-[rock music playing] -♪ Oh, yeah! ♪
♪ Hey! ♪
Another day, busy office, deals to close, money to make.
But my kids don't care about the nannies. They want me.
So, I have my babies, Alina and Ayana.
-And of course their toys. -Peek-a-boo! Peek-a-boo!
So they can be distracted while Mommy gets to work.
This is Mommy's office. This is where she works.
-Whew! [sighs] -[Alina] Here Mommy working!
[Safa] When I wanted to work with Zeina,
I really thought I'd be able to juggle them both,
being a mother and working.
Honestly, it's a lot harder than it looks.
Okay, I am so done with this!
-[Alina shouts] -Oh, my goodness. Shh!
Hi, babies!
Oh, my God! Like, seriously!
What do I do with her?
-Safa, what is this? -Babe, I'm sorry, but my kids need me.
We have nannies. They don't want them. They want me. What can I do?
I have to. I can't decide between them both.
And you told me I have to be in today for some meeting.
Well, you're not ready to work and be serious.
Look how professional she is.
She came in a suit.
What's the problem?
Shit. They're having fun. This is what they wanted.
You're kidding me.
First time and last time.
I was happy to see the girls.
I haven't seen them in a while, but Safa's logic…
I think she does this just to get on my nerves.

I'm going to meet Heroies. He wants to spend some family time.
What's up, Aydin?
[Farhana] And speak about things.
-[woman] Hi, Heroies. -What's up, Bebo?
-[woman] What's up? -What's up, Farhana? What's happening?
And since my sister and him are very close, and they're good friends,
I thought I'd take her.
♪ Freak out, don't think about it… ♪
[Heroies] Daddy's here, okay? Go jump. It's okay. Daddy's here.
It's better you're away when Daddy talks to Mommy.
What's up, Farhana? Hmm?
You wanted to spend time with Aydin, which is nice.
[Heroies] What do you mean? I always do.
I know, but I'm saying, like, as a family, which is amazing.
It's highly important for my son
to have good quality time with his father and me
because I don't want to deprive him of having family time together.
Please. Now I don't want to fight.
I know that there's so much headache we've been through.
I don't want to put another barrier.
I just came here to ask you nicely about Aydin.
Again, you're bringing the topic up. Oh my God.
So, what do you think this meeting is for? [laughs]
It's to bring this topic up.
I'm tired of repeating myself.
I made up my mind, and he keeps bringing up the same topic
over and over and over.
Heroies, please understand.
Aydin is not allowed to meet your girlfriend!
-I want to spend time with Aydin. -You can on your own!
-You can't tell me what to do. -You can.
Why does she need to be involved in Aydin's life?
-What? It has nothing to do with her. -So then, why?
It's up to me.
If he's with me for one week, let him do whatever he wants, with me.
Just think about Aydin. All I want is my son. Nothing else.
You know, no matter what, nobody's gonna influence my decision.
-You think there's a choice in the matter. -I have a choice. I'm his mother.
I'm not denying that you're his mother, and you're not going to be replaced.
I'm not taking him away. Do what's fair.
I am his mother, and I have every right to Aydin.
He left, so he lost that right, because he left for her.
But you know what happened. There is a whole history behind this.
-[Heroies] There is no history. -There's a lot. Why keep denying it?
[sister] She's been through a lot.
She's not comfortable
with a certain person being in Aydin's life.
[Farhana] You promised me.
I never promised you.
That "I'll never let anyone else come in between."
No one's coming in between.
[Farhana] When he left, five years ago, I asked him for one thing.
I said, "Can you make sure this woman,
she's not going to be part of Aydin's life?"
He goes, "I promise she won't." Now he wants this. This won't happen.
That was the decision you took, and that was the choice you made.
-You left us for her. -No, I'm sorry. No, I left you for you.
Would you want to be in a relationship where you come home
and all you're doing is getting shouted at?
"What's going on?" Every single day.
I get it. You were hurt. I get it.
But why blame someone else for why your marriage failed?
I find that ridiculous. Take self-responsibility.
[Farhana] Why can't you own up?
-Nothing to own up. I did not mess up. -You know what? People will respect you.
Why don't you own up and say you messed up?
Why don't you own up that you messed up the marriage?
-You didn't mess the marriage up? -I didn't mess up.
She's told the world, "This is what he's done."
I haven't done anything. Like, I left because I was not happy.
Heroies, you can see Aydin whenever you want.
Farhana is not stopping you.
But if she has just a few restrictions, it's her son at the end of day.
-Bebo, I understand you. -You have to understand.
Anyway, listen. Honestly, I'm done with this topic.
-I'm so done with this topic. -I'm so not done with this topic.
Every time I see him, he brings this up.
This topic will continue for the next two, three months.
-After that, I'm going to take Aydin. -And on and on and on and on.
I asked nicely, as Mahira suggested to me.
Yet, nothing changed. Looks like we're back to square one.
I'll keep trying until I get my son.
Hello, everybody!
My name is Alina Siddiqui.
[man] Hi, Alina.
Do you want to write?
What are you doing?
