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.

A Bedouin family, bound by custom and hospitality, takes Barry in. Tariq's drastic military action leaves Jamal distraught, and Molly seeks help in navigating the Al-Fayeed family trust.

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.

In the wake of thwarted terrorist attacks, Barry bans open prayer at the University, causing a severe backlash. Al-Qadi speaks out against violence and restriction of religious freedom.

Barry and Molly respond in wildly different ways to a catastrophe that threatens to throw the country off course. Violent protests break out in Abbudin and Fauzi and Leila launch their political campaigns in earnest.
