EBRAHEEM AL SAMADI
MARWAN AL-AWADHI
I was shocked.
I didn't expect this to happen.
Calm down, Bliss.
Can jealousy go that far?
My brother trying to hurt me?
He broke my heart.
FAHAD SIDDIQUI
Don't go back there.
Ebraheem, leave it on your eye.
Every action has a reaction.
Marwan's reaction was caused by Ebraheem's action.
Seeing that unfold,
I remembered every word I told them.
It's over.
Thank God it stopped there.
Let's see what happens at the hospital.
Marwan, neither you nor a thousand men like you
are a match for Ebraheem Al Samadi.
So, it got to a point where he has to harm my face.
Marwan wanted to apologize to Ebraheem,
but I stopped him because I was worried it would escalate.
Marwan was upset, and I felt he regretted his behavior.
Sit down. Just come with me. Sit down, buddy.
Marwan, sit down. Relax.
DUBAI BLING
DANYA MOHAMMED
Because I've already said everything to him.
If I ask him not to tell anyone,
I didn't expect this from Ebraheem at all.
I mean, that's so rude.
He's not sane.
Not at all.
It's the last day of the retreat.
To end this hectic weekend,
I decided to invite the group
to lunch on the beach.
After what happened at breakfast,
we took Ebraheem to the hospital.
Bliss and Salem left early. They couldn't join us for lunch.
MONA KATTAN
Where are they? Are they not coming?
Hanna and Fahad told Safa and me what happened
during their breakfast with Bliss and Ebraheem this morning.
FARHANA BODI
Did they at least make up today or what?
-How are you? -I'm good. How are you?
-How is it going? -I'm good.
No, what happened?
Ebraheem arrived, and I felt that something happened, so…
So, I got angry.
Excuse me?
All this because of what happened yesterday?
I mean, you've been bottling this up inside of you?
Ebraheem felt like he was attacked, and he's injured.
He's talking out of frustration and anger.
SAFA SIDDIQUI
I'm not excited to tell her my side of the story.
I'm positive she'll take my side.
But, Ebraheem, you can't always cause a scene out of everything. I mean…
-You have to defuse it. -I tried to defuse…
I defused the situation yesterday.
Send her a message and tell her, "I swear I didn’t do anything."
Okay, Ebraheem, can you call her?
Danya didn't pick up.
I want to talk to her and calm her down,
and tell her everything is fine,
and not to worry,
and that we're like family.
That's what I wanted to say, but she didn't let me.
The damage is done. That’s the issue.
It's not about hate.
It's about the pain that lingers after all is said and done.
I've been through what he's going through.
Just like my issue with Loujain.
The fights are stupid,
but what you're fighting about is not stupid.
I mean, honestly, yesterday after I left,
I mean, I don't know what happened.
I left because I was really upset,
not because she was there.
I got upset because I love her.
-I feel like you've forgiven her. -I've forgiven her. Trust me.
You can cut ties with someone, but you can't make yourself hate them.
But she put herself and she put me in this situation.
Why is betrayal so easy for some people? Nothing is worth it.
Worth doesn't come from money.
Money never made someone. We make the money.
So, don't get swept up by it.
If you want peace, find it within. Work on yourself.
-That's true. -From within.
Money doesn’t define a person for me.
It’s character that matters.
People's personality on the inside is what I care about.
Girls, I want to invite you to a pajama gathering.
It's only for the ladies.
-Is there a pillow fight? -Of course.
-Okay. -I'll send you some pajamas.
Thank God.
This retreat is over.
I thought we have to do this retreat
to make sure that we clear the air and people make up,
but it didn't work out as I planned.
With all the group drama going on,
I wanted to step away.
Because it doesn’t represent who I am.
I make a lot of mistakes.
So, I want you to know that we all learn from our mistakes.
What matters is that we improve ourselves.
I have a small surprise for you.
-How are you? Good? -Good.
It's my first time seeing Danya after hearing the good news,
regardless of how we knew.
I wanted to congratulate her.
Congrats.
Hello, dear. How are you?
-Good. -All good?
-Congrats. -Congrats.
It's okay, buddy.
God puts you in these situations to learn and move on. And life goes on.
Marwan is shaken and very upset,
because he's overwhelmed.
He's struggling to explain himself. There's anger and resentment.
Every story has two sides.