A curtain!
[Zeina] I sat at the desk to start my day,
and all I see is Alina in her heels.
[imitates clicking]
All around the floor. Mini Safa. Oh my God.
Hi, sweetheart! Hi!
-[Zeina] Mm. -[sighs]
This is so nice.
She's sitting so well. I think she's getting used to the office, babe.
Next time you have a situation at home,
either you tell me.
We arrange for a playdate with my kids.
-But they're so well-behaved! -Or you can work from home.
Babe, I don't know. I think I can't hack real estate anymore.
Honestly, for me, I don't want to continue in real estate.
I think it's much easier to work for myself.
In that way, I'm my own boss.
I can control what I'm trying to do, and then I won't disappoint Zeina.
It's just so time-consuming. I'm not spending time with the kids.
I am so tired,
and I think it's not my passion anymore.
I have my fashion business. It's really booming.
-I'm-- It's been a really-- -It's done?
I feel like it's sad, right?
It is.
With a heavy heart, I decided to resign.
I really thought I could hack
this whole working in a corporate environment again.
But Safa is not the same Safa.
Safa's priorities have changed since she had children.
Fahad's health is really bad.
This is also the reason why I kind of wanted to finish things here.
He doesn't want to do anything about it,
and I really have to get him to lose weight.
Can I have the number of that personal trainer?
-The one you suggested. -The personal trainer?
[Safa] Mm-hmm.
-[Zeina] You want him to start again? -Something like that.
So you're okay with it now?
Something like that.
The helicopter wife
has a little mission.
I have something coming up.
-Sent. -It's been a great experience.
Thank you so much for having me in, like, your office.
-That's it? -Yeah.
Mm.
Yeah.
Oh my God. The office is gonna be so much quieter.
[exhales] Less drama.
Less cool outfits.
Yeah. [laughs]
It's definitely more fun when Safa is around.
And Safa has what it takes to be a top performer.
But she's not in that place anymore.
What are you going to do with Mahira's event?
What's the event for anyway?
I don't know.
[Zeina] After Safa's event, I'm afraid of surprises.
Mahira invited us to an event.
She has a big announcement to share with us.
Super excited to unravel this mystery
that she's been talking about for a while.
[Safa] I'm not sure if I'm going to come.
As much time as I can spend with the kids and Fahad, I'm gonna do that,
but I'm sure you'll have fun.
Okay, it will be fun.
To wear either white and silver or…
and butterflies.
White, silver and butterflies. All the three themes in one.
Maybe I send Alina, then.
[both laugh]
[Safa] Mahira's really sweet. I like her.
But unfortunately, I won't be able to make it
for her event tomorrow.
I need to spend time with my kids. They need me the most right now.
Anyway, Ebraheem had a conversation with me.
-When? -[Zeina] At Mona's photo shoot.
He straight up told me.
What?
"That if Hanna doesn't apologize,
I don't plan on giving you the trademark."
What?
But I didn't tell Hanna.
I don't want to put Hanna in this situation.
Ebraheem is escalating,
and now he's putting conditions to give me the trademark.
So, I don't think the situation
will sit very well with Hanna.
So what are you gonna do?
If he continues being stubborn about giving me the trademark
unless Hanna apologizes…
Um, I will have to go the hard way.
-Really? -I'll have to go legal.
This whole trademark situation between Ebraheem and Zeina
is really disappointing me.
Going legal is never a great idea, especially between friends.
It's, like, a place you can't really come back from.
And I'm gonna make sure we fix this.
[Marwan] After my retreat in Kenya,
the boy is back, landed in Dubai!
And I'm going straight to my concert
and straight to the DJ booth.
[hip-hop music playing]
Today, I'm DJing at Untold Festival Dubai, voted top five festivals in the world.
There's a four-day lineup
with all the best DJs and artists in the world.
And then there's me,
an Emirati DJ who's right up there with the best of the best.
And I've got this new energy, this new attitude.
I feel like I'm reborn, and I'm ready to take over the stage.

[Danya] I'm meeting Ebraheem at the concert.
He called me and said he's going to meet me there
to see Bliss perform, and I'm so excited for him.
And of course, I want to support my husband.
[shouting]
[Ebraheem] Regardless of all the tension,
and regardless of any misunderstandings DJ Bliss and I have, he's my brother.
So I'd like to be there to support him.
♪ Get your party on… ♪
[Marwan] Ready?
Let's go and we get this party started.
One, two, three!
-[dance music playing] -[cheering]
Can I take you around the world?
[hip-hop music playing]
I see you, Diva Dee. Let's go!
[Danya] We love you!
[Marwan] While I was playing, I saw Danya holding up a sign for me.
And she's there. Super happy, supportive.
That's really the only person I want here right now.
But I also see Ebraheem has come.
At first, I was a little shocked because I thought we were not in a good place.
However, I'm not going to lie.
Ebraheem has always been supportive of what I do.
So, you know, I'm happy to see Ebraheem here as well.
-[hip-hop music playing] -[cheering]
-[shouting] -Yeah!
