IN THIS SEASON
In this circle of friends, we've been through so much together.
OF DUBAI BLING
Don't put your hand in my fucking face!
[tense note plays]
Every group of friends has problems.
-You were like my sister! -Exactly!
The louder you are, the cheaper you look.
Eat hay!
I mean, we're friends.
-Don't cry. -[sobbing]
We don't trust each other.
The words you famously used, "You're a bitch!"
-No, guys! -You are a bitch!
In every circle of friends, there's a lot of people that come.

SEASON GUEST
My life has enough drama. I'm not ready for more.
I'm telling you upfront. Don't follow their gossip.
I don't like that kind of stuff.
Building trust between two people requires many years.
Just one mistake can break it.
-[woman] Okay. -[man] Okay.
You have no character. You have no class.
Oh my God, my phone is ringing! Hello.
Got to go. Oh my God! Bye!
Trust does not need time. Trust needs actions.
You want to talk shit? I will talk in front of your face.
Today's friend, yesterday's enemy.
[man] You fucking piece of shit!
Once trust is broken, it's hard to put the pieces back together.
[Marwan] It made me wonder if this relationship
was something I wanted to keep going.
If you don't trust your partner, your marriage can fall apart.
You don't tell me this.
That's my child.
-I'll never let him be with another woman. -Okay, relax, relax, relax.
Trust is a two-way street.
I don't know how I'm gonna tell her.
I don't give a shit about what he said. You're gonna have a borderline stroke!
[haunting pop music playing]
Thank you for being here.
No matter what happens, everything will happen as it should.
♪ This will be the final time ♪
[Zeina] No matter the problems, we laugh, we get angry, and grow together.
[cheering, applause]
-Habibi, come on! [laughing] -Oh my God.
[Hanna] Whoo!
[cheering]
I think we must be the world's most dysfunctional group of friends.
♪ This will be the final time ♪
-My God! -[sobbing] No, no!
Stay away from my family.
-Just come with me. -[gasping]
To trust or not to trust, that's the question.
Money never made anyone. We're the ones who make the money.
DUBAI BLING
-[muffled dance music playing] -[cheering]
[Mona] Tonight is New Year's Eve,
and I'm hosting a party with the entire group.
You look stunning!
-Thank you. -[chuckles]
[Mona] Hassan has been ready since last year to have a baby,
but we had to change the plan,
because I actually had to have a surgery.
It did buy me six months.
[dramatic string music playing]
[Ebraheem] Last year, I reconciled with people
whom I never thought I could reconcile with.
Today, I'll think about who deserves
to stay in my life and who doesn't deserve to.
LOUJAIN ADADAH "LJ"
[Loujain] Last year, I got proposed to.
Loujain…
[pulsing music plays]
[gasps]
-Will you marry me? -[cheering]
[man] Say yes! Say yes!
Okay, yes.
[cheering]
[Loujain] At that moment, I said yes.
[cheering]
[Loujain] But for now, my personal life is very unstable.
It's very complicated.
There's no clear answer for what is going to happen next.
[dramatic string music playing]
[Zeina] This year, I opened a new company
and a new office, and nothing will stop me.
[intriguing string music plays]
[Danya] I'm on a journey to prove to myself and to everyone
that I can be a successful businesswoman…
DANYA MOHAMMED
…an amazing mother and an even better wife.
[cell phone chimes]
[Marwan] Last year, there was a lot going on between me and Danya,
and I think now is the time where we listen to each other,
'cause at the end of the day, it's our family, it's our kids,
and, you know, we have to do what's best for us and them as well.
[Fahad] Safa?
[Safa] Where's my bag?
Mom, I couldn't find the bag, sorry.
-You can't find the bag? -Yeah.
Alina, help me please find the bag.
-Safa! Baby, come on! -Just one minute.
So, last year, I welcomed my daughter Ayana.
And she means the world to me.
-Thank you. Hello! [laughs] -Hello! [laughs]
[Safa] Fahad always gets what he wants.
I never seem to get what I want.
However, this time, I did my mommy makeover.
[Farhana] Last year, I was in a matchmaking journey.
But unfortunately, Mo and I didn't work out.
This year, I'm not the Farhana that you knew two years ago.
I'm really excited to see everyone, except for Safa.
-[hip-hop music playing] -[singing in Arabic]
I am happy.
And I am so excited for this new year.
Me and Hassan have booked a villa, decked everything out,
and I'm hoping everybody is on time. [chuckles]
I sent calendar invites.
[hip-hop music continues]
I'm a newlywed this year.
And it's always great to catch up and see everyone after so long.
-Oh, there's Safa and Fahad. [shouts] -[Safa] Hi!
-[laughs] Happy New Year. -Happy New Year.
Happy New Year.
-[Mona] You look amazing. -[Zeina] My favorite invitation!
-Aww! Thank you. -[Zeina] Your Google calendar invitation.
-Does she do that to you too? -All the time.
-[Zeina] Swear? -Welcome to my world.
My whole life revolves around my calendar,
and that's how Mona operates.
Here's to a new beginning and lots of gifts for the wives.
