-Have you seen this? -Hmm?
-What is that? -What is the caption?
It's Ebraheem and LJ.
#spreadlove.
#makepeace.
#twofaced.
-If only she knew-- -[hissing] #snake.
If only she knew what he said about her behind her back.
-She doesn't know what he said? -No, she doesn't.
You and I are not like Ebraheem.
We didn't tell LJ what Ebraheem said about her.
-No, you're so busy closing deals, no? -Yes.
If your business
is to sell a cup of coffee or a French toast
I sell buildings.
He's silly, two-faced and a hypocrite.
Change the subject before I get mad.
Okay, let's talk about something else.
My fashion show is this week.
I'm all stressed from this fashion show.
Fahad keeps asking,
"Why are you doing this? Why are you rushing it?"
Honestly? Because I want to start producing the line ASAP.
-We will do it. -By the way,
Fahad, this beautiful surprise for Valentine's Day.
This apartment, you need to list it for us and rent it for us ASAP.
-Hmm. Hmm. -Before that, I want to paint the walls.
-Trash it. And just… [exhales] -Hmm.
What do you think? It'll be so therapeutic.
-Honestly-- -Do you like this idea?
[clicks tongue] I really need it.
You need this paint idea, right?
I need to… I'm suffocating.
Pent up.
[Zeina groans and exhales]
I'm so tired. I'm so, so tired.
From what?
[clicks tongue] Uh…
[voice shaking] Everybody always says, "How do you balance?"
"How do you do it?"
Well, you know what?
For one of the first times in my life,
I feel I'm not balancing.
[somber music playing]
It's really sad to see the Queen of Versace crying.
It's like…
Not been seen, not been heard of.
What do you mean, you're not balancing?
[clicks tongue] Uh…
[sniffles] At work,
everybody wants me to spend more time.
It's never enough.
I feel I'm not spending quality time with the kids.
I know nothing about what's happening in their school.
If Alexa says, "Mom!" three times in a row,
I lose my nerve and start yelling, "What is it, Alexa?!"
And that Bumblebee account,
while I don't believe any of it, I don't believe it, okay?
But I think it was like an eye-opener.
-It's like… -What if?
Am I giving enough time to Hanna and our relationship?
I've been working for the past 15 to 20 years of my life.
I need to spend quality time with my family.
I didn't think that Bumble thing bothered you.
Maybe it's a hint.
As in focus more on Hanna and your relationship.
But it's not him, right?
No! Oh, no.
Let's try and find the guy.
No, no, no!
Come on. Let's try and find him.
I'd open up a Bumblebee account just to see,
"Let's find this freak who's made some catfish account of her husband,
let's find out who he is."
Ali…
Are you playing the game
or searching for the guy who used Hanna's picture?
Go through them. But why did you dwell on Ali?
-I felt that you are thinking about it. -[laughs]
Come on.
This app is nice.
-What do you think? [laughs] -[chuckles]
[gasps] Fahad. [laughs]
[playful music playing]
-Eff off. -[laughing]
Oh, my God! I pressed "interested" 'cause I swiped back.
I swiped back!

[tram bell dinging]
[indistinct chatter]
[Lojain] The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques,
King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud
issued a royal statement that the 22nd of February
of each year will mark the Saudi Founding Day.
This is the first celebration, I won't miss it.
[laughter]
[LJ] Lojain Omran invited me.
For me, it's very exciting
because my kids are Saudi,
and my husband was Saudi, may he rest in peace.
So, surely,
I'd love to take part in Saudi traditions.
-[imperceptible] -[laughter]
[Kris] Look at this thing.
-[Farhana] So good. -[Kris] What is the name of this one?
KRIS FADE
-Lugimat. -Lugimat.
That looks so good.
Tell me, did you make up with Farhana?
Yes, we did.
-Ebraheem encouraged it. -How?
He invited me for coffee,
and she just walked in--
-[Farhana] Hi, LJ. -Hi.