-Thank you, Dubai! Love you! -[cheering]
[Danya] That was amazing.
[Marwan] Thank you for the sign.
"Together through every tempo."
-Proud of you. You killed it like always. -Thank you.
It's the first time Danya and I were really talking face to face
since I showed up straight for the show.
And she had that smile on her face
similar to the smile she had when we first met and we used to do these things.
And you feel like your trip in Kenya helped you with the set today?
Yeah, for sure. I mean, I think I over-relaxed.
Really? [laughs]
-It was good to be away, for sure. -Yeah.
I learned so many things in Kenya
about myself, about life,
about relationships, about people.
Wow.
I'm just, like, filled with knowledge.
I literally went there, came back
and felt like I read a thousand books.
So, when you left,
I read your letter.
I was so sad because I didn't know that you felt that way.
-You know? -Yeah.
Especially when you said that at some point,
you felt like you wanted to give up on the relationship.
I had no idea.
It really, really made me
really emotional, really sad.
Yeah.
And I don't want you to feel that way about us.
I don't want to feel that way either.
I think I just bottle things up a little too much sometimes.
[Danya] Yeah.
Honestly, it was just everything that was going on.
And I feel like I was going through it alone.
And I was really trying to communicate with you last year
and telling you, I'm going through something.
But you never really said it to me. You were like--
Maybe I didn't say it in the exact words,
but if you paid attention a little bit, you would have noticed,
-I did give you-- -I didn't.
I really didn't know you were struggling to the point you wanted to give up on us.
-Yeah. -I didn't know.
I am convinced
that she understands how serious this matter is now.
The goal is for both of us and our family to be in the best place.
And if what I had to do is what it took
for us to be good,
then it's for a good cause.
-I love you. -I love you too.
And I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry for what you went through,
and I'm sorry I wasn't there to really listen to you.
I'm going to work on our relationship and put everything else on the side.
Our relationship and our communication is what really matters to me.
[Marwan] Thank you.
-I love you. -I love you.
My relationship with Danya,
starting today, is a blank white paper
for us to start rewriting our story.
Speaking of going home, can we go home, please? I'm so tired.
-Let's go. I'll drive you home, honey. -Please.
[Danya] I have the biggest news to share,
but Bliss is super tired.
He just finished a huge gig.
I don't think it's time for me to tell him the big news.
I'm going to wait for him to go home, sleep,
and I will find the right time to tell him the news.
-I can't wait to go home, see the kids. -[Danya] I know. Me too.

So, you know, Bliss just got back.
Did you tell him?
Yeah, later.
[laughs] Okay.
Danya has a secret
that I was first to know
because we're always in touch.
But she doesn't want to tell anyone.
I told him everything. Yeah, he knows everything.
Ebraheem just guessed my big news.
It's not like I told him.
This is something between me and my husband.
He should respect my privacy.
I'm planning on doing, like, a fun day out with Bliss.
-Want to come with us? -Of course. That's not even a question.
I think this week, we'll go something, maybe arcade.
-Just chill. Nothing too crazy. -Yeah, I think that'd be nice.
[Danya] I know that Bliss and Ebraheem aren't on good terms.
So, I thought this is the best time to just tell Ebraheem,
"Hey, do you want to come to the arcade with me?"
And then just, you know,
get them to talk with each other and hash things out.
-["She is the Boss" playing] -♪ She is the boss ♪

-[Danya] Hello, Safa. -Hi.
-[Danya] How are you? -How are you?
Should I have come in a snake outfit?
-[laughing] -Denim looks good on you.
-Not leather, not snake today. -Denim looks peaceful. It's nice.
-Yeah, and it's playful. -With egg glasses.
There is an opportunity we have for you to be a part of Besties Café.
-Okay. -[Ebraheem] Okay.
We just want to know if it's okay with you and Zeina
that we use your name for, like, a very cool marketing idea.
You know, how different shops
have different names for the sizes of the coffee.
-So, I was thinking "Zeina" and "Safa." -[laughing]
-Our Farha and Marha. -Aww, cute!
-You know which one you are, right? -Of course. I'm the small one.
Espresso, that's me. Small but mighty.
I mean, for me, it's fine.
[Danya] We have to ask Zeina.
Maybe you should fix things and then ask her.
By the way, what is going on with this trademark stuff?
So, the trademark, like I said,
I was giving it to her as a gift.
-Then my-- -But you haven't.
I haven't. Hadn't had the chance to,
before Hanna can come and destroy everything.
-But this is not related. -It is related.
Her husband made a mistake, and he has to apologize.
No, this is not good.
Ebraheem, push your ego to the side for a second.
This is not about Hanna.
This is about you and Zeina fixing what you already fixed.
I believe a gift is a gift. No matter what.
If somebody wants to retract a gift, that's upon them.
I think you should give it to her because you gave your word.
-Yeah. -You're a man of your word.
I am a man of my word, but he needs to apologize first.
Zeina and her husband need to know who's the boss.
Ebraheem is boss.
Period. Simple.
You know, honestly, I'm done with this. I'm done with this.
-I think you guys are both mature men. -Yeah.
