Previously, on
"The Real Housewives of Dubai"...
We're tire flippin'. Push, push, push!
Love the form.
Just squeeze those shoulder blades in.
Like, Raf, he's like, "Let's have a third."
I won't be able to do these things.
- How are you? - I'm good. I'm out with Saba.
A few months ago, I was in Germany,
and this handsome, muscular man passes by.
You're coming.
So, we get to spend time with her.
I decide who she dates.
Honey?
off, Sergio. - Tell me.
You're like a gnat.
The last two months, there's just so much stress.
Yes, I know. It's been very, very hard.
- Are you and Sergio okay? - Yes, we're okay.
What kind of problem would Taleen be having
with Stanbury? - Uh, we don't care.
- What did I miss? - What did we miss?
Why is this a big thing?
You're being bitchy for no reason.
I asked a question. You give a----ing answer.
The only thing old about me darling,
is my money.
In the land of excess, I find my riches within.
Take it from me, if you know how to stay chill,
you'll never get burnt.
I may be building glass houses,
but you'll never see me crack.
The desert might be hot,
but I always find the shade.
If you're jealous of me, that's okay, honey,
I would be, too.
Hi, girls.
Um, just wanted to invite you all
to the desert on Saturday.
Wear things that you can do activities in,
so no ballgowns, Ayan. Can't wait.
Be careful, yeah.
What's wrong with the fountain?
So, there's a leak.
It will be fixed, I think, in the next two days.
Better there's a leak now than later, right?
- Oh, yeah, for sure. - Your parents are coming.
My parents are coming, honey. They are here tomorrow.
You excited? - Yes.
So, we're in the new house.
Michael, he's probably doing naked cartwheels,
right now.
But my entire life is chaos.
I'm still sleeping on the floor.
And Sergio's family are arriving in two days.
We need to fix this and fix-- yeah.
I don't even know where they're going to sleep, frankly.
- Oh. - Who is that?
- Ayan. - Amazing.
Hello. Hi.
Oh, my God, look at that.
- How are you? - How are you?
- Good, good, good. - You look amazing.
You're my first guest.
Yeah, you sent me a message ten minutes ago
not to come with high heels.
- Yeah, I know. - What were you thinking?
I'm not removing them. Sorry.
It's okay. Just walk very slowly.
Yeah.
Do you wanna have a look around?
Yeah.
How ironic is it that the first of my friends
to come see and congratulate me
on my new house is Ayan?
What do you think, Ayan? Do you like it?
Oh, my God, this is-- oh, I love this.
Especially from last year, I think Ayan thinks
I was brought up in a barn and never owned a home.
So, here it is. I do have a home.
This is gonna be a waterfall.
This will all just be flowing, so I can hear water,
and I've got a fountain out there.
And then how gorgeous is this tree?
Look at it. Just lights up the whole house.
I love it.
My favorite feature of our new house
is an 80-year-old bonsai tree.
We got a giant crane to lift it
all the way over the top of the house.
That tree has two men that come in twice a week.
Today, it had a wash and vitamins.
They feed it vitamins.
So, who is living upstairs here?
This floor is my kids,
and then this is me and Sergio. - Okay.
Oh, my God, look at the curtains.
- Ooh. - Oh, wow.
So, the bedroom will be here.
- With a bathtub? - Yes.
We'll put the mirror up here.
Oh, to watch yourselves.
Send me some videos.
And then it's not quite finished yet,
but this is my closet.
It's, like, everywhere. - Yeah.
- What shoe size are you? - 38.
Oh, I'm 40.
I love it.
This is gonna be a cinema.
Ahh! Let me jump.
We put the movies here.
Look at the-the ceiling. - I love it.
This is how I grew up all my life. Yes.
Well, there you go. It's like you're back in Africa.
I didn't see anything that was, uh...
you know, I'm not gonna be a bitch. Yes, it is.
I love her house. Good for her.
This room is a potential baby room. So, yeah.
Oh, this is gonna be-- oh.
Yes.
How is the baby gonna be in this room
when you're room is upstairs?
Like every single baby I've ever had.
Yeah.
No, no, wait a second.
The baby has to be with us, honey.
Guys, we have to discuss your baby situation,
but I like the room.
Let's go down and eat some food.
Sergio really, really wants a baby, in his soul.
I can see it inside you.
I honestly believe
that if Caroline doesn't give Sergio a baby,
this marriage is not gonna work.
This is breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Mmm.
So, are you guys ready to have a baby?
No, my stress levels are through the roof.
I'm gonna be real with you.
I had a conversation with Yasmine.
She said, "I don't want her to have a kid."
I was primarily brought up by a nanny,
and I think she's gonna be away even more now.
At least I have my brothers.
- Yeah. - That-that has no one.
Because basically she was raised by the nannies,
and she's leaving, and she feels like
the baby will be on her own.
She wasn't totally raised by nannies.