How are you? I like the green you're wearing.
-You look pretty. -I like what you're wearing.
[Zeina] Farhana and LJ
are friends again, even though both of them
were against it before.
So, what made it…
Because you said, "Over my dead body."
You said, "Unless she apologizes on Instagram."
FARHANA BODI
What was different this time?
These gatherings are suspicious.
-It's about the reunion. -We're telling fun stories.
I hope for positive vibes.
-Thank you. -I'm so happy for you girls.
-I think it was for the best. -Of course.
I can be with Farhana
in a social setting.
But making her my go-to person? No.
Farhana, welcome back to the circle.
[Farhana laughs]
No, nobody kicked me out of that circle.
Even though I was so deeply hurt.
But I decided that I will forgive.
-Thanks for excluding me for some time. -[LJ laughs]
Now, are you two okay?
-[Farhana] We're good. -You can put us next to each other.
-Okay, everyone put their hands in. -No drama.
Come on, everyone put your hands in.
It's a restart.
One, two, three!
[all cheer]
[upbeat Middle Eastern music playing]
On this occasion, a crucial part of the entertainment
is to have a Saudi show
to reflect the Saudi traditions.
[captivating Middle Eastern music playing]
May God bless our kingdom.
I wish to celebrate this day every year.
If God may.
I knew that Lojain was so busy with the event.
I felt it wasn't the right time to talk about it.
But I wanted to ask her about my mother
and if she responded to the text.
What happened?
Uh…
She opened Instagram, but she didn't see the text.
I keep checking, but I think your mother is busy, so she hasn't read it yet.
I don't know, but I'm waiting.
I want you to have a closure that satisfies you
so you avoid blaming yourself one day for not trying.
I just don't want you to feel regret, that's the most important thing.
I will not give up, but I'm going to give it some more time.
Yes.
Let me know if anything comes up.
Of course I will.
-Let's hope for the best. -God willing.

So, where to?
Going to play golf for the first time.
-Do you know how to play golf? -No, they will teach me.
-Really? -Yes.
After telling everyone about Hanna's Bumblebee account,
I decided today to talk to him about it.
Hey, Gilles?
Gilles?
HANNA AZZI
This is my picture
for the newspaper.
This is a Bumblebee account.
What is it?
A dating app.
[laughs]
Why do they have my picture there?
Tell me who that is.
Whoo! Look how handsome.
-I'm telling you it's a dating app. -What is this dating app?
It's a fake. They took my picture.
-So it's not you. -Of course not.
What's wrong?
We always talk and communicate,
and if Zeina is in doubt,
it wouldn't exceed 1%.
Her doubts wouldn't grow.
Weren't you surprised?
Honestly,
they took my picture, I'm flattered.
I-- I need you to take this seriously.
I know you. You're such a mature person.
You wouldn't believe that.
[Zeina] Because of my work,
I've been absent from home.
That's a main reason I believed.
Everyone around me thinks I'm stupid for trusting you.
They say all men cheat.
The last thing I need is for them to say
-I'm neglecting my home and husband. -I don't need someone at work…
And that you're on Bumblebee.
Can I have a kiss?
-Can you take this seriously? -Okay, okay. I will.
Are we okay?
We are very much okay.
Is okay enough for us?
Yes, more than enough. I love you.
You know how much I adore you.
Now we're going through a phase.
We're just busy, but it will pass.
We'll be fine. We'll go on a summer vacation.
We're good.
Is it bothering you that I'm absent and you're watching the kids
-on the weekends? -No.
And I assure them that when you are done working
you'll go out with us,
and we'll have fun together.
I just wish you are a part of that equation.
I appreciate everything that you do for us.
Is there someone
trying to get close to you?
-What kind of a question is that? -Bring you donuts, for instance.
[chuckles]
-Does someone show such gestures? -No.
You know me, if someone
tried to do so, I'd throw the donuts away,
and ask them to leave.