According to Bliss,
Ebraheem didn't just hit the table. No.
The story is totally different.
-I mean, you know how Ebraheem is. -But that's not right…
There's health. There's a child's life. A woman's life.
But that's not right.
I love Ebraheem,
but still, there are lines that shouldn't be crossed.
The basis for Bliss, Danya, and Ebraheem's friendship
is that Zeina is the enemy.
Ebraheem is crazy.
Let's wait for them to calm down and for things to cool off.
Then I'll see how I can fix things between the brothers.
HASSAN ELAMIN
After all the group drama,
the pajama night is exactly what we need.
I'm so excited that the girls are coming over.
I've prepared some caviar and feathers.
I can't wait for it, honestly.
Welcome.
Everyone knows if I throw an event,
it has to be perfect.
I'm so happy you came, honestly.
-I came for you, dear. -Really? Love you.
This is half of my collection.
The other half is at my other house in a different country.
I decided we’d go for a light snack.
I really love Safa.
That's it.
What happened with your man when we left?
He was really upset. I mean…
It's hard for men to cry.
When he cried, I was upset, honestly.
I mean, at home, he's cried a few times.
Might be the first time I see him cry.
-It's really hard for you as well. -Very.
You're caught between your husband and your best friend.
And you're pregnant, and your hormones are a mess already.
I put together a small surprise to lighten the mood a bit.
I figured I’d have them fight it out playfully.
We've never had a gathering without a fight.
We had a blast.
Today, it's just me and Ebraheem.
And I'm trying to figure out how to mend this friendship,
even though it was smashed to pieces.
-Hello, dear. -Hello.
-Welcome back. -Thank you.
-How are you? -I'm good.
How's everything?
-You okay? Sure? -Yeah.
Recently, I warned Ebraheem and Marwan,
but unfortunately, they brushed it off.
They thought I was lecturing them or just showing off my life experience.
But they both came to find out
that they've had bottled up issues
with each other for a long time.
Thankfully, it wasn't worse.
Ebraheem, you know me. I don't sugarcoat things.
A red flag came across, you know?
Because I could see that Marwan was upset but keeping it in.
So, I saw it. You thought I was joking.
That day, he told us,
I told him, "People should admit when they're wrong."
He knows me.
If someone comes at me, I hit back ten times harder.
Honestly, Bliss always blames me for his marital issues.
I want Bliss and Danya to understand that I try my best to save their relationship.
The whole situation was wrong, buddy.
It shouldn't have been aggressive like this.
No. All of us. Both of you, buddy.
-Salem, I… He-- -Both of you.
I got up from the table and I left.
-As you were leaving… -Okay.
…you threw everything at Hanna and Marwan. Everything.
Like this. You threw everything.
-Maybe I slipped, but I didn't-- -No.
Believe me. I swear to God, I'm not lying.
He reacted by throwing back what was thrown at him.
Haven't you seen yourself?
I felt that Ebraheem was confused.
I felt that Ebraheem didn't fully process what happened.
I made things perfectly clear for him.
He didn't apologize.
Like, "Sorry. I shouldn't have hit you with a plate in your head."
-He… No. -I swear I didn't hear him say it.
"What did I do?" I swear.
-Really? -I swear to God.
Salem is trying to calm me down.
He knows that saying this to me
will make me think twice.
He didn't work me up about it.
This is not your core, buddy.
How you acted with Hanna surprised me.
I thought, "What's up with Ebraheem?"
I've noticed that, lately, Ebraheem's arguments with anyone
end up with a physical fight.
It's clear as day he's dealing with personal issues.
Maybe things between him and his wife aren't great.
That could backfire if left unresolved,
and make you lose all your friends.
What you will do in the business now?
Look, at the moment, the employees are handling it.
We'll part ways.
If you value my friendship,
Look, you never turn your back on family.
Bottom line.
My worry was that this brotherly bond, admired by everyone,
might fade away over something trivial
that could be fixed overnight.
-All right, buddy? -All right.
Honestly, Salem is like an older brother. His presence in my life is essential.
He told me things I didn't know about Bliss.
I'm hosting a surprise event for my mother,
for a new business I established for her.
I've invited everyone,
and I hope Danya and Bliss will be there.
When we were kids,
It was like, even with nothing, she knows how to make a cake.
So, I decided to open a business for her called Call Your Mother Cakes.