I mean, I am a working woman.
I had 87 employees, at the time.
- Yeah. - I'm home on the weekends.
She's not living in a hovel. She's fine.
Yasmine has no clue what it used to be like.
I had nannies in brown uniforms,
brown gloves. It was so formal.
And then with my kids, I wasn't around that much,
but I ran a big business.
Yasmine wants to be a lawyer.
So, what am I gonna do? Tell her, "You have kids,
"and you're never gonna live your dreams?"
Absolutely not.
I understand that, but she has feelings.
I think she just felt like she's--
you're not gonna have anyone here,
and she's gone.
Sadly, as much as I love her,
she cannot control her mom's happiness.
The baby will come at the right time.
You know, I actually wanna dedicate time to the baby.
You know, I wanna-- I wanna be a father, you know.
And I believe the baby that we will have,
it will be fun baby.
Farm, like from the farm?
- No, fun-fun. - No, fun. - Oh!
- F-U-N. No. - I'm not going to a farm.
I'm not moving from this house.
- Are you excited, Gigi? - Sienna, look where we're at.
Sienna, give the duck a cucumber.
This is so cute.
Look at all the ducks. They're following you, Gigi.
What's happening? - Maybe they like lettuce.
- Can I try? - Give it to them. Give it to them.
Mama, the duck ate my finger.
No, no, the duck didn't eat your finger.
- Sienna-- - Jaymee, you can take them
on the playground thingy, as well.
I'm actually gonna sit.
I'm gonna park right next to you.
Mama...
Maybe there's bunnies over there.
Keep looking.
Honestly, if it wasn't for Jaymee,
like, she does almost everything.
She treats them like they're her kids.
She's supporting you with the things
that are not hands on. - Thank you.
You're doing a good job, kid. - You're doing a good job.
You're doing great. You're doing fantastic.
So, last night, I actually-- and I swear to God
I had a dream that we had a boy.
- Get out. - He was really cute,
and he had blue eyes. - Blue eyes?
So, I don't know if you were the father, but...
Look at my Si-Si.
Anyway, the dream got me thinking.
But, no, in all honesty,
like, we have to have a third child,
and it has to be a boy. That's what I want,
and-and we're gonna do that, I hope.
Raf thinks we are in the "Game of Thrones."
He wants, you know, an heir.
He's like, "We need someone to take over the company."
These girls are a lot, and you're not as hands on
as sometimes I wish you-you could be.
How can I be?
I know, but that's a big part of it, too.
I'm hearing it from Raffi.
I'm hearing it from his family.
I get it. We're Middle Eastern,
so family members chime in all the time.
Basically, I have my mother-in-law
at the end of the bed
with, like, a whistle and a clipboard
telling me which position I need to get in
to have a boy.
I've had a really tough time with pregnancy.
I feel like I just got my body back.
I'm at capacity.
But Gigi's kind of self-sufficient,
at this point.
I mean, she can take a piss by herself but--
Exactly. She doesn't wear a diaper.
Yeah, I'll tell-- I'll tell Jaymee.
- Jaymee has some. - I'm getting hungry.
Can we get some ranch? - I'm starving.
So, um, you know, Lesa, at the queens dinner,
kind of, like,
went attack mode with me a bit.
Yeah.
I do wanna give Lesa the benefit of the doubt,
and I let things go. I'm ready to move on.
But, you know, with Brooks,
I get the 2 a.m. calls from her
being like, "She said this. She said this."
And I hate that.
After the queens dinner, the morning after,
I get a phone call from Caroline Brooks.
Caroline tells me that she heard
Caroline Stanbury say to Lesa,
"I don't know why Tal pulled me away from the table.
We're not friends like that."
And then she says, "Tal, don't you get it?
Like, Stanbury doesn't like you."
I pick up the phone,
and I call Stanbury.
I'm really appreciative that she asked me
to my face, "Did you?"
And you know what? No, I didn't.
And so, I called Lesa.
Out of nowhere, I'm getting calls from Stanbury
basically telling me that Brooks told Taleen
things that I never said,
and I'm not one to defend Stanbury,
but that is not what I told Brooks.
I specifically told Brooks Stanbury was also confused
as to why Taleen needed to pull her to the side.
That was it.
Why is Brooks inserting herself, again?
Was she trying to instigate things?
- Could have been a-- - Because-because of
her issues with Stanbury.
That's the struggle with Brooks.
She does sometimes instigate things.
You got to know Stanbury a little bit at Atlantis.
She was watching you like a hawk for some reason.
She said that you fell over.
And?
Well, ask her to stop that.
Brooks is our girl, but tell her you don't
wanna hear about who said what
because you don't really care.
I don't, but she's-- I know what she's gonna say to me.
She's gonna be like, "Well, I'm just trying to be
a good friend."
Great. Then as my good friend,
I'm-I'm requesting you to stop talking to me
about that stuff. I don't wanna know.
