Yara finds herself entangled in a tense encounter with Hesham, where trivial arguments escalate into a battle for control. we witness the bleakness of her financial situation which forces her to accept more clients. Fate takes a bittersweet turn when Yara is assigned a client from her previously canceled blacklist, her ex-partner Ali who selfishly requests her presence to fulfill his ego, hoping to hear her declare her desire to marry him.
