To Tea, or Not to Tea?

1
-[Kris] I'm out.
-[Marwan] Why you running?
I've got my mom on the phone. Hello?
I'm not going to let him
just run away again.
-What's up?
-I want to talk to you.
-Go ahead.
-You want to come inside?
-No. I've got to run.
-You want to do it here?
-What do you need?
-To talk to you.
Go ahead!
It's never a good situation
when you're surprising someone.
I feel like there's a problem and I want
to ask you what this problem is.
-Don't bring this up on the camera.
-I do!
You don't want to bring this up on camera.
I won't put myself in that I won't
I've worked hard in my career.
I don't fight against anyone.
[Marwan] Why are you running away?
Don't make it more than it needs to be.
Have some of your own humility
and grace, brother.
Dude, I want a man-to-man talk.
That's all I want.
I'll do it without
the cameras around, brother.
I tried to, but you'd run away
every time I tried.
That's our conversation.
I tried years ago to reach out.
He didn't want to talk.
I tried to come see you, peacefully,
didn't want to talk.
'Cause he doesn't want to face the facts.
Everything everyone says
about you is now true,
and you're showcasing it to everyone.
I am respectful. I will not
talk negatively about a person.
-Just have some of your own respect.
-I'm trying to have a man-to-man talk.
You're an absolute joke.
I don't understand why
you're not having this talk.
You're trying to get all the 15 minutes
of fame. Do you need it?
You don't need it, mate.
You've got a great career ahead.
-Thank you
-Don't come out looking like that.
You think you're gonna get into something
to become famous and be successful?
Guess what, it's not gonna happen.
I'm telling you now.
Bro, I'm trying to find out
what the problem is.
I didn't come and accuse you of anything.
I want you to explain to me what's been
going on. That's all I want.
He has been an obstacle in my career.
I need answers. I need an explanation.
There you go.
People talk, and they point
their fingers at you.
I want to tell you the stories,
and I want you to clear it out for me.
I don't need to do that.
You don't mean that much.
-Thank you.
-You're not a huge thing in my life.
Whoever is saying whatever you want,
I'm okay with that. That's fine.
It's that,
it's not showing up to the single
release party, not showing support,
it's, uh, publicly not inviting us
to your wedding,
and, like, making a statement about it.
Actions speak louder than words.
It's pretty obvious now
what kind of person he is.
Remember I said,
"Would you help me with the show?"
-Are you going to help me?
-No.
Why is that?
I'm doing a hundred things.
I don't even know what the show is.
I've got nothing to do with it.
[Marwan] I've got this big concert
coming up at Coca-Cola Arena.
It's the first time a local DJ
is doing a headline show.
It would be great
if you were part of telling
the whole community about this.
I'm trying to make it in my city,
but there's a guy who's not supporting me.
If you need help, let me know.
If you need money, I've got money.
[laughs] If you want to be petty,
I can be petty, too.
I don't know what you want me
I'm trying to be respectful,
you be respectful, too.
I don't need anyone's money.
This event is confirmed, it's happening,
paid for, done, ready to go.
I just wanted to see
who was real and who was fake.
Fahad turned out to be
the realest one of all.
Why didn't you give me a heads-up
yesterday, say you were coming here?
Because he
Because I feel like, now you're using me
to meet him, bro.
I didn't know that Kris and Bliss
had history.
FAHAD SIDDIQUI
If he wanted to meet Kris, he could've
given me a heads-up. You don't show up.
If you went through what I went through,
you'd understand.
Like, look at that. Run away!
Best way, sometimes, to settle
a confrontation that may be coming,
is just to get up and leave.
And that's the bigger man
that has to do that.
Can't run away forever!
I gave you enough.
All I really wanted
was a sit-down, and you
-God bless, brother!
-And you left.
-I gave you enough.
-You did it again, same thing, 12 years.
No comment.
[engine revs]
DUBAI BLING
["Keify Keda" playing]
[singing in Arabic]
It's our second day in AlUla.
We woke up early and went ziplining.
LOUJAIN ADADAH - "LJ"
We arrived at the zipline.
It's a new adventure.
LOJAIN OMRAN - "LO"
I'm so excited.
I was mad that Danya was mad at me.
EBRAHEEM AL-SAMADI
DANYA MOHAMMED
[Danya] I'm mad at Ebraheem.
I think it's a nice thing to go ziplining,
to just get over what happened last night.
Before we go, I need to talk to you.
-To me?
-Yeah.
[Ebraheem] Salem and I had bad feelings.
I'm mad at him because
he talked about Danya.
So, I took him aside.
I wanted to clear things up.
-Something you did upset me.
-Why?
You said something about me and Danya.
I am so sick of it.
Again it's always Danya's issue!
SALEM KHAMMAS
-You care about me as a brother?
-Yeah.
Why discuss it in front of everyone?