-Can sit down, have a conversation. -Yeah, I can sit down.
It doesn't need to be aggressive.
Prep him that he needs to apologize, so he knows.
So I won't have to tell him to apologize. That's all.
I know when he says something, he means it.
So, if you don't prep Hanna, either just don't do it.
Or if you want, give Hanna a heads-up, like, this is what Ebraheem said.
[Safa] What's happening is not fair to Zeina.
She doesn't deserve to go through this.
Hanna and Ebraheem need to fix this.
And I will make sure to put them both together.
You'll see.
[chuckles] Simmer down! Simmer down.
["Alby Plastic" by Ruby playing]
[singing in Arabic]
[Mahira] Today, it's my day. The day of the event,
I will announce my divorce for the first time.
To make a decision to get divorced,
it took me four years.
When the divorce became final,
I took the decision that it's time to announce properly.
It looks amazing. On theme with the butterflies.
I decided to make the separation public.
So, I invited the whole group to announce to everyone once and for all.
[Marwan] We're going to Mahira's event, and I've just come back from a retreat.
And I'm in the best place possible mentally.
So, I am not looking forward to seeing everyone.
I can tell you that.
-On theme. Thank you! -Yes, you're welcome.
I love this!
[Roz] Today is Mahira's event. I'm so excited to go.
No one knows what's it about or why Mahira's doing the event.
I'm the only one that knows. Inshallah, it's fun and drama free.
This is our first time getting together
after Mona Kattan's photo shoot.
There's a lot of tension and grudges.
People are taking precautions against one another.
-[Loujain] How are you? -Our butterfly.
-You're the butterfly today. -I'm good.
Oh my God!
-Hello, my dear. -[Roz] Hi, darling. You look beautiful.
[laughing]
-My seat is here? -[Mahira] Yes.
Loujain being here or not here, makes no difference to me honestly.
For me, she doesn't exist.
[Ebraheem] I honestly don't want any trouble,
not with Zeina, nor with her husband.
But my peace of mind
won't come before dignity.
If Hanna's a real man, he'll apologize.
Right now I'm avoiding telling Hanna
that Ebraheem's condition to giving back my trademark
is for Hanna to apologize.
His reaction might be too strong
and instead of fixing things will only make things worse.
-[screams] -[shouts]
-[Roz] It's okay. -It's for good luck. It's okay.
[Marwan] Wow.
It must be the evil eye, because everything that falls and breaks
is brought on by ill wishes.
So we say five khamsas for protection.
-[glasses clink] -All right, so…
So, thank you all for coming.
I know you're all wondering why I gathered you.
As you all know, we grew up as kids
mesmerized by fairy tales and living happily ever after.
However, not all fairy tales end with a happily ever after.
I know there's been rumors,
especially since my husband hasn't been seen with me in a while.
So, after many, many memories,
after many, many chapters
and after many attempts to salvage it…
[voice breaks] …I am sad to announce…
-Um, I don't know why this is so hard. -[Jwana] Darling!
But my fairy tale has ended, and I'm officially divorced.
[sobs] So, yeah.
I know, um…
Wow! This is harder than I thought.
I was shocked with myself, honestly.
I mean, I couldn't say it. Even now, I still can't say it.
That I…
I'm divorced. Oh my God.
I'm hurting, but I'm healing at the same time. Don't ask me how.
It's a roller coaster of emotions.
But I know I'm ready to start this new chapter.
I'm ready to claim what I deserve and what I'm really worth.
-Absolutely. -[Mahira] Thank you.
[Farhana] Yeah, cheers to a new beginning.
[Mahira] I think that Mahira deserves a new life.
[sighs] I think she deserves a pat on the shoulder.
She's been through a lot.
She endured a lot and was patient,
and I hope her efforts won't go to waste.
[Jwana] No matter what, people fight hard not to lose their families.
I waited for five or six years.
And she waited for a few years,
because it's the woman who supports and endures,
but sometimes a woman has to choose divorce despite her wishes.
Because she has no other option.
It's not easy. It's not an easy decision.
When you divorce, you break a family, especially with children.
I stayed and tried to make the marriage work because of my child.
And I took the decision to leave because of my child.
I gave in.
I crushed my dignity to keep my family going.
I tried till the last second.
Your daughter, I think she will understand,
and it's gonna make her a stronger person.
-I hope so. -She's going to be proud of you.
I don't know how I'm going to tell her. [sniffles]
I'm just tired of everyone telling me, "You're so strong. You're so…"
I'm not strong because I want to be. I'm strong because I have to.
I don't have another option. And sometimes, it just gets hard.
You're just, "I don't want to be strong anymore."
One of the hardest things for all women going through this
is being the perfect mom
when your life is literally collapsing,
and your heart is breaking, but you cannot show it.
You have to be a happy mom and a caring mom,
when you don't even want to get out of bed.
It will be hard not because you're weak,
but because of the years you spent together,
which is part of our traditions.
It shows that you were raised well.
So you move on with your life,
and you might get the chance to shine even brighter
because you're not relying on anyone.
