[tense music playing]
-Is she your friend or not? -Of course.
[Marwan] When everyone's attacking, why do you sit?
[splutters] Because it's not my fight!
She's your friend!
Marwan, you're making it worse.
I held her hand and pulled her out.
If anyone did anything right for her, it was me today.
Farhana. I will defend her when she's right, not when she's wrong.
By you removing her like that, I think that's what escalated it.
-I escalated it? -[Ebraheem] Yes.
-She should've just talked. -[Marwan] I escalated it?
[Ebraheem] That's what I felt. They were just talking.
[Mahira] How can you have a conversation if you keep screaming?
Instead of starting a fight, why it's okay?
I'm valet parking the car somewhere else.
I did what I always do. I left.
-Hi! I made it. How are you? -How are you?
-Farhana, did you feel attacked today? -Of course!
-We need your help. -How are you?
-Hi. -Hi, babe. How are you?
-Hi. How are you? What's going on? -[Farhana] Hi. All good?
[Loujain] I think I came at the wrong time.
So I arrived late to Ebraheem's event,
and I wasn't really sure, to be honest, what's happening,
but there was a lot of tension.
Guys, can we, uh, settle the situation down?
-We want to continue-- -I don't want to talk to the mean girls.
They need to stay away from me.
[Ebraheem] You on one side. Them on one side.
-We're not. There are no mean girls here. -[Safa] Can you identify mean girls?
[laughs, sighs]
-I will plan a schedule. -Let me talk. [chuckles]
Come. Let Mona come. I want to explain to Mona.
[Mona] Do you mind if I just sit with Farhana by ourselves?
Let's just talk alone.
I don't want to make you feel on the spot or anything.
I went to Farhana to speak to her because sizing people up,
that's not cool.
And this needs to stop.
Do you think it was nice to call everybody and ask about her car?
They like to talk shit about everyone. I thought I'd ask them.
But you don't have to be like that if you don't agree with it.
I wanted to give her a taste of her own medicine.
-Babe, that's what she does. -But you don't have to do that.
I do think Farhana brought part of this on her.
You know, if you're going around asking about people's belongings
and what they own, you're asking for trouble.
-I just think there's a misunderstanding. -You're very naive. Babe, you're too nice.
You need to open your eyes and see who the real people are around you.
I mean, honestly, I can't say anything
because they've been nothing but nice to me.
Yeah, obviously, they're going to be nice to you.
You're Mona Kattan, baby. They need you. They're going to use you.
It was the right time for me to let Mona know
that they're using Mona as well, and that she needs to stop being naive
and she needs to see the side of them that I see
and how manipulating they are.
I just think, let's try to calm down
and make Ebraheem feel special for his event and try to keep the peace.
He cares about both of you.
So we don't want to put him on the spot today, you know?
But come on, we're at an event. There are people around.
Like, let it be.
Ebraheem, he's a close friend, and I needed to support him.
DUBAI BLING
-[pop music playing] -[vocalizing]
So, guys, I'm sorry for what happened earlier.
I wanted to make a small game, just to kind of change things up,
so we can start our event later on
before our actual guests come in.
[Marwan] Me and Danya decided to stay at Ebraheem's event.
Because we're going to show support, even though
there's some real tension between us.
So, here, we're going to be able to see
who actually has been using Botox or no.
[hums fanfare, laughs]
-[Mona gasps] -[Zeina] No!
I brought up old pictures for each one.
To show them how they looked like before and after.
So who thinks--
-Moni! -[Mona] Look so old.
-That's so embarrassing. That's 2008. -[Marwan] That's you?
Yeah, I do Botox. I do fillers.
I do laser treatments. And I've never been ashamed of it.
Just own it.
-[Ebraheem] I don't know who this is. -Seriously?
[all] Mahira.
-She looks the same. You look the same. -[laughing]
Guys, ready for this one?
[Mona laughing] Oh! Marwan!
So cute!
[Danya] I would marry him looking like that.
-He's cute. -[all] Aww!
Aww!
I think that's unfair 'cause that's when I had my first child.
And I had just given birth.
-But you look beautiful. -[Loujain] No makeup.
-So beautiful without makeup. -Thank you, sweetheart.
-But… -That was pregnancy! Oh my God!
-Who's this? -Me! That's my pregnancy pictures!
I had… big cheeks.
[laughing] It was clear that I was pregnant.
And I had a bit of a tan 'cause I think it was in the summer.
-Who is that? -[Zeina] Jwana!
-Right? -I love this picture.
I love it too.
-Excuse me. -[Jwana] What do you want, dear?
-What's your name? -Jwana Karim, habibi.
[laughing]
If you please.
I'm beautiful, and I always will be.
-[Mona] Safa. So cute. -The same. These are from our wedding.
-[all] Aww! -[Ebraheem] Oh no! No!
[Jwana] You were handsome.
[all] Aww.
You look beautiful.
I looked young and fresh, and I think I looked pretty.
I think I looked pretty.
[all] Aww! Cute!
-[Mahira] Go ahead, Ebraheem. -We can skip the last one.
-Let's go, Ebraheem. -[laughs] Let's see.
[Zeina] Who is that?
Who is that?
[Hanna] Look who's talking.
[all laughing]
[Marwan] It was a good game
to see what people looked like before and what they look like now.
But the real game we need to play over here
is the two-face game.
The people who have one face right now and another face when they go home.
That's the game I want to play.
I believe that we all aged better.
We all, uh, became more mature.
I don't know about that.
