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.

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.

Increasingly suspicious of those close to him, Jamal believes Khalil is the only person he can trust. Deciding he should no longer hide the truth, Barry reveals to Molly that he's alive.

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.

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.
