A surprise stag do for Stath's dad Vasos turns nostalgic when the gang discover a home video of the early days of Michael and Eagle.

On the verge of death, Barry scours the desert for salvation; Jamal grapples with the loss of his brother; the reality of Barry's death sets in upon Molly's return stateside as she struggles to adjust to normal life.

It's a new dawn in Abuddin, and Jamal's fate - along with that of the Al-Fayeed family - remains uncertain. Recognising the situation is ripe for turmoil, Barry encourages Rami to stay and oversee the transition.

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

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.

Suffering heavy losses, Barry wrestles with the notion that he needs the palace's support to survive. As paranoia builds within Jamal, he questions where Rami's loyalty lies.