You know me.
Hanna is straightforward. I'm just curious.
Everyday, I see and feel Hanna's love for me and the family.
I love you.
[kisses]
[dramatic music playing]
I want reconfirmation.
He's given me the confirmation I need.
To me, the issue is done.

[upbeat music playing]
[Bliss] Today it's the boys' day out.
Away from the women.
MARWAN AL-AWADHI
I've got my golf gear on, the pants, the hat.
Got the glasses and I've got my golf clubs. Let's go golfing.
[Bliss] Whoo!
I hope you're ready for some golf.
Too hard.
-[all cheer] -Okay!
-No-look. No way! -Oh!
Actually not bad.
-Almost. Almost. -[Kris] That wasn't bad.
[Fahad] That was good.
FAHAD SIDDIQUI
-[Kris] Do you know what golf stands for? -[Hanna] No.
Gentlemen only, ladies forbidden.
I hope it is. The girls will be after you.
Ladies, I like you, ladies. I want you to play.
-[Fahad laughing] -But it's a beautiful sport, bro.
You can get away from everything.
Bro, trust me, I… I need to get away. I got to tell you guys what happened.
I'm trying to be in the studio more often. I took my wife there the other day,
and I thought things were going super well.
I made a song for her.
-I put her name in the song. -What?
It was like a Valentine's Day surprise.
But then,
she just went on about how she keeps her feelings inside--
Is that what happened? She's jealous.
You found out that she's jealous and upset?
She says that she gets jealous, but she keeps it inside.
'Cause when she used to tell me, I used to freak out about it.
-And-- -My suggestion to you was
you should talk to her.
This was all Fahad's fault. Why did I listen to you, bro?
I love you. But why?
[all exclaim]
-Bro! -Jump!
[laughter]
-[Fahad] How are the wedding preps, Kris? -I'm trying not to get involved right now.
I think it's, uh…
They're asking me for decisions which they've already made.
So they're asking me, "What do you think about this?"
And then I give my choice.
Then they say, "No, we're already going with this."
-[chuckles] -And then I get frustrated.
[Hanna] Women are crazy, bro.
It's funny you guys are talking about this 'cause this morning,
-literally before I came here… -[chuckles]
…Zeina stops me and she says, "Hanna."
"Why are you on Bumble?"
Ooh!
-[Hanna] I said-- -[Bliss] What?
-[Fahad] Sorry? -[Hanna] Bumble.
-Bumblebee, or something. -What is it?
-[Hanna] I don't know. -It's like Tinder.
[Hanna] Exactly. The dating app.
She says, "Look." She turns around. There's an account with my picture.
I said, "I have no clue what you're talking about."
"I mean, who is this guy?"
So it's a complete fake profile.
-It is. -[Kris] She understands?
Then I had to sit down with Zeina and I had to elaborate.
And I had to tell her, "I love you. You're my life."
"But, you know, if someone shared this with you,
don't ever listen to this."
I've been in relationships previously, where I was cheating.
Nothing worse. You're trying to live these two lives.
You don't want to get caught. It's horrible.
Now, especially I think, in our age,
if you're gonna find someone to settle down with,
or you're in a relationship, that's it.
You guys are making me not want to get married.
I was going to say, does all this conversation not want you to find…
No, it actually makes me want to get married.
-It does. -[Bliss] Whenever there are girls around,
there's drama falling from the sky.
I love the drama, bro.
[laughter]
[Bliss] Let's go, Fahad.
[Fadie] All right. We're off. Let's go.

-[Zeina] Hello? -[Safa] Zeina?
Safa called me panicking,
as usual.
She's preparing her fashion show, and I thought she's just late.
What's going on?
I have a big problem.
The models…
Go on.
-Speak faster-- -One of the girls canceled on me.
[exclaims]
And it's tomorrow.
I'll look for someone to fill in.
What size are the clothes you made?