-[Farhana] Yeah. -[chuckles]
[laughs]
This is a lesson for all of us.
That if we want to remain healthy and happy,
that we need to find peace within our hearts
and to kind of let things go.
Bravo. I love this. Whoo!
[laughs]
Well said, Ebraheem.
At the end of the day, we're all, like, young at heart.
We evolve through life, and we grow, and so does everybody around us.
So, be kind.
I like that whole idea of letting it go.
-No. -We should let everything go.
Everything.
I don't care anymore.
I remember once you said you would never say no to me, right?
-Yeah, but don't use it, huh? -[laughing] What?
I'm organizing an event for my fragrance launch.
I'm really hoping that during this event, I can find the right moment
to put LJ and Jwana together.
So, fingers crossed. [chuckles]
[pop music playing]
♪ Oh whoa! Let's turn it up And get it in ♪
♪ Yeah, yeah! Let's turn it up and get it in ♪
[Ebraheem] We started preparing the panel, with the doctor, the scientist,
to talk about the product and the overall rejuvenation process.
First of all, I wanna thank everyone for coming out here.
We have, uh, a new technology
that basically, you're able to make yourself ten years younger.
The product we're launching today
is a natural supplement called NMN, which makes you look ten years younger.
Does NMN make you use less Botox and fillers?
-Yes. -Yeah.
I hope it really makes me ten years younger,
and I have to maybe look for a younger husband.
But today, I am the company.
-[Zeina] You are. -Today.
-You are. -[laughing]
[laughing]
He is his own company.
Finally, I felt for the first time,
he understood the concept of I Am The Company.
I'm proud of you, Ebraheem.
Being your mother,
I'm your number one supporter,
and don't forget, I'm your first love.
[Zeina laughs]
I feel that it's strange that Ebraheem doesn't bring his wife.
I feel sad that she's not joining us on these moments.
-[pop music playing] -♪ Nothing can stop me… ♪
What do you think about the event so far?
[laughing]
We ruin every event we attend.
-It's a vicious cycle that does not end. -Mahira.
-How do we end-- -Who started the cycle?
But she says them. They say her.
-We all know they started. -They started it. Everyone knows that.
Who's everyone?
I don't believe that someone could be wrong 100% or right 100%.
Everyone should be held responsible.
Mahira, tell them to stop bothering Farhana. Leave her alone.
You can't force a friendship.
I don't want to be friends with them. Let them be far away from me.
Keep doing it, Farhana. You want to talk shit?
-I'll talk in front of your face. -[Zeina] Be ready.
While I was passing through the corridor,
I see Farhana standing in front of me and talking about me.
-Who are you? -[Zeina] Who am I?
-Arrogant. Mean. -[Zeina] Exactly.
-Am I? And what are you? -[Farhana] That's who you are.
I'm Farhana, who you guys like to put down.
You know, let's put her down in front of the world because she's rolling so high.
We can't see that. We can't see her get collaboration that we don't.
Okay.
-You talk about people bringing you down? -Oh.
-You are bringing me down. -What are you trying to do?
-She doesn't listen! She doesn't listen. -Okay, okay, okay.
This is why you find yourself in this situation.
-Calm down. -[Zeina] You do not listen.
She doesn't want to listen.
If it makes her feel better to think that we are jealous of her,
uh, let it be.
She started asking, "Where does Zeina have this car from?"
"Did she pay for it? Did her husband pay for it?"
Jwana, did I ask you, "How did Zeina afford the…"
I didn't say about affording.
"I want to ask where she got the car."
-Okay, first, talk in a calmer way. -This is my main problem with her.
It's fine! It's a car!
You should just take it and give it to Aydin.
-She always tries to put women down. -How am I putting you down?
Bringing out the car in front of everyone was not nice. You admit to that?
-It was me and her on the side. -Babe, it was a joke!
-Come on, wait, Zeina. -No, Jwana.
Babe, babe, listen.
Not to retaliate, not to have an answer. Listen to understand.
Listening does not mean that you are weak.
-[Zeina] Farhana, stop doing this. -No.
-She calls each and every one of us… -No, I didn't call.
-Let her finish. -[Farhana] Okay.
…to comment on certain things that are none of her business.
Farhana keeps sticking her nose where she shouldn't.
So she shouldn't say, "Oh no! You told me off."
I told you off because you started it.
Well…
You need to work hard and smart.
I work more smarter than you, darling.
-Bravo. -Okay, relax. You all are hard workers.
There's no point arguing with Farhana.
She doesn't really listen.
Sit here with yourself then. Keep talking to yourself and we'll leave.
You keep going in circles in everything. This is in your friendship.
In your relationship with your ex, with your friends.
You can't. This needs to be cleared.
[Danya] Yeah.
Farhana needs to just deal with her emotions head-on.
It will help her with her personal life,
with her friendship, with her work, with everything.
[Ebraheem] At the start of the event, I was a bit sad.
But thank God, I'm happy.
Now I can continue my project as I dreamt of it.
[Arabic music playing]
[man singing in Arabic]
[Safa] With all these health problems that Fahad is having,
I was able to convince him to go to a bariatric surgeon.
Hello, doctor. How are you?
-Hello, how are you? -[Safa] All good.
[Fahad] The reports came in the other day when I went to the GP.
My cholesterol levels were high,
and my GGT level was very high.
My insulin resistance was very high.
So Safa thought it will be a good idea to go see a bariatric surgeon.
-Thank you. Have a seat. -We heard so much about you, doctor.
-Thank you very much. -Iraqi doctors are different.
Thank you so much.