And you'll be able to give your daughter a hundred percent.
You'll care for her, raise her and teach her better than before.
I hope so.
It was clear there'd been a closeness and a bond between Mahira and her husband
and that she had respected that bond.
Life continues, and it doesn't end with one individual or one person.
And just remember, everything happens for a reason.
And God's plan is always better.
And everything we go through is an experience that we learn from.
It's better to learn that lesson now than spend our lives together
before realizing that it was the wrong relationship.
[sighs]
It's very hard because it hurts.
And I'm going through the same, and I can feel her.
When you talk about a relationship that's ended,
you're not just talking about a person that's left your life.
You're talking about many years lost.
Okay, so whether you're married or single, we've all been in relationships.
Today, I would like to break the cycle.
Everyone should write down on paper
the baggage that you have taken from the previous relationships.
We've all experienced failed relationships,
no matter what kind they are.
Let's appreciate everything that we've been through,
and at the same time, help each other start anew.
The baggage from my previous relationship is
I didn't acknowledge the red flags when I saw them.
Don't wait for someone to change because people can't change who they are.
The next person that I get married to or be in a relationship with,
the last thing I want is the toxic behavior.
No disrespect.
I don't force relationships. Don't force feelings. Don't force love.
Let it happen naturally.
Be honest with your partner.
Because honesty is the most important thing and trust.
True.
I find it hard to trust people, because people are opportunists.
I used to be very scared to prioritize myself and work.
But with Hassan,
I feel like he encourages me and supports me
to focus on myself first,
and I really appreciate that, and I've never felt that before.
-So thank you. I love you. [kisses] -[women] Aw!
One thing I used to always do is dim my light.
But one of the main reasons, other than his looks,
that I ended up with Hannoun
is that he's always the first person to be clapping
for any success that I have.
-[Roz] Aw, that's so cute! -My love. [kisses]
I'm very happy that Hanna and I, we ended up together.
And I found someone that actually nurtures my growth
and wants me to be bigger and better.
The only thing you should take away from any relationship
and anything in life and what you have to go back to is your heart and love.
That's where everything gets better,
and that's why I'm with this beautiful lady sitting in front of me.
The day after I came back from Kenya, Danya gave me the best news ever.
We haven't told anyone yet. Waiting for the right time.
As you were coming in here, you saw luggage.
We're gonna take this.
Put it in the luggage
and hopefully break the cycle.
The idea of destroying the luggage will also help them break the cycle.
Let's go.
Because it's a way to let out all the pent-up anger
or any negative feelings.
[pop music playing]
Put your paper in the luggage
and then break it.
[Jwana] Excuse me, please! I need to bust someone's head open.
[Loujain] I'm annoyed. I'm not comfortable with the group.
There was a bit of tension.
[Mahira] Destroy the luggage only.
-I have to go. -Yes. Okay.
Before they started breaking things, I left Mahira's event,
because, uh, I had a prior engagement.
I don't feel like I even want to be there.
-[LJ] Bye! -Begin.
[Roz] Go on, Mahira.
-Go, Roz! -Hercules! Whoa! Okay!
When I was breaking it, I felt like I was destroying the past
and letting it go.
[Mahira and Zeina talking indistinctly]
There's a lot of anger in this group. Whoa! [chuckles]
I might need to send this whole group…
[chuckles] …to that retreat in Kenya real soon. Whew!
Let's go.
I let go of many things from the previous relationship, of course,
but then, there are some things that need to be handled.
Bye, guys. See you.
[Marwan] So, me and Danya we have to politely excuse ourselves.
Honestly, I felt like this energy wasn't really the energy that I wanted to be in.
Farhana, what happened with your date? With your ex?
He keeps bringing up the same topic, and I'm annoyed right now.
Let it go. Get over it.
He needs to know I'm not going to accept it. And that's it. I won't.
-So, you'll keep repeating the same topic? -It's like inside your clothes.
I will just file for custody. That's it. I didn't do it till now. I'll do it now.
So, when Heroies and I filed the divorce, we didn't file for custody,
because we wanted to co-parent together.
But if the situation comes where I really need to file for custody, I will.
-Give it a last try, I think. -Let's see.
I think they need to find a solution just for their son's sake.
-[pop music playing] -♪ I'm a fighter… ♪
-[laughing] -[Mona] Oh my God!
[cheering]
Okay, guys. Can I say something?
First of all, I had so much fun with you.
-[Salem] Us too. -But I'm going to leave in two days.
So, I would love to meet the girls
and go out together to say bye to see you all before I leave.
And fight with each other because it's always a part of the gathering.
No drama.
I'm going back to LA.
So I thought I'd do a girls' lunch
to thank them for everything.
Farhana, where's LJ?
-She left. -Why?
I don't know, but I want to ask Jwana something.
As a friend, I really care about Jwana,
so now that LJ left,
I found the right moment to talk to Jwana about what happened at Mona's photo shoot.
When we were doing the photo shoot, the cameraman said to LJ
to stand next to you because he was putting us in our positions, right?
So why did you say "not here" loudly in front of everyone?
You, in the middle, in the back.
