise!
Oh, LJ, LJ, LJ.
Wait, do you have a crush on my husband? What is going on?
Girl, watch out.
Like, no one's touching my husband, that's for sure.
One, two, three, go!
-[upbeat music playing] -[man vocalizing]
I messaged Fahad, "Yo, bro, why weren't you at the party?"
And then, he's like, "Yo, let's meet up,
let's get some food and I'll tell you about what happened."
We had a long day at the desert
and honestly, I was wondering why you and Safa weren't there.
[sighs] We all got ready to get out.
And, uh, all I said,
when I was walking towards the car was,
"I hope you're not gonna have any more surprises planned for me."
Oh, because of the…
-The surrogacy? -Yeah.
And she just got mad.
-Don't worry, everything will be okay. -[groans]
-Are you hungry? -Let's go grab food.
Let's get some food.
I respect Bliss and me, uh, and him get along well,
uh, so he understands certain points of views that I had.
♪ 'Cause we keep going in circles ♪
-Nice. Cheers, man. -Cheers, man.
What about Danya? She gets mad at you often?
I'm not gonna lie, I mean, she does,
but I do feel sometimes, like, maybe she's holding back
and not telling me how she feels.
But you don't… You haven't wanted to speak to her about this?
Uh…
I don't want to open that box.
I'm… I'm dreading having that conversation.
Honestly, I don't like confronting,
but when you have someone that you spend your life with and you see everyday,
you don't want anyone to feel a certain way
or keep their feelings aside.
It's like a balloon,
if you keep blowing it up, one day, it's gonna pop.
I think, like, women, you know,
there's lot of hormones going on, they're…
Especially after Danya gave birth also, like, really,
she kind of understands a lot better now.
Yeah, having that conversation will just reassure her
-that you love her unconditionally. -You're right.
Like, regardless of whatever happens.
I'm gonna take you up on that offer.
Only if you promise to take Safa on a surprise,
maybe just a dinner would be great
just the two of you, bro.
-Just the two of us. -Two of you.
'Cause the guys have to be the bigger person always.
-Hundred percent. -But you gotta act like you're 16 again.
I want you to take it back, back, back.
Let's get the missus to get along and let's get them…
-[laughing] -No, bro, you're on your own on this one.
You're on your own.
It's time for you to catch up.
[both laughing]
[upbeat music playing]
Lojain, Safa, and I are meeting for a chat and a nice meal.
We want to enjoy the restaurant.
[mellow music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
You look great!
-How are you? -Fine, thanks. And you?
And how are you?
-Good. -Good?
Firstly, tell me why you didn't join us in the desert.
-Give me the details. -[sighs]
Fahad is a little bit disappointed.
Does he think we're talking you into the surrogacy?
Not at all.
On the contrary, if he finds out we're trying to talk her out of it,
for religious and social considerations and many others,
he'll appreciate that and encourage her to maintain this friendship. [chuckles]
Thank you.
He has every right to be upset.
I'm thinking of becoming friends with Fahad.
[Lojain laughs]
-[Zeina] I felt like-- -I have a problem. I need the surrogacy.
-You want to have a problem. -[Zeina] My thoughts exactly.
You can bear his child,
but instead you're trying to push this idea aside and dismiss it.
I know Safa very well. She's a bit spoiled and used to getting what she wants.
She can't just think about herself. She has to think about the entire family.
[Safa] I want another kid,
but I'm just remembering all the complications.
Is your period regular?
Speaking of my periods, I'm super late.
-What? -[chuckling] Like a week late.
Your period--
May we celebrate a healthy pregnancy…
-[Zeina] It's late? -…and may it be a smooth one.
-Did you tell him? -If you don't like a smell or taste,
tell us, so we don't get in trouble with Fahad.
-Did you do a pregnancy test? -No.
-You need to. -No.
-[Zeina] You need to. -The baby shower is on me.
God is telling you…
God is telling you that it's His will, not yours.
Good thing you didn't come to the desert. It wouldn't have been good for the baby.
-[Lojain laughs] -[laughs]
Of course Zeina's happy,
because she's not the one that has to go through it.
If we're gonna play this, okay,
each one of us needs to break a plate
for something, for a reason.
This is to thinking about childbirth.
Okay.
-I hope she's pregnant. -[laughs]
To anyone who tries to break us.
Yeah, break it! [exclaims]
[Lojain] Go ahead.
-That was angry. -Go ahead.
This one is for fake people.
I know who she has in mind.
[laughter]
To anyone who undermines any woman in this world.
To eating endless food and not gaining weight!
All about calories!
I love you all.
It was such a stress relief, I loved it.
[all] Opa!
[upbeat Greek music playing]
Opa!
[electronic music playing]
I asked Ebraheem to meet me, uh, over a pottery session.
-[Ebraheem] Hello, hello. -Hi, babe!
-Oh, my God, how's it going? -[Ebraheem] How are you?
I thought it'll be nice to get away from everything and just chill
and talk about everything.
-I want to ask you something. -Okay.
Like, how all of a sudden you're switching sides.
Like, I saw on Instagram,
you actually went to LJ's house, and you were posting photos
-with her dog Chanel. -Okay.
You even went to the desert. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Like, come on, you're supposed to be my frickin' friend.
-And you're switching sides, what is this? -Okay. Okay.
So if someone didn't do anything wrong to me,
okay, I would not do anything wrong to them.
But she did wrong to me.
And if someone did that to you, I'd have your back all the time.
I have… Farhana, I have your back.
But hang on, a couple of weeks ago,
you were on my side, like, "Yeah, that's wrong."
It's wrong, but she had her own story.
-But she's lying. -Yeah, but--
How do you not even know…
How can you just believer her? You just recently met her.
You've known me longer.
She sounds like a broken record!
[imitates whirring]
She asked me to come so early in the morning,
she woke me up in the morning to ruin my mood?
Of course she'd be nice 'cause she knows you're my friend.
She's trying to do this so that all of you guys can gang up against me.
That's what she's doing.
So you think it was irrelevant and good that you posted that? Of course not.
-I-- -That was wrong.
-And you know that was wrong. -Yeah.
I'm very possessive over my friends.
I'm sorry, but I'm very possessive over you.
You're supposed to be my buddy.
Farhana, enough! Stop it!
Oh, my God!
Enough. I'm tired of this subject, I'm tired of it, really.
What?
It's too much, I'm tired of… I did not come here to gossip,
-to talk about this thing. -Like, come on, what is this?
This is so rude!
She kept talking about the same subject.
"LJ this, and LJ that," non-stop. I've had enough!
This subject has taken up a lot of my time,
used up my energy, took away my comfort.
It penetrated my thoughts and ruined my mood.
-No, like-- -I told you three times, let's stop.
No, but as a friend, you're supposed to listen to me.
But I said three times to change the subject,
I'm tired of this negative talk. Come on!
I'm not gonna say anything to you anymore.
Definitely, she's faking her friendship with Ebraheem
because I know LJ so well, she does not care about anyone.
The sooner he realizes it, the better for him.