Listen, doctor. I'm very worried about him.
For a while, he's been, uh,
having problems, feeling dizzy and tired and in pain.
He's not taking this seriously.
And honestly, doctor, we need to come to a solution.
[doctor] So your weight is just under 120 kilograms.
You're in your late 30s.
And this is giving you a body mass index
of stage three out of four obesity.
So let's sign him up then, I think, for surgery because…
-I'm-- -Can I understand all the options?
Signing up straight for surgeries…
Let me understand. Let me understand everything, Safa.
I can't help but want to fix this,
this second.
I am trying as hard as I can
to make sure, God forbid, nothing happens to my husband.
It's scary.
You need three things. You need blood pressure
fat and sugar to block a vessel.
So, if it blocks in your heart, you'll have a heart attack.
If it blocks in your brain, you will have a stroke.
Are you listening?
-[laughs] -Stop laughing!
Why are you giving me this look?
And stop shouting.
You're not taking this seriously!
-Do you hear what the doctor is saying? -[sighs]
He cannot take this as a joke and be in denial.
He promised me forever.
So, Safa, you are with surgery?
-Yes, I need to do something! -I agree with you.
I don't want to do surgery.
One thing is hands down for sure.
I'm not doing a surgery. Nothing invasive.
After everything he's telling you, Fahad?
You don't give a shit about that he said you're gonna have a borderline stroke!
Can you calm down?
-I'm not having a stroke. I'm just-- -Your blood is going to clot.
What do you want from me? To sit and watch this happen?
-Can you take this seriously? -I am taking it seriously. I am!
Can you not-- Can you calm down first?
I've had enough. This has been ongoing.
I need a solution, Fahad. Wake up.
This is your life.
Don't you fear for your life?
Are you not scared?
He is, obviously. That's why he's here, Safa.
If I didn't care, I wouldn't have done the test.
Exactly. Exactly.
I got this test done.
It's because of an obvious concern.
I know better now.
Okay, doctor. I need to come to a solution.
How much is a healthy amount,
a realistic amount for him to lose in two months?
As in with diet and exercise?
About eight to ten kilos.
-I need a commitment. -[Fahad] Okay, today is…
Wait, hang on. Wait.
-[doctor] Write it. -I will.
I literally had to write on a pen and paper,
because I need a commitment.
I need a promise, and you're going to sign on this promise,
that you're taking this seriously.
-How much is healthy for one week? -One to two kilos.
Two kgs.
[doctor] Let him sign it.
I'll let him sign. So I'll show it to him.
-We'll see. -[Safa] Sign.
Safa, she should believe me just saying that I'll do it.
If that gives her assurances and validates her feelings, then fine.
[doctor] Huh.
-Yeah! -[doctor] It's finally done.
Fahad can finally see how much this is affecting us
and how serious this is.
I'm here to support him. I'm here to help him.
So if he can lose those kilos, then great.
If not, then it's going to have to be surgery.
We have to fix this.
-[pop music playing] -[vocalizing]
Tonight, we are celebrating my Oudgasm fragrance event.
I've invited everybody I could possibly think about to this event.
[singing in Arabic]
I think it's incredibly important that I'm there,
and I'm supportive as her husband
and also push her forward.
Tonight, my mother and I are going to support Mona Kattan.
-[mother] Hello. -Oh my God, sweetheart!
-So good to see you. Thanks for making it. -Nice to see you too.
Darling, how are you?
My cutie pie. I love this look.
-[Zeina] Habibi. -Hi, baby!
-Happy to be here. -How are you?
Aww, I'm so happy to see you.
-Congratulations. I'm so happy for you. -Thank you, angel.
After everything we've been through,
I have organized a retreat to go release the tension.
I invited everyone, including Farhana,
because she blew it out of proportion and caused drama.
And knowing Farhana, she would probably come.
Hi! How are you? I'm so excited you made it.
-Congratulations. -Where's Danya?
-She's not feeling well. -No!
Is it, like, she's under the weather, or she's just frustrated?
I don't know. Maybe a little bit of both.
-Really? Oh no! -[Marwan] Yeah.
Danya always has a tough pregnancy,
and we haven't told anyone yet.
But everyone asks me the same question.
Where is Danya?
-[Ebraheem] No, I don't know. -[Jwana] It turns out you…
After what happened at Roz's lunch,
all the group, their behavior has changed with me.
[shouts]
LJ, I'm so happy to see you, baby.
-So happy to be here. -So happy you came.
-Congratulations. -Thank you for being with us.
I'm excited for this weekend.
The retreat.
You're coming, right?
Oh no.
Babe, you have to come.
I was planning to put LJ and Jwana together at my event,
but since there's a lot of people, I couldn't resolve the situation.
I hope LJ comes to the retreat because hopefully,
it could be a great moment for her and Jwana
to start a new chapter.
I don't know. Like, as there's a lot of, you know, tension in the group.
And in a way, after an hour, they were, like, ganging up against me
with what happened with Jwana.
I really don't feel like, you know, I can spend, like, a staycation with them.
We're all going to be there, bonding, relaxing.
-I'll think about it. -I think you should come.
I can't give an answer now.
And I think it's a great time for us
to just try and, like, resolve everything.
You know, we all need this.
-It's the best. -I will think about it.
I still haven't made up my mind about going.
Um, I'll think about it.
Maybe I'll come for one night. Maybe.
-Why is Danya not here? -She's not feeling well.
What's wrong?
She's just been sick. She's not going to be doing anything for, like, a week.
Whoa.
Yeah.
Is she okay?