I didn't mean to embarrass you,
or to offend you.
But it was wrong.
Ebraheem, I only care about
your best interests.
Do you have a problem with Danya?
Look, Ebraheem, my brother.
Please listen to me.
I told you before about Danya.
She's clueless,
she knows nothing about business.
-What did you say?
-Clueless.
The word "clueless" is used to describe
someone who has no clue about something.
So when I said Danya was clueless,
I meant she's clueless about business.
-By "clueless" I mean
-Idiot?
I mean like "uninformed."
Don't mention Danya's name again!
-Ebraheem, please listen to me.
-Never again!
-Don't shout.
-Never!
The mere fact that the word "Danya"
came out of his mouth, was enough for me.
-It shouldn't come to this, buddy.
-Don't talk to me! Don't! Enough!
Mention her name again,
you'll get what's coming to you!
Oh, really?
I have no idea what is going on right now.
What is Salem saying about me
that bothered Ebraheem so much
that he's fighting with him?
-This is all wrong.
-Apologize!
Don't raise your voice.
Don't raise it. Don't.
What the hell? You're yelling
at me in public, in front of everyone?
Me? Salem Khammas?
Didn't expect that from you.
Leave Danya out of it!
I already have a problem
with someone because of Danya.
-No one should talk about her.
-People can defend themselves.
-You don't have to.
-I'll defend her!
-Listen!
-He doesn't listen.
When Ebraheem defended me,
even though Salem is his friend,
that showed his loyalty to me,
and how he's a true friend,
and he's always gonna have my back.
Can we drop it, please?
Enough, please.
Let's enjoy our time and have fun.
Ebraheem overreacted a bit.
But regardless of the reason why,
if you guys have a problem,
you have to work it out in private,
not in front of everyone.
I'm never going to travel with you again!
This is the last time I do this.
So, we settled down.
We were there to enjoy ourselves.
I know that this was a loss of reason.
That's beneath him,
and beneath someone with my status.
[upbeat music plays]
I can't do it! No!
[yells]
I love you, Danya!
I don't care about Safa!
-[Salem] Allahu Akbar!
-Yeah!
The trip was amazing.
Personally, I had a great time.
And my lovely gang had a great time, too.
And that was my main goal.
-We did it!
-[all cheer]
The trip was amazing. It was one of
the best experiences I've ever had.
Now, it's time for reality. I need
to get back to get ready for the milcha.
[birds squawk]
[upbeat music plays]
[meows]
Be careful with me
That's how I do it, yeah ♪
[Brianna] Today, I'm with Kris,
Noushie and Kikki his girls,
and Mona's going to join us
to see the new house.
Now that Dubai is home
BRIANNA FADE
this is the first home
that we buy together.
I'm just so excited to have
that family that I've always wanted,
and I can't wait.
That's how I do it
Yeah, that's how I do it ♪
Today, I'm super excited.
MONA KATTAN
I'm finally going to visit Kris
and Brianna's new house,
and I am so happy for them.
The whole thing's gonna change.
Front of the house will look different,
the side will look different.
-I'm so proud of you.
-Thank you.
Mona and I always bounce things
off each other,
so I wanted to tell her about
the incident with Bliss and what happened.
So, we went with Fahad.
We're getting a fake tattoo
to prank Safa for a push present.
It was just him and I, and then, Bliss
just rocked up, uninvited, unannounced.
-What?
-It was like, what's going on?
We had a discussion, back and forth.
Was he coming to try and make it something
negative? Or was he coming to say hi?
He's putting on an event,
I'm not 100% sure,
and he's asking Fahad for cash.
He was asking me for help.
But he just sort of kept asking,
and those messages that
-Was it confrontational?
-Little bit, I think.
I think it was.
I don't like confrontations.
-I know.
-I want good energy around me.
That's the opposite of who you are.
I personally have nothing against Bliss,
I mean, he's always been really nice,
but I also have so much love for Kris.
I think it would be best for Kris
just to protect his energy,
and avoid situations that
aren't going to add any value to his life.
I didn't want to be there.
He's a good guy, does what he has to do,
but him and I are different circles,
I don't want that association.
All I would focus on if I was you,
you're not gonna renovate a house
many times in your life.
Put your heart and soul into this.
-I will.
-Give no time for anything else.
Mona always helps with that advice.
She's always about having
good energy around you, as I am.
-What do you call it?
-Juju.
-Juju! I want good juju!
-You need good juju everywhere.
Yeah!
So, we had a look at the house with Mona,
because she's got a really good eye
when it comes to design.
So, the last room,
we had said that this could
potentially be a guestroom.
Okay.
But I want it obviously to be a nursery.
-Oh, really?
-Yeah.
Brianna, she's ready
to have a baby yesterday.
-You know me.
-Already?
-[laughs]
-Yes!
