Eventually, the conversation with Ramy and Olivia circles back to the main theme of the season: fate and free will. He’s always been broken, and he’s never had sex in a healthy way. To know that sex has never been fun for him is just sad. “Touching someone is not - it’s never been fun,” Ramy says.Įven though the admission isn’t that surprising given the type of sex Ramy seeks out, it’s upsetting to hear out loud. Instead, he tells her he just wants the buzzing in his head to go away, and when he has sex, it goes away for a little bit.
But the prostitute he was with when Boomer died, who says her name is Olivia, wants to talk about what happened. Instead of dealing with his problems, he seeks out sex. Every time he’s faced with what his life has become, he escapes to another shameful sexual situation.
He’s taken his friends for granted, and now they’re moving on without him.Īfter that, Ramy heads back to the massage parlor. He steps outside from his business deal, seeing the direct consequences of his actions. They’re all there to help Steve, shutting Ramy out of an important event in his friend’s life. Ramy, of course, is upset Steve isn’t buying from him, but they all walk away and leave him standing on the street alone.Īlthough this was a quick scene, it did a nice job of showing Ramy’s distance from his friends now. This episode moves fast, though, and Ramy (as well as the audience) barely has time to process the conversation before we’re faced with Mo, Ahmed, Steve, and Lena standing outside with Naseem to buy a ring for Steve’s engagement. From there, I immediately knew things wouldn’t end well. They want Ramy to be more involved in the business, and they hand him a watch that’s worth more than anything he’s ever sold, telling him to take it to a specific address. And anyway, that’s not what they’re there to discuss. She says there’s not much she can do even though she previously told Ramy it would be easy. In the next scene, Ramy is meeting with Ayala and Salim, and he asks Ayala if she helped Khaled, the kid who was arrested.

She tells them removing these things can be cleansing, like Marie Kondo, who “really figured out how to deal with immigrant clutter.” This show is remarkably good at depicting the microaggressions of white people. But the Realtor, a white woman, wants to cleanse the space of its “ethnic energy,” and she goes so far as to take down a framed passage from the Quran that’s up on the wall.
Meanwhile, Farouk and Maysa are selling the house. But the fact that she let him see the baby in the first place leaves the door open. Of course Ramy would want to be involved in his daughter’s life, and of course Zainab would say no. He can help financially, but Zainab doesn’t want his Israeli money near her daughter, and she doesn’t want him disrupting her life. In the very first scene, Ramy is holding his baby, Amina, telling Zainab he wants to be more involved. We had so many things left to deal with: the secret baby, Farouk and Maysa’s marriage, the family’s finances, Dena not taking the bar, Ramy working for the Israeli mob, the Palestinian kid in prison - the list goes on and on. The season finale, when everything the previous nine episodes had been building toward comes to a head.
