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.

Barry becomes used to his new identity and participates in the life of the village. Amira arranges for Jamal to meet a war hero, and Ihab and Samira's plans to flee are thwarted.

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.

While Jamal is looking for Chinese military support, Barry stands up to the Caliphate. Sammy discovers that the Caliphate has kidnapped Abdul, and Amira wants Rami's help.

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.

To secure military support, Barry takes advantage of a sandstorm to overrun the Caliphate's military base.