Hmm. Well, I don't know.
I just think it's a little bit early.
She's not pregnant yet.
I can picture it now.
I can picture an office here.
Yeah, it's going to be a nursery.
I already know it.
You have a lot of time.
-Yeah.
-Do I? I don't know.
-You're so young!
-You're so young.
-I'm not that young!
-She's so young!
Don't go there.
You're gonna make me feel old.
No. I'm not okay with that.
Like, we are still young, you have time.
Take it easy. Relax.
Why don't you guys show me your rooms?
Show me what you guys picked out.
[Brianna] Nobody is really in my shoes.
So, they don't understand
exactly how I feel.
I mean, it's what I want.
So, I'm kind of tired
of people telling me I'm young.
'Cause I don't feel like that, personally.
If it's not happening, maybe, okay,
in the next couple of months, then, we
-Sure.
-Then, we go to the doctor's and
Whatever makes you comfortable,
I'm happy to do.
We can check in a couple of months
and get it done.
Yeah, please.
Brianna is a really committed woman.
She's doing all she can
to make sure that she falls pregnant.
And I respect her for it, but I don't want
the process to be a chore.
[upbeat music plays]
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Lately, I have a lot going on,
and I'm at home, with the two kids.
After Danya came from AlUla,
she's out, you know,
working on her new cafe idea,
and it's been happening a lot.
-Oh! I got it!
-[laughs]
Oh, whoa, whoa.
Never back down, I'm a fighter ♪
Hello! Hi!
What are you guys doing?
Can I get a hug? Hi, Marwan.
-[Marwan] Hi. How are you?
-[Zayed] Daddy.
-How are you? Come.
-Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa!
-Okay. [laughs]
-Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!
I have an amazing relationship with
my kids, and I have work as well.
But I still manage
to spend time with them,
and she often misses
those moments with us.
Sorry, I was out. Like,
I have to tell you all about it.
It was, like, crazy. So much is happening.
-Yeah.
-I'm so excited!
You know what's crazy
and what's happening?
Like, me and these kids.
I'm tired.
-Of what?
-Of looking after the kids all day.
You don't enjoy it?
I do, but it would be great to have help.
What do you mean? I'm always here.
Zayed, who's always here? Mommy or Daddy?
Daddy.
Ready to sleep?
[Danya] My kids, they're growing up.
Now it's time to un-hold
all the things that I wanted to do,
and start working on my dreams.
If the opportunity's there
and you're capable, why wait?
[coughs]
-You want bokhour?
-No. You know I'm allergic, right?
I felt there was some tension
in the room, and some negativity.
So I thought let the incense
come and, like,
calm down the situation, hopefully.
Why don't you open up about how you're
feeling, instead of giving me attitude?
Basically, you were out all day.
I have my career. I have this event
I'm doing. I have a million things.
Literally, right? And then,
you leave me to go do stuff
that you thought was a good idea,
which I supported you on,
but I told you, it was going to be
a difficult situation
-What are you talking about?
-This cafe you're doing with Ebraheem.
Was there a need to do it right now?
Was this the right time to do it?
But when is the right time?
I don't know,
but these kids need their mom.
-I'm there for them. I'm always there.
-Not enough.
I think when it comes to Bliss,
he can go out, he can do his business,
he can do all these projects,
and I don't complain about it.
But when it comes to me,
I have to be superwoman.
I have to take care of the house,
take care of the kids,
and put my dreams on hold. Why?
I work late nights as a DJ, I wake up
in the morning, I'm still doing stuff
You don't wake up in the morning.
I'm the one that wakes up.
Who drives the kids off in the morning?
-Me!
-Are you kidding?
-No, I'm serious.
-No, seriously, stop.
-You're being stubborn.
-This is not true at all.
I want to be the supportive husband.
I want her to achieve her dreams.
But I do have my reservations about
whether she is going
to be able to maintain
taking care of the house
and starting a new business.

Hi!

What is everybody
Holding up the wall for? ♪
How was AlUla?
We had a great time.
It was just magical and, uh
Family. Family vacation.
No. Yeah, it
Honestly, I felt that we were family,
because we were staying at the same villa,
we did activities together.
How did the trip come about?
It was, "boom!"
Lojain Omran invited us.
-Oh, really?
-To celebrate Ebraheem.
Why? Is everything okay with Ebraheem?
-He's getting married.
-Ah! Okay!
That's interesting.
[clicks tongue]
I felt I was in Mars. It was
In Mars because of the nature,
or the people you were with?
-People? What's wrong with the people?
-[chuckles] No, nothing!
Zeina makes comments
that are meaningless and lame.
Zeina, take it easy
with the mean comments.
[Zeina] LJ, tell us more. What happened?
By the way, Danya is so sweet.
I got to know Danya more
when we were at AlUla.
Danya now became a closer friend to me.