-Model sizes. Thirty-six. -What are the sizes?
Did you call Farhana?
-Farhana's traveling? -Yeah.
But I was thinking, you can do it.
[exclaims] No!
You have the height. And you look beautiful.
You'll make my clothes look good.
[whimsical music playing]
I can't think of anyone better but her, because of how beautiful she is
and how I want my clothes represented.
How would that size fit me? I'm size 40, 42.
Size 36 is too small for me.
You're crazy.
[clicks tongue]
She must have lost it.
We'll take the measurement, and it's fine.
I'll adjust it tonight.
Why don't you ask LJ?
For me, height is something that I lack.
Ebraheem is tall. [laughs]
Why are you doing this to me?
Zeina.
[laughing] What is that expression?
What is it?
Don't distract me. You're gonna do it.
We look silly like Farha and Marha.
She makes the clothes for the other one to wear.
I like this "Farha and Marha".
I don't know what that means, but I'll assume it's a good thing.
It just reminds me of a period I don't like in my life.
I promised myself I'm not going to model again.
I used to model a long time ago.
I weighed five to six kilos
more than the standard model.
It was too much pressure.
[smacks lips] I was borderline bulimic.
-Really? -Hmm.
You were making yourself vomit?
Yes.
I used to eat a lot and then I vomit.
It was a very, very dark period in my life.
Society pressures women to have a certain appearance.
I promised myself to never get into a situation where people can judge me.
You're at a different stage now. You'll do my clothes justice.
Darling, I love you, and I know you think I'm beautiful.
I know I'm not perfect, but I learned to love my imperfections.
If you really love yourself, you'll be able to do it.
Because your friend is in need.
-You have no other option available? -No.
[clicks tongue]
You owe me a big one.
[upbeat music playing]
-[laughs] -Yes, Farha.
My weight won't change overnight.
Wow, my face lands in your boob. [laughs]
Stand on this.
[Safa laughs]
[Safa] I got you, girl. Don't worry.

"Wow, this is happening."

Okay, let's get to work.
Where's the models?
I haven't done this before.
This is my first attempt, so I'm not sure what to even expect.
Where's my superstar model? Zeina, come here.
You need to be part of the modeling.
My beautiful model.
Wow. Superstar model.
-[Zeina] Hi! -Okay. You're actually the same height.
-Are we? No, I think she's-- -She's taller.
[laughing] Both of them are much taller.
Ready for your debut?
Is my dress bigger?
Yes.
[Zeina] I want to help Safa
more than wearing a dress I can't move freely in.
-Red. -[Zeina] If it's big and long and…
-[Zeina gasps] -[Safa] It's fine.
[Zeina sighs] Super short.
I don't think that length suits me.
Impossible.
It's too short, it's too small.
No, it's fine.

but I committed to doing it.
Everyone and all our friends are gonna be shocked.
They will be like, "Oh, my God! Who's this model?"
And then, you're gonna come out last.
She looked so beautiful. I'm proud that she looks so good.

Let me check what he said, 'cause I told him I'm coming.

Okay. Ebraheem said, "I wasn't invited."

Zeina is the prettiest woman. She walked with confidence.
Super confident. She's perfect.
-Hanna, can we look at the dress? -[chuckles]
[LJ] So pretty.
When I saw Zeina, I knew why Ebraheem wasn't invited.
So I sent him the video, and he said, "So cheap."
[Zeina] During my 30 seconds on the runway,
I felt like, "I don't care if you think I'm not the right size."
The moment was super liberating.
[all cheering]
[Kris] That is amazing!
That's amazing!
That is fantastic!
[Fahad] I'm really proud of her.
What she's achieved over the last few days, it's amazing.
It's been a dream of mine
to, uh, create a collection,
and finally I've had the time to do it.
So I couldn't think of anything more special
than having the closest people to me to see this moment for me.
So thank you so much for coming.