No, no, not here, please. Just somewhere else.
Can you stop?
Why are you putting yourself all the time in this thing?
But I'm saying it in a nice way.
-I'm tired. Why are you-- -You told me to stop the topic.
Oh my God!
Oh, Farhana.
Farhana is not only annoying me now.
She's upsetting me.
I got tired of this.
If there's so much drama between you, why are you still friends?
This is what I myself find hard to believe.
I should have ended this friendship entirely.
-But what did she do? Tell us. -I'm so sick and tired of it.
Farhana has two very good friends.
And these friends don't talk to each other, so she's trying to fix it.
-Hold on! I am not a "friend." -She's your sister.
Yeah.
I was there for Farhana, so I consider her my sister,
but if my sister does not stand by me,
then how can I consider her a sister?
Farhana, if you had to choose between the two, who would you choose?
The elephant in the room!
Please someone address this question.
It's my business. It's Jwana's business. It's LJ's business.
What we do with our friendship has got nothing to do with others.
And they need to back off, really, 'cause it's starting to piss me off now.
-Answer her. -For me, obviously Jwana comes first.
-She knows that. -[Jwana] Thanks so much.
My loyalty and friendship is always with Jwana.
-She knows that. -She loves you the most.
The first person to say something logical this evening.
Yeah, but this conversation needs to happen with LJ here
to see what everyone would say in front of LJ.
Bravo. Bravo, Zeina.
Have the guts, Farhana,
to answer this question in front of Jwana and LJ.
-At the end of the day, I am Farhana. -[Zeina] Yes.
Nobody ever tells Farhana what to do. We're not kids, babe.
We're not kids. That's why we need to have strong opinions.
We need to be able
to assess people around.
I don't know why everyone wants to get involved.
Especially, Zeina, like…
I think Zeina just wants to add fuel to the fire.
-Where's Mahira? -[Jwana] Exactly.
What's going on outside anyway?
Mahira left the table suddenly while we were talking.
We looked behind us
and saw Mahira lying on a table.
Nobody knew what was going on, so we went to find out.
Oh my God. Mahira, what is going on? [chuckles]
-Whoa, whoa! -No way!
-No, come on. -[Jwana] No, no, in the name of God!
So, Mahira suddenly starts to levitate above the table,
and she's, like, flying in the air.
I think it was very symbolic.
-I flew like a butterfly. -[all cheering]
[laughing]
First of all, I have to thank Ahmed El Bayed.
He needs no introduction.
He came all the way from Saudi to offer you guys some entertainment,
to tell you thank you for coming.
-Thank you. -Thank you very much.
[Mahira] It was a very intense day. I went through a lot of emotions.
But I feel much better now that my divorce, it's out there.
It's known.
And I'm ready to start a new chapter in my life.
-[pop music playing] -♪ I got big dreams ♪
[ululating]
[Mahira] At the end of my event, I got in the car.
And I really felt at peace
and ready to start a new chapter of my life.
[cheering]
[dance music playing]
-Hi. -Hi.
-How are you? -Fine. How are you?
Can I get one of the bowling alleys, please?
-Okay. For two persons? -Two people. Yes.
I'm going out on a date with Danya to the arcade.
Taking it back to the days when we used to go out, play, have fun.
You know, just fun stuff, like how we used to before.
All right, here we go. This is the one.
[exhales]
It's the one.
Surprise!
-I got Ebraheem. -Wow! You got a plus-one?
What's going on? I thought we were having a date night tonight,
but…
Ebraheem is here.
Let's have a
date night plus the third wheel.
-You know why I asked Ebraheem to come? -[Marwan] Why?
Because the last time,
I felt like you guys weren't on, like, besties mode.
And there was, you know, like, some weird vibes between you guys.
I would love for Bliss and Ebraheem to make up and move on.
I wish we could go back to where we were.
We haven't had a good time in such a long time.
Are you guys okay? Is everything okay with you guys?
-Of course, we're okay. He's my boy. -Yeah, I mean…
Look, honestly, this trip changed my whole--
-He came back a new man. -Brand-new. I value what's important.
Our friendship is more important than everything else.
I know Ebraheem, deep down inside,
he's got the biggest heart.
He's just also got the biggest mouth.
So I'm good with Ebraheem.
However, in my mind, I've set some boundaries.
No, you're good. You're the third wheel.
[Danya] You're the third wheel.
I'm the third wheel?
Danya and I are besties.
He's the third wheel.
[Marwan] Hello!
[laughs]
Watch, watch, oh! [exhales]
[Marwan] Oh! Oops!
[imitates gunfire]
-[Marwan] Look! -[laughs]
[laughs]
Me and Bliss both have super special news.
-Hold on. -[Danya] Ebraheem guessed it.
And he went with it.
He thought it's a joke because we're friends,
and we're always making fun and joking.
But you know, sometimes things are serious.
By the way, I haven't seen Hamdah in a long time.
Is she okay? What's going on?
-Things are not going so well. -What?
What's happening?
There was a fallout between her and my mom.
What?
It was actually between me and her, but my mom got involved,
'cause my mom was there.