It's too bad she didn't
show me her sweet side.
This is sweet.
I really don't see Danya
as a purely bad person.
But my personal experience
with her was bad.
-So, what else is new with you?
-I wanted to do something new.
So, I thought about, uh, working
in a restaurant as a waitress.
-I love this idea!
-That restaurant is gonna be busy!
-I agree!
-[chuckles]
LJ waitressing? It was a bit funny,
If she's bored and wants to try
something new, it's totally fine.
You're gonna make lots of tips.
I don't know if she could find a job.
I don't think she has a CV. [chuckles]
My first job was actually a waitress.
-Really? Oh my God!
-I was 14 years old.
-How was it?
-For three years.
-It was the best experience of my life.
-Oh, my God, I love you.
I'm so doing it now,
especially since Wadih
found the job for me.
It's like a challenge now.
["Célavie" playing]
Yeah! Oh! ♪
[song continues playing]
After we came back from AlUla, Danya and I
decided to go get our nails done,
and to catch up on the latest gossip.
Did you relax after the trip?
Very much. I needed to.
I needed a break,
a vacation from the vacation.
The trip allowed me
to get to know Danya better.
I think more highly of her now.
When I opened the subject of
me and Ebraheem opening the coffee shop,
Marwan says Ebraheem and I
are in our friendship honeymoon phase,
and this will not stay forever,
and once we start
a business together, it's going to fail.
Marwan is just worried about you.
Instead of Bliss encouraging me
and supporting me,
he's bringing me down by telling me
I need to stay at home.
-You have to be very independent.
-True.
We never know
what will happen in the future.
Don't rely on your husband
to make your dreams come true.
-[Danya] Mm-hmm. Exactly.
-My husband is very fond of yours.
He sings his praises all the time.
I got married, and I have
a very happy and stable life.
I didn't mean to keep it a secret,
I just didn't share the news.
I get jealous. [laughs]
And by the way,
my George Clooney is supportive of me.
-That's so cute!
-I swear, he's my sweetheart.
He might not be George Clooney,
but to me, he's my George Clooney.
That's why this is his nickname now.
He's my Clooney.
We fell in love
because of his way of thinking.
He never said, "I don't want you to work,"
"You're late." "You're always traveling."
And lately, I have been traveling
a lot for work.
I'm happy that my husband supports me,
and that he encourages me.
He says, "Yes, you have more to give
and a lot to offer. So don't give up."
By the way, Safa wants to host an event.
It celebrates the fact that females
have become a majority in the house now.
-[chuckles] Okay.
-Okay?
-But the dress code is black leather.
-That's so weird.
It doesn't work. I expected it to be pink.
Yeah, if it's girly, it should be like
pastel colors at least, or something cute.
But maybe she's trying to make
a statement, I don't know.
Safa's invitation is a social courtesy,
I don't have to attend.
Did she write on the invitation,
"Bring a Birkin as a gift"?

There will never be a moment
When I call it quits ♪
Tonight, I'm working in my basement,
and just trying on my samples
for one of my biggest collections
that are coming up.
I make a lot of money
and I flaunt it ♪
My perfume basement is my sanctuary
where I go just to unwind and relax,
and to be there and appreciate
all these beautiful works of art.
It's not as bad, I do what I want ♪
-How are you, Baba? I miss you.
-Always working here, huh?
-How are you doing?
-Good?
-I love you.
-Yeah.
IBRAHIM KATTAN
-How are you doing?
-Good. Let's see it.
-You want to smell my bokhour?
-Yeah. This your bokhour?
This is something I'm working on.
This is one of the ones I love.
Smell it. Let me know what you think.
Ever since I created Kayali,
my dad has been heavily involved.
He helps me try all the samples.
He actually loves perfume,
and he's really good at giving feedback.
Mm. Very good. Very good.
I have a big year ahead of me. This year,
we're launching eight fragrances.
-My goodness!
-I'm stressed.
But I feel really excited,
and I'm focusing on my own dreams
more than everybody else's, you know?
-So I'm really excited.
-Great.
You remember,
I've been telling you forever
I want to be more independent,
and I really feel like
all my distractions are out of the way,
and I feel like now that
I'm trying to do this myself,
I have so much more clarity now.
So, I think
that I need to be the visionary,
I need to, like, make my dream happen.
And to do that,
I need to have independence.
-Kayali's still part of Huda Beauty.
-Yeah.
To get out of that is not easy.
You need to be careful with Huda.
Having one floor entirely for Kayali
was the first step.
Actually, Huda also wants you
to build your Kayali.
-Yeah, of course.
-Yeah.
-So, slowly, you will get independent.
-Yeah.
When we first launched my perfume brand,
I was trying to push Huda
to do it with me,
and because I was so codependent,
I let it hold me back to a point where
I almost killed the brand.
And thank God, I just had a wakeup call.