-[all cheering] -Say, "Thank you," Lulu.
Whoo!
-[LJ] Congratulations! -[Safa] Thank you!
[LJ] It was amazing!
-Well done. -Thank you.
-[Danya] Good job, Safa. -Thank you.
[Danya] It was beautiful.
-[Safa] I'm glad you liked it. -[Bliss] It was really good.
But I got to ask, why isn't Ebraheem here?
[tense music playing]
I didn't invite Ebraheem because he hasn't apologized.
And he's very rude.
Anyway, he's so busy closing deals, right?
[Fahad] Okay, Safa.
Come now. I'm proud of you.
Thank you.
We're done with the show. It was very nice.
[exhales] So now, little break.
Let's go see the doctor and just get an opinion, all right?
Are you going to try to bother me for a baby again?
-Yeah, I mean, just… First relax. Relax. -[laughs]
Are you serious?
This is the time to have a family? Is he mad?
Who does that? I've just finished. I'm at the show.
Why are you saying this? I don't understand.
[LJ] I think we have to all take a picture with Safa.
-Let's take a picture. -Let's all take a picture with Safa.
-Okay. -[laughs]
[laughter]
How was the show?
-It was nice. -Did you like it?
-I need to see you in it. -I love it.
Are you going to tell her?
Tell me what?
[Zeina] We saw that Ebraheem and LJ got really close.
We felt we should give her a heads-up.
Be careful.
It's our responsibility as your friends
to tell you
that, like a piece of advice,
don't trust him too much.
He will say a lot of things…
-What did he say? -…behind your back,
and the opposite to your face.
What happened?
He said, on your date, like, what would his mom say,
because you came with a slit all the way up to here.
And you came, uh… What kind of a girl dresses like this?
And that, "I'm not old enough for her."
That was nasty.
But you know, that's true.
He's not old enough for me. He's a child for me. I mean…
-[Zeina] So true. -He knows himself, that's a good thing.
If you want to give him a chance? It's your call--
Zeina, don't be silly.
LJ's reaction disappointed me. Like…
She was so unbothered.
I don't know. I mean, I wouldn't take it that lightly.

Obviously, styles have changed and taste changes.
So I was worried.
I'm so excited for Zeina, Safa and my bridesmaid, Louisa, to see it.

where I've come.
Or like, how far I've come.

-Yeah. -Amazing.
-Ululate. Ululate. -Hmm?
We'll teach you something we have to do at your wedding

After the fashion show, my period has still not come.
So Fahad takes me to the doctor
because he wants to check if everything is okay.
I have been late for my period. Just over two weeks late.
DR. MICHAEL FAKIH
And I've already done the test.
Okay. How late is the test?
Uh, it's just been over two weeks. Maybe--
-[Dr. Fakih] Two weeks? -Yeah. Over two weeks.
I'm not pregnant.
It was very Safa.
But I'm just a bit worried now. What's happening? Is everything okay?
And that's why I've come to see you to--
Okay? Is this unusual for you?
No, not super unusual.
Usually when I'm very stressed, sometimes it happens.
I have been very stressed
because I don't want to be pregnant right now.
He wants to have a baby now.
He's on my head… "Let's have a baby."
I think we're in a good place in life, and, uh--
You are in a good place 'cause you don't have to go through it.
[Fahad] She's being dramatic.
Because when it happens, it'll happen, and she won't have a choice in it.
She needs to calm down a bit.
If I was a high-risk, the first pregnancy,
what about the second one?
Am I going to have the same issues?
Or…
It's unusual for somebody like your shape, uh, and your age
to really have high-risk pregnancy.
It's not a big issue.
So when the doctor said that Safa is not high-risk,
the first thing I thought was,
"So now we can start focusing on having a baby."
[Dr. Fakih] So I think what we need to do now is, uh, go for the exam
to find out why you're not getting your period.
[Safa] Okay.
[whimsical music playing]
That chair is so scary, like a torture chamber.