[whispers] She's not pregnant? She's not pregnant?
-No. -[Farhana] Bliss.
Ay-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi! [sighs]
-Bliss! -No.
-What is it? -I think she's pregnant.
-No! No! -Danya? Maybe.
Do you know how hard it is to keep a secret
like your wife being pregnant?
I wish I could tell Farhana right now,
but I can't tell anyone because we're going to tell everyone together.
I'll tell you, I was eating fish in front of her.
-She said, "I can't handle the smell." -[laughing]
-Maybe she's pregnant. -I always eat fish in front of her.
Exactly.
Okay, something is cooking here.
Okay, Zeina, can you tell us what's going to happen in the retreat?
So, there's a lot of fun activities.
There's sports. There's kayaking.
I'll send an itinerary. I have planned a few things.
Zeina's doing this retreat
just to make herself look good in front of everyone.
I find it so awkward that she would invite me,
after what happened at Ebraheem's event.
I want to ask you why did you invite me to the event
after everything that happened?
So, I thought it would be nice of me to just ask Zeina personally
and directly why she invited me.
I need to know.
I invited you to the event because I thought about it later.
I didn't want things to escalate
to where things are taken to another level, and then time passes by.
You walk into a room, and you don't say "hi," and I walk into a room,
and then we talk about each other behind our backs and all of this.
That's why I thought, "Okay, we all need time to relax,
to have a retreat, to detox."
The retreat is for us to go there, let go of negativity.
Maybe we'd have a change of heart.
And I feel like Farhana is someone who needs to do that.
-We're all getting along. -Let's chill.
-Let's all chill out. Let's hug. -Stop it.
-[Marwan] Can we group hug, please? -Take this weekend for us to…
-Oh my God, your outfit. -[Jwana] Oh, your outfit. Oh my God!
After the talk with Zeina,
I'm still not convinced if she's being genuine or not.
However, I'm considering to go,
only because of the rest of the friends I have in the group.
All right, guys, I just want to say thank you so much
for being with us here tonight.
Your support means the world to me.
And, you know, fragrances are all about making new memories
and new chapters.
Thank you so much. [laughs]
[Ebraheem] We love you, Mona!
Love you guys. [laughs]
Thank you so much.
Now it's time to turn up and have a good time. Love you guys.
-[crowd cheering] -[laughs] Thank you. Thank you so much.
[dance music playing]
[Mona] The night was so fun.
It was extremely exciting,
a bit overwhelming.
It was really a night of love and celebration.
-[cheering] -[shouting]
[pop music playing]
[Farhana] Today, Mahira is joining me to meet Heroies' dad,
and, um, I want to talk to him about the situation,
about how Heroies wants me
to let Aydin spend time with him and his girlfriend.
And I hope that his father would be understanding.
-[laughs] I'm coming as your lawyer today. -[laughs] I know.
-That's a business meeting for me. -My unpaid lawyer. Mahira.
Farhana asked me to join, to see her ex-stepfather-in-law
and see how things can be resolved.
-You think he's gonna be a good mediator? -Let's hope so.
[Mahira] Inshallah.
I hope we can reach a final solution
because I really tried as much as I could, but she's stubborn.
Today, we're going for lunch with my dad and Farhana. Uh…
My dad doesn't live here.
He's come after about six, seven years, so…
Let's see someone flying all the way from another country.
Let's hope that helps fix this one final time.
-Hello. -Hi, how are you?
-Hi. How are you? -Good to see you.
-How are you? -Good. Thank you.
[father] How are you, Farhana?
[Farhana] I respect Heroies' dad.
Even though we didn't spend so much time together as a family,
I've always had that level of respect for him.
How's Aydin with you? [laughs]
-He's fantastic. -Sweet.
Haven't seen him for a long time.
We're obviously here to try and mediate
between these two lovely ex-couple,
to co-parent.
I didn't have to be here for this,
because you both are grown-up people.
Both of you should allow each other to breathe.
Let the child breathe. I'll be very honest with you, Farhana.
I like you, and I see where you come up from,
and you have come up great on your own.
You have tremendous ability.
So there's no point in getting into this rabbit hole.
My father is really proud of what Farhana's achieved.
And let's be honest, I'm proud of what she's achieved as well.
But the goal is to focus on Aydin,
not on who I'm with, who she's with.
I don't think that matters, right?
Her main concern is
when Aydin goes with his father, there is one particular person,
she doesn't want her to have influence over him
or become close to him.
Just to put her at ease.
-[father] Okay. -Even at the beginning. Where can we--
'Cause we keep just going back to this specific point.
Okay, what gives you the right to say
that it is going to be this way, not that way?
I'm the mother.
[Mahira] Farhana, if you keep stating
that you are the only one who has rights as a mother,
it's not right. He's the father.
Farhana insists on something that's not logical.
Okay, you're a mother who has to protect her child.
But there are limits. He's also a father.
Just like you, he has rights and responsibilities.
I think you should hear my side of the story.
-Yeah, of course. -So, basically.
The way he left, okay? It's okay he left.
Actually, he did me a favor because I'm so much happier.
I'm living my best life.
But the way he left and this woman,
the manipulations, the way she spoke…
This is not the woman I want my son around.
No, no, no, but that's a lie. I'm serious. No, that's a lie.
I'm talking to your dad. Let me talk to your dad.
-Don't shout in front of my dad. -Please.
Don't shout in front of my dad.
[Farhana] I'm not being spiteful,
but I don't want my child thinking he has two moms, and…
I'm sure many moms were able to relate to my situation.