I saved it. I saved it from dying.
[tearfully] Sorry,
I'm getting a bit emotional. [sniffles]
It was tough.
I wanted to give up, but I didn't.
Thank God. You know?
I remember, you and Huda, very close.
-You forced us to do everything together.
-[laughing]
So, I know the personality is different,
but, I think one complements each other.
I just feel like
I miss being Huda's sister.
It's like, now, every time
we spend time together,
it's all revolved around work.
Me and Huda disagree a lot of the time.
It causes a lot of differences,
and sometimes, a lot of drama.
That's another thing I'm excited about,
just having this independence.
Workwise, I think it'll help us have
a better sister relationship.
I am Mona, and I need to be treated
as a separate person,
and an individual.
Tell me about when you will have baby.
-I want to be a grandfather again.
-[both laugh]
This is my baby!
-This has taken me five years, so
-[laughs]
I don't need this question after this
long conversation. I need a hug. [laughs]
-I love you, Daddy.
-You are fully supported
by Daddy, and by everybody.
Thank you, you're so cute.
I just feel so much better now,
after speaking to Dad,
and letting him know how I'm feeling.
-And I want my whole family to
-I love you, Mona.
not only be okay with it,
but to celebrate it,
and to support my dreams
as I've been for all of theirs.
Tonight is the celebration of my milcha.
[festive music plays]
A milcha is the marriage contract.
After this, it will be okay for me to be
with Hamdah, religiously speaking.
It's a first step towards
the actual wedding.
I'm so excited to celebrate
my brother's milcha.
I'm going to support him and Hamdah,
because that's what families do.
[Salem] Peace be upon you.
Both families attend the milcha.
I'll be sitting in one room,
Hamdah in another.
[ululating]
[Lojain] Congratulations!
Finally! I've heard
so much about you, sweetheart.
HAMDAH
Oh, Hamdah is so sweet.
God bless this marriage,
and may He grant you happiness.
God bless her.
They'll have a wonderful life.
Congratulations, friend. God bless.
Salem is a precious brother,
I wouldn't want to lose him.
I'm grateful he let it slide,
and he didn't hold a grudge.
May you always be with us,
he's intolerable otherwise.
HOSNY AL-SAMADI
-Really?
-Yeah, he's a troublemaker.
[laughs]
Today, we're celebrating Ebraheem.
We wish him all the best.
This is a new chapter in his life.
And although we had
a small disagreement before,
I decided to attend the celebration,
and to stand by my brother on that day.
I hope my actions will help clear
any bad feelings
that might remain between us.
[laughing]
[indistinct chatter]
A sheikh is always present.
This sheikh will say the designated words
to make her my wife.
Say after me, Ebraheem.
-"I accept
-"I accept
-"to marry
-"to marry
-"your sister, Hamdah
-"your sister, Hamdah
[both] "according to the Book of God,
"and the way of His Prophet.
"Peace and Blessings be upon him
-"for the dowry
-"for the dowry
-that we have agreed upon."
-that we have agreed upon."
[sheikh] Congratulations.
God bless you both.
According to our customs, I can't see
the bride at the milcha without her hijab,
until the sheikh's paperwork is done.
Which means I need to sign,
she needs to sign,
then the mahram signs.
The mahram is her brother.
[ululating]
KHADEJAH DOWD
She's finally my wife.
I felt very happy and excited
for him and her.
I'm not gaining a daughter-in-law,
I'm gaining a daughter.
-Are you proud of me?
-Yes.
[stirring music plays]
[Ebraheem] My father's presence
at the milcha was important to me.
A very beautiful day. I made my dad happy,
I made my mom happy,
I made Hamdah happy, and I was happy.
[Marwan] I saw a different side
of Ebraheem.
The emotions that I saw
from his dad to him, like,
it just got me.
[upbeat festive music plays]
[ululating]
I wish the two of you a life
full of happiness, love, and roses.
After I gave her the wedding gift,
I could see my wife without the hijab.
I felt like it's the moment of truth.
["Enti El Asas" A5rass playing]
The minute I saw her,
my heart started racing.
I said, "This is my wife."
[song continues in Arabic]
Thank God the milcha went well,
and now, all that is left is our big day.
The milcha was beautiful,
and I can't wait for the wedding day.
Whoa ♪
Start ♪
[singer laughs]
Whoops ♪
I'm coming to cause this chaos ♪
Yeah, I'm gonna wish
There was a séance ♪
-I'm gonna do what I want ♪
-What? ♪
Being a waitress is something
I used to admire
when I used to go to a restaurant.
Wadih helped me find a job,
and my first day is today.
Hi. How are you?
The manager greeted me
and gave me my uniform.
-I have small and extra small.
-I'm extra small.
I have to wear it. I don't even know
what it's gonna look like, so [laughs]
-Hi!