And I'm not ready to get tortured. It looks so scary. It's like a dungeon.
Look at this skin.
[Fahad] Stop pulling, it's not gonna help--
And then you want to have another baby.
[sighs deeply]
Good, all right.
-So that black sack is your bladder. -[Safa] Mm-hmm.
[Dr. Fakih] All right.
And then, uh, you can see
the right ovary. You have beautiful eggs in it.
-There's no baby. Just before we start-- -No baby.
-[Safa] Okay. -[Fahad chuckles]
[Dr. Fakih] No. Okay, and freeze.
[sighs in relief]
-Everything looks healthy? -[Dr. Fakih] Uh-huh.
So practically, you're very healthy.
You're looking great.
There's no problems getting pregnant.
She's very healthy and there are no issues with her.
I was very happy and relieved.
So why am I not getting my period?
That cyst that I showed you?
So probably you're having a delayed ovulation this cycle.
You haven't ovulated yet.
You'll be ovulating now, and get your period in two weeks.
Oh.
Don't. We'll sleep in separate rooms today, I think.
[laughter]
I think I need another house, not another room to keep him away from me,
because he was just like… He can't be trusted.
[both chuckle]
[peppy music playing]
[woman's laughter echoing]
Zeina, LJ, Farhana, and I decided
to meet at a coffee shop, and catch up as usual.
[both laughing]
We were laughing, but I was only thinking of one thing.
I was hoping for good news.
-Lojain, anything new? -About?
Mmm… My mom.
Ah! Shall we?
What's going on, if I may ask?
[LJ] Okay, maybe you guys should know.
It happened many years ago,
when I was born and my mom and dad, they got separated and divorced.
Well, we lost contact.
[solemn music playing]
[Zeina] At what age you realized that,
"I don't have my mom around"?
At the age of seven.
[Zeina] I'm shocked.
I didn't know that someone like LJ
can keep such a big secret.
She is much stronger than I thought.
So we were talking the other day,
and, uh, Lojain kindly suggested
that she will put me, um, and my mom in touch.
-I feel, you know-- -Oh, wow. That's huge.
I sent her a message and I told her about LJ.
Did she answer?
You will know everything in the right time.
I tried to avoid the question.
I was planning to reconnect
that relationship,
but in the right time.
Your mom love you so much.
♪ I can go where I want ♪
♪ Nothing to hold me back ♪
[Farhana clicks tongue, mumbles]
[sniffling] Okay, I hate crying.
[somber music playing]
[sniffling]
I feel like something in me will find peace.
Of course.
[LJ] I want to wake up in the morning. I want her to take care of me.
She will.
I want her to make me breakfast.
[all] Aw.
It's so important to just get it out of your system, and…
[exhales] You feel like this after you talk.
All right, girls.
I have to go 'cause I have a dinner to catch on.
I always get a sense of responsibility towards anyone
who needs some kind of help.
When I find someone in need,
I try my best to help.
I am shocked about this.
And by the way, she called me everyday.
"Did my mom reply?" I say, "No, she didn't,
-but she will." -She replied?
And she replied.
[Zeina and Farhana] Oh, wow.
Yes, yes.
I told her that as a mother I can relate, and asked her for a phone number
to contact her.
Then she sent me her phone number. I would like to call her.
[Zeina] Go ahead and call her.
I don't know what could happen, and I don't want her to be disappointed.
-[breathes deeply] -[dialing]
Okay.
[Zeina] Come on.
-What you're doing is great. -I'm scared.
I don't want…
May this go well.
-[Zeina] California? -[Lojain] Hmm.
Come on.
[line ringing]
[tense music playing]
-[LJ's mom] Hello? -Hello.
From the beginning of the call,
I felt like I've known her for a long time.
LJ told me about you. I'm a mother,
and I understand.
I've been through a similar situation,
I felt sad for LJ.
You're her mother, she loves you, and she wishes you'd be here.
