Dubai Bling (2022) s02e01 Episode Script
Back in Bling Town!
1
[dramatic music playing]
["Boot" playing]
-We're back
-[women laughing]
With new dreams and new beginnings.
[song continues]
[Bliss] Our friendship
was a big circle before
and then suddenly, boom! Circle broke up.
IN THIS SEASON
[song continues]
EXPECT MORE
New stories for you.
Oh, my God!
MORE GLAMOUR
It's never enough. There's always someone
who has more than you.
-How much do we have on the table?
-About $5 million.
We'll go to Saudi.
NEW HORIZONS
I love you, Danya.
I don't care about Safa!
This is AlUla.
It's a unique place.
Mumbai, here we go!
[song continues]
We'll go through things
that are hard and bitter.
[dramatic music playing]
When greed takes over
I bought my own car
with my own money, cash.
I don't need my husband
to buy me anything.
The more you achieve, the more you want.
MORE DRAMA
If you were around,
you'd understand what I was going through.
What are you doing here?
-[Safa] LO, they're gonna be jealous.
-Why should we care?
Who does Zeina think she is
to tell me who I can and can't see?
Neither of you
are leaving. I am.
[Ebraheem] I missed you.
-[Bliss] Why are you running away?
-[Kris] Fame's like reign.
If you don't know how to handle it,
it'll eat you alive!
INTENSE CONFRONTATIONS
-Zeina!
-[Zeina] I hope you fall!
Apologize when you mess up.
You called me a bitch!
-No, I'm not gonna do anything.
-No, no.
You wanna be a man? Yalla, let's see.
I have a sharp tongue. Be careful.
[pop song playing]
Do you think I'm a weak target? I'm not!
Why would I be jealous?
You're an Ali Baba version of me.
So ridiculous! Shame! Shame on you, guys!
[dramatic music playing]
And nothing is worse than watching
someone else achieve your dreams.
[crying] You guys are crazy!
What have you done to our friendship?
-Please. Enough!
-That's enough, Zeina.
A NEW CHARACTER
There is something blinging from far.
MONA KATTAN
[triumphant music playing]
-[both screaming]
-The brides!
[cheering]
Never quit. Just keep going
until all your dreams come true.
MORE SURPRISES
Oh, no! [screams]
I can't believe it.
In the end, the hero takes it all.
-Maybe you just leave. Pathetic!
-Women empowerment.
-[Bliss] You can't run away forever.
-[engine revving]
Who runs away from a crime scene?
A guilty person.
[music continues]
Oh, my God!
DUBAI BLING
["Nayda" playing]
[water splashing]
-How are you?
-[Ebraheem] I'm good.
Our groom.
Dubai is freezing these days. It's insane.
I invited Danya over to my place.
We have a lot to talk about.
It's romantic, uh
-Yeah.
-The atmosphere is romantic.
I love your fiancée.
DANYA MOHAMMED
VLOGGER
-She's so sweet.
-She is.
I'm so happy you finally found
the right person for you. Really.
They say good things
come to those who wait.
-Exactly.
-[cat meowing]
I found the love of my life.
And we're getting married.
My fiancée, Hamda, was my friend,
but bit by bit, we grew closer.
I love her presence in my life.
Mommy?
-How are you?
-I'm fine. And you?
Good to see you.
I told Hamda that one of my conditions
is that my mother stays with us.
-[Danya] Of course.
-She said okay, and I'll look after her.
So she moved to Dubai.
Hamda respects my mother.
One of my conditions
was that Hamda moves in with us.
It was a relief because I have obligations
towards my mom since I'm not married yet.
-You'll always be the first lady.
-[Danya] Aw. Your first love.
Hamda is a very lovely person,
and I feel like she will be
a good addition to our family.
How's the preparations going
-for the wedding?
-I'm stressed.
My biggest problem
with the wedding is the invitees.
I want it to be a small wedding,
less than 500.
You have the guest list done?
Obviously, you are like
first on the list, DJ Bliss,
Farhana, for sure Lojain Omran,
Brianna and Kris Fade.
Do you want to invite them,
like Kris and Brianna?
I do. Because they invited me
to their wedding.
There's a lot of, like,
things between Bliss and Kris
that's been going on for,
like, over 12 years.
And I think the cherry
on the top was specifically
not inviting us to their wedding.
The history between Bliss and Kris
has been hidden for many, many years.
Bliss never really talks about it,
but I know he's hurt.
[sighs]
I think you need to talk to Bliss
and get to the bottom of the story
and understand
how he feels about it.
-Can we fix it?
-I don't know. It's deep. It's very deep.
When Ebraheem sits down
with Bliss and finds out the details
of what has been done to Bliss,
then he can make his decision
if he wants to invite someone
that's hurt his brother or not.
["Feel Like A Woman" playing]
Oh, baby, you're so fine ♪
Gotta give it to you immediately
All the time, yeah! ♪
Today, Zeina's coming and I have
a surprise that I want to show her.
[song continues]
[Zeina] Oh, my God!
-You like it?
-[Zeina] Amazing!
[Safa] We couldn't get
the house next door.
Zeina suggested that
we extend our current house.
So this is why we decided
to do the renovation.
The plan is to do the extra renovations
uh, in the summer when we travel.
Okay, let's get her ready for her massage.
Give her a kiss. Come on, give her a kiss.
[speaking Arabic]
Tell your baby sister,
what does a massage do.
It makes you Indian and strong.
We called the baby Ayana,
and she's having a massage,
as she always does every day.
It's actually an Indian tradition
that Fahad's family taught me.
Hush little baby, don't you cry ♪
Mommy's gonna sing you a lullaby ♪
No, no. Ayana is a miniature Safa.
With her robe and her feathers
and her massage. Oh, my God!
Oh, this is so cute.
[reads] "Push." "Present?"
Men gift their wives something
when they have their babies.
I put these shoes on because
basically Fahad doesn't get the hint.
He carries his baby, I make sure
she wears them, and he'll get the hint.
Nobody likes a nagging wife, right?
So I have this concept
where I leave Fahad messages
through fashion.
I'm not nagging.
The bracelet is nagging. I'm not nagging.
My hair clip is nagging.
It's not me.
["It's On Tonight" playing]
Nothing going up, I'm ready to go ♪
Gonna look at my watch
'Cause I put on a show ♪
Today I'm visiting Safa and her baby
to offer my congratulations.
Even though I'm busy,
the obligation must be fulfilled.
LO, she's come now to see baby Ayana
after two and a half months.
-How are you?
-How are you?
Maybe she was very busy. I don't know.
But no one could be that busy
that you don't come, so
Why don't you look
at the gift that LO brought?
-I see nice things.
-[Safa gasps]
Oi, habibi. Thank you so much, darling.
This is really very cute.
-When she starts walking, she can wear it.
-[Zeina] Alexa has one.
-[Safa] Oh, my goodness!
-[Zeina] They can wear them together.
The gifts are cute. They're very nice.
-To protect her form the snakes, huh?
-[laughter]
May God protect us. Yeah.
Because we have
to be careful of all the snakes.
I feel guilty for not coming earlier,
I've been meaning to come for a long time.
I even called you, remember?
And said I'd visit, then I didn't.
I thought you were waiting
for her to go to school.
No, of course not.
Seriously, I'm super busy.
I don't have to justify how busy I am,
show them my calendar
and my busy schedule.
It's fine. The baby is two months old.
And you even missed my birthday.
I felt that LO,
for the past four or five months
has been distancing herself.
We noticed on social media
that she was close to people
she wasn't that close to before.
Although, Ebraheem has been going around
talking about me and Safa on social media.
But I didn't know. I didn't notice.
It's okay.
I've learned to value myself, no matter
how much a person tries to provoke me.
Even with their looks,
not only words can be provocative.
The best thing to do
as we say in Saudi is "play dumb."
You have cravings?
Yeah. I feel like I'm done.
That's it. No more babies.
I'm still ten kilos heavier
than last year.
That's normal after pregnancy.
You need nine months for the body
to go back to the way they were.
-Right.
-It would take time.
Was it not worth it?
Of course. But it's still hard.
The day that I went into labor,
it was an emergency
because my baby wasn't doing so well.
And I was induced,
and I was in 18 hours of labor.
And the baby wasn't coming out,
and it was getting quite risky
for me as well.
And the doctor was, like,
"If the baby's not out in two more hours,
we'll have to take you in for C-section."
And that's what I had to do.
[emotional music playing]
[baby crying]
[Fahad] Come and see your little sister.
-She's so small.
-[Safa] What's her name?
[indistinct speaking]
Before I go, there's a getaway
next week in Ras Al Khaimah.
Mm-hmm.