But we all know Brooks. Is she gonna take that well?
- Choose your words. - Yeah.
Coming up...
When are you gonna be my dad or stepdad?
Maktoum!

So, now we just need to do the product shoot,
but I want the shadows and everything in it
so that it looks natural. - Yeah, no, definitely.
One in the box, one outside the box.
I'm so excited. - Okay, me, too.
Oh, let's do the belly mask.
Oh, my God, it looks so bomb.
Mina Roe has been doing really well lately,
and the CFO
has been very happy.
So, we're expanding this year, adding new products.
The hospital kit has the socks,
the underwear.
And our new skincare line,
it's things to prevent and reduce the appearance
of stretch marks.
I want this brand to be a one stop shop for moms.
Oh, my God, my lips feel dry now.
I feel like I really need the lip balm.
It's so nice.
You could even rub it on your nipple.
Skincare, beauty is completely different to fashion.
There's so many more trials, and samples, and errors.
It's been years in the making.
I've had to be the test guinea pig or--
you know, PETA don't get us.
Yeah, okay.
It's not in the middle completely.
- Yeah. - I like it separate.
Yeah, it doesn't-- it's too close.
Yeah, I know I love to micromanage.
Even though we have a team to do all of these things,
it's hard for me to give up control
because I have built this brand from the ground up.
It's like my fourth child.
It's the daughter that I never had.
These underwear, I'm gonna try one on.
And we're gonna see who wore it best,
me or the mannequin.
Oh, crap, that's my alarm.
You know, I've put 100 into every single thing I do.
I put 100 into my kids. I put 100 into my business.
But I'm struggling like sh--.
I have an alarm for everything.
Wake up, gym.
Kristian's pickup, Kristian's ECA,
Max and Sebi's pickup,
football, football, 10:40--
what's my 10:40 alarm? Oh, bed.
- Lesa. - Hospital underwear.
Okay, let's get this over quickly
'cause I have to go get my boys.
Yeah, of course.
Who wore it better. - Who wore it better?
How did it come out? Let's see.
Oh, definitely the mannequin.
I have to go get the boys.
♪ you got a face that shines so bright ♪
♪ eyes like Dubai deep in your eyes ♪
Come on, let's go.
You like the place? - Yeah.
- It's cool, right? - Beautiful.
Akin looks like he works here with the same color palate.
- I'm-I'm camouflaging. - Yes.
Yeah. Wow, I didn't know that.
I kinda like that name.
It's been two months since I've last seen Akin,
and I'm so excited to see him.
- The caramel seduction. - Caramel seduction.
It gets better and better.
This time, we are meeting for a bigger intention.
I decide whether I friend zone the guy
or, like, I take him to the next level.
And so far, it's been going really well.
Check, check, check.
And those abs...
So, do we care for anything I can get for you?
I would like a plain croissant.
Plain croissant.
I heard you guys have a Nutella brownie.
- Nutella brownie, yeah. - Yeah, I'll have that.
- How about you, sir? - You got some protein,
like some chicken or some?
Yeah, we have some chicken wrap.
- Perfect. - Okay, guys.
Apparently, you guys know each other so well now, huh?
Yes.
How was the boys day?
- Boys day. - Unh-unh-unh-unh-unh.
So, tell me. What did you guys do?
Maktoum, what did we do? What did we do?
We went to the gas station.
One gas station or five gas stations?
Five gas stations just to get one slushie.
So, Akin babysat Maki yesterday.
It's not a full-on test,
but it's a good starting test
because I need to see whether they click or not
and how it goes.
He wrote a list with things,
what he wanted to do. - Okay, okay, okay.
And number one was get slushies together.
Yeah.
Okay, and then after that, what did you guys do?
Played basketball.
Oh, yeah!
I need my son's approval, and I need his feedback
because he wants a father figure so badly.
What is your dream dad?
A dad that buys toys for their kid,
be nice to their kid.
But at the same time, this comes with a risk
because what if it doesn't work,
and my son gets attached, and then the guy is gone?
So, you guys had fun. - Yeah.
When are you gonna be my dad or stepdad?
Maki!
I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.
- Mom. - Bubba, he's my friend for now.
We're getting to know each other.
I'm so sorry. - No, no, no.
Embarrassing.
He would be a great dad. I know.
How do you know he is gonna be a great dad?
Because he's great and because he has ten-packs.
- He has ten-packs. - He's strong.
I love it.
Coming up...
I was gonna ask you. I feel like Lesa--
maybe she has something on her mind or at home.
She just snaps.
What do you---ing expect me to say?
If any one of you wanna talk to her,
just talk to her personally.
♪ Well I'll be with you

- Hello. - Hello. How are you?
Caroline and Sergio for Dr. Fakih.
No, we're not here to make a baby, darling.
- Oh, okay. - We're here to see the doctor.
Yes.