Especially after Walid passed away.
What she needs right now
is you to be here for her and her daughters.
I only ask you for one thing,
tell me when you can come here.
I… I cannot wait until you
[chuckling] and LJ reunite.
I'm a mother.
I can relate to both you and LJ.
That's why, uh…
[sighs]
[solemn music playing]
Just a moment.
[crying]
Something she said made me sad.
She hopes to reunite with her daughter and granddaughters before she dies.
Nothing hurts more than this.
Bye-bye.
[upbeat music playing]
♪ Whoa-oh, oh, oh, oh ♪
♪ Whoa-oh, oh, oh, oh… ♪
[Fadie] After I asked LJ,
"Do you mind if we go on a date, get to know each other?"
And she said it's be better if we go out as a group.
So I invited LJ, Hanna, and Zeina to lunch.
-[Fadie] You look very nice. -[LJ] Thank you.
-How was your day? -It was good.
-How was yours? -Very good.
I wonder where they are.
See, I think we could do a date where we don't need anyone.
I don't think so.
Why is that?
I think you're just rushing things.
[tense music playing]
And honestly, I have no feelings for you.
You can actually see from my face if I like you.
And it doesn't show.
Are you having a bad day?
No. Why would you think I'm having a bad day?
You see? Like, you're… You're attacking me right now.
No, I'm not.
You said I'm having a bad day and I'm not.
-I asked a question. -I think you're the one having a bad day.
I'm having an amazing day.
Just accept the fact that I'm not really into you.
-Hey! How are you guys? -Hi!
-What's going on? -[LJ] Where's Zeina?
[Hanna] She got stuck at work. I'm so sorry, you guys.
-Should I call her? -[LJ] Yes.
[Hanna] Hello, Zanzoun.
Let me talk to her.
LJ wants to talk to you.
Zeina?
Where are you?
Put her on speaker, let me listen.
-Speaker. -Don't give me orders.
-Whoa. [laughs] -[Hanna laughs]
-I swear she's having a bad day. -Wait.
-[Zeina over speaker] Darling. -Zeina.
Shh, I'm talking.
He keeps on interrupting me.
It's very rude.
Shameful.
-Let me talk to Zeina please -[Zeina] I was closing a deal.
-Let me talk to her. -See! We bring good luck.
-I'm talking to my friend. What's wrong? -[Zeina] It's my treat today.
[imperceptible]
-[LJ] I liked a Chanel purse. -[Fadie] Gave you her a credit card?
-[Zeina] Okay, Fadie and I will go get it. -[laughs]
-[Fadie] Zeina. -[laughs]
Zeina, LJ,
from the minute we met, she's killing me.
-[LJ] Really? -[Zeina] Really?
See you soon.
-[Hanna] What is your problem? -I don't have a problem.
He asked me to go out with him on a date alone.
-I don't think I'm interested. -Okay.
[Hanna] LJ, uh, is playing hard to get.
But if I were Fadie,
I'd say "Okay, Thank you so much."
"Bye-bye now."
I'm not playing hard to get.
I am hard to get.
Who does she think she is? It's a privilege for her. Not for me.
She's the one that has two kids.
She has baggage. There's a lot of fish in the sea.
Guys, I'm sure everyone has plans.
So nice seeing you guys.
I'm… I'm out.
He's in the group, I'll see him at the events.
But I'm definitely not going out with him on a date again.
[gripping music playing]
[engine revs]
[Zeina] It's too bad I couldn't make it to lunch
with LJ and Fadie.
I ran late at the construction site. I'm back to the office now.
I'm going to Zeina's office today.
She came to my business place.
If she wants trouble, I can give her trouble.
[indistinct chatter]
Ebraheem asked me to go with him to see Zeina.
He said, "Come as my friend and have my back."
And of course, I have Ebraheem's back.
He's like family.
-[Danya] Hi, Zeina. -[Zeina] Hi.