Since we haven't got together
this year yet,
I thought it would be
a good opportunity to get together.
I decided to organize
a getaway trip for the whole group.
It's going to be outside Dubai,
so they feel the change.
I'm ready for any situation.
Why would there be any?
If you're wondering who will be there,
if someone invites me
and invites the devil himself,
I don't care.
Hanna and I have moved on.
After Danya and Ebraheem, I don't have
a problem being in the same place as them.
Honestly, if anything,
I feel bad for them,
because when they see me,
they'll be shaking, not me.
[upbeat music playing]
[Lojain] Lately, I have been merging
with brands and designers.
Fashion is where I find myself.
It's a part of my lifestyle.
[Dee] Beautiful.
So, today I'm going
to LJ's photoshoot to show support.
I really cherish my friendship with LJ.
I'm so happy that
we, uh,reconnected and re-bonded.
-Hello, Princess. Oh, my God.
-Hi, sweetie.
-How are you?
-You look so stunning and turn.
[Dee] And turn. Yes, beautiful.
Princess LJ and Dee's doing a shoot.
I have to talk to you.
Tell me. I feel like
there's something big you want to tell me.
No, but it's, like Okay, don't judge.
My friends have been suggesting me
to go and meet this A matchmaker.
I met this matchmaker.
-I'll tell you what's happening.
-You met a matchmaker?
She's really nice,
and I thought, why not, just
Check it out.
It's time for you to be
with someone. Why not?
Exactly. I thought,
"What do I have to lose?"
I may just meet the man of my dreams
through her, you never know.
It took me, like, at least three years
to get over my ex, you know?
But I think now I'm ready.
I wanna get married.
I wanna have a family again.
Yeah, but don't keep your hopes high.
Definitely not too high.
I've never been to a matchmaker.
It's not like you're going to a stylist
to pick a dress for an event or a bag.
It's either you're going to have
the click or you're not?
["Just What You Like" playing]
[Dee] Yeah, baby girl. You go, girl!
[Farhana laughing]
[Farhana] But, yeah. Let's see.
You know, 'cause
I was just like wondering
[song continues]
I didn't even tell my mom
about this because
I don't wanna bombard her like
this is happening, that is happening.
-Yeah, of course.
-I was, like, slowly, slowly.
In our culture, we don't believe
in dating and stuff.
They always want us to get,
like, arranged marriage.
[Lojain] We're in the shoot,
and Farhana keeps talking,
she wouldn't stop.
I hope she'll be okay with it.
Stop. You'll be fine. Don't worry.
Maybe I'll find one for me, too. [laughs]
How about that?
I've been talking to someone
for a while. Long distance.
We're still getting to know each other.
So, we're taking our time,
and we will see what happens next.
["So Fly" playing]
Today I'm meeting Safa
after such a long time.
I really want to talk to her
so that we can clear the air.
I feel that Safa is not a bad person.
She's completely different
when she's away from Zeina.
["Like A bad Girl" playing]
Give it all you've got ♪
Hit it hard like a bad girl ♪
Power on ♪
Hit it hard like a bad girl ♪
Get it done ♪
[Safa] I'm going to meet Ebraheem,
and I haven't told Zeina.
I just want to understand why.
What has Zeina or I done to deserve
bashing and smashing us on social media?
If you have something to say,
say it to their face.
So I put my latex on.
My weapon, which is the panther ring.
In case I need to throw
a few punches, it was ready.
-Hi.
-Good morning.
-How are you?
-Good. How are you?
Yeah, good.
[Safa groans]
It's a bit awkward.
I'm feeling a bit weird seeing you
after so long. Like, I'm talking to you.
Didn't miss me?
It's hard to miss you when all you do
is slander us on social media.
I feel that Ebraheem
on social media is very obnoxious.
I think he needs to tone it down.
Don't make yourself relevant
by talking about us.
[Ebraheem] This one reminds me
of someone I know.
I think only Danya will understand.
I don't have anything malicious.
I don't do anything to hurt people.
Okay. Zeina, I understand. We have beef.
We have a problem.
It's between us. But you.
Yeah. If you can't fix things with her,
then it's not gonna fix with me.
It's Farha & Marha together.
If he hasn't corrected it with her,
then I don't really see this progressing.
Honestly, as your personality,
I love you and all of you as you.
But the moment Zeina comes along
with you, you become a different person.
It's a person who kind of
brings the worst out of you.
Safa is kind, but Zeina is not.
Zeina is a selfish person.
She does not like anyone but herself.
How'd you feel about Zeina now?
I have no hate
or no animosity towards her.
I don't like the always constantly
talking about people behind their back.
-You're constantly talking about us.
-I'm not.
On your social media,
I feel sometimes, you're trying
to drag out this whole
No, there is a
Just to make some content
or be relevant, I'm not sure what it is.
You shouldn't
hurt others in the process.
I don't like things dragging on,
'cause when they do,
people get involved.
Everyone, "He said, she said."
Some people
You're being hypocritical,
'cause you're dragging on
the whole thing with Zeina.
You've dragged it on
She hasn't talked to me.
Didn't have the chance.
When it comes to Zeina,
I don't mind sitting with her
and sorting things
because it's draining my energy.
What matters to me
is to be at peace with her.
What do I do? Go back
and delete everything?
What do I do?
The thing is,
I feel like you take it too far.
-I want you to be genuine.
-You think I'm a bad person?
No, I don't.
That's why I try
to defend you as much as I can.
I feel that Ebraheem, deep down,
he is this big child,
and I want to kind of build a bridge
between him and Zeina.
I'm not sure
how receptive she'll be to this.
-I like your outfit.
-This one's not intimidating enough.
I mean, kind of it is,
but it's okay. [laughs]
Actually, I came in
with a bit of an attitude,
like ready to tear him down.
But to be honest, he was so calm.
You know what's the most thing
I like about you?
-Your laugh.
-[laughs]
You haven't seen that much,
'cause we're never in a good place.
and I feel, I don't know,
if it's going to be fixable
even with Zeina.
-In life, we try our best.
-Mmm.
We do what we can.
If someone doesn't want something,
let it be.
What do we do? Do we hug?
[laughs]
-I missed you. [chuckles]
-I miss you too, dear.
It's like we're having an affair.
[chuckles] A friendship affair.
We can't tell Zeina that we met.
And we can't tell Danya, just so
it doesn't make more issues, I guess.
I don't know how
I'm gonna tell Zeina, but let's see.
I heard him out. I felt he was genuine.
I just hope he wants to make things right.
And I really hope it doesn't get awkward
at LO's getaway.
[birds squawking]
["Fabulous" playing]
[Farhana] Today I'm going
to see Azra, the elite match-maker,
who I've met before.
Azra wants to introduce me to some
of the friends she know who are single,
and let's see how it goes.
So, Farhana, we meet again.
I'm so nervous. Oh, my God!
It's like something
It was never in my agenda.
But then, you know, what we're doing
is exactly what we do in our culture.
I come from a very strict background.
So I also have
to take that in consideration.
Faith and spirituality
is very important for me.
And also for my family,
and, uh, I know it's hard sometimes,
but I've manifested it and I feel that,
you know, God is with me.
And the right guy is going to come.
Well, what have you manifested?
Please elaborate.
I have this diary,
and then I literally write down
everything I want, uh,
in my future husband.
The smoke comes by,
and there he is
-That's also nice.
-It's a white horse.
I mean, but now what do you want, then?
You don't want the same as before.
I don't know.
I always wanted to be with a man
-uh, who is really good looking
-Okay.
-and attractive, and light eyes
-Yeah.
and super successful, ambitious.
-He needs to be tall.
-Okay.
He needs to be taller than me.
He needs to have a good attitude,
a good body, style, charisma
The list is long.
I can go on and on and on.
He needs to hold a conversation with me,
'cause sometimes, you meet guys,
and they're so full of themselves.
And it's all just about them,
about them, about them.
-Right.
-Don't want one of those.
You want him to talk about you?
Of course.
[laughs] Why not?
Am I asking for too much?
I hope not. [chuckles]
You also need to come back
to planet Earth,
because I feel like,
-Farhana, every time we speak
-Oh, my God!
-your list just gets longer and longer.
-I know.
I'm so fussy. I'm so picky.
You are actually
a match-maker's worst nightmare.
[laughs]
What we'll do is,
-I'll set you up with a potential match.
-Okay.
I'll set up a kind of activity
so it's not boring, it's interactive.
I've never put myself
in a situation like this.
It'll be the first time.
[slow pop music playing]
["Caravan" playing]
[Lojain] We are at the Al Marjan Island,
Ras Al Khaimah.