[cheering]
-While having good intentions. -New beginnings.
I wish to start the new year with peace of mind,
so I want my year to be peaceful and healthy.
Hanna, happy New Year.
-How are you? -Thank God, I'm great.
This is all about new beginnings.
-Yeah! -[Zeina] Good intentions.
[laughing]
I am so happy to see Ebraheem and Zeina getting along.
I've been waiting for this moment, because now that we're all getting along,
I'm hoping we can all have a lot of fun together.
-Thank God. -How's your wife doing?
Pretty good. She doesn't like to mingle.
-With us? Or in general? -In general. In general.
She's very typical Emirati culture. Women with women, men with men.
I met Ebraheem's wife.
She does exist.
I touched her. She exists, and she's a very nice person.
[engine revs]
-Whoo! Yeah! -[laughing]
-[Fahad] DJ Bliss. -Hey, hello! Welcome! Hi, guys!
-Happy New Year. -All right. [kisses]
SALEM KHAMMAS
-[Salem] Happy New Year. Peace upon you. -[Fahad] Big boss.
-Happy to see you. -Hi!
[Loujain] They are back. I feel like there's a lot of new news.
I love to listen to gossip. [laughs]
-Hi! How are you honey? -[Loujain] Hi.
Welcome.
-You look amazing. Gorgeous. -Thank you. You too.
-I love this color. -Thank you.
-[Mona] Happy New Year, honey. -Hi.
[Zeina] Lately, I'm not close with LJ.
I'm not up to date with her life and her relation with Hasnain.
I saw them send each other hearts in comments on Instagram.
She replied.
But there's no pictures of him on her profile.
I don't know.
Where's Farhana?
-I don't know. -I don't know. She's running late.
She's never late.
[intriguing string music playing]
Is that her?
I'm coming. Ready to put someone in their place.
So, Safa Siddiqui, get ready for me.
-Hi, everyone. -[Mona] Hi!
-Happy New Year! Welcome, darling. -Happy New Year, Mona. Oh!
-Sorry. How are you? -[Farhana] Hi! How are you?
It's good to see you.
-[Danya] Good to see you. -[Farhana] Hi! How are you?
[Danya] You look nice.
-Thank you. How are you? -I love your vibe.
Hi, Zeina. Hi, Hanna. Hi, Fahad. Hi, everyone.
I didn't say hi to Safa. Specifically.
Because she was just making lies up about me,
about my Birkin being borrowed.
Because I was carrying it in a dust bag.
Did you see Farhana?
You didn't see her Birkin?
-No. -It's obviously borrowed.
How dare she make up all these lies!
Safa is here. Did you see Safa?
[Safa] Honestly, I don't know what Farhana is thinking.
The last time we spoke, we were fine.
I have heard that she's been going around,
telling everybody that she's going to come for me.
So I just thought, "Okay, is she really gonna come for me?" Let's see.
Why did you come in, say hi to everyone, except one person?
Because she's someone I don't want to say hi to.
-Farhana, it's a new year. Ease up. -No, no.
It's about time someone puts her in her place.
I thought she was my friend.
And she turned out to be the biggest snake.
She's the real poison.
Farhana.
Come. Let us talk to you a bit.
I do not understand what's happening right now.
[Zeina] I called Farhana out.
I wanted to see what's going on.
Do you know Safa?
-Very well. -[Zeina] You know Safa?
-I know her very well. -So you deliberately didn't…
-[Farhana] I don't want to say hi to her. -Okay.
Because it's unacceptable what she's been doing.
-I'm not-- -Why not talk to me in my face?
Who do you think you are
to go around talking shit about my Birkins being borrowed?
I'm sorry. You know who I am.
I'm a hardworking mother who supports her child.
-[laughs] -[Farhana] Don't come at me.
Why did you open this conversation now?
Whatever it is, I spoke to you to check on your feelings.
The fact that you wanna make this whole thing…
I've not rejected your call ever.
How dare you talk about me like this!
-Who are you to talk like this? -[Safa] I spoke to you.
I said if your feelings are hurt, I'm sorry.
It's stressful.
-It's time someone puts you in your place. -You think you're gonna do it?
Who do you think you are, Safa?
I'm a lioness.
And a lion in my jungle eats the cobra.
So you watch who I am.
So why are you making this now?
Do you want attention?
Do you need attention?
I don't need attention from you. Who are you?
[Safa] Why'd you justify for nobody?
[Farhana] Why are you off topic?
Why are you going on talking shit about me borrowing stuff?
I already called you, and I said you were not my friend.
Oh, really? Conveniently, now I'm not your friend.
Then you were not my friend.
Listen, Safa, you and I, we're not from the same world.
This is my work, my life.
I don't mind your work.
I respect your work.
-That's what I told you. -You will never be able to relate.
When I see what you did in LA, I respected you for your hard work.
She's not a friend. She will never be a friend.
And I'm so disappointed that I actually let her in my space.
I let her into my life.
I took her with me to LA during the summer holidays.
I introduced her to my people, to my industry, to my friends.
And all this time, she was just using me
to social climb, to use my connections,
because she wants to be me.
