Fadi returns home with news of a potential business opportunity as a partner in a hookah lounge.
Yara, unable to focus on her book, senses something wrong between her and Fadi, feeling they both hide truths.
Fadi gets defensive when Yara confronts him about accusations made by Ramy of misusing the company's expense account and personal trips.
Fadi claims Ramy, who is having affairs, is trying to damage Fadi's reputation out of fear Fadi would expose him.
Yara is conflicted as Fadi tries to justify his lies by claiming he was protecting Ramy's wife from the truth about her husband's infidelity.
Fadi apologizes but Yara, feeling numb and disoriented, doesn't believe him, reflecting on years of mistrust and deception.
Yara rejects Fadi's attempt to reconcile, feeling she has been wrongly held responsible for things beyond her control.
Sleeping on the living room sofa, Yara ponders her self-blame and Fadi's deceit, reconsidering warnings about guilt and shame in her life.
She experiences a moment of hope, considering the possibility of forgiving herself for past conflicts with her mother and for seeking others' validation.
Yara acknowledges her pattern of believing she is a bad person and resolves to confront her past and make choices for her future.