Since we haven't
got together this year,
I thought this was a good opportunity
to see each other and catch up.
[song continues]
I've invited everyone,
and they all agreed to come,
which is something I appreciate,
and it's a sign of respect.
[Lojain] It'll be fun.
I'm looking forward to it.
I hope there is no drama. [laughs]
I'm very happy that I'll be seeing
everyone at the getaway.
Except one person.
[engine revving]
[Zeina] I wasn't hesitant about coming.
I accept the fact that
there will be people around me
who I don't like and who don't like me.
I don't change my plans for anyone.
["Call It" playing]
[Bliss] We arrived to Al Marja Island.
We're going to the villa.
-[Danya] Wow.
-[Bliss] Nice.
This place is unbelievable.
[Farhana] Oh, my God,
guys, check out the chalet.
I love it.
[song continues]
[Danya laughing]
[song continues]
By the way, this place
is so calm and relaxing.
[Danya] After we saw
the beach and the villa,
I thought that since both Bliss
and Ebraheem were here,
Bliss could talk to Ebraheem about
what's happened between him and Kris.
We were going through Ebraheem's
-guest list for his wedding.
-Yeah.
And then, he mentioned
like someone, that you're
-A sensitive name, like Kris
-Hmm.
and Brianna, and I said, that you
don't really like to talk about it.
but there's a lot of hidden like pain
-that you've been through.
-Mmm.
I don't know how you'd feel
because we also, like
you know how we weren't invited
-to their wedding for no reason.
-Yeah.
You guys were traveling.
We were traveling,
but the intention wasn't there.
But it was so many years ago.
When he does things like this,
invites everyone to the wedding
except for us, he's making a statement.
Maybe you see us out,
you see us say hi to each other,
we're in the same room,
same circle of friends,
But there is an issue with me and Kris.
It started when we were on radio.
I was on a breakfast show on radio
and he had just moved to Dubai.
When I was doing my radio show and TV,
the only person who has ever competed with
Kris on a media level has been me.
He was trying to get on my show
as a co-host, I said,
"I can't have it."
Even when I wasn't doing radio and TV,
it was still either me or him
that they would call to host an event
so it was always competition,
even till today.
Everyone says, "I wish you and Kris
got along. Wish you'll made up."
I'm like, "Made up about"
I don't get it.
I can understand that he's jealous of me.
I get jealous of other people.
I don't go about trying to stop them
from getting work and living their life.
-The best thing to do is sit and talk.
-I have tried.
I reached out to him
a couple of years ago.
I got his number, I whatsapped him,
and he's like, "I'm busy this week."
He said, "The week after."
-He was ghosting you.
-Yeah.
Where he was ten years ago,
where he is today,
I change from month to month.
I don't think he changed
'cause his wedding was last year
and he didn't invite us on purpose.
Brianna did not tell me,
"I'm not inviting Danya and Marwan
because of the problem."
She said that "Danya has an issue
with Zeina, and I don't want problems."
[both] So do you.
-So do you.
-So do you.
The whole world, including Ebraheem,
see a whole different side of Kris.,
He's very good at doing this.
The radio guy always smiling, always loud,
but the side that I know
is a completely different side.
I need some answers.
-He needs an explanation.
-Talk together. Fix it out.
You know, I got your back.
It's time to put the peacemaker aside,
and it's time to get down
to facts and get the truth out.
[slow music playing]
[Safa] How are you finding the resort?
It's very nice, but I haven't seen
any of, uh, the other people.
Who else is here? Is everyone here?
-I don't know. Did LJ arrive?
-Yeah, I think she's here.
-She came alone?
-Hmm, I think she came alone.
I know that, uh,
LJ had someone serious.
But I don't see her
with him in public often.
Maybe they have issues. I don't know.
[dramatic music playing]
It's a bit, uh, on the hush-hush side.
Did you see Farhana?
I think I saw her passing
by the lobby. Why?
You didn't see her Birkin?
-No.
-It's obviously borrowed.
[dramatic music playing]
I don't know, like Farhana walking around
with a Birkin in a dust bag.
That's not how you carry Birkins.
No, honey, you carry it with pride.
You want everyone to see
you're carrying that Birkin.
Did you see Bliss and Danya's
borrowed car?
I saw him lingering around the boot,
'cause he didn't know how to close it.
-Because it is obviously rented. [laughs]
-What? What?
I cannot relate to these people.
Honestly, it's not the cars.
It's not the jewelry.
If people only respect me
because my car is the latest model,
then to hell with them all.
It's going to be weird, right?
Seeing Danya after so long, and
How do you feel?
[softly] I don't care.
-But it is going to be interesting.
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
-Are they gonna say hi?
-They not gonna say hi?
-What are you gonna do if they do?
It depends on the "Hi,"
how fake the "Hi" is gonna be.
They have a big ego.
Their ego blinds them.
I doubt that they'll say hi to me.
I really don't understand why LO is, uh
bringing everybody together like this.
-Knowing what she knows, it's fine.
-Yeah, it's fine.
I'm not gonna tell people,
"You can be friends"
That's not the concept.
-My thinking
-But you do that to me.
-You are different.
-You always do it to me.
[mockingly] "Why are you friends
with Ebraheem?
Why did you say hello to Danya?"
You're the closest person to me.
I can't expect LO to take the same stance.
-Yeah.
-So, you were part of the whole drama.
[Safa] After seeing Ebraheem,
I feel like I've done something
so bad, and I just
That guilt. Oh, my God, it's horrible.
I am dying to tell her.
But I don't think
she's gonna be understanding.
[slow music playing]
["Wasa3 Wasa3" playing]
It's time for the dinner
LO has invited us to.
I'm happy that Hanna managed to make it.
Hello!
-How are you?
-I'm fine.
[song continues]
I haven't seen everyone for a while.
It was the first time we've
all come together after a few months.
Hamda couldn't make it because
she's from a very conservative family.
She doesn't attend events
where men and women socialize together.
-[Hanna] Hi, Ebraheem.
-[Lojain] Hi, Ebraheem.
[Ebraheem] Hey, hey, hey.
-[Lojain] How are you?
-Good. How are you?
When Ebraheem walked in,
I didn't really want to say hello
because when I'm hiding something,
I can't really hide it very well.
I didn't wanna risk it.
-Hi.
-Hey.
[Zeina] Ebraheem gets flustered
when he sees me.
He tries to avoid me,
and I can't blame him.
I'd avoid me if I was him.
-[chuckles softly]
-[scoffs]
[all] Hi!
Oh, my God. I love this.
It's beautiful. How is it going?
[Ebraheem] Good. You?
[hip-hop song playing]
[Safa] Zeina. Zeina.
What was the theme in her head?
When LO invited us to this event,
she told us like glitz and glam,
I didn't realize that she thought
it was a circus theme.
-[Danya] As-salamu alaykum.
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Hi, everybody.
["Wasa3 Wasa3" playing]
I am so excited to see them
all at the same table.
But I'm keeping a lighter
in my bag, just in case.
If anyone disrespects anyone
and things get heated,
I'll give them the lighter
and let it burn.
-Hello.
-Hey!
[Lojain] Good evening, everyone.
-Thank you so much for coming.
-You look beautiful.
Thank you.
Lojain Omran, when she walks into a room.
There she is. She's entered.
I'll sit here.
[Lojain] Given the situation,
I thought I'd sit in the middle
so as not to be siding
with A against B or B against A.
I'm friends with them all,
and I respect everyone equally.
[glass clinks]
So, first of all,
I want to thank you all for coming.
Since the New Year,
we didn't have this gathering.
And I know it's a new year,
new goals, new targets
and a new version of us,
which is a better version than last year.
Do you agree, all of you?
-Hope so.
-[Safa] Yes.
I was happy with how I was last year.
[all laughing]
We're friends at the end.
[Zeina] We can't call them
all close friends.
This is a group of people
that sometimes have to tolerate each other
because there are people in common
that think it's a good idea
to put them all together.
[Bliss] Let's keep it real this year.
I think, like, Lojain is really
the only person at this table
who is loved by everyone,
like did this for me?
Love you all, guys.
[Kris] Who doesn't love me?
[all laughing]
-Who is missing?
-Two dear friends.
They will join us
and they will arrive any minute.
[Bliss] Oh no. Like, who could
these two people be?
All I'm thinking is like,
are they going to be
on the left team, our team,
or are they going to be
on the right team, on their team?
Okay, there's something blinging from far.
[upbeat song playing]
I'm Mona Kattan. I'm originally from Iraq.
I was born and raised in the US.
But I've been in Dubai
for over 20 years now.
[all cheering]
Watch me move ♪
Everybody can see that I can shake ♪
Shake, shake the ground, yeah ♪
Mona Kattan is the one I know best
in the whole group.