He finds someone he likes, okay? And he wants to be with her.
Now you have this child here.
What are you going to do? Fight about it?
Saying, "He says he doesn't go there." You say, "He doesn't come here."
You think that is very conducive or good for the child?
You answer that question now.
[Farhana] I understand this. Had it been someone else…
There is a history behind this woman.
[Mahira] Farhana, can you stop making judgment about his girlfriend?
It's none of your business who he's dating. I'm sorry.
This person, I have never met her.
Okay?
First time I met her, a day or two ago. Yeah.
She's a nice person.
[sighs] Okay.
[father] My ex-wife met my wife, and then they spoke to each other,
and it was all fine.
[Farhana] I realized that I cannot control everything,
and that I got to let go of some things from the past
and move on.
Maybe I will meet her and decide.
Maybe if I meet the woman
and let me feel the energies,
let me see how she is,
you know, because letting my son be in her space and in her energy
is a very, very big decision for me.
[father] And you know what? That could be the right thing to do.
You're okay with Farhana just comes and meets her?
Anything for Aydin. If anything solves the problem, I'll do that.
If and truly if Farhana means
that she would like to sit down with my other half
and find a way to make it better for Aydin, I'm ready.
So yeah, I'm… I think I'm…
I'll give it a shot. Let's see what she says.
[Mahira] As long as you go with an open mind,
you put your egos on the side.
-No past luggage going with you. -Fine, fine.
I thought about everything,
and I decided that okay, maybe if I meet the woman
to see what she's really like, because I've never met her.
-Same thing with you, please. -Fine.
No sarcasm. No firing her,
you know, pushing her buttons.
-Let's try and keep it civil and calm. -Okay.
[Heroies] I'm hoping that this talk leads somewhere.
We've all made mistakes, and this is what it is,
and I think it's time we grow up and stop acting like kids.
[Arabic music playing]
[woman singing in Arabic]
[Zeina] Today, we're going to the retreat.
Hanna and I arrived at the resort in an area called Ajman,
on the beach.
There's a lot of greenery.
Wow! This is a suitable place to detox this group.
Hi, guys.
What's up?
-What's up with you? -Nice place you chose, huh?
-It's nice, huh? -Stunning! I'm so excited.
This circle of friends needs more than a retreat,
but this is a good start.
-Let's see who's coming. -I know for sure Farhana will come.
She's not going to miss it. FOMO will kill her.
[laughs]
-She said she's coming. Let's see. -[laughing]
-[pop music playing] -♪ I wanna shine ♪
♪ Just need a spark from somewhere To light up the night ♪
After giving it a thought, I decided that I'll go to the retreat.
Why not? I'm in the zen mode right now,
in a very calm mood. So, I'm really excited.
-Hi, guys. How's it going? -Hey!
-Hi! -Hi!
-How are you, man? You good? -You good? Yeah, I'm good.
-Hi, Zeina. How are you? -[Zeina] Hi. How are you?
Farhana arrived, and she was walking with Bliss.
I was like, "What?"
It's been more than once that Danya is not attending our events.
-Where's Danya? -[Marwan] She had something to do.
She said she's gonna try.
-Anything we should be worried about? -No, no, no, no.
Are you sure she's not pregnant?
-Oh God, we had this conversation already. -Because I'm suspicious now.
I think Danya's pregnant.
I really have this strong, strong feeling,
but he doesn't want to tell me.
But I know my gut feeling cannot be wrong.
-I'll call her. You want me to call now? -Yeah, call her.
[line ringing]
Hey, I'm here with Safa, Zeina, Fahad, Hanna and Farhana,
and they keep asking why you're not coming.
I told them you're not feeling well.
-[Danya] I'm good. -[Mona] Hi, how are you?
-So cute. -Are you okay?
No, I'm not okay.
I'm just going through, like, a personal medical thing
that I can't really, like, openly talk about right now.
But, um… But yeah. That's what I'm going through right now.
I hope it's nothing serious.
Inshallah, I, like… I can figure it out with medication.
Everything will be fine.
[Mona] I arrived while they were talking to Danya.
I'm starting to get really worried, and I just hope she's okay.
-Hey, how are you? -How are you?
-Good morning. -[Danya] Like, inshallah, I'll get better.
All right, I love you. We'll talk to you soon.
-You take care. -What's happening with Danya?
-She's sick. -[Marwan] Yeah.
I don't know when Danya will tell everyone she's pregnant.
It's a serious matter now. People started to worry.
-Hi! -Hi!
-How are you? -[Mahira] I'm good.
-You guys, Salem's here. -[Hanna] Hello.
Hello.
I've been away from the group for some time.
I was a bit busy, and I missed many of their events.
So I missed the group and wanted to be with them during this time.
Thank you, everyone, for coming.
Uh, just for the record, everyone in the group
received an invitation.
To be honest, a few people, I'm not sure if they are going to come or not.
-I'm not sure. Is LJ coming? -[Farhana] LJ's not coming.
-She's not? -[Safa] Jwana's coming, right?
[Farhana] Jwana, I think, is on the way.
I did my best at my event to try and convince LJ to come join us.
So, I really hope she shows up today.
-Our group is complicated. -It's really good. [laughs]
Yeah.
We've had a lot of ups and downs.
I wanted us to take this retreat
as an opportunity for us to relax, chill.
So, girls, I've arranged for us,
after you check in and you get comfortable,
we're gonna go kayaking.
Hanna has arranged a golf session with the guys.
Boring.