She literally wants my life.
Instead of working on your mommy makeover,
work on your character, because it's so bad.
-Honey, I can do surgery to fix me. -You need to!
-You can't do surgery to fix your brain. -I'm so beautiful. I don't need to.
[Safa] You need more than surgery to fix what's up there.
Oh boy! Here we go.
Here we go.
Nice and early.
[Farhana] You need to fix up there.
-You have no character. You have no class. -[Safa] Okay. You're so classy.
Look at you coming in in front of everybody.
-[Farhana] You have no class! -Oh, you have no class.
Oh my God, my phone is ringing! Hello. Got to go.
-Oh my God! Bye! -[Farhana] Such a loser! Such a loser!
What a loser!
I would've happily had this conversation with Farhana on the side.
And I would've maybe reassured her,
as I have done several times on the phone.
Well, she was dressed like the entertainment.
Maybe she wanted to provide entertainment. I don't know.
Can't listen to this. I can't listen to this.
-That's not nice. -No, I don't give a shit.
-How dare she talk about me. -She was sitting on that?
[Mona] I get where Farhana is coming from, but I don't agree with her approach.
And I think they need to resolve things,
because this is not going to help anything.
Why did she want to create a scene?
You apologized to her?
-One hundred times! -Then she should just let it go.
Do you have jealousy pills? Maybe we need to medicate her.
She can't handle anyone else having nicer things than her.
-She can't handle. She's jealous. -Who said you have nicer things than her?
-Don't take it to another level, Farhana. -I don't care. I don't care.
Never. I did not have any clue
that Farhana would explode the way she did.
-[Marwan] Let's go. -[Mona] Let's all sit down for dinner.
This has been fun, but let's have more fun. [laughs]
-[Danya] We're hangry. -[Mona] We're hangry.
-[Danya] Let's eat. -[Mona] Exactly!
I really want this arguing to stop.
And I just want to have a nice New Year's dinner.
I've put a lot of effort into this party, and… [sighs]
…I'm really not happy with the way things are going right now.
-[dance music playing] -[vocalizing]
[chattering]
-I'm just here? -You're not the husband.
[chuckles] I wouldn't wanna be the husband.
-Trust me. -[laughing]
[dramatic sting]
[Zeina] I wouldn't take you as a wife either.
[Hanna] What kind of stupid comment is that?
Stupid?
[Hanna] You insulted my wife. Don't talk to me.
There goes another fight that looks really bad.
There was just no need.
[Hanna] LJ has history with Zeina recently.
And now, she wants to insult Zeina and in front of me.
I had to make it clear.
I wouldn't wanna be a husband because I'm a female. Chill.
He has no manners.
Wearing a jacket doesn't mean you're a gentleman.
[Zeina] Hanna won't let anybody disrespect me,
and already LJ has a history.
She fought with me and Safa.
She went on social media for absolutely no reason
to start a war with me.
She said, "Hush-hush." I asked what she meant.
She put a giraffe emoji.
What's with the giraffe?
Giraffes are cute and tall. Most animals fear giraffes.
[Hanna] You insult some lady, and you expect somebody--
I wouldn't want to be her husband. Period!
Two hundred percent, LJ meant
that no one would want to be Zeina's husband.
She can't change that.
That was serious.
You're the one who initiated it.
[Salem] This year will not end well.
-Watch your tongue. -I said stop talking to me.
-Watch your tongue! -[Hanna] Lady!
Watch your tongue!
-Leave her. -I'm talking to a child. Okay.
-A child? I'm talking to a kid. -I'll sit like this.
[Zeina] Enough.
[indistinct chatter]
[Danya] Do you wanna switch?
Who is Hanna?
He's really irrelevant to me and my life, in any way.
We're supposed to be having peace and love and celebrating this new year.
And everybody's gone crazy.
All right, guys. How about we all just relax for a minute?
Take some deep breaths.
It's New Year's.
We're here to celebrate a new chapter. [laughs]
[Hassan] All right.
So did you guys see Kris had his baby?
Yeah. DJ Bliss saw it.
-[laughing] -Ebraheem.
Stop it. For real.
[tense music playing]
[sighs]
You don't watch out, you start poking bears.
Someone's gonna start coming after you.
You want to come after me?
Kris and Bliss don't like each other.
So when I tell the story in a funny way,
it's because I want them to know that everything is all right.
I'm trying to break the ice between them.
Fahad and I are going to see the baby.
-[Mona] When? -This week. We're going to see the baby.
I'm so happy for Kris and Brianna,
for their new baby Kruz.
I can't wait to finally meet him.
[mellow funk music playing]
Well, bon appétit, everyone. I hope you enjoy.
-You missed a few events, Danya. -[Danya] What?
You missed the launching of, um,
Zeina's, uh, I'm The Company.
I swear, I messaged Zeina, and I was late to her event.
I really wanted to be there. Ebraheem was there.
Honestly, he was amazing on the launch day.
[pleasant music playing]
A while back, I hosted the launch of the new set of I'm The Company
and invited everybody.
Ebraheem was there and stayed until the end.