[indistinct conversation]
Her schedule is very busy.
I met Mona lately,
and I told her, "Let's get together."
How are you doing?
We have been friends for years.
Seeing what Mona and her sister Huda
have achieved, out of Dubai,
they've been really inspirational.
It's like I don't know why ♪
Yeah, I'm hot, hot, hot ♪
Like fire ♪
I'm the best ♪
I always knew
I wanted to be a businesswoman,
and I think moving to Dubai
inspired that even more.
I'm a co-founder of Huda Beauty,
which is our beauty empire,
named after my beautiful sister, Huda.
We launched a brand in 2013.
2017, the company
was valued at $1.2 billion.
[song continues]
My biggest focus right now
really is Kayali, our fragrance brand.
My baby. I'm the founder of the brand,
and it's my biggest passion and my dream.
[song continues]
People call me the perfume princess.
[coughing] I'm coughing.
-[coughs] It's all right. I'm good. Ooh!
-[man laughing]
[laughter]
-I've known Mona for, like, forever.
-[Farhana] Me too!
She used to go out a lot,
and then stopped going out.
Recently, that's the first time
I've seen you in a long time.
I know. I do like going out.
I love people.
But I'm so busy with work,
and a new relationship, all you want to do
is spend time, so, you know.
HASSAN ELAMIN
BUSINESSMAN
The past year has been
so crazy busy for me.
I mean, I got married
with the perfect man.
My husband, Hassan,
is definitely my calming force.
He's a dream come true.
-I'm grateful to my beautiful wife. Uh
-Baby
We're almost married one year now.
-And one of many more to come.
-Aw. [giggles]
-Baby, I love you.
-[Kris] Oh, I like that.
And as always, you know
I'm always here to support you.
[speaking Arabic]
[both chuckle]
[joyful music playing]
-[Kris] Where's, uh, Safa? Okay.
-Uh, restroom.
So during dinner,
I realized that, like, I had some message
that I needed to give Fahad.
-You finished your dinner?
-Huh?
-You finished your dinner?
-Yeah.
[comical music playing]
-What?
-[Safa] What?
The baby's two months.
I was expecting my push present
at the delivery room.
And Fahad hasn't given me anything.
I can't wait anymore.
I want my push present now.
Typical Fahad, he hasn't even noticed.
He's just sitting there.
He doesn't pay attention to these things.
[indistinct chatter]
[Fahad] What the
-What does it say?
-"Push present."
Well, you get the hint, finally!
If I don't do it like this,
he'll never get the fucking hint.
I am materialistic,
but I'm also sentimental.
Like, I need that push present.
Time's ticking.
Wait. You didn't get her a push present?
-How many months has it been?
-[Safa] Two and a half.
Two and half months,
and you look this amazing?
-God bless.
-Should give me tips!
Oh, my gosh! That's super exciting!
Now I don't know what to get for you.
I'm clueless what gift to buy her?
Jewelry? She has so much.
If I buy her a car, we have so many.
So, I don't know.
-Is there anything that you need?
-Why can't he think of anything?
-Don't try and suggest an apartment again.
-Okay. No apartment.
[laughs]
Safa likes the attention.
And Fahad is probably too busy now.
The poor guy must have to work hard
to keep up with her spending.
-Isn't he pushing it?
-He's pushing it?
He want to bring you something
-that 100% you'll like.
-[Safa] But he's not.
Such a pressing problem.
She's upset with me
for visiting her two months late?
Unacceptable, Fahad.
The whole pregnancy thing is super hard,
so a gift of appreciation,
because men don't have to do anything.
Fahad had his tooth removed,
and he was actually comparing his tooth
to my C-section.
He's all like, "Baby, I'm in pain."
I can't move.
I cannot move, and he's in pain.
Are you planning?
I mean, you know
[all laughing]
The answer is "Hell yes."
[all laughing]
[inhales] Yeah.
[all cheering]
Right now I have so much anxiety.
I just need to
like, figure out my life.
Hassan's ready
to be a dad, like, tomorrow.
I'm more anxious.
I feel like I just want more time
of, like, being his wife
and just exploring together.

-Having fun?
-So much. Thank you, Lojain.
[Lojain] Great dear.
-[Danya] Now?
-I need to tell you something. Come.
I really didn't want
to make anyone jealous or angry,
so I signaled them
to tell them about the surprise.
At that moment, I thought to myself,
"Ebraheem, what have you done?"
"Ebraheem, you have to remember."
-So, guys, we have a groom.
-Yes.
-We want to celebrate him, but in my way.
-Yes.
I have a surprise that I want
to give Ebraheem before his wedding.
Prepare yourself, guys. We'll go to Saudi.
-[gasps] Oh, my God!
-Oh, yes, to my country.
[Safa] What's happening there?
What's happening there?
Who knows? Maybe they talk about us.
-[cheering] This is amazing.
-[Ebraheem] It's a dream come true.
There is nothing better than going
with LO to visit her own country.
I'm sure that she will
show us a great time.
We'll go to AlUla.
-Oh, wow!
-[Farhana] Oh, my God!
I always wanted to go.
I always wanted to go.
-This is gonna be so much fun.
-Amazing.
We are going to celebrate
Ebraheem getting married.
I'm so excited!
-I'm feel like I'm dreaming.
-Don't make me cry. Okay?
I'm so happy to take a break from it all.
With the wedding planning,
I want to step away, and relax.
Can I call LJ to give her the good news?
LJ, we need you over here.
-LJ, we need you here.
-[Ebraheem] LJ? LJ?
Wherever I go,
they call me "LJ. LJ." [laughs]
So, of course, they called me
to go sit with them. [chuckles]
-Free up your schedule, next week.
-[Lojain] Mm-hmm.
-We we are taking you to AlUla.
-Really?
-Yay! I'm excited.
-Guess for what?
-I've always wanted to go to AlUla.
-Yes. But why?
-Guess for what?
-For what?
To celebrate our groom.
-[Lojain] Aw!
-See? Your loss, someone else's gain.
[all laughing]
But I like you as a friend better.
[laughs] Look at her
And I wasn't even think about Ebraheem.
I was just thinking
"What do I wear?"
The night is still young,
and I have a different setting prepared,
a different atmosphere.
Let's say, a different game.
I took them to my villa.
We had a nice Arabian setting.
We lit the fire.
[indistinct chatter]
[indistinct]
[Lojain] Guys.
My girlfriends and I have this tradition.
We write down all the bad stuff
that we regret.
We burn the papers
so they don't happen again.
Each one of us
can write down what they regret
from last year and we'll throw it
into the fire and burn it.
You usually play these games
with, uh, closed circles.
I feel like I would be open to share
deeper secrets and deeper regrets maybe.
[pensive music playing]
BRIANNA FADE
I didn't put pressure on myself
or on us trying to have a baby.
My main regret is probably not spending
enough quality time with, uh, the family.
I don't really think Kris regrets
what he did over the years.
I'm wondering now if he knows what he did.
My biggest regret last year was probably
not paying enough attention to my wife.
[Farhana] Aw
I want to, like, this year,
put myself first
and just self-love
and love myself, and that's it.
Yeah.
I've always tried to support
everybody else's dreams,
but now I'm trying
to focus on myself.
I wanna spend time with my kids
because they need their mother.
And, also, I want to try something new,
doing more of the things
I'm passionate about in my life.
[all clapping]
I regret not having Ayana earlier.
This is so crazy because this time
last year, I wasn't ready for a baby.
Unbelievable, actually.
Just how things turned out.
There's one thing I regret
is not having another baby
so that Aydin could have had
a baby brother or a sister.
Fahad.
So today is my mom's eighth,
uh, death anniversary.
She was sick for about a year or two.
She was undergoing dialysis.
It was a painful period.
I used to shuttle up and down.
I didn't get to spend time with her.
Those are the regrets
I have. That's it. [cries]
-[Hassan] We love you.
-[all exclaiming]
[Hassan] Love you, man.
If I had known, or could go back in time,
I would've left everything
and just been with her all the time.
-My God. That was so deep.
-Yeah.
[emotional music playing]
My darling, Fahad.
This year I decided
to put myself first,
and everyone else comes second.
I'll continue to give, but I come first.
[all clapping]
This year is the plan to make
some more dreams come true,
and spend more time
with, uh, Hanna and the family.
When Zeina spoke,
I had a lot I wanted to say.
I regret
getting involved in drama
that I shouldn't even have been in.
And I do regret taking Danya
to Zeina's office,
and I just wish that didn't happen.
And hopefully now,
I'll delete it out once and for all.