I decided that let's go to Dubai Eye. Me and Safa haven't been there yet.
And I wanted to end this whole fight.

-You like the view? -It's beautiful.

It's okay.
I know you are how you are.
You get heated in the moment.
You don't want to call peace?
I do want peace.
Of course I want peace. I love you.
I love you too.
After all the fights that we've been having recently,
it was just really nice to reconnect.
Because I do want it to be a two-way thing,
I want us to be together,
deciding things for us and our family.
So, I saw Zeina.
Ah.
And, uh, she can't get the house next door.
They just sold it three months ago.
So she said, you're gonna like pay way above the market price.
So she suggested, like,
maybe, if you're gonna pay a lot more than market value,
you could look at different properties. I said, "Fahad is not up for that."
Have a look, I have no problem,
but this is my reservation, that I don't want to move from here.
It's because Mom, Alina…
It's not about the house, it's also the memories.
I have memories with my mother in that house.
For me, these memories are more important.
It's just a discussion. If it makes sense, we can at least consider it.
Cool.

So, what about the baby?
We need to be on board about having a few years

-What about-- -Do you think you can support…
Because I'm taking my fashion stuff seriously.
I've always loved fashion.
As soon as I opened up my Instagram,
I was getting really amazing collaborations,
I got a really big fashion house telling me, "Can we collaborate with you?"
I was, like, super excited, I was up all night sketching, doing everything.
When I gave birth to Alina, it was so demanding,
so I've stopped working.
I'm finally in a place, I have a really supportive husband.
All I really want to start thinking about…
Building a career that's something creative for me.
I want to get back to work,
but not in real estate.
So I decided to open up my fashion brand just to show my designs.
And I want to do this now.
I'm really excited because I got all the fabrics.
I'm looking into putting on, like, a collection together.
Whatever you want, I'm there.
♪ Ooh… ♪
Hopefully, we continue to be communicative,
and we don't hold things back.
That was the thought behind it. I love her.
I hope I'm everything that you want.
Of course you are.
More than everything I want. You and Alina are the world for me.
Oh, blah! [giggles]
I did get a bit emotional
because Fahad has not expressed himself like this to me in a very long time.
For him to kind of say it to me after so many years,
like, it was nice, it was special.
Why am I crying? Fuck.
[sniffles] Yeah.
-Cheers. -Cheers.
-I love you. -I love you too.
I'm definitely not going to be telling Fahad I'm late with my period.

I see you've been practicing.
Today we got to play basketball, which was cool,
with Hanna and Zeina.
Noushie and Kikki, my daughters, were coming as well.
So it was gonna be a family day, which was nice.
-[Zeina] No injuries before the wedding. -Oh, my God.
Walk down the aisle like this.
[Brianna] But he's super competitive.
-I'm not competitive. -Extremely.

Isn't that-- I thought that's what we were gonna do.
[Zeina] Hey!

Daddy's the best, always, Daddy's the best.