In the last few months, I have literally not thought
about my baby boy embryo because the stress of moving
has completely taken over my life.
- Oh, okay, perfect. - Thank you.
So, it's hard to get in the mindset that,
one day, I might have a baby with Sergio.
Hey, Caroline.
Remember what this is, Sergio?
An ear canal, honey.
That's why I'm still not sure we're ready for babies.
- Welcome back. - Thank you.
So, today, um, we're here just
because of the age issue and pregnancy issue.
Usually, we would like to do it
before the big 5-0.
Where is the five-- oh, fif--
- Yes, honey. - Fifty.
Before.
That's, like, one and a half years.
- She's 46 now. - Okay.
In a month, she'll be 47.
And they don't have surrogacy in this country.
Not here but you can always--
What would be the option if--
You can-- let's say you cannot carry the pregnancy.
We can transport the embryo to another country,
like the U.S. or Spain.
I don't really know how I feel yet about surrogacy.
Surrogacy is still illegal in Dubai.
So, if I can't carry the baby,
and my baby is in a baby mama in America,
me being me, for nine months,
forget that the baby is coming,
and then, suddenly, someone delivers a baby to you.
I haven't wrapped my head around it yet.
I want this picture of Caroline naked
with her tummy out.
I have to have it.
You know, taking a picture as I'm holding her behind,
and the baby is, like, here.
That's so good. I need that one.
If we do this within a year or so,
I think you can do it yourself.
You do have a beautiful embryo.
And actually, I have a picture for you.
What?
- No way. - Yeah.
Oh, my God, okay, I get emotional now.
I cannot see this.
- It's a bubble. - This is so exciting, honey.
Oh, my God.
What is the-- what is the face?
Can I see? - The face?
Maybe-maybe down here. So, where is the boy?
The boy, it doesn't show here.
It's a genetic test. - Oh.
Even though it's just an embryo, it's just so special
and emotional for me.
Like, oh, I'm gonna start crying now.
I get emotional.
I love my baby. I wanna have this baby.
Even though it's on ice, it's just the idea of, like,
having the little boy just close to me.
It literally makes my heart melt.
What are you thinking?
Don't look at me like that, honey.
I'm very sensitive in this state.
But I'm looking at Caroline,
and she's not really on the same page as me.
So, I'm thinking how to say to Caroline
that I need this baby.
So, the latest we can do it is at the big 5-0,
as you said, yeah?
Think seriously of doing it, like, next year.
Hmm. I don't know.
I am not the best baby person.
I'm great with puppies.
It's actually a miracle to have this kind of embryo
at the age of 45. - Honey, it's a miracle.
Here you go, honey.

- Hello. - Excuse me, ma'am.
Thank you very much. Hello.
- Oh, I love your outfit. - Wow, this is amazing.
- Thank you so much for coming. - First day of Ramadan.
We're doing Emirate food today.
Typically, I would have hosted a Pakistani Iftar.
- Hey, gorgeous. - Oh, hello.
Look at you.
Ooh, la-la-la.
So, Sara and Akin are coming.
Have we met Akin? - No.
- I got it. - I can't wait to meet Akin.
- Who? Who is that? - Sara's friend.
- Akin, Sara's-Sara's friend. - Oh.
Oh, my God, we're sitting on the floor?
- Oh, hello. - Hi.
- Wow. - Let me take my shoes off.
- Wow, what a hot couple. - How are you, baby?
I can't stand because of my dress.
Hi, Akin. How are you? So nice to meet you.
- Hi. - Caroline, nice to meet you.
- Hey, nice to meet you. - You look amazing, Sara.
- On the floor, guys. - You look amazing.
Wow. You are a very good-looking man.
You would relate. He's a model.
That's why. I can spot one.
Oh, my God.
You remind me of giraffe in Africa.
They are so tall, and muscley,
and the most gorgeous animal. They are.
Are we gonna talk about the giraffe man?
He is so hot.
But during Ramadan, isn't-- that's not, like, halal.
He's very pretty.
Do you know who Sara's ex-boyfriend was?
The actor from the "365 Days" movie.
Sara dated Michele Morrone.
Sara knows to pick them sizzling hot.
- Good evening. - Hi.
Can I take the order?
Yes, let's get the mixed appetizer, please.
And for the main, your famous fish dish
with the biryani underneath. - Fish, yes, my pleasure.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Right now, it's Ramadan, and the UAE is a Muslim country.
So, Ramadan is a very, very important month.
All the Muslims around the world
fast from sunrise to sunset for 30 days.
It's a good time for us to also cleanse our body and detox
but also cleanse our soul.
Who fasted? Did you fast today?
- I did. - Did you?
- We both are fasting. - I was born Muslim.
So, my mom would make all of us fast,
and that was a good way of her not worrying about food all day.
- Okay, thank you so much. - Thank you.
You're welcome.
Laban-- you guys will love it.
- Make sure you have your date. - I already have a date.
Good one.
