Let me pregame you for Allah.
Hes excited, but the guy hes with isnt impressed.
Be my Topo Chico, says Naseem.
Thats when it becomes clear that Ramy has gotten himself involved with bad people.
We never actually learn why Yuval got his finger cut off.
And afterwards, they can head over to a massage parlor for a rub and tug.
You just told me youre back on your faith, Ramy says.
Im going there specifically because of that, Yuval insists.
Its an arrangement between those women and myself because they know that men are meant to sin.
He adds, I dont mean to judge, but do you fuck with no rules?
Ramy declines the rub and tug offer but trusts Yuval to get the stone shaped.
Ramys choice to leave the stone with Yuval was a little nerve wracking because clearly Yuval messed up somehow.
There was no way this would end well.
But Ramy is completely unconcerned, continuing to make careless decisions without any thought as to the consequences.
And I dont say that lightly.
Literally all she talks about isThe Office.Shes somehow a parody of every guy on Hinge.
And anytime any of them say anything, Lena chimes in with, Thats what she said.
How did the lucky couple meet?
Well, it was on a Muslim dating app, even though Steve isnt Muslim.
They let anyone on there, he says, and they bonded over their mutual love forThe Office.
Youre the fucking marriage expert, says Steve.
Lena sits in the backseat with her headphones on listening toThe Officepodcast, of course.
Thats when things get even weirder.
Ramy arrives at the clients house a man named Silvak.
A moment later, Silvak emerges.
In the first episode of this season, I thought Ramy had changed.
He was doing better.
He was trying to save money for his family.
But his family doesnt even want his money.
Hes on a few lists.
Silvak says he can get him a child in exchange for the carpet.
Silvak is not just a weird elf-man if hes now offering totraffic a childfor Ahmed.
And, just by bringing him to Ahmeds house, Ramy isagainshowing that he doesnt care about his friends.
Hes essentially put Ahmed at risk of losing his medical license.
Somehow, it calms Steve down, though.
Maybe they actually are the perfect little weirdo couple.
After the last two seasons, this is certainly a refreshing change for Steve, to say the least.
When Ramy walks back to the car, Steve expresses his frustrations with Ramys behavior.
At that point, we see Lena in the drivers seat (shecandrive?
), and she says to Ramy that Steve told her all about him, and shes team Zainab.
The end of this episode feels like a turning point for the season.
I know shoes on the bed are common in TV land, but an Arab would NEVER.
We dont wear shoes in the house, and we certainly dont have shoes on the bed.
Did they not have a cultural adviser or something on set to catch that?
The bathroom reminds you ofThe Office?
Steve says it reminds him ofThe Office, too.
The bit of information makes the episodes detail about Silvaks stone being moldavite all the more funny.
I immediately pictured the elf-man getting his info from all the TikTok crystal girls.
Ahmed responds, I dont want help from Lord of the Rings.
To that, Ramy says, Dont say that, dude.
Thatd be like if someone shouted bin Laden at us.