[laughing]
-[Zeina] You wanna come with us? -I want to come with you guys. Yeah.
-Come on! No! -[Zeina] Okay, we'll check.
Come on, all day long, are they just like this?
Ebraheem, he wants to go kayaking with the girls.
This is a great chance to stay away from the drama
and to have a good time with the boys together.
[Zeina] We'll have a lot of fun.
[all] Cheers!
Time to rest up and let's get ready for kayaking with the girls
and Ebraheem.
["Hot Summer" by Lana McDonagh playing]
[vocalizing]
After unpacking and relaxing, now it's time for our activities.
♪ Hot summer, hot, hot summer ♪
[man] We need a couple of life jackets on you. A couple of life jackets on you.
Here you go.
[Jwana] I arrived at the retreat a little late.
I caught up to them.
The first thing they were doing was kayaking.
-Hello. I'm here! -[cheering]
-Ebraheem. -[Ebraheem] Yeah.
Where's Danya? Why do you think she's been missing out on everything?
After hearing Bliss on the phone with Danya
and her mentioning her health problems,
like, we're all really worried about her. I just want to know what's going on.
[Ebraheem] Everyone was asking the same question.
Where's Danya?
So, I was tired.
Because it was really a burden I wanted off my chest.
Danya's pregnant.
[all] What?
-[Ebraheem] Whoo! -[Mona] What?
[Mahira] To be honest, I was shocked.
In our culture,
even the husband shouldn't announce the pregnancy.
The wife. She's the one who's pregnant.
[Farhana] I was right. I was right.
For the first time, Farhana was right.
[Farhana] Oh my God!
My gut feeling was right.
She's pregnant.
So that's what it's been.
Guys, don't tell anyone. I'm tired of hearing, "Where's Danya?"
Enough! Eat my head.
I made a promise to Danya, and I broke the promise.
I felt guilty, but I also felt light.
But don't say I said anything because they're going to be mad at me.
Let's go. [chuckles]
[pop music playing]
[Jwana] The atmosphere is nice.
It's nice to be away from pressure, from problems.
It's really good, honestly.
[howls]
[Hanna] The girls went kayaking.
And I took, uh, the boys to play golf.
[Marwan] Finally, some peace.
Wasn't there supposed to be one more ball for Ebraheem?
Yes, but he decided to go hang out with the girls.
Ebraheem betrayed us and joined the girls.
By the way, this is the first time for me to play golf.
-Golf? -Yeah.
Actually, it's a great sport.
It teaches you a lot about patience,
and you have your own time, own space, and golf is a place where--
I'm used to something, like, you know, bikes, Harleys, you know…
-[Hanna] You're rough. -Yeah, rough, yes.
[Marwan] I love Salem.
He's like the big brother.
He just wants the best for everyone.
All right, let's try.
[Hanna] Oh, not bad!
We get three shots.
-Oh! [laughs] -[Marwan] That's a good one.
[Hanna] Come on, baby!
Just guys having fun.
Life is great.
[Salem] I know that Fahad has to take care of his health a bit more,
so I wanted to give him some advice and talk about it.
Look, Fahad, Safa came to me and she told me,
"Salem, I really want Fahad to take care of his health,
and I'm really worried about him."
Because we are in the same exact situation.
We work so hard and everything, and we forget what's more important.
You know, your kids, your family, your…
I mean, your close ones, your loved ones.
You need to change every single thing that you have in your life
and take care of yourself.
You have to take care of your health. You have to take care of…
Take it very seriously, Fahad.
I know that sometimes we say, "It's okay. We manage."
-I don't know, for me, my habits are bad. -"We will shift."
-Yeah, that's what I'm saying. -My lifestyle, my sleep, my food.
The GP told her that, uh,
if his blood pressure is at this stage, he might have a heart attack or a stroke.
I'm telling you.
[Hanna] Safa is worried.
-But he's doing a good job. -Amazing.
[Fahad] Safa is worried about me, and she wants for me
to live a healthier lifestyle,
but she shouldn't be feeling scared about this.
I am going to start working on it soon.
You know, guys, I went through a big change for me and my health.
First, you have to listen to your body.
Like, being happy, I think, is the most important thing.
Uh, feeling love, surrounding yourself with family and whatever, then gratitude.
Like, those three things that I worked on immediately changed my whole--
-Changed, definitely. -My body started going into…
getting healthier.
You know, I relate because my father had a stroke.
I understand.
It's pretty serious, and he needs to take care of his health.
The most important thing in your life is what? Your wife and your kids.
When this happened, that's what also scared me. I prepared a will, in case.
-[Salem] Really? -[Fahad] Yeah.
I believe that since I have two young daughters,
if anything happens to me,
they need to be taken care of for the rest of their lives,
with me being there or not being there.
I want them to be the beneficiary for everything that I have.
Nobody is born with an expiry date.
You don't know. Tomorrow, I'll be walking out, a car could hit me.
Lightning could strike. Could kill me. Anything.
So, it's good to have this because at the end of the day,
what's all this for?
Your family, your kids, your wife.
Whatever you're able to control in your hand, we control that.
I agree. I've made those big changes. I've never eaten salad in my life.
[Salem] In our culture and traditions,
we usually don't encourage writing the will before death
because you don't know who will be the beneficiary
and who will be responsible for the house.
Yo, this conversation is, like, making me sad.
Can we talk about something more happy?
I've got something planned for everyone.
I'm feeling good vibes.
Since I came back from Kenya, it's all been about positive vibes.
I thought this was time to play a game.
It's a fun, cool game happening in my room.