Maybe Zeina wouldn't have been
so angry had it been the two of us.
That's why I regret it.
Words, words, words.
His regret is about his own image.
He's not even sorry that he hurt me.
He's not
[suspenseful music playing]
[Safa] After I heard everybody's regrets
Fahad come with me.
Help me. I want to go to the washroom.
I have this massive regret on me.
And I just can't keep it
to myself anymore.
I need to tell Fahad.
Oh, my God, Fahad. I'm feeling so heavy.
-What happened?
-I'm feeling really, like, heavy-hearted.
What happened, my love?
I went with, uh, Ebraheem.
Why? He is the reason of all the problems.
He wanted to know like Oh.
Look, first of all, Zeina knows nothing.
Number two, I wanted to hear him out.
-This thing is, now I'm feeling shit.
-You have to tell her.
I know. I wanna tell her, babe.
But I just feel
like she is going to overreact.
Zeina has a problem even that
we still follow each other on Instagram.
So, imagine she knows
I've gone and met him.
I'm not ready to tell Zeina,
because sometimes
I think Zeina is a little hard.
And she will feel that
I betrayed her in a way.
But you have to speak to her.
You have to speak.
That's the right thing to do.
[dramatic music playing]
[inaudible]
What the fuck! Why was she there?
-I don't know.
-Why was she there?
[all laughing]
She heard what I said?
She's going to go around
and start saying stuff
and not giving my side of the story,
and I'm gonna look bad.
Farhana, if this comes out,
you'll have to deal with me.
[all laughing]
[theme music playing]
[dramatic music playing]
["Boot" playing]
-We're back

With new dreams and new beginnings.

[Bliss] Our friendship
was a big circle before
and then suddenly, boom! Circle broke up.
IN THIS SEASON

EXPECT MORE
New stories for you.
Oh, my God!
MORE GLAMOUR
It's never enough. There's always someone
who has more than you.
-How much do we have on the table?
-About $5 million.
We'll go to Saudi.
NEW HORIZONS
I love you, Danya.
I don't care about Safa!
This is AlUla.
It's a unique place.
Mumbai, here we go!
[song continues]
We'll go through things
that are hard and bitter.
[dramatic music playing]
When greed takes over
I bought my own car
with my own money, cash.
I don't need my husband
to buy me anything.
The more you achieve, the more you want.
MORE DRAMA
If you were around,
you'd understand what I was going through.
What are you doing here?
-[Safa] LO, they're gonna be jealous.
-Why should we care?
Who does Zeina think she is
to tell me who I can and can't see?
Neither of you
are leaving. I am.
[Ebraheem] I missed you.
-[Bliss] Why are you running away?
-[Kris] Fame's like reign.
If you don't know how to handle it,
it'll eat you alive!
INTENSE CONFRONTATIONS
-Zeina!
-[Zeina] I hope you fall!
Apologize when you mess up.
You called me a bitch!
-No, I'm not gonna do anything.
-No, no.
You wanna be a man? Yalla, let's see.
I have a sharp tongue. Be careful.
[pop song playing]
Do you think I'm a weak target? I'm not!
Why would I be jealous?
You're an Ali Baba version of me.
So ridiculous! Shame! Shame on you, guys!
[dramatic music playing]
And nothing is worse than watching
someone else achieve your dreams.
[crying] You guys are crazy!
What have you done to our friendship?
-Please. Enough!
-That's enough, Zeina.
A NEW CHARACTER
There is something blinging from far.

MORE SURPRISES
Oh, no! [screams]
I can't believe it.
In the end, the hero takes it all.
-Maybe you just leave. Pathetic!
-Women empowerment.
-[Bliss] You can't run away forever.

Who runs away from a crime scene?
A guilty person.

DUBAI BLING
["Nayda" playing]
[water splashing]
-How are you?
-[Ebraheem] I'm good.
Our groom.
Dubai is freezing these days. It's insane.
I invited Danya over to my place.
We have a lot to talk about.
It's romantic, uh
-Yeah.
-The atmosphere is romantic.
I love your fiancée.
DANYA MOHAMMED
VLOGGER
-She's so sweet.
-She is.
I'm so happy you finally found
the right person for you. Really.
They say good things
come to those who wait.
-Exactly.
-[cat meowing]
I found the love of my life.
And we're getting married.
My fiancée, Hamda, was my friend,
but bit by bit, we grew closer.
I love her presence in my life.
Mommy?
-How are you?
-I'm fine. And you?
Good to see you.
I told Hamda that one of my conditions
is that my mother stays with us.
-[Danya] Of course.
-She said okay, and I'll look after her.
So she moved to Dubai.
Hamda respects my mother.
One of my conditions
was that Hamda moves in with us.
It was a relief because I have obligations
towards my mom since I'm not married yet.
-You'll always be the first lady.
-[Danya] Aw. Your first love.
Hamda is a very lovely person,
and I feel like she will be
a good addition to our family.
How's the preparations going
-for the wedding?
-I'm stressed.
My biggest problem
with the wedding is the invitees.
I want it to be a small wedding,
less than 500.
You have the guest list done?
Obviously, you are like
first on the list, DJ Bliss,
Farhana, for sure Lojain Omran,
Brianna and Kris Fade.
Do you want to invite them,
like Kris and Brianna?
I do. Because they invited me
to their wedding.
There's a lot of, like,
things between Bliss and Kris
that's been going on for,
like, over 12 years.
And I think the cherry
on the top was specifically
not inviting us to their wedding.
The history between Bliss and Kris
has been hidden for many, many years.
Bliss never really talks about it,
but I know he's hurt.
[sighs]
I think you need to talk to Bliss
and get to the bottom of the story
and understand
how he feels about it.
-Can we fix it?
-I don't know. It's deep. It's very deep.
When Ebraheem sits down
with Bliss and finds out the details
of what has been done to Bliss,
then he can make his decision
if he wants to invite someone
that's hurt his brother or not.
["Feel Like A Woman" playing]
Oh, baby, you're so fine ♪
Gotta give it to you immediately
All the time, yeah! ♪
Today, Zeina's coming and I have
a surprise that I want to show her.
[song continues]
[Zeina] Oh, my God!
-You like it?
-[Zeina] Amazing!
[Safa] We couldn't get
the house next door.
Zeina suggested that
we extend our current house.
So this is why we decided
to do the renovation.
The plan is to do the extra renovations
uh, in the summer when we travel.
Okay, let's get her ready for her massage.
Give her a kiss. Come on, give her a kiss.
[speaking Arabic]
Tell your baby sister,
what does a massage do.
It makes you Indian and strong.
We called the baby Ayana,
and she's having a massage,
as she always does every day.
It's actually an Indian tradition
that Fahad's family taught me.
Hush little baby, don't you cry ♪
Mommy's gonna sing you a lullaby ♪
No, no. Ayana is a miniature Safa.
With her robe and her feathers
and her massage. Oh, my God!
Oh, this is so cute.
[reads] "Push." "Present?"
Men gift their wives something
when they have their babies.
I put these shoes on because
basically Fahad doesn't get the hint.
He carries his baby, I make sure
she wears them, and he'll get the hint.
Nobody likes a nagging wife, right?
So I have this concept
where I leave Fahad messages
through fashion.
I'm not nagging.
The bracelet is nagging. I'm not nagging.
My hair clip is nagging.
It's not me.
["It's On Tonight" playing]
Nothing going up, I'm ready to go ♪
Gonna look at my watch
'Cause I put on a show ♪
Today I'm visiting Safa and her baby
to offer my congratulations.
Even though I'm busy,
the obligation must be fulfilled.
LO, she's come now to see baby Ayana
after two and a half months.
-How are you?
-How are you?
Maybe she was very busy. I don't know.
But no one could be that busy
that you don't come, so
Why don't you look
at the gift that LO brought?
-I see nice things.
-[Safa gasps]
Oi, habibi. Thank you so much, darling.
This is really very cute.
-When she starts walking, she can wear it.
-[Zeina] Alexa has one.
-[Safa] Oh, my goodness!
-[Zeina] They can wear them together.
The gifts are cute. They're very nice.
-To protect her form the snakes, huh?
-[laughter]
May God protect us. Yeah.
Because we have
to be careful of all the snakes.
I feel guilty for not coming earlier,
I've been meaning to come for a long time.
I even called you, remember?
And said I'd visit, then I didn't.
I thought you were waiting
for her to go to school.
No, of course not.
Seriously, I'm super busy.
I don't have to justify how busy I am,
show them my calendar
and my busy schedule.
It's fine. The baby is two months old.
And you even missed my birthday.
I felt that LO,
for the past four or five months
has been distancing herself.
