The episode closes as wedding preparations for Hassan and Afira move quickly forward despite the family's private devastation. Hassan's sister Amal openly calls his treatment of Hiba cruel and refuses to take part in the celebrations, packing her bags to leave home; Sabiha, furious, disowns her on the spot. Hiba avoids the wedding altogether by using a sudden, unrefused work assignment as an excuse to leave town. The episode ends at the ceremony itself, where Hassan tells Afira almost the same words he once used to reject Hiba, that he needs a lively partner and that she is the reward for his struggles, leaving an unsettling echo of what came before.
