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.

Despite having depleted forces, Barry prepares to lead a crucial mission. Fuelled by his delusions, Jamal takes extreme action that has far-reaching ramifications.

Barry is taken in by a Bedouin family, who are bound by hospitality and custom as Jamal is distraught over Tariq's drastic military action. Molly reconnects with a classmate who helps her navigate the Al-Fayeed family trust.

Barry decides to stay in Abbudin and make a stand against the Caliphate. Jamal pushes the Chinese diplomat for military support. Sammy discovers that Abdul has been kidnapped by the Caliphate.

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.

As the defiance of the resistance builds, the General wants Jamal to increase his counter-attacks. Jamal authorises a limited chemical attack on the neighbourhood, but he also reveals to the General that he believes Barry's ways have validity.