-Hello, LJ.
-Hi! How are you?
-[all] Hi!
-Welcome!
-Thank you!
You know, I'm a beginner.
It's my first time, so
-First you're gonna stay with Rose.
-Do I need a notepad and a pen?
We're gonna give you the notepad,
everything you need.
-Let's start!
-Let's start.
-Come on, good!
-[laughs]
I have a lot of potential,
and I'm a very fast learner.
[both laugh]
[upbeat music plays]
-It's actually simple.
-You'll get used to it.
-Yeah. Oops!
-Oops!
Uh, what would you like?
Since it's my first day as a waitress,
I'm focusing on my job,
trying to learn,
and enjoying this experience.
I spoke to Wadih, and he gave me
the address of LJ's new job.
So, Safa and I went there to surprise her.
I can't believe she's waiting
on these tables.
I'm nervous for her.
I needed to see LJ waitressing
to believe it.
SAFA SIDDIQUI
[Mona] LJ!
-Hi!
-Oh, my God!
I was like, "Oh!"
-You guys are here?
-Yes, we're here!
[Loujain] I had no idea
they were gonna be there.
I was happy to see them,
because it's my first day,
and it was a lovely surprise.
So, this is Sorry.
Does she have someone
helping her with drinks?
I think she does. [laughs]
-Is that normal in waitressing?
-No.
It's the first time in my life
I have seen a waitress
with an assistant.
-Hi!
-[both] Hi!
I'm going to be your waitress for tonight.
-Nice!
-So exciting!
-My name is LJ. [giggles]
-[Mona] Hi, LJ!
-I'll have the strudel.
-[Mona] Perfect.
-We're going to have
-Strudel?
Safa's gonna have the strudel,
and I'm gonna have the Tokyo Lee.
She's reading the menu
at the same time we're reading the menu,
as if it's the first time.
Sorry! [laughing]
Oh! It's hilarious!
By the way, are you coming to my event?
Yes, of course!
Tomorrow, I'm doing
my women's domination event.
The Siddiqui household
is female-dominated.
And it's about us as women.
We can be, we can wear,
we can do whatever we want.
-I wouldn't miss it for the world.
-[Safa] Yay!
-Where is my drink?
-Yeah.
-[mutters indistinctly]
-I am really thirsty.
Our drinks are taking forever to come.
LJ! Where are you? Hello! [laughs]
Would it be rude if I went, got the drink,
and hid it when she comes back?
Go, get it.
-Think I should?
-Yeah.
Should we go together?
I'm so thirsty, like
We don't want to insult her,
make her feel she wasn't doing her job,
especially that it was her first day,
but she wasn't doing her job.
Is it locked?
-Oh, shit! Is it?
-[laughing]
-Oh, no! It's locked!
-[laughing]
Oh, my God! We're stuck!
Why is it locked?
We need the secret code!
[chuckles] Yeah.
[laughing]
Oh, it's terrible!
Let's run back before she comes!
It's unnecessary to offend her.
-The strudel.
-Strudel.
-And then, orange juice for the other guy.
-Yeah.
-Hi, girls!
-Hi!
So, this is the Tokyo Lee.
Okay.
-Thank you.
-This is the strudel.
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.
To be honest, I got a bit tired,
because I've never worked
four hours with no break.
-Can I try your drink?
-Sure.
-It's really good.
-[laughs]
Yeah, that really upset me
[laughs] by the way.
Did she really drink my drink? [laughs]
I though I was hallucinating,
I'm not gonna lie. But I wasn't.
You know I told you
there's something bothering me
I remember at Zeina's party, you were
so off, and you're never that way.
There's something that's happened, right?
Some time back, Ebraheem wanted to meet.
So, I met with him.
-Yeah, yeah.
-No!
-I did.
-What?
It's definitely surprising.
I know how much tension there is
between Zeina and Ebraheem.
I don't know if she's gonna flip out,
but she's gonna be shocked.
I've never kept anything from her
in my life.
Zeina had her fashion launch,
she was dealing with the sales,
she had a lot on her plate.
I didn't want to disturb her process
with this news.
Me and Ebraheem, like,
we've never had an issue with each other,
but I do feel like
it's a bit uncomfortable for me
to, like, spend time with him,
because I've gotten so close to you guys.
So, it's, like, putting me
in a kind of awkward place.
I want to solve this.
-It's exhausting.
-Yeah.
I want to tell her tomorrow.
At your party?
Enough! I'm done. Like,
I can't keep it to myself anymore.
I decided, at my event, at the end,
I'm going to tell Zeina about Ebraheem.
Can I try this? Just without
anyone seeing. [giggles]
Sure. Let's get you one. [laughs]
Mm.
-[Mona] Is it good?
-Mm.
I'm not tipping you, girl.
[upbeat music plays]
[Farhana] After my meeting with Azra,
the elite matchmaker,
today, is the first meeting.