And I felt for the first time, he's sincere,
and he's supporting.
Who is the company, Ebraheem?
-You're the company. -[laughs]
-Until further notice. [laughs] -[kisses]
He wore the T-shirt. He turned around. He modeled.
He was a good sport. We appreciate it, Ebraheem.
I went to her event to support her.
After all, she is a…
[ominous music playing]
…a result of something that I made.
I created Zeina.
[dramatic sting]
And I didn't, like, formally congratulate you on your office also.
I started my new real estate company,
and it's only going to expand from here.
Hopefully, inshallah, I'll send you a gift.
-With your presence? -My presence. Having my presence.
[laughing]
Zeina does not know what's waiting for her.
-["Fear Don't Know My Name" playing] -[vocalizing]
[indistinct conversation and laughter]
I have a very special surprise guest,
and I'm hoping she shows up.
She's very special.

[woman] Oh my God!
-Happy New Year! -[woman] Oh my God!
[Jwana] Yay!
[upbeat music plays]
Jwana is my gorgeous friend.
Everybody knows who Jwana Karim is.
JWANA KARIM
-Hi, guys. Hi, hi, hi, hi. -[Danya] Jwana.
-[Jwana] How are you? -[Salem] Hi.
[Mona] I've met Jwana socially through events.
She's originally Iraqi as well. And she's really well-known.
When she enters the room, she's a rocket. A real rocket.
How are you? Thank you for inviting me.
-Hello, beauty. -Hi, my Iraqi mouse.
[Jwana] It's been a long time since I've been around this group.
Today, I love that Mona invited me to the New Year's party.
I'm excited to see them and have a good time with them.
-[Ebraheem] Okay, I think this was very… -How are you?
[Jwana] Beautiful or not?
-[Zeina] I'm so glad to see you. -[Jwana] Hi. How are you?
-[Zeina] Come sit. -[Jwana sighs]
I didn't kiss everyone. I have allergies.
Now we have the queen of Birkin here. [laughing]
How long have you known Farhana?
Oh!
She's my ride and die, baby. [chuckles]
[Safa] Of course, Farhana is Jwana's friend.
In Iraq, we have a saying,
the bald one shows off her sister's hair.
Farhana is friends with so many people,
they're able to give her something back.
-[Ebraheem] LJ. You know LJ from before? -Uh, yeah, a bit.
[dramatic music plays]
LJ and Jwana, they were close friends.
Suddenly, we stopped seeing them together.
I don't know the details, but I'd like to know.
I only know Jwana Karim socially. That's it.
[clock ticking]
[cheering]
[Mona] After dinner and all the drama,
it's finally time for countdown.
We're all going outside.
We're going to bring out the dancers
and put some good energy into this new year.
[all] Eight, seven…
[Marwan] This year is going to be all about realness.
Let's see what it's going to be like.
-[all] …one! Happy New Year! -[cheering]
-[upbeat dance music playing] -[fireworks popping]
[Ebraheem] I went to New Year's all over the world.
But New Year's in Dubai, nothing compares to it.
Happy New Year!
[cheering]
[Safa] With this friendship group, I have no idea what to expect.
As long as I have my tribe, I'm fine.
[music continues]
[Marwan] Dubai is known to have the most beautiful fireworks.
And it's a magical moment because everything is just perfect.
[music continues]
[woman] Whoo!
[Mona] I feel like the end of the night kind of redeemed the party.
I'm hoping that this means
we're starting off the new year on a good foot,
with lots of love and peace.
God willing. [chuckles]
[hip-hop music playing]
[Zeina] Today, I go to work as usual.
After more than 19 years of experience in real estate in UAE,
I decided to become my own boss.
The incident that happened with, uh, Ebraheem
pushed me indirectly to finally make this decision.
Now is the right time.
[Safa] What on earth
happened at New Year's?
[Zeina] Today, Safa is visiting me.
She and Fahad own a portfolio of, uh, properties.
So she wants to explore how she can come back into real estate
and be part of my new venture.
What happened to this delulu?
Delulu. Definition, noun, Farhana Bodi.
It means absolutely delusional.
Babe, honestly,
I really don't know what has gotten into this girl.
Like, Farhana, your biggest objective in life is to marry a rich man.
She wants to find someone.
And you literally judge people on the cars they drive.
Do you know, when I met Fahad, he wasn't driving a fancy car.
Imagine! She needs to really understand she does not know me.
I was something before I got married.
I was a real estate director at 22 years old.
And I bought my first apartment, full cash. No mortgage.
Like, she thinks this is when you've made it?
When you have handbags? I feel really sad for her, honestly.
You never want to be financially fully dependent on a man.
The minute you do that, you lose your freedom.
Once you have yourself set in life, then enjoy luxury.
And that's what I did.
She invited me to an event.
For sure, you didn't get invited.
-Did you get invited? -No. [chuckles]
She doesn't want me there. She doesn't want me to outshine her. Clearly.
What do I do?
-Do I go? -Of course. Why not?
You'll probably see LJ in the event. You saw the tension between her and Jwana.
[amusing music playing]
[laughs]
Didn't kiss her hello. I don't know what's going on between them two.