Iftar is the time where we break the fast.
At sunset, we break the fast by eating
an odd number of dates because, in Islam,
they say the odd numbers are healthy for your body.
- Oh, my God. - Oh, yes.
Then we go for a prayer.
And then, until the sun comes up,
we're just eating food nonstop.
- Oh, I love this. - I'm gonna eat chicken.
Oh, this is so good.
The good thing about Dubai, during Ramadan, is, like,
7 p.m., there is no cars in the Dubai road.
It's completely empty because everybody goes to Iftar.
It brings the community together.
- Mmm. I love it. - This is beautiful, Saba.
Thank you so much for inviting me.
Oh, it's my pleasure. Thank you so much for coming.
- So happy to meet you. - Yeah.
Are your muscles okay on the floor?
Yeah, yeah.
So, what kind of modeling do you do?
Sports clothes, normal clothes, street wear.
Which side of, uh, Africa are you?
- What's your mix? - My dad is American.
- Oh. - And mom is?
Do you feel that it's easier for you
that he is Muslim? - Of course, it's easier.
- So, you leave soon? - I leave on Sunday. Yeah.
And then you're moving to Dubai soon?
- I'm working on it. - Wow.
I am so sorry.
Oh, no, why are you interrogating him?
Don't interrogate him.
Interrogate him. My girls have got my back.
I thought his name was fake. It's like a stage name.
- What is it? - It's, uh, Fontana.
Fontana? Sara Fontana.
- We don't take names here. - Amazing. What?
Emirates don't take names? - No.
Shut up.
No, you take your dad's pride with you,
so your dad's name stays with you.
You know, it's very easy to get married
as a Muslim person. - Don't give him ideas.
That's good. That's good to know.
I'm so happy to see you. Look at you.
She's glowing.
She's like a two-year-- like a five-year-old kid.
She's smiling. Like, this is--
I love this, and I love this for Maktoum
because he's at an age where he needs a man in his life
that he could look up to that's a positive role model.
- Oh, you've met him? - Yes, yes.
I love him, yes. - Oh, he loves him.
This is what I want, as well.
I want this kind of relationship
where I can be this much in love,
and my son can love the person, too.
I'm so happy for Sara, and I hope that
they have a long-lasting friendship.
Like, I want this vibe 'cause I'm a single mom.
- Yeah. - And my son knows that
I have to work to take care of him.
Yeah.
I feel like a lot of moms do a lot because, also,
they're scared of the mommy guilt.
You know what I mean? I feel--
I was gonna ask you. I feel like Lesa--
maybe there's something that bothers her.
I thought maybe she has something on her mind
or at home. - She just snaps.
- When? - At your queens dinner.
Yeah.
No, but you're being bitchy for no reason.
Like, calm the down. - Agreed.
She just feels, to be honest, like her mom left, you know.
- Ahh. - She has three kids.
She works. She takes care of the husband.
Thank you.
- This is so good. - Mmm.
So, she's, like, she does-- - She's overwhelmed.
Yeah, she's a very hands-on mom.
No, but-but she needs to take it easy
'cause, as a mom, you can burn out, as well.
I will never sit around and let anybody ask me questions
about my best friend. It's very uncomfortable for me
because if you have a problem, go ask her.
What do you---ing expect me to say?
I love my girl too much. She's my best friend.
So, if any one of you wanna talk to her,
just talk to her personally.
Coming up...
It bothered me that you called me and said,
"You know Stanbury was talking sh-- about you."
- That's my opinion because-- - But don't you feel like
that's stirring the pot a bit?
No, that's me being direct.
- Hello. - How are you?
- Good. How are you? - Table for two.
- Welcome to August. - Welcome back.
I love this place so much.
- Today, outdoors? - Yes.
Oh, a beautiful night.
Perfect. Thank you very much.
Your waiter will be with you shortly.
Thank you.
Would you like maybe to start with some water?
Sparkling water and a paloma, please.
- Sure. I'll be back. - Thank you very much.
- Hello. - Hi, babe.
Hit me, baby, one more time.
What-what's happening, right now?
I've missed you. Hello.
Good evening. Welcome to August.
How are you? - Hi. Thank you.
I'm good. How are you doing? - Oh, good.
She'll have one of those.
I'll take one of those, as well.
- Yeah, a paloma. - Yeah. Thank you.
Talk to me. How was-- how was Iftar?
I was, like, laser focused on the fricking God across from me.
Christ, does Sara know how to pick 'em.
Yeah, yeah.
Anyway, how are things with you?
Good.
You know, Raf is on my ass about the boy.
You know me.
I'm also trying so hard to get my life,
to get my career. - To do your businesses.
You want-- right, you wanna-- you wanna build that.
You know what I mean?
Tal, you don't have to explain it to me.
I know what it feels like.
- Why not? - Yes.
Like, obviously.
Oh, I thought he was gonna tell us something.
Me, too.