Hi.
Ebraheem and Danya came by.
Welcome.
Have a seat.
-No, we're not here to stay. -Okay.
[Danya] Ebraheem has a proposal for you, he wants to give it to you.
And I think it's super generous.
[Zeina] It was a very obvious move.
Just like Safa and I went to meet Ebraheem at his café,
he also has something to say.
I want you to work for me. I'm here to buy your company.
Oh. [chuckles]
It's not for sale.
After she and Safa came to me,
and did me wrong,
So I thought to myself, "If I didn't draw a line for her
not to step on,
she'll keep doing that to me
and to others."
You-- You said it's not for sale, but you're the CEO, not the owner.
Call the owner and tell him,
you have a proposal from a businessman,
that is ready to buy your company.
I am the company, darling.
You're the owner?
You cannot buy me. I am the company.
-[Ebraheem] You're the owner? Last time-- -I am the company.
[dramatically] "I am the company. I am the company."
-Check again. -You're an employee. You get a salary.
How much is your salary?
-[Danya] Okay, how much? -I am the company.
Her veins popped... Her Botox popped, everything popped.
What is this?
[Ebraheem] You think the company is worth more or less with her?
-Definitely less-- -Less, right?
She's not being classy at all.
You're defending Ebraheem now?
[Danya] Of course, I am.
-[Danya] You're super fake. -Well done.
The fakest person I know.
Zeina was so disrespectful
to Farhana, Ebraheem. Who's next?
Zeina is not a kind person. And I'll put her in her place.
You pretend to be something you're not.
-Oh. -I would love to see
if anything you say is real.
-How can you judge? -[Ebraheem] The office…
Look! The office!
-Did you see my other offices? -[Ebraheem] I'm shocked.
Anyway, why would I explain to you?
[Ebraheem] Because I'm shocked.
I thought it would be great.
She thinks she is Versace. You're far from it.
If you can't take the heat, don't walk in the kitchen.
-[Ebraheem] You're talking behind my back! -Bravo, bravo, bravo!
-Bravo. Great performance! -[man 1] Is there a problem?
-Just a blip on my radar. -[Danya] Come in.
You wanna--
It's not your office to invite people.
I invite whoever I want. I'm being polite.
-[Zeina] Do that in your office. -Sorry, the office is small.
-You guys can go. -You guys can go.
I don't have an office, I can make money without it.
Bravo, bravo, bravo. [chuckles]
Okay, are you done now?
-No, just one more thing. -Go ahead.
You said you're the CEO with billion dollar deals?
-Yes, go on. -But in your Instagram,
it doesn't seem that you're selling property,
but that you're selling yourself--
-I'm afraid of envious people. -Like who?
Envious people like you.
-What would we envy you for? -Goodbye.
I'm so happy you just developed a personality.
I'm so happy for you. Thank you for coming.
-Can we close some deals? -It's not a performance.
-What deals? -What deals?
Go close your croissant and, uh, coffee deals.
That's my croissant, while you're working on a salary.
I'm an owner.
-[Zeina] Bravo. -I never worked for anyone.
[Ebraheem] I don't take salaries, I give them.
[Zeina] I'm so proud of you.
Everything she does is fake.
I'm a gentleman and she's a bitch.
I wouldn't even consider hiring you.
-Thank you. -You're nothing.
-Thank you. -We're done here, let's go.
When we were leaving, I couldn't find a trash can.
I'm going to leave this coffee right here on the corner of her desk.
[dramatic music playing]
[men] Hey, hey, hey! hey, hey,
[Ebraheem] You bitch!
[man 2] Guys, go!
She got up her desk about to reach for the coffee
to throw it on me.
I'm not going to let her throw coffee on me.
I picked up the coffee and I threw the coffee back at her.
-[man 3] Hey! -How shameful.
[man 4] Leave.
Hey, Danya!
[Danya shrieks]
[dramatic music playing]
