TEXT: [PREVIOUSLY_ON] Jamal: And my brother, Bassam... do you love him? Sheik Rashid: There is not a morning I don't wake up and thank god I am not running against him. (both laugh) (Sheik Rashid coughs) Jamal: You're okay? Do you want me to get Bassam to help you? (Jamal grunts) You think everybody loves you. Forgive me, I don't. Sheik Rashid just collapsed in the men's room. They're saying he's dead. Barry: What happened? Ihab: No, no, no, you don't touch my father. Barry: We're both doctors. Namir: Ihab, Ihab. Molly: Wait, wait. I got a pulse. Barry: How far out are the EMTs? Jamal: The doctor said he could still wake up. Barry: I want him to wake up, too, but, uh, he's an old man. Jamal: If you were to guess... [SCENE_BREAK] Barry: Is this why you brought me in here? Jamal: I need it to be 100% that he doesn't. Barry: Jamal, what did you do? My father meant what he said to you 20 years ago. I have a chance to finish what he started, but I know you're the only one in the way of making that happen. Situation that you wanted me to handle. It's done. Tucker, I need you to meet me in the Plaza. John: What's going on? Barry: Jamal can't run this country. (horns honking) John: So, uh, Jamal killed him? That's what you're telling me? Barry: I tried to help him, but he's... It doesn't matter. I... I can't get him through this. He's not capable. At some point... in a... in a day or a week or a month... he'll snap. And-and never mind your elections. There will be no peace in Abbudin with my brother in power. He has to be removed. John: So
SUMMARY:
Bassam starts to fulfill his father's legacy. Realizing that his brother feels incompetent as a ruler, he hatches a secret plot with Yussef to oust Jamal so that Bassam could ideally establish Abuddin the way his father had wanted. Meanwhile, things go awry when Hakim, the critical member of the coup, refuses to get involved. Also, Bassam is in a quagmire when he tries to force his family to go back home for a week, aggravating his wife in the process.