Oh, my God. - You're losing weight.
- Am I? - Yeah.
The thinner I see you, the more I'm worried.
Yeah, I've been working seven days a week,
eighteen hours. - Like, holy sh--,
your arms are like coat hangers, right now.
Well, of course, now I have two kids,
the Glass House, and I have my child,
and it's a really, really difficult balance.
Since Brooks opened The Glass House,
she's really stressed out.
She's working her ass off.
It's definitely taking a toll on her,
and as her best friend, I'm worried.
Like, she looks like a very thin astronaut.
You're good? - I'm good, babe. I'm good.
I'm more concerned about, like, Stanbury invited us all
to the desert, which is like,
oh, so now you wanna invite me to something.
Thanks. - Right.
The old me would have been very confrontational toward her,
but the new me is like, I expect less from people,
so I don't get myself so disappointed.
Thanks.
Let me just take a hard sip.
- Thank you very much. - Thank you.
Um, can I say something? - What?
And you're not gonna like this.
Not I'm gonna like it? Why not?
And it's coming from an honest place.
I feel as though you can instigate
behind the scenes. - Really?
What? Instigate what?
You are maybe fearful
that I am not gonna have your back,
or I'm not gonna be blindly loyal to you.
I don't want blind loyalty.
Wait, let me finish. Let me finish.
Mm-hmm.
After the whole queens thing, you called me the next morning,
and you brought up the whole Stanbury thing.
- Yep. - And you said she said,
"I don't know why she took me away from the table.
"We're not even friends like that."
That's what Lesa said. So, I repeated it to you.
It would be horrible for me to listen to that
and not come and tell you, right?
It wasn't in that way, Caroline.
So, no, no, no. What I'm saying--
what I'm saying is-- - I didn't feel like
it was in a way where you were
trying to be there as a friend. - Tal, I call-- no, no, no.
Are you crazy? Don't do that.
You know very well
that you are the queen of the telephone game.
You said to me this one called you and told you
I wasn't important.
Did Stanbury say that she wasn't important,
which is what-- - No.
- She didn't say that. - She didn't say that. No.
- So, you-- - So, you said it.
I did.
So, if I'm telling you
I don't like what somebody just said about you,
you don't wanna hear it? Should I lie to you?
Obviously, don't lie to me.
I said it to you exactly how they said it.
- Okay. - That's it, okay?
So, if you want Stanbury to get in your-- we--
- Stanbury is not in my ear. - No, no, no.
Taleen is gonna believe her friend of ten minutes
over her friend of ten years.
Literally, I have protected this girl
like she is my child.
Now, what are you gonna do?
Take a knife and stab me in the back?
You just said, "I feel like you're stirring the pot,"
amongst friends that I knew before?
Jesus. You cannot take one bit of, like, critique.
- Tal-- - It bothered me
that you called me and said,
"You know, Stanbury was talking sh-- about you."
That's my opinion because if--
But don't you feel like that's stirring the pot a bit?
No, that's me being direct.
Do you not understand at all where I'm coming from, though?
No.
I did not expect her to react like this.
I'm not some stranger on the street.
I'm one of her oldest friends in Dubai.
I should be able to have this conversation with her,
but I'm seeing a completely different side of Brooks.
Let's move forward.
There is no moving forward.' I'm good.
- What does that mean? - I'm good.
Okay.
Well, this was fun.
- Today. - Today, oh.
And we have this piece of marble, honey?
Oh, sh--. - Is that chipped?
Oh, my life. Yes.
That-that wasn't there yesterday.
Oh, my God, unbelievable.
I'm gonna have a---ing sh-- fit.
Okay.
- Oh. - Oh, my God,
how many bags did you bring? - A lot.
You're crazy.
What do you think, guys? Amazing?
I love the community.
Eileen, they've taken a massive chip
out of my TV stand.
I can't even replace that marble.
Dun-dun-dun-dun.
- Wow. - Look at this.
It's all open. Voila.
Okay, let's go. Honey, family is here!
Hi.
Oh, my God, it's a little bit chaotic.
- Oh, tonight... - I think you're gonna die
with the amount of suitcases they brought.
Hi. How are you? Oh, my God, you did.
Wow.
You love it? Yeah?
Yeah, it was meant to be a little bit more together,
but anyway...
Sergio has a very different relationship
to his family than I do to mine.
We had a massive row tonight because he wanted me
to sit with his parents on the engagement night.
I have friends that flew from L.A.
that I should sit with, and they aren't your parents.
But I get on well with them now.
They make Sergio happy. They make me happy.
I'm just not good in general with other people's parents
or my own, for that matter.
So, what have you all got planned
'cause I'm-I'm off to the desert now with all the girls?
Aah, yes. , yes.
I would pay anything to be there, to be honest.
This is my mini break from you.
- From me? - Yes.
I just want a normal conversation
that doesn't revolve around my house or a baby.