I don't know if there is a man related.
What?
I don't know. But I want to hear about it from Jwana.
I must know what's going on between LJ and Jwana.
-So? -Business?
Business!
-I miss real estate and working together. -[Zeina] Hmm.
I'll be able to be, like, you know, managing my portfolio properties.
We can work together, and it'll be fun.
Come. Let's see. Let's go see your office.
[pleasant string music playing]
-Okay, so… -Why not…
-We've emptied this space here for you. -Sorry.
-Next to Tamara, Yulio and Nicola. -Babe, I cannot…
I cannot sit here.
Why?
I… sit here?
There's no place for my feathers!
No.
I can't.
-What about the meeting room? -I can't sit here. Never.
Oh my God.
That's a good place. Look! I'll put my stuff here.
[Zeina] Here at the reception?
Okay!
Fine. I found my space.
It just needs a few fixing, but I think we can manage.
Simple glass. Very simple.
Sliding door here and a chair here.
God help us.
If you last two months, I won't just install glass.
I'll close off this area and move the reception here.
Two months.
[upbeat music playing]
-Deal? -Okay.
I sorted out Safa. Time to make some money.
[intriguing music plays]
[bird squawks]
Last year, me and Danya worked on the Besties Café.
And thankfully, in front of our eyes, it came to life.
THE BESTIES CAFÉ
[whirring]
Today, I'm going to meet up with Danya,
in order to talk about some business matters
and some things that happened on New Year's Eve.
[music ends]
How was yesterday?
It was very good.
-Sold out? -Thank God.
[Ebraheem] We opened the Besties Café a while back, and we were shocked.
I was wishing for the best, but we got better than the best.
[hums]
Danya is always late. But sadly, she does not take it seriously.
Hello!
-Hi, bestie! -Well, hello, Miss Late, as usual.
How are you?
I'm waiting for one day that you're on time and surprise me.
Ebraheem just likes to talk about me being late all the time
and all this in front of the employees.
Chill, bestie. Chill.
I need you here more.
I'm here every day. You know that.
Sa'eed, so how many days Danya comes per week?
Once or twice, sir.
[tense music playing]
We're partners. I don't report to you, sir.
It's inappropriate to talk like this in front of the employees.
-Fine. Let's go. -Let's get out and talk.
-It's not appropriate to do so at all. -I swear!
-It's the truth. -No, it isn't.
Of course I'd be upset if he speaks to me like that in front of the employees.
In the end, I'm their boss.
That's very unprofessional.
It's not appropriate to talk like that in front of the employees.
Actually, I did it for you,
because I want you to take this and to learn from it
and to elevate and to go higher and higher.
I want to show every single person who once said that we cannot do this.
So you want to spite them?
Spite them, annoy them. Piss them off, upset them all.
-Except for one. -Who?
-Marwan. -No, Marwan is so happy for us.
Sometimes, those who envy us are the closest to us.
We prove to them that we can make it, and we did make it.
Nowadays, I feel that Marwan is distant from me.
Like, I don't know if he's upset or having problems,
but I-- I feel hurt because I cherish him.
He's like a brother.
He loves you so much, Ebraheem. I swear.
I don't know if DJ Bliss is jealous of me personally or of my project,
but if there is something in his heart that he wants to tell me,
I wish he'd say it.
I swear he matters to me. I love him. He's my brother.
Let's talk about the styles we saw on New Year's.
The one that shocked me the most was Jwana's.
Like she just woke up from afternoon nap.
-[laughs] -Jwana!
No, but Jwana, she made an entrance.
Honestly, I felt like everything was fine until we started talking about LJ.
I asked her if she knows LJ. She said, "Yes, I do."
-By the way, she didn't greet her. -Did you feel it? Wasn't it strange?
Yes, something is wrong.
I don't know what's going on in that department,
but seems like there's a little bit of drama.
I feel like you know something.
Danya, sweetheart, my love, my bestie.
Is it possible that there is a drama in Dubai
between two people, and Ebraheem doesn't know?
But I like to be discreet about others to get the same grace.
You know. Please tell me. Give me a hint.
I wanna-- I really wanna know.
-Please, Ebraheem. -No.
-Please! -No.
These women drama things, I feel this should be kept between them.
Who told you anyway?
Who else but Farhana?
[laughing]
So we have a new person in the office.
Safa Siddiqui has taken over the reception area of Zed Capital.
Now she'll take hold of every client coming in and out.
If she needs anything, help her with the rules and regulations.
-What is this? -[woman] Package for you, Zeina.
A package for me?
What?
[tense music plays]
"You are not the company"?
I… didn't understand what happened.
Is this a joke?
What is this joke?
Babe, I just got this.
-Was that the delivery that just came in? -Yes.
I have no idea who sent this package. What are they trying to say?
What message are they trying to put across?
Someone was triggered by you.
-Who could it be? -Who's so childish to do this anyway?
Not childish.
They are, uh, cowards.
They cannot say it to my face.
Because at New Year's, everybody showed love.
-Right? -Mm-hmm.
The package and the message and what it represents
is something extremely mean.