We noticed on social media
that she was close to people
she wasn't that close to before.
Although, Ebraheem has been going around
talking about me and Safa on social media.
But I didn't know. I didn't notice.
It's okay.
I've learned to value myself, no matter
how much a person tries to provoke me.
Even with their looks,
not only words can be provocative.
The best thing to do
as we say in Saudi is "play dumb."
You have cravings?
Yeah. I feel like I'm done.
That's it. No more babies.
I'm still ten kilos heavier
than last year.
That's normal after pregnancy.
You need nine months for the body
to go back to the way they were.
-Right.
-It would take time.
Was it not worth it?
Of course. But it's still hard.
The day that I went into labor,
it was an emergency
because my baby wasn't doing so well.
And I was induced,
and I was in 18 hours of labor.
And the baby wasn't coming out,
and it was getting quite risky
for me as well.
And the doctor was, like,
"If the baby's not out in two more hours,
we'll have to take you in for C-section."
And that's what I had to do.
[emotional music playing]
[baby crying]
[Fahad] Come and see your little sister.
-She's so small.
-[Safa] What's her name?
[indistinct speaking]
Before I go, there's a getaway
next week in Ras Al Khaimah.
Mm-hmm.
Since we haven't got together
this year yet,
I thought it would be
a good opportunity to get together.
I decided to organize
a getaway trip for the whole group.
It's going to be outside Dubai,
so they feel the change.
I'm ready for any situation.
Why would there be any?
If you're wondering who will be there,
if someone invites me
and invites the devil himself,
I don't care.
Hanna and I have moved on.
After Danya and Ebraheem, I don't have
a problem being in the same place as them.
Honestly, if anything,
I feel bad for them,
because when they see me,
they'll be shaking, not me.
[upbeat music playing]
[Lojain] Lately, I have been merging
with brands and designers.
Fashion is where I find myself.
It's a part of my lifestyle.
[Dee] Beautiful.
So, today I'm going
to LJ's photoshoot to show support.
I really cherish my friendship with LJ.
I'm so happy that
we, uh,reconnected and re-bonded.
-Hello, Princess. Oh, my God.
-Hi, sweetie.
-How are you?
-You look so stunning and turn.
[Dee] And turn. Yes, beautiful.
Princess LJ and Dee's doing a shoot.
I have to talk to you.
Tell me. I feel like
there's something big you want to tell me.
No, but it's, like Okay, don't judge.
My friends have been suggesting me
to go and meet this A matchmaker.
I met this matchmaker.
-I'll tell you what's happening.
-You met a matchmaker?
She's really nice,
and I thought, why not, just
Check it out.
It's time for you to be
with someone. Why not?
Exactly. I thought,
"What do I have to lose?"
I may just meet the man of my dreams
through her, you never know.
It took me, like, at least three years
to get over my ex, you know?
But I think now I'm ready.
I wanna get married.
I wanna have a family again.
Yeah, but don't keep your hopes high.
Definitely not too high.
I've never been to a matchmaker.
It's not like you're going to a stylist
to pick a dress for an event or a bag.
It's either you're going to have
the click or you're not?
["Just What You Like" playing]
[Dee] Yeah, baby girl. You go, girl!
[Farhana laughing]
[Farhana] But, yeah. Let's see.
You know, 'cause
I was just like wondering
[song continues]
I didn't even tell my mom
about this because
I don't wanna bombard her like
this is happening, that is happening.
-Yeah, of course.
-I was, like, slowly, slowly.
In our culture, we don't believe
in dating and stuff.
They always want us to get,
like, arranged marriage.
[Lojain] We're in the shoot,
and Farhana keeps talking,
she wouldn't stop.
I hope she'll be okay with it.
Stop. You'll be fine. Don't worry.
Maybe I'll find one for me, too. [laughs]
How about that?
I've been talking to someone
for a while. Long distance.
We're still getting to know each other.
So, we're taking our time,
and we will see what happens next.
["So Fly" playing]
Today I'm meeting Safa
after such a long time.
I really want to talk to her
so that we can clear the air.
I feel that Safa is not a bad person.
She's completely different
when she's away from Zeina.
["Like A bad Girl" playing]

Hit it hard like a bad girl ♪
Power on ♪
Hit it hard like a bad girl ♪
Get it done ♪
[Safa] I'm going to meet Ebraheem,
and I haven't told Zeina.
I just want to understand why.
What has Zeina or I done to deserve
bashing and smashing us on social media?
If you have something to say,
say it to their face.
So I put my latex on.
My weapon, which is the panther ring.
In case I need to throw
a few punches, it was ready.
-Hi.
-Good morning.
-How are you?
-Good. How are you?
Yeah, good.
[Safa groans]
It's a bit awkward.
I'm feeling a bit weird seeing you
after so long. Like, I'm talking to you.
Didn't miss me?
It's hard to miss you when all you do
is slander us on social media.
I feel that Ebraheem
on social media is very obnoxious.
I think he needs to tone it down.
Don't make yourself relevant
by talking about us.
[Ebraheem] This one reminds me
of someone I know.
I think only Danya will understand.
I don't have anything malicious.
I don't do anything to hurt people.
Okay. Zeina, I understand. We have beef.
We have a problem.
It's between us. But you.
Yeah. If you can't fix things with her,
then it's not gonna fix with me.
It's Farha & Marha together.
If he hasn't corrected it with her,
then I don't really see this progressing.
Honestly, as your personality,
I love you and all of you as you.
But the moment Zeina comes along
with you, you become a different person.
It's a person who kind of
brings the worst out of you.
Safa is kind, but Zeina is not.
Zeina is a selfish person.
She does not like anyone but herself.
How'd you feel about Zeina now?
I have no hate
or no animosity towards her.
I don't like the always constantly
talking about people behind their back.
-You're constantly talking about us.
-I'm not.
On your social media,
I feel sometimes, you're trying
to drag out this whole
No, there is a
Just to make some content
or be relevant, I'm not sure what it is.
You shouldn't
hurt others in the process.
I don't like things dragging on,
'cause when they do,
people get involved.
Everyone, "He said, she said."
Some people
You're being hypocritical,
'cause you're dragging on
the whole thing with Zeina.
You've dragged it on
She hasn't talked to me.
Didn't have the chance.
When it comes to Zeina,
I don't mind sitting with her
and sorting things
because it's draining my energy.
What matters to me
is to be at peace with her.
What do I do? Go back
and delete everything?
What do I do?
The thing is,
I feel like you take it too far.
-I want you to be genuine.
-You think I'm a bad person?
No, I don't.
That's why I try
to defend you as much as I can.
I feel that Ebraheem, deep down,
he is this big child,
and I want to kind of build a bridge
between him and Zeina.
I'm not sure
how receptive she'll be to this.
-I like your outfit.
-This one's not intimidating enough.
I mean, kind of it is,
but it's okay. [laughs]
Actually, I came in
with a bit of an attitude,
like ready to tear him down.
But to be honest, he was so calm.
You know what's the most thing
I like about you?
-Your laugh.
-[laughs]
You haven't seen that much,
'cause we're never in a good place.
and I feel, I don't know,
if it's going to be fixable
even with Zeina.
-In life, we try our best.
-Mmm.
We do what we can.
If someone doesn't want something,
let it be.
What do we do? Do we hug?
[laughs]
-I missed you. [chuckles]
-I miss you too, dear.
It's like we're having an affair.
[chuckles] A friendship affair.
We can't tell Zeina that we met.
And we can't tell Danya, just so
it doesn't make more issues, I guess.
I don't know how
I'm gonna tell Zeina, but let's see.
I heard him out. I felt he was genuine.
I just hope he wants to make things right.
And I really hope it doesn't get awkward
at LO's getaway.
[birds squawking]
["Fabulous" playing]
[Farhana] Today I'm going
to see Azra, the elite match-maker,
who I've met before.
Azra wants to introduce me to some
of the friends she know who are single,
and let's see how it goes.
So, Farhana, we meet again.
I'm so nervous. Oh, my God!
It's like something
It was never in my agenda.
But then, you know, what we're doing
is exactly what we do in our culture.
I come from a very strict background.
So I also have
to take that in consideration.
Faith and spirituality
is very important for me.
And also for my family,
and, uh, I know it's hard sometimes,
but I've manifested it and I feel that,
you know, God is with me.
And the right guy is going to come.
Well, what have you manifested?
Please elaborate.
I have this diary,
and then I literally write down
everything I want, uh,
in my future husband.
The smoke comes by,
and there he is
-That's also nice.
-It's a white horse.
I mean, but now what do you want, then?
You don't want the same as before.
I don't know.
I always wanted to be with a man
-uh, who is really good looking
-Okay.