So, I planned a desert trip with the girls just for a lunch.
Enjoy your day.
I am not going to the desert just to get away
from my in-laws.
They want to wash up. Like, show them everything.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, come this way, you guys.
Carry their bags. Watch my walls.
Oh, okay.
You wanna help me, honey, a little bit? No?
No, I don't.
Bye, sweetie. Thanks.
Hi.
- Hey, hey. - Hi.
- How are you? - I'm good. You look so cute.
How are you? Muah.
Why are we in the middle of nowhere?
I have no idea.
The desert is super-hot. It's very sandy.
Then I have Taleen, and all I wanna do,
is just blow her away.
Oh, my God, what's wrong with-
Oh, what in the blueberry loofah hell is that?
Hello. - Hello.
Wow, okay.
She looks like a dessert, not the desert chic.
I think she thought dessert chic.
I wish I knew, so I can plan my fashion.
Wear things that you can do activities in,
so no ball gowns, Ayan.
Oh, she sent that?
Oh, I didn't pay attention.
All right, guys. Guys, Stanbury sent a video.
Come, guys. Watch, watch, watch.
Girls, I'm so sorry.
We had a party bus waiting for you.
- We heard it broke down. Sorry. - It broke down.
We're really sorry.
- A bus. - They had a party bus,
and it broke down. - So, how do we get there?
- Oh. - That is our bus?
I love it! I love it!
- Do we have to do this? - No.
How is my dress gonna fit?
Stanbury clearly maxed out her credit card
on her new house.
Like, why is she putting us in this toot-toot?
- Get in. This flashy ass-- - Oh, my God,
this is not-- me not come all the way to go in a minivan.
- I'm not going. - Wait, wait, wait.
Oh, my God, no.
They're gonna be so mad.
I'll be shocked if they all show up.
I decided to bring my friend, Juliana, to lunch.
We just have always had so much fun together.
She makes me laugh.
I think my housewarming present from my last house
from Juliana was Hermes plates and a vibrator.
Let's have a good time.
Oh, I could do with a glass of wine.
I can tell you that.
This time, after Ramadan, everyone is hungry.
Everyone is thirsty. - Oh, my God,
I hope none of these girls are fasting.
- Sara? - Can you imagine?
Oh, Sara, how is she gonna do this heat?
Can she drink water? - No.
How long is this gonna be?
I don't know, but it's really--
the problem is, there is no AC.
Maybe there's a window on your side.
Open it, babe. - Yeah, open the window.
I'm wearing a wig.
There is no way it's flying out.
- Oh. - Oh, is this a punishment?
She hates everybody. I thought it was only me.
- Wait. - What?
They're---ing with us. Oh, my God,
we're taking these cars!
♪ Up can you keep up with this ♪
♪ up can you keep up with this ♪
You bitches!
Are they screaming in anger or happiness?
Get me out of here!
Juliana's husband collects sports cars.
Cars are almost more important than houses in Dubai.
People have small houses and, like, $2 million
or $3 million worth of cars on the driveway.
We were about to have, like, three panic attacks in there.
No, I already had three. I had five.
- How are you, darling? - How are you?
- I'm good. - Good to see you.
- Hi. - Hi, baby.
Oh, this looks better with me.
Oh, my God, well, I'm glad you're in a good mood.
I am taking the white. Juliana is taking yellow.
The other two you can guys can pick.
Okay.
Who wants to drive with Juliana?
Who wants to drive with me?
- I'll drive with you, Stanbury. - Okay, great.
- Should we take the red? - Can I sit with you?
Oh, who's with Juliana? I'll be with Juliana.
- Perfect. - This is gonna be fun.
Ooh, I love this.
Ayan, I can't drive like this.
One second.
Whoo!
You ready?
♪ This town where the crown walk the walk yeah ♪
- Which one's drive? - You're scaring me.
♪ Okay hands up we are we alive ♪
♪ you can come out 'cause the party won't stop ♪
Which side of the road should I be on?
This one.
Oh, I'm so screwed.
Even though my life is on the line, right now,
in this car with Stanbury, I feel like it's lower risk
than driving with Brooks, at this point.
Like, friendships have ups and downs,
and I do think Brooks and I can come back from this,
but it's gonna take some accountability on her end.
Oh, my God,
I hope that's not me. - If that's you...
Oh, it's an ambulance,
not a policeman. - I was like--
- Show them your left boob. - Oh, no.
I'm surprised that Taleen and Brooks
are not riding together. - Yeah, me, too.
So, tell me about your dinner last night.
Uh, so, it was just you and Brooks.
It was just me and Brooks, and I said,
"I feel like you can be a bit of an instigator."
Oh, my God, Caroline, like, it was World War III.
You know when her eyes get, like, wide?
You are the queen of the telephone game.
With you?
Like, the rage takes over.
It was crazy eyes. - I feel like
they might pop out. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like one of those string ball machines.