Who could it possibly be?
Danya? Ebraheem?
Would Ebraheem show all that support, then do something like this?
No, no, I don't think so. Okay, so it's not Ebraheem.
Farhana, she just recently developed a personality.
Is it LJ?
I don't know.
I'm not sure if it's LJ, but she's on the list of suspects.
I'd like to know who dared to do this.
If they don't have the courage to come say it to me in my face,
they're not worthy of us discussing this.
The message has been received.
Thank you for the further motivation.
Let's see if they will have the courage
to say who sent the package.
And next.
-[pop music playing] -[singing in Arabic]
Today, I'm seeing Zeina for breakfast.
And I'm super excited to introduce her to my dear friend,
Mahira Abdel Aziz.
Mahira is actually looking for a new home,
so I feel Zeina will be the perfect person to help her find the right place.
[music continues]
How are you doing?
-Uh, I'm good. It's very busy. -How's the new office going?
-You look amazing. -Thank you, my love.
You're such a strong, amazing, go-getter woman.
[in Arabic] Darling.
[in English] And you're so like, you're just, you get things done.
[Zeina] I trust Mona.
Whenever I needed her help, she was always there for me.
It felt like the right time to mention the package.
So, I'm sitting in the office,
and a package arrived.
Okay.
One of the I Am The Company hoodies.
They scratched "I Am,"
and they put in red, "You're Not The Company." [chuckles]
So I started thinking, like, who wants to pick a fight with me?
Maybe LJ? But why would she do that? Oh my God!
You guys are cool or…
No, I'm distant. I don't have the energy to go into…
Hmm.
…drama with her.
-So it could be LJ? -So…
The truth is gonna present itself.
Truth will prevail. I'll know who at the end.
So, as you know, I wanted to introduce you to Mahira Abdel Aziz.
She's someone I've gotten to know over the years.
Like, she's such a strong, amazing woman.
She's also looking for a new house.
-I feel like… -Oh, nice. Okay.
You could probably help her find a new place.
I don't know where she is.

What else have you been up to besides work and everything?

I needed some alone time.
Why? What's been going on?
Hmm. I'm just going through some-- some personal things.
-Hmm. It was hard. -Everything okay?
Yeah.
-I don't wanna address the situation. -But addressing is important.
I got married 11 years ago, and I have a daughter named Yasma.
She's eight years old. There are problems between my husband and me.
After 11 years of marriage,
I started the divorce procedures, but no one knows.
I'm still not ready to share this with anyone in my life.
Relationships aren't easy, and men are even more difficult.
Now I understand why you are looking for a new house.
Indeed, when I first thought about divorce more than a year ago,
what stopped me was I was afraid I'd lose my daughter.
But over the years,
I discovered that if I don't get a divorce,
I'm going to lose my daughter's respect for me.
It changed everything.
You know, they say, once you change where you live,
your luck also changes.
I mean, for some reason, when I moved to that house,
things turned bad for me.
We're ready.
[laughs]
I'm a big believer in creating the right space to create a mood.
Although I don't think it can save a marriage
or a relationship if it's the wrong person.
-I'm excited for Farhana's event. -Yeah.
-I'm happy for her. -I'm happy for her too.
[Mahira] I like that she branched out.
She's not just investing in fashion, beauty, which is…
Right. Exactly. Yeah.
I'm excited to attend Farhana's event.
I have known her ever since back when we were both pregnant
almost at the same time.
-[all] Cheers! -[laughing]
-[pop music playing] -[vocalizing]
Today, Fahad and I are on our way
to go see Kris and Brianna and their new baby Kruz.
Thanks for coming over, guys.
How are you feeling?
-I feel, uh, honored, really. -[laughing]
-You look amazing! Oh my God! -Thank you.
I'm still trying to lose the baby weight, but yeah.
You got the push present?
-[Kris] Did I get-- Look at… -Fahad, wait!
[Fahad] I'm asking straight up.
You haven't seen the baby, nothing. You went straight to it.
Fahad is definitely traumatized about push presents.
Cut us some slack!
-How was the New Year's party? -Why didn't you guys come?
[Kris] We were busy. We had the baby.
Brianna and I haven't seen everyone for a while,
and you know, just now, since baby Kruz was born,
we just want to spend more time with family.
How is the baby?
You know, the baby is doing good. He came three and a half weeks early.
It was like an emergency, and, you know, Brianna was in shock.
And then until we heard his little cry,
and then I kind of just like broke down, and everything was just like… [sighs]
…a relief. So, yeah.
[Kris] Oh my God! Hi!
[Brianna] When I first saw him, tear, like on my cheek.
Oh my God!
It was just, like, the best moment of my life.
So, for your third kid, inshallah, a boy.
Because I know you want a boy.
Will you go natural or C-section?
I've just had my mommy makeover.
-I was going to give you the method on… -How to have a boy?
-[Brianna] Yeah. -Okay, no, thank you.
-What it means is you can do it again. -[laughing]
I'm done.
Am I a machine?
You just want to keep popping out kids? What about your health?
You know, we went to a kid's theme park thing, right?
