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.

Jamal fears that his country is slipping from his control and holds out hope for a military victory. Barry's rescue attempt has unforeseen consequences, and Amira and Rami discuss Jamal's unpredictable behaviour.

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.

Barry seeks salvation in the desert. Jamal must come to terms with the loss of his brother, and, upon her return to America, Molly faces the reality of Barry's death and struggles to readjust to normal life.

Jamal now sets his sights on the East, to make Abbudin a global power. Barry continues to be a thorn in Jamal's side, becoming a symbol of freedom for the increasingly vocal insurgency.