Azra set up this pastry making activity
FARHANA BODI
with a guy she wants to introduce me to.
I hope he's gonna be
this hot guy [laughing]
with nice abs.
[gasps]
-Oh, hi!
-It's you!
-Oh, my God! How are you? Good?
-Oh, my gosh! You okay? You good?
What? Oh, my God!
I know him! I know Aydin!
We used to do modeling together,
always in the circle.
AYDIN MOMTAZ
You look fantastic! Looking amazing!
Thank you! I haven't seen you
in a long time.
Usually, in the process of matchmaking,
Azra sends me the guy's profile.
But to be honest, I'm always busy.
Whenever she sends me an email,
I don't have the time to see it.
So, tell me exactly what
we're gonna do here.
I don't want to mess my clothes.
I have to go somewhere after this.
[Aydin] Pick this up.
-[Farhana] Like this?
-Yeah, there we go.
Pastry making?
Not really for me.
To be honest, like,
you are always surrounded by girls.
Now, you see, for me,
I need to find a man
that doesn't have this lifestyle.
-It goes both ways.
-I know.
You're always walking around
with your phone, going to events,
like, kiss-kiss, hi-hi, bye-bye, you know?
Maybe. But I feel like I want a guy
who I'm gonna be, like, his world.
Like, he doesn't look beyond me.
I don't want to be married to a model,
'cause too many girls [chuckles]
too many Instagram messages, DMs.
-So, we know each other as friends.
-Yeah.
But as a date, I don't know,
how do you see it. Like, if
We were friends from before,
and I want to meet a man
that's possibly living in Europe,
and maybe he can have a setup here,
and also travel back and forth.
That would be ideal.
Some people might say
that's a sugar daddy.
If anything,
he should be younger. [laughing]
I'm not interested in him.
I never was, I never will be.
So, no, it's not for me.
Money makes the world go round ♪
Money, one thousand ♪
Today is Safa's event,
and I knew LO was not coming.
So, I paid her a visit
to know why she's not coming,
and maybe I'd figure out
how their trip to AlUla went.
Money ♪
[Zeina] Hello, hello!
-Hi. Wow, look at you!
-Chef LO!
-[laughs]
-[kisses]
Let me turn off the stove,
we don't want to ruin your smell!
You're going to smell
like onion and garlic!
I thought you're not coming
because you're hosting a festival.
I am. The pasta festival.
What is it called?
Is it the "pasta mushroom" festival, LO?
First of all, I love your look.
-You like it?
-Yes.
But I'm surprised by the, um I mean
The theme?
Yeah. Sounds like somebody
might be in for a beating.
[both laugh]
Depends on who's coming.
I don't know.
You're not coming because of the theme?
No, of course not!
Some events are not important,
like social events.
Those events are happening all year.
It's okay for me to skip those,
and say I'm sorry,
and I have other priorities at home.
-Did you have to do that today?
-I have a family commitment.
-With who?
-My husband.
-Oh! Okay, okay.
-[chuckles]
I've been neglecting him a lot.
And lately, I traveled twice.
Couldn't you have skipped
one of those trips?
-No.
-They were all important?
I set my own priorities.
She was hinting at our trip to AlUla.
No one has the right to question me
about who I invited, who I didn't.
-How was AlUla?
-We had a great time.
It was nice, right?
-You shock me.
-Why is that?
Honestly, LO, I really didn't expect
all of you to go to.
-So, half of us should go?
-This is what happened.
-No, the half that went there.
-Half of the group?
She always does this [mimics whooshing]
She has a sharp tongue.
I can feel that you're reproaching me.
You make me feel as if
I was Safa, your best friend,
who's supposed to know
who you like, who you don't like,
who you went out with.
-Safa?
-Mm.
I mean, you and I are not best friends.
I'm not Safa.
So, you can't come to me
and start blaming me or reproaching me.
Go to Safa.
And to me, my best friend
is like my sister.
Of course.
If I'm going to reproach her
or blame her for something,
it will be different from coming
to reproach or blame you.
-Yeah. But why are you telling me this?
-Mm.
I fit the context.
-It makes sense.
-Mm?
It makes sense.
-Are you trying to hint at something here?
-No, not at all.
It's as if she's trying to send me
a message. I don't get it.
I don't care, and I'm not even
bothered about whether she knows
about Safa and her meeting
with Ebraheem or not.
I won't be the person
who gives her this information.
Because, if I won't report
good things to her,
I'm definitely not going
to report bad things to her.
-See you.
-Okay, bye.
Alexa, play jazz!
[upbeat jazz music playing]
["Omg" playing]
Today is my women's domination event.
It's about women empowerment.
Since I have two girls now,
the Siddiqui household
is female-dominated.
So, let's do a ga'adet neswan my style.