I need you all to come, and I need you all to bring your wives.
-Nice. [laughs] -We're going to play this game at my room.
-It's gonna be fun. Trust me. -[Salem] Okay.
The vibe is super cool.
I thought it's a great opportunity to tell the boys about my plan tonight.
You're not gonna tell us?
-Secret? Okay. -I don't wanna spoil-- It's team building.
-That's what we need, right? -All right.
This game might really change this whole group for the good.
[Hanna] I am super excited for Bliss' game.
I hope there is no drama.
Awesome day, guys. Thank you so much.

[indistinct conversations]
[laughs]
I've invited everyone over to my villa,
'cause I want everyone to come, chill, relax.
But no one knows what they're here to do today.
You guys are probably wondering why I invited you all here to my villa today.
First of all, I want to thank Zeina for putting this retreat together for us
and also starting the retreat with a great speech.
Thank you for coming. I'm happy you enjoyed it.
Before we start, let me tell you what we're doing here.
So if you guys start passing these around,
I want everyone to write whatever is in their hearts.
So, if there's something you always wanted to say
and just felt like you couldn't.
You felt misunderstood. This is your opportunity to do it.
I came up with this idea because I felt like,
someone needs to bring this group a little closer together.
I don't have anything actually.
I don't have anything either. Maybe can you start so we get motivated?
-Okay, I can go first. -[Zeina] Okay.
Me and Ebraheem have been bumping heads for a little while.
Even though we're still good friends,
and then obviously, his friendship with Danya as well,
has been a huge part of my life too.
I think Ebraheem, you probably know, and you felt this,
so I just wanna say it in front of everybody.
I feel like sometimes you cross the boundaries
where you are trusted with secrets,
and you hurt me sometimes.
Obviously, I do trust you, and I hope that you consider that,
and I hope that we continue to build our friendship based on trust.
That was beautiful. I like that you're vulnerable.
-Yeah, that was really nice. -[Marwan] Thank you.
Today, when DJ Bliss sent me the first message,
I was worried he knew what I said about Danya being pregnant.
I have to admit, what I did was wrong.
-Ready? -Okay.
[Ebraheem] Marwan…
[laughing]
That's it.
[hums dramatically]
Guilty.
Ebraheem is guilty.
This is Ebraheem, a roller coaster always.
[Ebraheem] I swear to God,
I have a lot of brothers, but you're a brother that I've dreamed for.
You know, and I never want to disappoint you,
and I can't keep it on my chest.
[laughs] But I told everyone that Danya was pregnant.
-I'm sorry. -You're joking, right?
I'm serious. [laughs]
-Don't… Don't be mad. -[Zeina] Oh my God!
Honestly, no comment.
-You're kidding. -[laughing] I couldn't keep it.
Ebraheem, you have no right to share something this private
between a man and his wife with everyone.
I'm sorry. They just kept asking me.
We trained our surprise faces.
I took a look at Marwan,
and I saw his mood change completely.
I'm sorry.
He has done this to my pregnant wife, who is at home sick right now.
Ebraheem, stay away from my family.
-Congratulations! -[cheering]
[ululating]
You asked for the truth, and I said the truth. This was your idea.
Have I not told you to keep your mouth shut about it?
-But they asked me. I told them. -[Marwan] Oh really?
Go jump in that pool. I asked.
You have a brain. You just don't use it.
[pop music playing]
[Loujain] I decided to go to the retreat for a little bit of time.
To be honest, after everything that's been happening
between me and Jwana,
I felt like now it was a good opportunity just to have this closure
and put things to an end.
-Hi! -Hi!
-How are you? -[Farhana] Good.
-[Zeina] Good, and you? -Good. Good.
[Mona] I am so happy to see LJ walk in,
and I really hope that her and Jwana can sit down together
and just put this all behind them.
-How is everyone? Hi. -Hi. Good, good.
[sighs] What's going on?
There's a bit of a problem.
What is this for? [chuckles]
This is a platform for you to say
whatever you like to somebody in this group
if you want to get something off your chest in a peaceful manner.
Okay.
I don't have a problem with anyone over here.
The problem that I had was with Jwana many years ago.
Oh, sorry, guys, I have to go.
I don't want anything from Loujain.
I just want her to stay away, so I chose to leave.
Should we check on her? I feel like we should go check on her.
We're gonna need four of us to bring her.
We'll try to convince Jwana to come back
and decide if she wants to listen to LJ or not.
In the end, it's our role to fix it.
-I don't want to talk to her. -You don't need to.
What should I say to her?
-[Mahira] You don't want to listen to her? -Listen to what?
I don't have the energy.
I can't talk to anyone, so I want to go to the villa.
[Loujain] Jwana left. She's avoiding me.
If she doesn't want to let go, I want to let go,
even if she doesn't want to face it.
I just wanted to clear my slate
and talk about the thing that has been on my chest,
and, um, I'm just…
I'm sorry things happened like this between me and Jwana.
I never meant to hurt her. I never want to hurt anyone.
Since Roz's lunch, I thought about everything that happened,
and I don't want to go to bed knowing there's someone hurt from me.
I'm not a dirty person like that.
I genuinely mean my apology,
even though she will not accept it.
I felt that LJ's apology was in the right place.
She sat with herself.
She analyzed what she did,
and she realized it's okay to find out that you were wrong.
That's all I have to say. Let's just be kind to one another.
Kindness, right?
What LJ did to Jwana is what you would do to your enemy.
I feel that LJ behaves in a certain way sometimes,
and then she becomes someone else completely.