Fahad gets on a ride with Alina. He comes off, and he's feeling dizzy.
He's getting, like, this blood thing because of the way he eats.
He doesn't exercise. So he's actually not feeling that well.
[sighs]
-It's not about him physically. -Few years ago I did a test.
The cholesterol was a bit high. And, obviously, I have put on a bit more.
[Safa] Fahad struggles with weight and eating well.
So we saw a doctor, and the doctor said, "Fahad, you need to control your weight."
And the next day, he's ordering pizza.
He's just continuing whatever he was doing.
It's not about the way he looks,
as if I need more girls to DM him and throw themselves at him.
We need to look after his health, honestly.
It's not an easy process to lose weight.
It comes with lifestyle. I'm trying to make those changes.
Am I there yet? Not 100%.
I'm trying my hardest.
-Should I bring the baby? -[Safa] Yeah.
-Aww! -Here he is. He's sleeping.
-[Safa] Yes! -[Kris] Little boy.
-We waited so long for him. -[Safa] Mashallah!
Baby Kruz is so cute.
I'm so happy for them.
-Hi! Say, "Hi, Auntie Safa!" -[kisses]
Kruz, don't go too close to Auntie Safa.
There could be some drama coming, Kruzie. Stay away.
[laughing]
[Safa] I enjoyed seeing Kris and Brianna.
I was happy to see baby Kruz. They look happy.

I'm Jwana Karim. Originally from Iraq. I'm a businesswoman.
I was married, but got divorced.
I was born in Iraq, but then traveled to Sweden
and lived there for nearly ten years.
This was my first experience of the world.
I started working at 16 years old.
I worked in a pizza place.
Now I own five companies.
I travel so much that I almost live on the plane.
[laughs]
I once had breakfast in Madrid,
lunch in Geneva and dinner in Zurich.
-[laughs] -I'm glad you're here.
Me too.
My relationship with Farhana is special. I love her and hate her.
We fight and then we make up.
So, about the New Year's Eve party.
I really wanted to put Safa in her place because,
you know what I was telling you like what she was doing to me?
Everyone is telling me she's talking about your Birkins being borrowed.
I was like, who is she to talk about my…
-[Jwana] Again? -Babe, she's crazy.
She thinks she can, you know, overpower.
Act like, oh, I'm-- I'm some boss bitch. She's not. She's not.
She's nobody who wants to be a somebody.
I'll show her who is a somebody. [laughs]
Safa should support Farhana. Farhana is a hard worker.
She works more than most people to support her child.
What did you think of the rest of the crew?
Everyone was, like, very happy I was there.
-You didn't feel it? -[Farhana] Of course.
But it would've been nice if, obviously, you and LJ could have spoken.
'Cause you know I love you both.
LJ and Jwana, they were so close,
and there's something that happened many years ago.
They don't want to talk about it.
And I don't like to see friends drift apart.
I want us to be together.
And if I can try, I will keep trying.
It's not my problem.
So stop trying and trying all the time with me.
Because I don't want that.
I miss those days. I want those days back.
Loujain was an old friend of mine.
Our friendship lasted almost three years.
She betrayed my trust.
Of course, I do have my own reasons why I don't want
to have any relationship with her ever.
I can't forgive her, to be honest. I can't.
I really genuinely want them to fix things.
Because I want us to be back in a group together.
Like how we used to be once.
Anyway now, let's forget about Loujain, and let's talk about something else.
Tell me. What's new?
Lately, I have just been a little emotional
because, you know, my ex, he has someone else, right?
The one who he left me for.
In my marriage, there was a lot of betrayal.
He was with someone else.
I wouldn't accept the woman that he's with in Aydin's life.
I wonder if my ex introduced Aydin to the woman, right?
Oh my God!
I had a picture of them. I said let me just ask Aydin.
Because, you know, he has a good memory.
-Don't tell me he saw her. -Yeah, I showed him a picture.
I said, "Aydin, do you know who she is?" He said her name, and he said, "Mommy."
[both gasp]
I almost died.
[gasps] I was like, that means he's exposing her to Aydin.
I'm his mom.
I can't imagine my son calling another woman his mom.
You know how I feel about Aydin. He's my life.
-Yeah, of course. We have kids. Yeah. -He's my everything.
-[sniffles] -You don't need to cry.
And you know that I'm doing everything for him, Jwana.
[sobbing] And…
Betrayal is hard.
In my case, it was actually the main reason why I got a divorce.
You know that I had a difficult life when I got married.
The idea of divorce seemed impossible to me,
and I endured for many years.
I kept hoping things would get better with time,
but things only kept getting much, much worse.
I was taken to the hospital. This really brought me down.
Then afterwards, I was like, "What more can I do?"
I got to a point where I had to choose either life or death.
My God, I can't.
You know, sometimes, God has different plans for you.
-To come out stronger. -Yeah.
-And we have to follow that plan. -Yeah. Yeah.
So anyways, you remember I was telling you
about the GoldPesa event that I'm working on.
So I'm calling it the GoldPesa Digger Party.
It's called Gold Digger!
