'Saq Al Bamboo' (Bamboo Stalk)

It's Eid and the family gathers at Ghanima's house. Her neighbor Jaber calls for their Filipino servant (Eisa) to serve her guests. Ghanima tells Eisa and he replies that he is not a maid. Eisa then massages her feet. Eisa asks Noor if Jaber called her and she denies. He says that Jaber loves her but she thinks that he is just playing around. She asks him to complete the story he started last time they spoke. He tells her about his cousin Merla, and that he loved her but she wanted to be alone.

Eisa calls his mother to ask her if she knew anything about Merla, as he lost contact with her. She tells Eisa that even her mother is worried about her and looking for her. Khawla's mother comes to Ghanima's house to take her daughter to her house after she heard that Eisa, Rashid's son is back from the Philippines and is living in their house. But Ghanima and Khawla refuse. Noor asks Eisa if he loves Merla to which he says that he doesn't know. She then tells him that Jaber called her and that she hates him because she loves someone else.

Been Galbin (Between Two Hearts)

Dana calls Noora and asks her if she is sure of her decision to get married to her cousin Mihsen. She says that she already took her decision. Aryam comes with Bashar to his house for Noora's wedding. She asks Noora to see Bashar's room. There she throws away the frame which has Bashar and Dana's photo, but Noora stops her telling her to leave as the guests have arrived.

Masoud asks Fareeda for help in convincing Dana to forget her sadness and start a new life with him as he loves her and wants to marry her. Fareeda promises to help him since she thinks they are suitable for each other.

Mihsen tells Noora that he regrets for not waiting for Yasmin to return home after she left, and he wished to go back in time, which is impossible. Noora cries saying that she was a very kind person and she misses her. Aryam is angry that Bashar is still keeping photos of him and Dana in his house and asks him to throw them as Dana is now out of his life.