Of course, ga'adet neswan means
all the neswan are coming to my event.
["Omg" playing]
The theme is gothic.
It's a bit eerie, it's a bit empowering.
There's something about
when you wear leather,
it just makes you feel a bit bossy.
Yeah, oh, my God ♪
-Hi!
-Hi!
You're wearing latex as well.
Please tell me you did the event
so you can wear this dress.
-Basically.
-Yeah?
After discussing with Mona, I decided,
today, I'm going to tell Zeina
about Ebraheem.
My God ♪
So, it was Ebraheem's milcha.
It was a little family thing,
a family gathering.
-Did you see her?
-Yeah, I met her.
She's very nice.
-She does exist.
-[Farhana] Of course she does!
Interesting.
It was a very nice event,
it was beautiful.
It's his milcha,
I'm really happy for him. He deserves it.
Great.
-Awkward silence!
-[laughs]
Can we drink something,
so we can digest this type of information?
She's so rude! My God.
Where's LJ and Mona?
I was worried LJ wasn't gonna come today,
'cause she's doing waitressing.
-She's what?
-She's a waitress.
Who said she's a waitress?
-She said.
-She didn't tell me.
She didn't know?
I though they were great friends!
Style ♪
Motto ♪
Fashion ♪
It's so good to see you!
Lady of the night! How are you?
-Hi!
-Hi! I'm sorry I'm late!
-You're always late.
-How are you?
We were saying
you're doing much better now.
That was a slur,
and you reap what you sow.
Ah, she has that rocket. [chuckles]
Because we are rockets tonight.
How are you, since I last saw you?
-[Zeina] How's work?
-Good.
Tell Farhana, because she accidentally
found out, and she's shocked.
-Oh, she doesn't know?
-[Zeina] No.
I forgot to tell her, I think.
How did she find out?
-We talked about you before you came.
-That's not something new!
[Zeina] No, it's not!
Safa and Zeina can sting you sometimes
with their indirect comments.
They need to realize
there's going to be a reaction.
How come? I thought you guys are closer.
Ay, ah-ah-ay ♪
Ay-ay, ah-ah-ay ♪

So, as you know, I've had two girls now,
and the house is dominated with female.
I grew up quite restricted. For me,
I don't want those for my daughters.
I want them to be free and have
the world of all their possibilities.
It often shocks people to know
that I grew up quite restricted,
because of the way I am today,
but I feel so free, and I want
this feeling for every woman.
To be who you want, not to please society,
to please yourself
and what makes you content.
Safa, can I say something?
Do you Wait. Actually, Zeina.
Do you know that
Since we were all gathered together,
I had something to say.
I love you both.
I'm just joking! [laughing]
I was waiting for something!
[Loujain] Okay.
No, actually, uh, Safa saw Ebraheem.
-[Zeina] Hm?
-Did you know Safa met Ebraheem?
In Ras Al-Khaimah? Where did you see him?
She didn't know? Like, oops!
Safa! You shouldn't be hiding things
like this from Zeina.
Neither should you,
and it's not your place to say it!
LJ, like a snake.
How dare you?
How dare you spread your venom?
-You come to my event to stir trouble?
-[Loujain] No!
No. Wait, hang on.
We're just asking Zeina
I thought you were such good friends,
you would've told her.
LJ and Farhana do not know what
the definition of a real friend is,
if their life depended on it.
Just 'cause you don't have real friends,
don't interfere with my friendship.
I don't have real friends? Excuse me?
-I'm leaving the table.
-Yes, please do.
Actually, I'm not leaving. I'm staying.
Honestly, I was so upset.
It was not funny, it's not a joke.
It's not your place to go share
somebody else's business.
You have to let them
make the decision to share it.
-Are you guys joking?
-[Farhana] We're not joking.
Because Ebraheem told us
that he met Safa when we were in Saudi.
Did you meet Ebraheem
other than in Ras Al-Khaimah?
-Yeah.
-You did?
How long ago was that?
Some while ago, before Ras Al-Khaimah.
Okay.
And you guys knew that I didn't know.
Right?
-LJ, I'm talking to you.
-[laughs] Oh, yeah. I'm sorry.
I didn't know what to do.
I started laughing.
Both of you, have come here
You know that Safa had not told me,
and clearly, you're coming
to ruin something.
-At my event!
-I'll deal with you later!
Like, oh, my God.
Neither of you are leaving, I'm leaving!
-[Mona] You serious?
-I'll talk with you later.
Pathetic! You should leave as well.
I don't want to see your faces.
Now, the true colors are coming out.
Marha, Farha, Marha, Farha
So fake.
Zeina, wait!
Don't talk to me. I really can't talk now.
[Safa] Zeina, Zeina! I'm gonna fall! Wait!
-Zeina!
-I hope you fall!
-What a horrible mess!
-Zeina!