-and attractive, and light eyes
-Yeah.
and super successful, ambitious.
-He needs to be tall.
-Okay.
He needs to be taller than me.
He needs to have a good attitude,
a good body, style, charisma
The list is long.
I can go on and on and on.
He needs to hold a conversation with me,
'cause sometimes, you meet guys,
and they're so full of themselves.
And it's all just about them,
about them, about them.
-Right.
-Don't want one of those.
You want him to talk about you?
Of course.
[laughs] Why not?
Am I asking for too much?
I hope not. [chuckles]
You also need to come back
to planet Earth,
because I feel like,
-Farhana, every time we speak
-Oh, my God!
-your list just gets longer and longer.
-I know.
I'm so fussy. I'm so picky.
You are actually
a match-maker's worst nightmare.
[laughs]
What we'll do is,
-I'll set you up with a potential match.
-Okay.
I'll set up a kind of activity
so it's not boring, it's interactive.
I've never put myself
in a situation like this.
It'll be the first time.
[slow pop music playing]
["Caravan" playing]
[Lojain] We are at the Al Marjan Island,
Ras Al Khaimah.
Since we haven't
got together this year,
I thought this was a good opportunity
to see each other and catch up.
[song continues]
I've invited everyone,
and they all agreed to come,
which is something I appreciate,
and it's a sign of respect.
[Lojain] It'll be fun.
I'm looking forward to it.
I hope there is no drama. [laughs]
I'm very happy that I'll be seeing
everyone at the getaway.
Except one person.
[engine revving]
[Zeina] I wasn't hesitant about coming.
I accept the fact that
there will be people around me
who I don't like and who don't like me.
I don't change my plans for anyone.
["Call It" playing]
[Bliss] We arrived to Al Marja Island.
We're going to the villa.
-[Danya] Wow.
-[Bliss] Nice.
This place is unbelievable.
[Farhana] Oh, my God,
guys, check out the chalet.
I love it.
[song continues]
[Danya laughing]
[song continues]
By the way, this place
is so calm and relaxing.
[Danya] After we saw
the beach and the villa,
I thought that since both Bliss
and Ebraheem were here,
Bliss could talk to Ebraheem about
what's happened between him and Kris.
We were going through Ebraheem's
-guest list for his wedding.
-Yeah.
And then, he mentioned
like someone, that you're
-A sensitive name, like Kris
-Hmm.
and Brianna, and I said, that you
don't really like to talk about it.
but there's a lot of hidden like pain
-that you've been through.
-Mmm.
I don't know how you'd feel
because we also, like
you know how we weren't invited
-to their wedding for no reason.
-Yeah.
You guys were traveling.
We were traveling,
but the intention wasn't there.
But it was so many years ago.
When he does things like this,
invites everyone to the wedding
except for us, he's making a statement.
Maybe you see us out,
you see us say hi to each other,
we're in the same room,
same circle of friends,
But there is an issue with me and Kris.
It started when we were on radio.
I was on a breakfast show on radio
and he had just moved to Dubai.
When I was doing my radio show and TV,
the only person who has ever competed with
Kris on a media level has been me.
He was trying to get on my show
as a co-host, I said,
"I can't have it."
Even when I wasn't doing radio and TV,
it was still either me or him
that they would call to host an event
so it was always competition,
even till today.
Everyone says, "I wish you and Kris
got along. Wish you'll made up."
I'm like, "Made up about"
I don't get it.
I can understand that he's jealous of me.
I get jealous of other people.
I don't go about trying to stop them
from getting work and living their life.
-The best thing to do is sit and talk.
-I have tried.
I reached out to him
a couple of years ago.
I got his number, I whatsapped him,
and he's like, "I'm busy this week."
He said, "The week after."
-He was ghosting you.
-Yeah.
Where he was ten years ago,
where he is today,
I change from month to month.
I don't think he changed
'cause his wedding was last year
and he didn't invite us on purpose.
Brianna did not tell me,
"I'm not inviting Danya and Marwan
because of the problem."
She said that "Danya has an issue
with Zeina, and I don't want problems."
[both] So do you.
-So do you.
-So do you.
The whole world, including Ebraheem,
see a whole different side of Kris.,
He's very good at doing this.
The radio guy always smiling, always loud,
but the side that I know
is a completely different side.
I need some answers.
-He needs an explanation.
-Talk together. Fix it out.
You know, I got your back.
It's time to put the peacemaker aside,
and it's time to get down
to facts and get the truth out.
[slow music playing]
[Safa] How are you finding the resort?
It's very nice, but I haven't seen
any of, uh, the other people.
Who else is here? Is everyone here?
-I don't know. Did LJ arrive?
-Yeah, I think she's here.
-She came alone?
-Hmm, I think she came alone.
I know that, uh,
LJ had someone serious.
But I don't see her
with him in public often.
Maybe they have issues. I don't know.
[dramatic music playing]
It's a bit, uh, on the hush-hush side.
Did you see Farhana?
I think I saw her passing
by the lobby. Why?
You didn't see her Birkin?
-No.
-It's obviously borrowed.
[dramatic music playing]
I don't know, like Farhana walking around
with a Birkin in a dust bag.
That's not how you carry Birkins.
No, honey, you carry it with pride.
You want everyone to see
you're carrying that Birkin.
Did you see Bliss and Danya's
borrowed car?
I saw him lingering around the boot,
'cause he didn't know how to close it.
-Because it is obviously rented. [laughs]
-What? What?
I cannot relate to these people.
Honestly, it's not the cars.
It's not the jewelry.
If people only respect me
because my car is the latest model,
then to hell with them all.
It's going to be weird, right?
Seeing Danya after so long, and
How do you feel?
[softly] I don't care.
-But it is going to be interesting.
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
-Are they gonna say hi?
-They not gonna say hi?
-What are you gonna do if they do?
It depends on the "Hi,"
how fake the "Hi" is gonna be.
They have a big ego.
Their ego blinds them.
I doubt that they'll say hi to me.
I really don't understand why LO is, uh
bringing everybody together like this.
-Knowing what she knows, it's fine.
-Yeah, it's fine.
I'm not gonna tell people,
"You can be friends"
That's not the concept.
-My thinking
-But you do that to me.
-You are different.
-You always do it to me.
[mockingly] "Why are you friends
with Ebraheem?
Why did you say hello to Danya?"
You're the closest person to me.
I can't expect LO to take the same stance.
-Yeah.
-So, you were part of the whole drama.
[Safa] After seeing Ebraheem,
I feel like I've done something
so bad, and I just
That guilt. Oh, my God, it's horrible.
I am dying to tell her.
But I don't think
she's gonna be understanding.
[slow music playing]
["Wasa3 Wasa3" playing]
It's time for the dinner
LO has invited us to.
I'm happy that Hanna managed to make it.
Hello!
-How are you?
-I'm fine.
[song continues]
I haven't seen everyone for a while.
It was the first time we've
all come together after a few months.
Hamda couldn't make it because
she's from a very conservative family.
She doesn't attend events
where men and women socialize together.
-[Hanna] Hi, Ebraheem.
-[Lojain] Hi, Ebraheem.
[Ebraheem] Hey, hey, hey.
-[Lojain] How are you?
-Good. How are you?
When Ebraheem walked in,
I didn't really want to say hello
because when I'm hiding something,
I can't really hide it very well.
I didn't wanna risk it.
-Hi.
-Hey.
[Zeina] Ebraheem gets flustered
when he sees me.
He tries to avoid me,
and I can't blame him.
I'd avoid me if I was him.
-[chuckles softly]
-[scoffs]
[all] Hi!
Oh, my God. I love this.
It's beautiful. How is it going?
[Ebraheem] Good. You?
[hip-hop song playing]
[Safa] Zeina. Zeina.
What was the theme in her head?
When LO invited us to this event,
she told us like glitz and glam,
I didn't realize that she thought
it was a circus theme.
-[Danya] As-salamu alaykum.
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Hi, everybody.
["Wasa3 Wasa3" playing]
I am so excited to see them
all at the same table.
But I'm keeping a lighter
in my bag, just in case.
If anyone disrespects anyone
and things get heated,
I'll give them the lighter
and let it burn.
-Hello.
-Hey!
[Lojain] Good evening, everyone.
-Thank you so much for coming.
-You look beautiful.
Thank you.
Lojain Omran, when she walks into a room.
There she is. She's entered.
I'll sit here.
[Lojain] Given the situation,
I thought I'd sit in the middle
so as not to be siding
with A against B or B against A.
I'm friends with them all,
and I respect everyone equally.
[glass clinks]
So, first of all,
I want to thank you all for coming.
Since the New Year,
we didn't have this gathering.