And my mom had to see us argue and fight,
and, like, it was so, so, so bad.
My wife Hamdah and I have been having some marital problems for a while,
and we're not talking to each other.
-To hear this, makes me so sad. -Same.
You guys just got married, and you love each other.
[Ebraheem] The thing is that
we're having a hard time being on the same page.
[Danya] It really broke my heart.
Like, I really wanted him to be happy.
I wanted this relationship to work because I love them both so much.
You need to work on your relationship.
Right, Marwan?
Me and Marwan also went through ups and downs, but we didn't give up.
I want you to give it one more try to try to make it work.
Don't give up on your relationship yet, okay?
And I want to see you smiling, bro. I want to see you smiling.
My marriage with Hamdah, I'm going to give it all I can to save it.
I didn't get married just to get divorced.
But if I can't do it, then it's God's will.

I covered her eyes so I can surprise her
with the whole setup that we've done.
Putting out a dinner table in the middle of the sea.
And we got this big heart, filled with roses,
and these are all her favorite things.
-Where are we? -We are here, marshmallow.
Where are we? I want to see.
I can't believe it's already our two-year wedding anniversary.
I'm actually feeling really excited.
I like surprises because of the thought,
but I wish I knew about the surprise. Like, someone should tell me. [chuckles]
-I want to see. -No.
-Baby, show me. I want to see. -There's still a little bit. [laughs]
[shouts] Oh my God!
This is so cute!
It's so beautiful. It's so romantic.
Honestly, if these are the kind of surprises he's going to do,
when I let him take control, like…
I'm going to let him have it.
-My love! -I love you, beautiful.
I'm really glad you like your surprise.
I was happy to see Mona let go a little bit.
You can't be in control of everything.
So I've decided I'm going to de-hoard a lot of things
that I haven't used for, like, over four or five years.
That's a start.
And you're probably going to love all of the extra space
for whatever it is you want to do.
Mm-hmm. Like what?
-Like a baby room. -Yeah?
So I've also decided
that I've put in my calendar
for us to get pregnant in August, for your birthday.
[laughing]
It would not just be in her calendar.
It would even be in her countdown app. [laughs]
Hopefully, it will work out the way she wants.
-Why are you laughing? I'm serious! -I love that!
I know last year we talked about a pregnancy date,
but I did have to have a surgery.
So now, it's been over six months
since I've had my surgery.
And it's safe for me to get pregnant.
And that way, I can give birth on my birthday.
-Yeah? Habibi. -I love that. [laughs]
Getting pregnant on my birthday would be the best gift,
probably that I've ever got.
[Mona laughing]
[Hassan] But you can't control how these things go.
[in Arabic] It's all in God's hands, and…
[in English] …I would be happy with any time, any place, anywhere.
So, I think, you know, leading up to that,
we want to try and have as many dates as we possibly can.
Something that is going to be sustainable.
-And for that… -Which is?
You just block a particular day
on the calendar every week.
You just call it "date time."
And then you leave all the logistics to me. I'll take care of all of that.
I think we can agree on every other week we plan something,
and the following week,
we do a surprise.
Deal then.
For the first time, I'm feeling so comfortable with everything.
I'm not feeling forced.
I'm feeling truly ready to plan for a baby, to let go, to de-hoard
and just to, like, make a change in my life.
I love you, baby. Should we dance?
-Come on. -Let's go. Take me for a dance.
It was a wonderful evening.
I honestly couldn't have planned for a better date.
I just want to live in this moment for as long as possible
and just cherish it forever.
-[dance music playing] -[woman singing in Arabic]
Oh my God! [laughs]
Habibi.
Really, I really love you.

-[Mona] My dear. -[Jwana] My darling!
How are you doing? What's new?
I can't believe you're leaving tomorrow.
Ugh! Me neither. I can't believe.
[laughing]
Ladies, first of all,
thank you so much for giving me the best time in Dubai. [laughing]
It's been a pleasure to meet you all.
Thank you, Mahira. Thank you, Mona.
You've done so much for me.
I'm really going to miss Roz.
It was so nice having her here in Dubai.
After Mahira's event, I found the right chance
to ask Mona's question again in front of LJ.
It's nice to have things, uh, clear in front of everyone.
And realize the truth of the people around us.
Safa, yesterday, you missed an event. You should've been there.
You missed some action. [chuckles]
What happened? What did I miss?
There was a discussion on the table, okay?
And then Mona, out of the blue, she put someone on the spot.
It was just a simple question.
What was the question?
It's none of your business. Why bring it up?
Zeina, Zeina, Zeina.
She has nothing better to do in life but to gossip.
No, but it's unfair.
I feel if this discussion needs to happen, it needs to happen in front of LJ,
not in her absence.
It's time for Mona to get the real answer to her question,
while all parties are present.
Is there something happening behind my back?
It was just a question.
Mona asked Farhana,
if she had to choose between you and Jwana.
-Okay. -Because there was, like, tension.
[Zeina] Because Farhana is always trying to make you sit with Jwana.