I mean, I showed her a logo and stuff, but she doesn't know.
Who are you inviting?
I'm not like that.
-Thank God. -The invitation is for everyone.
After talking with Ebraheem,
I felt like he was open to making up.
And as soon as I felt that,
I was like, "Thank God. This is done."
Now, Marwan needs to calm down.
Thank you, babe.
For example,
we never went on a family vacation.
We never went to eat in restaurants.
So, there was no financial stability.
Zeina Khoury is a very common name in Lebanon,
but…
I'm not Zeina Khoury.
I'm Zeina Khalil Khoury.
I am proud he was my dad.
I'm really sad.
I'm really excited today because I have a surprise for Mom.
My mom always made homemade cakes.
I figured we could use these recipes.
She doesn't know what we're doing,
but I invited everyone.
I even invited Danya and Bliss. Even though I'm the one who was wronged.
I can't wait for one more second
to see the reaction on my mother's face.
KHADEJAH DOWD
Fahad, the only one of us who lost his mother.
Fahad's love for his mother is extraordinary.
I want to give him a gift.
True.
Everyone said nice things,
and this is the first time I see us agree on something.
Because a mother deserves the highest place in your life.
But unfortunately, I didn't see Danya or Bliss.
I expected them to come, honestly.
For me, my mother is…
I mean, my mother is second to God.
My mother is the only person who truly helped me and stood by my side.
I owe her so much.
Not only for raising me, but for raising my daughter as well.
There’s no replacing a mother.
She's the only one who stands by you, no matter what.
-May God protect your mother. -Thank you.
Now, on that note…
And I hope you won't be upset with me.
-Out of respect for my mother… -Yeah.
In that moment,
I looked at Jwana,
and I looked at LJ,
and I looked at my mom.
I felt like, "Ebraheem, this is the opportunity."
I have a small window to reconcile them.
If we couldn't be together as friends,
at least we should love each other, especially the mothers.
Of course.
Because you're a mother,
and LJ is a mother.
So, I want you to at least love each other.
Okay, sometimes there are conflicts in life,
but love is always there,
because love cannot be changed.
Those who know love can never hate.
At that moment,
when I looked into her eyes,
I sensed sadness,
and I sensed fear that I would say no again.
Go on, Jwana.
I never hated her. Of course I missed her.
Maybe this was an act of God.
He made my heart soften for her.
I felt that she still loves me, and I still love her.
Nothing is worth losing this.
I hope you'll always be together from now on.
Even I feel like a burden is off my shoulders.
I can't imagine how you feel.
Nothing is worth losing a friend.
It's great that they gave each other a chance, LJ and Jwana,
to discover together that this friendship can go on,
and it can be stronger than before.
I teared up. I felt like…
I honestly didn't expect LJ and Jwana
to patch things up so easily.
She didn't call me back.
I called her to apologize for telling them that she's pregnant.
Bliss told everyone that he's sorry for what he's done.
I mean, who deserves to hear that "sorry"?
That's arrogance.
for us all to gather there and settle all the scores.
I did what I could to calm him down
and get them to make up,
and I hope it goes well.
So, today we'll find out the gender?
I love that you guys came together.
This is the best surprise, honestly.
-Hey. -Congratulations. God bless you.
-How are you? -Congratulations.
Of course the whole group is here, except for Ebraheem.
I hope the celebration doesn't end until Ebraheem is here.
I mean, ten years is a big milestone.
Ask me.
I know.
Congratulations.
In life, nothing stays the same.
Forgiving Loujain was so hard for me,
but then I decided to give her a chance.
I hope this chance won't go to waste.
That's life. Nothing stays the same.
When I decided to get married,
I imagined I was going to live happily ever after.
But life led me to a crossroads,
full of different challenges,
but also full of opportunities and optimism.
Life’s full of surprises.
Friends can turn into foes,
and foes can turn into friends.
It's very important to know who to trust.
We're a group of successful friends.
We've shared the sweetest moments and the toughest ones.
Does everyone trust each other?
I don't know.
Life is full of surprises.
Those who were closest to my heart have become strangers.
Today, I decided to be the bigger person,
and take a big step,
to go to DJ Bliss and Danya's event.
Not for them, but for the baby Danya is carrying.
But I have no idea how Bliss is going to react.
Suddenly, we're all shocked to see Ebraheem making an appearance.
Let's hope they can all make up.