And I know it's a new year,
new goals, new targets
and a new version of us,
which is a better version than last year.
Do you agree, all of you?
-Hope so.
-[Safa] Yes.
I was happy with how I was last year.
[all laughing]
We're friends at the end.
[Zeina] We can't call them
all close friends.
This is a group of people
that sometimes have to tolerate each other
because there are people in common
that think it's a good idea
to put them all together.
[Bliss] Let's keep it real this year.
I think, like, Lojain is really
the only person at this table
who is loved by everyone,
like did this for me?
Love you all, guys.
[Kris] Who doesn't love me?
[all laughing]
-Who is missing?
-Two dear friends.
They will join us
and they will arrive any minute.
[Bliss] Oh no. Like, who could
these two people be?
All I'm thinking is like,
are they going to be
on the left team, our team,
or are they going to be
on the right team, on their team?
Okay, there's something blinging from far.

My husband, Hassan,
is definitely my calming force.
He's a dream come true.

-Uh, restroom.
So during dinner,
I realized that, like, I had some message
that I needed to give Fahad.
-You finished your dinner?
-Huh?
-You finished your dinner?
-Yeah.
[comical music playing]
-What?
-[Safa] What?
The baby's two months.
I was expecting my push present
at the delivery room.
And Fahad hasn't given me anything.
I can't wait anymore.
I want my push present now.
Typical Fahad, he hasn't even noticed.
He's just sitting there.
He doesn't pay attention to these things.
[indistinct chatter]
[Fahad] What the
-What does it say?
-"Push present."
Well, you get the hint, finally!
If I don't do it like this,
he'll never get the fucking hint.
I am materialistic,
but I'm also sentimental.
Like, I need that push present.
Time's ticking.
Wait. You didn't get her a push present?
-How many months has it been?
-[Safa] Two and a half.
Two and half months,
and you look this amazing?
-God bless.
-Should give me tips!
Oh, my gosh! That's super exciting!
Now I don't know what to get for you.
I'm clueless what gift to buy her?
Jewelry? She has so much.
If I buy her a car, we have so many.
So, I don't know.
-Is there anything that you need?
-Why can't he think of anything?
-Don't try and suggest an apartment again.
-Okay. No apartment.
[laughs]
Safa likes the attention.
And Fahad is probably too busy now.
The poor guy must have to work hard
to keep up with her spending.
-Isn't he pushing it?
-He's pushing it?
He want to bring you something
-that 100% you'll like.
-[Safa] But he's not.
Such a pressing problem.
She's upset with me
for visiting her two months late?
Unacceptable, Fahad.
The whole pregnancy thing is super hard,
so a gift of appreciation,
because men don't have to do anything.
Fahad had his tooth removed,
and he was actually comparing his tooth
to my C-section.
He's all like, "Baby, I'm in pain."
I can't move.

-[Danya] Now?
-I need to tell you something. Come.
I really didn't want
to make anyone jealous or angry,
so I signaled them
to tell them about the surprise.
At that moment, I thought to myself,
"Ebraheem, what have you done?"
"Ebraheem, you have to remember."
-So, guys, we have a groom.
-Yes.
-We want to celebrate him, but in my way.
-Yes.
I have a surprise that I want
to give Ebraheem before his wedding.
Prepare yourself, guys. We'll go to Saudi.
-[gasps] Oh, my God!
-Oh, yes, to my country.
[Safa] What's happening there?
What's happening there?
Who knows? Maybe they talk about us.
-[cheering] This is amazing.
-[Ebraheem] It's a dream come true.
There is nothing better than going
with LO to visit her own country.
I'm sure that she will
show us a great time.
We'll go to AlUla.
-Oh, wow!
-[Farhana] Oh, my God!
I always wanted to go.
I always wanted to go.
-This is gonna be so much fun.
-Amazing.
We are going to celebrate
Ebraheem getting married.
I'm so excited!
-I'm feel like I'm dreaming.
-Don't make me cry. Okay?
I'm so happy to take a break from it all.
With the wedding planning,
I want to step away, and relax.
Can I call LJ to give her the good news?
LJ, we need you over here.
-LJ, we need you here.
-[Ebraheem] LJ? LJ?
Wherever I go,
they call me "LJ. LJ." [laughs]
So, of course, they called me
to go sit with them. [chuckles]
-Free up your schedule, next week.
-[Lojain] Mm-hmm.
-We we are taking you to AlUla.
-Really?
-Yay! I'm excited.
-Guess for what?
-I've always wanted to go to AlUla.
-Yes. But why?
-Guess for what?
-For what?
To celebrate our groom.
-[Lojain] Aw!
-See? Your loss, someone else's gain.
[all laughing]
But I like you as a friend better.
[laughs] Look at her
And I wasn't even think about Ebraheem.
I was just thinking
"What do I wear?"
The night is still young,
and I have a different setting prepared,
a different atmosphere.
Let's say, a different game.
I took them to my villa.
We had a nice Arabian setting.
We lit the fire.
[indistinct chatter]
[indistinct]
[Lojain] Guys.
My girlfriends and I have this tradition.
We write down all the bad stuff
that we regret.
We burn the papers
so they don't happen again.
Each one of us
can write down what they regret
from last year and we'll throw it
into the fire and burn it.
You usually play these games
with, uh, closed circles.
I feel like I would be open to share
deeper secrets and deeper regrets maybe.

or on us trying to have a baby.
My main regret is probably not spending
enough quality time with, uh, the family.
I don't really think Kris regrets
what he did over the years.
I'm wondering now if he knows what he did.
My biggest regret last year was probably
not paying enough attention to my wife.
[Farhana] Aw
I want to, like, this year,
put myself first
and just self-love
and love myself, and that's it.
Yeah.
I've always tried to support
everybody else's dreams,
but now I'm trying
to focus on myself.
I wanna spend time with my kids
because they need their mother.
And, also, I want to try something new,
doing more of the things
I'm passionate about in my life.
[all clapping]
I regret not having Ayana earlier.
This is so crazy because this time
last year, I wasn't ready for a baby.
Unbelievable, actually.
Just how things turned out.
There's one thing I regret
is not having another baby
so that Aydin could have had
a baby brother or a sister.
Fahad.
So today is my mom's eighth,
uh, death anniversary.
She was sick for about a year or two.
She was undergoing dialysis.
It was a painful period.
I used to shuttle up and down.
I didn't get to spend time with her.
Those are the regrets
I have. That's it. [cries]
-[Hassan] We love you.
-[all exclaiming]
[Hassan] Love you, man.
If I had known, or could go back in time,
I would've left everything
and just been with her all the time.
-My God. That was so deep.
-Yeah.
[emotional music playing]
My darling, Fahad.
This year I decided
to put myself first,
and everyone else comes second.
I'll continue to give, but I come first.
[all clapping]
This year is the plan to make
some more dreams come true,
and spend more time
with, uh, Hanna and the family.
When Zeina spoke,
I had a lot I wanted to say.
I regret
getting involved in drama
that I shouldn't even have been in.
And I do regret taking Danya
to Zeina's office,
and I just wish that didn't happen.
And hopefully now,
I'll delete it out once and for all.
Maybe Zeina wouldn't have been
so angry had it been the two of us.
That's why I regret it.
Words, words, words.
His regret is about his own image.
He's not even sorry that he hurt me.
He's not
[suspenseful music playing]
[Safa] After I heard everybody's regrets
Fahad come with me.
Help me. I want to go to the washroom.
I have this massive regret on me.
And I just can't keep it
to myself anymore.
I need to tell Fahad.
Oh, my God, Fahad. I'm feeling so heavy.
-What happened?
-I'm feeling really, like, heavy-hearted.
What happened, my love?
I went with, uh, Ebraheem.
Why? He is the reason of all the problems.
He wanted to know like Oh.
Look, first of all, Zeina knows nothing.
Number two, I wanted to hear him out.
-This thing is, now I'm feeling shit.
-You have to tell her.
I know. I wanna tell her, babe.
But I just feel
like she is going to overreact.
Zeina has a problem even that
we still follow each other on Instagram.
So, imagine she knows
I've gone and met him.
I'm not ready to tell Zeina,
because sometimes
I think Zeina is a little hard.
And she will feel that
I betrayed her in a way.
But you have to speak to her.
You have to speak.
That's the right thing to do.
[dramatic music playing]
[inaudible]
What the fuck! Why was she there?
-I don't know.
-Why was she there?
[all laughing]
She heard what I said?
She's going to go around
and start saying stuff
and not giving my side of the story,
and I'm gonna look bad.
Farhana, if this comes out,
you'll have to deal with me.
[all laughing]