[Kris] Show us what you got. Take a few shots.
Try to hit that square. Yes, it's in.
-[all cheer] -[Hanna] She's better than you, Kris.
-Enough, come. Let's leave them. -Okay.
-[Kris] Where you going? -[Zeina] Gonna chill here.
What are you talking about? I haven't even started.
-[Zeina] You had fun in the desert? -I did, yeah.
-It was beautiful. -It was a nice experience.
Danya was saying that, uh,
"Do you feel your voice is taken?"
-No, no. -What was it?
She said something like…
Yeah, she was like, "Do you feel like your voice is heard?"
Yeah.
And I was like… [chuckles]
When she was talking to Kris,
it gave an impression as if he was a bit controlling.
And you were like the…
Uh… [laughs]
Right. Is that what people thought? Is that what you thought?
I know you a little bit more.
-But basically, this was the impression. -Yeah, yeah.
I can see why people think that, but no. I mean…
I'm not trying to convince you or anyone,
-like, "I'm not." -You're not. I know.
No way he's controlling, he's a provider,
and I mean, how is that controlling in any way?
And that word is not cool.
-Hi. -What are you guys talking about?
-A lot. -Yeah.
We came here to play basketball, you guys are just talking.
Yeah. It's okay.
What are you talking about?
Spiritual training.
-Spiritual training? -Yeah.
Um…
Come on, bounce, bounce.
I feel like Kris is trying
to give Brianna more breathing space
to act on her own.
He just can't help but interfere with some details.
-[Hanna] I got you covered. -[Kris] Go, Kikki.
-They're so cute. -Yeah, they're good.
-Actually… -And they look so different.
Are you guys planning to grow this family?
Inshallah, as they say. Yeah, of course.
I would love to have a child of my own.
It's a different experience, I would think.
It's a feeling that no one can describe.
[Brianna] After marrying Kris, I would love to have a little boy
'cause he's just in a household of women,
he'd be such a good dad to a little boy.
But, uh, I also have an autoimmune disease.
-Yeah. -Graves'.
-Which is hyperthyroidism. -Okay.
So my hormones, you know, they're just all over the place.
And I only knew because I was feeling super anxious,
I was getting heart palpitations, weight loss, hair loss,
and just, yeah, I went to the doctor's, got a blood test and that was it.
-Are you taking medication? -Now I'm on medication.
I've always wanted to have kids.
But I was told that the medication I'm on,
I'm not able to have children for about a year.
[Zeina] I really sympathize with her.
After becoming a mother,
I gained a better understanding of the situation.
[Kris] Shoot it!
[all cheering]
[Hanna] Good job!
[rap song playing]
[engine revving]
I have three offices,
but I'd rather be at the café,
talk to the employees and get things done.
And at the same time, get to make decisions on how to improve the place.
[dramatic music playing]
Well, well, well, well, well.
Look who we have here. [chuckles]
You guys look like you're coming for a fight.
All of a sudden, Zeina and Safa show up, looking angry.
I was shocked.
[chuckles]
-[Zeina] One question. -Okay.
Did you tell Farhana that we talked about her at dinner
after her birthday party?
Yes, I did.
What were you thinking?
It wasn't fair for her that you guys were talking about her.
[Zeina] What is the point of that?
Telling someone something you know would cause trouble?
That's not my intention. You were talking about her,
-so I told her. It's simple. -[Zeina] Yeah.
It's not the same when someone does that to add fuel to the fire.
No.
It's like you're enjoying it.
Not at all.
What did I do for them to come over and gang up on me?
This isn't right.
Getting up,
calling to tell them people are talking about you is dramatic.
It's dramatic, it's adding fuel to the fire, yes or no?
-Instead of saying, "Farhana's not here--" -Wait, calm down.
What's the difference if you told her now or later?
-You got up from dinner to tell her. -So what?
Safa, she's following Zeina.
She has a lot of time.
She's married a rich guy, spends his money and talks about people.
If it was you guys in this situation and someone talked about you,
-you guys would tell each other. -[Safa] Like high school girls.
Like high school girls, right?
What's the big deal if I said it now or later?
Talking to Ebraheem is talking like a chihuahua that just barks.
I always say to my employees--
I'm not your employee.
You're not, but maybe one day, you will be.
I always say to my employees,
"We know the problem, what's the solution?"
To me, what he said was silly and very childish.
You made a problem.
-You talked about her. -[Safa] Hang on.
Someone who doesn't want to make problems,
-why did you tell Farhana… -You went and…
The king of gossip and drama, two-faced,
and now, to me, he's a spy.
When I sit on tables, I close deals.
I do business, I don't sit there and talk about bags or fake
or this or that.
Oh, so we're talking about… We don't close deals.
So you're trying to undermine us now?
-Don't put words in my mouth, Safa. -[Safa] Is this what you're saying?
You two are beneath me.
Screw you.
[dramatic music playing]
Zeina is a troublemaker.
She came looking for trouble. She came with bad intentions.
To my work, to my workplace. I'll make her pay one day.
