Barry makes preparations for a crucial mission. Jamal's actions have extensive consequences, and Leila fears that he is unable to see them through his delusions.

Jamal must decide whether or not to have Barry executed for leading the failed coup. Molly fights, against the clock, to secure Barry's freedom, while Ihab and Samira are driven by desperation.

With Jamal's life in danger and Abbudin on the verge of plunging into chaos, Barry steps forward as interim president and sets the stage for democratic elections.

Barry comes to the realisation that his survival requires the palace's support, as Jamal grows doubtful of Rami's loyalty. Sammy makes plans to donate his money to the Army of the Caliphate's opponents.

Jamal convinces himself that Khalil is the only one he can trust, while Molly learns of Barry's true fate. Ahmed sets about convincing Nusrat to run away with him, while Ihab turns his attention to a traitor in the Caliphate.

Barry discovers that his hold over Abbudin is tenuous. Sammy embarks on a risky relationship, Ihab's desire for revenge is given an outlet and Fauzi returns to Abbudin and is thrust into a political role.