It's just, you know, LJ, all due respect to you,
you sit like this and you say, "and you guys…" and this and that.
And then we all see. We all know another face.
It's just we're seeing someone on one way,
but in reality, we're seeing another person.
You cannot come and judge me.
-[Ebraheem] I'm seeing. I'm shocked. -I don't judge you.
You love to judge people.
-We're not judging each other over here. -I'm just shocked.
You know what? I don't hold grudges.
Guys, let's not put LJ on the spot.
We're having a peaceful night. We're talking about positive things.
It makes me so happy.
LJ just coming to apologize to Jwana was, like, a big move.
So then for us to kind of go around
and share what we don't like about her, it's just not the right time and place.
[Marwan] I have to leave.
-You're more than welcome to stay here. -[Mona] Are you going to leave us?
Have fun and I'll see you guys at breakfast tomorrow.
-[Farhana] See you. Bye. -[Mona] Bye.
[Marwan] Now, I've just heard enough.
There was a lot of tension. Everyone's attacking poor LJ.
It's time for me to get out of here. I'm out.
[LJ] I said what I had to say, but the way they reacted back at me,
it's, like, so defensive.
I'm going to take myself and leave because this is not right.
After everyone left,
I felt like I needed someone to talk to, to calm down.
Because I was so angry.
I was so upset.
In everything inside of me, I tried my best not to cry.
I really feel I'm in a crossroad.
Danya is my bestie, but I don't want her--
I don't want me to have a problem with Bliss.
Yeah.
I feel a little bit worried about the relationship
between me and DJ Bliss.
-Today, this all wasn't necessary. -Hmm.
Like, I'm already having problems with my wife and now with my bestie.
I just feel like my world is collapsing.
The situation is really bad with Hamdah.
I wake up every morning. It's getting worse.
And Bliss broke my heart even more.
He shocked me. I didn't expect this from my brother.
I think it was the way the news was delivered was a bit surprising.
-I think that's what it was about. -He asked for truth.
I know, but you know what I think? Maybe in retrospect,
maybe this wasn't the best place to share the news.
The timing was wrong, and the delivery was wrong, you know?
I think if Ebraheem would have shared it privately,
I think that Bliss' reaction would be very different.
You know something? I could have easily escalated this.
-You're good at escalating. [laughs] -Yes.
If he doesn't fix this,
it's enough for me to say, to close the door,
because I believe I deserve better.
You're an amazing friend, and I'm sure tomorrow things will settle,
and you guys will be okay.
-Hopefully, stronger than ever. -Inshallah. Inshallah.
-[Mona] I'm here for you. -Thank you.
I am worried about Bliss and Ebraheem's friendship,
and I really want them to resolve this as soon as possible
and don't let this grow into something that doesn't need to happen.
-Thank you. -I love you.
[pop music playing]
[Salem] A new day.
It was all men, without women,
so I thought I'd invite them to breakfast at a restaurant outside the hotel
and to try to lighten the mood and clear the air.
-Good morning. -Good morning.
-Good morning. How are you? -[Hanna] I'm good. And you?
-[Ebraheem] Good morning. -Good morning.
-[Ebraheem] Good morning. -[Marwan] Good morning.
[sighs]
[Ebraheem] On this day, I came with good intentions.
I said "good morning" to everyone.
DJ Bliss started playing on his phone once he saw me.
I didn't raise my hand because he wasn't even looking at me.
From the start, I felt that the atmosphere was still electric.
So, guys, honestly, I'm really happy to have all of you here.
-As friends, as brothers. -Thank you.
Yesterday, what happened, honestly, I got really bothered.
Marwan, Ebraheem, I don't want to be preaching at you guys.
I know you're mature. I know you're adults.
You should clear it up, guys.
Thank you, Salem. That was a very nice way to put it,
and I appreciate the kind words,
and I completely understand where you're coming from,
but I have nothing to say.
I love Salem's advice, but…
for me, Ebraheem looks like he hasn't done anything wrong at all.
We all know how close you guys are. You have a history together.
And I'm sure there is always a way to resolve things.
I don't think anything came maliciously from either side.
You're happy for someone, and in the excitement, you say something…
[Salem] I think the same thing. It was out of love.
Out of love.
Well, isn't this ironic?
The people that you've had it in with
are sitting here giving you advice about life, Ebraheem.
These men over here
are trying to make excuses for what Ebraheem did.
It almost sounds like they're sticking up for him.
He keeps saying that, "Why are you close to that person?"
"You had it with them."
He expects me to hate Safa because she said that he rents cars.
He expects me to hate Zeina 'cause I had an issue.
What do you want me to do?
You're really bringing this up right now?
No, because you're like, it's ironic that three people I had…
-What's my issue with Salem? -You fought with him in AlUla.
What do you want?
What happened with Salem in AlUla,
because I was defending his wife.
How can you forget?
Are you-- I think you're delusional.
This is the third time you're trying to destroy my character.
-The third time. -I forgot.
[Ebraheem] You did it in the barber shop.
When you know that I was invited to the bowling by Danya.
-Stop trying to attack my character. -Why do you think-- Why do you think--
Bliss, you will regret the second
that you thought you could try and hurt me.
Just because you're a loser, you think I'm a fuckin' loser.
[Hanna] Guys.
-You piece of shit. -[Fahad] No, no.
[Marwan] Who the fuck do you think you are?
-Hit me in the face?! -[Hanna] No, guys, stop it!
-Guys! -[Ebraheem] Hit me in the face?!
[Hanna] Guys! Ebraheem!