[laughs]
Apart from being a successful influencer,
I also have different businesses that I am associated with.
I have become an investor, and I'm on the advisory board of GoldPesa,
in the company that my ex and I are working on together.
Then what I've decided is that I want to invite everyone from the group,
except for one person.
Safa.
-Only her? Or… -Yeah, everyone else is invited.
-All? -Yeah.
[pants, barks]
-[hip-hop music playing] -[rapping in Arabic]
[Farhana] Today is the GoldPesa event, which I'm hosting.
And I'm super excited
because I've been planning this event for such a long time now.
So GoldPesa is a digital currency
which is backed by gold.
And we just launched a game, and I'm gonna throw a success party.
Beautiful!
This was something that my ex and I decided to work on
before even, uh, we had the divorce.
So obviously, this is one of the incomes.
So where are you?
[Loujain] No, I was gonna call.
I really wanted you to come.
LJ was on her way to my event, and her daughter called her.
She was not feeling well, and she had to rush back.
I was like, of course, you know, family comes first.
[hip-hop music continues]
Tonight, I'm going to Farhana's event. I'm very proud of her, honestly.
-How are you? -How are you?
You look so amazing, but what is this with white gold?
I said gold.
Farhana is doing great. It's great to see a woman like her working hard.
-[laughs] -[Farhana] The gold mine is here.
[chattering]
-You guys look amazing. -She looks gorgeous.
-How are you? -Hi, darling.
I still don't know who sent the hoodie.
There's more than one suspect. The truth will come out.
[Mahira] Today, Farhana invited me to the GoldPesa event.
I'm happy because it's the first time I'll see this group together.
-Oh! -[laughing]
-[Mahira] How are you? -Miss you!
How are you doing? Good?
Mahira is a TV personality in Dubai.
We connect a lot. Most of the events, we're together.
Our kids are friends too,
so we, obviously, have a friendship together.
-I like your hair. -Thank you so much.
-[man] Hey! -[woman] Hi.
Where is LJ?
You know what? She messaged me that her daughter is not feeling well.
So I called her. So she went back to see her daughter.
Not because of Jwana?
-Of course not! Why? No. -No?
What's up, Jwana?
-Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! -You come in, we lose a few people.
-Why? No! -[Zeina] Why?
-We should talk one-on-one. -No, no, no.
No! What do you mean we lose a few people?
I don't know why Zeina wants to always gossip about LJ.
Why is she so insecure about LJ? I don't know.
Basically, it's not a loss.
[laughing]
A toast to Farhana for this beautiful event.
And we're so happy for you.
-Congratulations. Congratulations. -Thank you, guys.
Farhana is a hustler. She works hard. She does a lot of work.
I wanted to talk to you because I see now you've been doing a lot of acting.
-Yes. -And stuff like that.
So you know, like, I've been getting so many movie offers,
especially from India.
-I mean-- -Have you tried anything?
No, but all my friends are saying, "Maybe you should try it."
-Okay. -I thought, "I don't know."
I've never done acting before.
It's something very new for me.
So I thought, "Why not ask Mahira about it?"
I encourage you to do it.
Honestly, you should do an acting coach, even for just therapy.
Done.
I'd like to do one class with her.
I would love to get the experience and see how it works.
Guys, everyone. Come.
[laughs]
I'm Heroies. I'm Farhana Bodi's ex-husband.
GoldPesa is my company,
and me and Farhana, we don't communicate because we've both blocked each other.
Hopefully, today, I can find some time with her.
To say, "Just listen, Farhana. Let's have a chat."
I saw my ex Heroies walking straight up to me.
I was like, "I hope he doesn't bring drama to the party."
Farhana don't say hi to him.
Just ignore him. No, no!
So, Farhana, let me speak to you for one second quickly now.
-Hi, guys. -Hi!
[Heroies] Thank you for coming to the event.
-I told her not to say hi to him. -It's strange that she greets him.
-It's so awkward, this… -Why?
Work is work.
I wasn't going to miss my event for anyone, right?
[Farhana] I knew he was going to come,
but I didn't know he was going to come and talk to me.
I didn't really expect that from him.
-We do need to talk about something. -What do you want to talk about?
-We're going to talk about Aydin. -Oh my God!
You know the rules. You know what I'm talking about again.
I just want to be able to
get Aydin to spend time with whoever I am with.
Ah, mm-mm. It's not going to happen.
I can't spend time with Aydin and my other half. That's her rule.
What about you? What about all the people you introduce Aydin to?
-I can't understand. Just relax. -I told you.
Don't say anything.
I told you that, no matter what happens in life,
I will never accept.
Never be able to get him with anyone?
[Farhana] He wants Aydin to spend time with him and his girlfriend.
Maybe he already did introduce Aydin to this woman.
Let's not talk about it because it's not happening.
-It's not going to happen. -You can't make decisions like that.
Don't get in my way. I'm here for my child.
-I'll never give up. Nothing to win. -You will never win with me.
When it comes to my child, I'm ready to fight the world.
That's my child.
-I'll never let him be with another woman. -Okay, okay. Relax, relax, relax.
It's not going to happen. Over my dead body.