It was bing.
You know, I'm really beginning to like Taleen.
Unlike other people,
she is not going to blindly follow Brooks
down any road that she wishes.
That takes real balls.
She's just so defensive.
Everything is a fight.
Coming up next...
But I don't care about this.
Well, if you don't care about this,
then we're not as close friends as I thought.
And that's fine.
♪ You got a face that shines so bright ♪
♪ You got my love here taking flight ♪
The supermodel is here.
♪ Do my love do my love do my love ♪
What a beautiful day.
We're gonna walk for a couple of hours.
- Where is the magic carpet? - Yeah.
This is funny.
Don't push me too hard. I'm scared.
Don't be. I'm holding you, so I'm not letting go.
- Okay. - Okay.
On your marks, get set...
all: Go!
Oh.
Are you okay?
Epic fail!
Oh, my tits.
I-I never thought, one day, I'll be humping you in the back.
I know, in the desert.
Okay, next activity.
Why do you have to hold hands?
Because you can see.
Look at my new best friend.
No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
Lesa is my best friend!
Lesa is so jealous.
You'd think I have a gun at her head.
Stanbury just grabbed her friend,
and now it is absolutely eating her inside
because she doesn't have her little puppet anymore
to put batteries in her back and tell her to, like, dance.
This is not working. Whoo! Yeah!
- There you go. - That's better.
- Yeah, I'm gonna go down. - I'm just walking.
This is off to a great start.
It was faster to walk.
- Gorgeous. - Wow.
- Any particular seating? - No, just everyone.
I'm actually on
a girls' afternoon with no Sergio.
His family arrived today,
so I'm avoiding the house like the plague.
- Escaping the in-laws. - Escaping the in-laws.
It's so hot.
Good afternoon, ladies. How is it going?
- Hello. - Okay.
Do you know how to make palomas?
Palomas? Absolutely.
We're breaking our fast.
Can we drink in front of you even if you're
breaking your fast? - Yeah, of course.
Of course. - Okay.
We're still in Ramadan, but fasting in the desert
is probably the harshest condition
you could go through.
I need water. I need food,
especially around these ladies.
Sara, how is everything with the boyfriend?
He's not a boyfriend yet. I'm old school.
I would get to know him, introduce him to the family,
and then I wanna get married.
I don't wanna date for fun.
No.
Bullsh--.
I swear to God. You can ask him.
- You're a liar. - You can ask him.
- She wouldn't lie about this. - No, no way, no way.
- You guys have never kissed? - Never.
You guys have had at least had one kiss.
Come on.
You have the giraffe man next to you 24-7.
You're not gonna kiss it?
Don't be stupid.
Of course she's kissed him.
It's a bit disrespectful to ask a Muslim woman
if she's made out with someone because...
Wait, I need to understand this.
You date, but you haven't kissed.
Yes.
I would run for the hillS.
I think the girls speak from their own experiences
and the culture of the countries they're from.
It's not like that in the Arab world.
Intimacy is a sacred thing, and Akin is Muslim,
so he understands the culture and the traditions.
Plus, like, I can get a guy with a smile
and my clothes on, girl.
Sara, how long are you gonna make wait
until you introduce him to your parents?
The next, like, probably two or three months,
but my mom thinks my choices are always wrong,
and she's right.
But I told her, "Mom, I've done therapy.
I've done this. I've done this. I changed."
She's like, "I don't believe you've changed.
You choose bad men." - I believe
therapy changes people. I love my healing journey.
- Brooks, yours is too fast. - But be happy. She's happy.
I have to say I agree with you.
I-- yeah, it's too-- it's too fast.
Like, it's suddenly, a minute, you're like a changed woman.
One.
I'm at peace. - Yeah.
Therapy takes time.
Spiritual healing is on the spot, like, direct.
It's crazy.
So, you can tell me how you got to this place.
How did you get to this place where you are so calm?
- Um-- - She's not so calm.
- No, no, she's-she's calm. - You're gonna have moments.
She's pretty sure you had a moment last night, so.
- What moment last night? - What happened last night?
No, I got in a bit of an altercation with Caroline.
I wouldn't call that an altercation.
I would call that you made a comment,
and I made a comment back, and then I--
- That's what you would call it? - Yeah.
I just told her, as a friend--
Okay.
Sometimes I feel as though
you can instigate a little bit when it's not needed.
And then I said to you, as a friend,
"I'm not gonna tell you anything anymore,"
and I left it.
And that was-- that was the end of that.
That's funny. Okay. - Yeah.
- That is funny. - That's really funny.
I tried to be honest with you,
but-but you're not listening. - You called me the day before.
You were like, "I was having a bad morning.
Babe, I'm sorry about that." - I was having--
I shouldn't have called. - But you called me
the day before, and you were like--
See? You're not letting me talk!
But I don't care about this.
Well, if you don't care about this,
then we're not as close friends as I thought.