[Loujain] Okay, I want to ask you this question.
If you were to choose between me and her, who would you choose?
All right. [sighs]
For me, you guys are not as close as you are to Farhana.
You know what I mean? It's a very different situation.
Okay, but why would you even ask her to choose?
I think all of us were wondering, and I just blurted it out.
And I was just curious.
I didn't mean it with bad intentions. I was just curious.
I can't tolerate this fakeness anymore.
If someone has something to say,
just say it right now and get it over with. I'm tired of this.
-I have something to say. -[Loujain] Say it.
I think LJ and Jwana love each other,
and there's a lot of hurt, and you guys need to talk about it.
Please, sorry to say that.
Keep your opinion to yourself, please.
-She asked if anyone has something to say. -[Jwana] Yes, but that's wrong.
Don't say something about me.
Control freak. Control freak. You love to control everyone all the time.
Making sure they're all like your puppets.
She has the freedom to say whatever she wants to say.
I want you guys to get along. I don't want any drama whatsoever.
Listen, we're never gonna get along.
That's it! I'm the one who ended this friendship.
-I'm going to stick to it. I'm the one. -Ha! Yeah, exactly!
Ha! You will never accept because you have so much ego.
-[Jwana] Don't let me talk. -Talk, please.
-Go ahead, talk. -[Jwana] Don't get me started.
You should be ashamed. You should feel embarrassed.
You really want to go there?
-Go there! I want you to! Go there! -Okay, fine.
Loujain. She used to be my bestie.
We used to sleep on the same bed.
She talked to my ex.
-That is not true. -[Jwana] And, moreover, she said
to Farhana, "I did this thing to spite Jwana."
That is not true. I'm friends with him!
[Jwana] I saw.
And more than one person told me that she added my ex.
She even admitted it,
and she doesn't even feel slightly guilty about it.
-The audacity! -I can be friends with whoever I want.
Why? No, you don't have the right!
Listen, shut up!
You don't say, "Shut up!"
-You have the nerve to talk about this! -Shut up! I do!
-And in front of the girls! Backstabber! -I do! Because you're lying!
-You're disrespectful. -You're lying! You're a liar!
You have no respect for traditions and ethics.
You're a liar!
Let them all know you for who you really are.
[Loujain] You're a liar!
The issue between them reminded me of something I went through.
I was betrayed a lot by the closest people to me.
And I know how much it hurts.
So I didn't want to be reminded of that, so I left the scene.
-You'd better sit down and shut up! -You hate that I'm friends with him.
You hate that I'm friends with him.
-You hate it! -[Jwana] Don't--
You can't help it!
Why are you friends with him?
Oh my God!
-[Zeina] Why are you friends with him? -Time out.
-If you're not going to let me talk… -Please, hold on a moment.
-Let us hear her out. -Time out.
-If you're not going to let me talk… -[Zeina] Please, talk.
LJ has to talk. There's always two sides of the story.
You have to respect my side of the story
or don't be part of it.
At all.
She is saying her side of the story
after what I've done to her.
She's forgetting what she's done to me.
Jwana was like my sister.
And I really loved her so much.
But there was a time she was not okay.
She was treating me like shit, talking to me like shit.
Being controlling over me.
And I never liked that.
But one time, there was this guy I liked.
I'm going to say it in front of all of you.
I introduced her to him.
She goes to him, and she tells him,
"Listen! This girl, she really likes you."
"Be careful, huh?"
Why is it she can't keep a secret?
Then she became friends with him.
-So that really hurt me. -I know all his family.
And the family, they're my very close friends.
You knew there was something between us.
She really thinks she can do whatever she wants to people.
For her, it's, "So what?"
But if someone does anything to her, "No!"
You know what they say, "An eye for an eye."
This has become more than an eye.
My friendship with her ex is not flirting.
Because for me, it doesn't add anything in my life.
But I wanted to get you in pain just like you hurt me!
-But that's not nice. -[Jwana] Wow! Thank you so much!
That's horrible!
LJ told her side of the story.
I wish she hadn't.
-That's very bad. -Yes, that's horrible.
-But it's also horrible what she does. -Wow!
Now everyone can see her true colors.
And she did it to herself. Not anyone else.
Did you feel sorry that you did that? Do you regret it?
It's not that. You know how I was four years ago.
I was still a child, okay?
But now I wouldn't do something like that.
But what I did? Oh my God!
It's not about age.
It's about mentality. It's common sense.
And I don't think she has any of that.
I was doing everything for you. Everything! Everything!
-[Loujain] What are you talking about? -I was-- Anything you--
-Jwana, you were like my sister. -[Jwana] Exactly!
That's why I was like your sister! I did everything!
Fuck!
-LJ, you have to apologize. LJ, please. -No!
She doesn't admit that she also hurt me!
Why do you guys don't understand?
She also hurt me in so many ways.
-[Farhana] I know, babe. Please… -No!
Of course, they are going to go like, uh,
"Oh, Jwana. Oh, you are so sad." [cries]
Because you're all afraid to speak up.
Because you all know how Jwana is.
No one can stand up to her. No one.
