Farida gets depressed, as it turns out that she was filmed for a hidden camera; the psychiatrist fails to treat her. The mother decides to get Farida to participate in a beauty contest. As Farida wins, a contestant tries to grab the crown, and a quarrel breaks out between them and the family.

As Mounira brings Farouk from the hospital, she prepares the apartment for Wadie's reception party. Umm Fadi goes to Mounira’s apartment to see Farouk. As Farouk and Umm Fadi get engaged, Wadie calls and says that he's not coming.

As Mounira accuses Umm Fadi that she stole a bracelet from her, she drops the report. When Etidal's son, Danny, arrives, he tells Mounira and her daughters about his family in America. When Mounira and her daughters return from the camp, they discover that Danny got kidnapped in the desert.

A detective investigates Mounira and her daughters to find out how Danny was kidnapped. As a media campaign begins about Danny's kidnapping, he and Farouk return and tell Mounira and the girls about what happened to them in the desert. Danny returns to the US. Rola and Yara buy a mobile phone.

Farouk asks Mounira to accept Umm Selim's invitation to dinner, so she agrees to go with him after he gives her money and promises to pay her debts. As Aliaa and Yara raise pigeons on the roof, the mother returns to find the police, as the neighbor thought that the girls are thieves.

As Farouk admires Mufidah, she agrees to marry him on the condition that he buys the house and writes it in her name. Mounira sells a number of antiques that she owns. Mufidah kicks Farouk out, as it turns out that Umm Fadi's warning was correct.

Mutia asks Mounira to tell Sameh that Rola has caused his son to see again. As Sameh and his family visit Mounira and her daughters, he leaves a painting for them. After a journalist interviews the girls, Mounira buys paintings and starts selling them to Umm Talal, Umm Wissam, and others.

When Farouk returns to Mounira's house, she tells him why she did not open the door to him after she was forced to sell paintings. Mounira asks Farouk to bring the theater director to see Farida and make her the star of his play; the director agrees to train her.

As the director starts training Farida at home, he brings the troupe to train with them; Farouk pays for all these expenses. Farida's name becomes Sonata. As Mounira and her daughters go to see the play, it seems that Farida is having a problem.

As Umm Fadi brings a groom, Fatih, to Farida, he starts to speak in a strange way because he is a businessman who owns gold and a diamond mine. As a contract is made between Fatih and Sonata that included the requests of the two parties and the dowry, it turns out that he works in the slave trade.

When Mutia suggests to Mounira that she hits a punching bag in order to release all her anger, she makes Farida, Farouk, and her daughters do it. Mounira thinks about doing a project called Faziaa's Bag, as she gets the neighbors and people to come and punch the bag for money.

Farida turns her focus to sports as her goal becomes to be a boxing champion. As Rola is interested in modeling, Yara continues to be interested in science. As Farida dreams that Yara has become a model and became better than Rola, she puts a snake near Yara.

When the wife of Wadie's friend, Natasha, comes from Russia, Farouk admires her; he buys her clothes, teaches her Arabic, and learns Russian. Rola swallows the cheat papers that were with her so as not to get caught. Farouk discovers that Natasha is selling clothes for a living.

As Mounira and her daughters dislike the clothes that Natasha bought with Farouk's money, she sets up a fashion show to sell the clothes and donate some money. As Bassem Yakhour and Shokran Mortga are filming nearby, Farouk invites them to the show, and they buy clothes.

Mounira is being investigated regarding Farouk on the belief that he is working with foreign parties, because they invited foreign people in the fashion show that was held to sell the cloth that Natasha bought. As Mounira begins to ask Umm Radi and Umm Wissam how to help her uncle, Farouk returns.

As Umm Wissam tells Mounira that Farouk is a candidate for the Environment Ministry, everyone starts to curry favor with Farouk and Mounira. When Umm Fadi brings two suitors to Farida and Yara, Farouk refuses to become a minister, which makes the suitors change their minds.

As Mounira dreams the same dream of Farida, Yara, and Aliaa, Rola tells them that these are pent-up desires. When Aliaa gets sick, Mounira buys her a parrot. A lifeguard wants to marry Farida, while a suitor proposes to Yara.

As the police arrest Farouk, he is sent to prison. The three daughters start a new life.

As Farouk hosts the thieves he met in jail in Mounira's house, she grows worried that they would rob the house, which actually happens. They also rob the house of Umm Fadi as they tie the three of them. When the girls and Mutia return, Yara calls the police.

As Aliaa tries to teach the parrot to speak, Rola waits for her results. Farida watches romantic films. As Mounira is looking for a way to know whether Wadie will return or not, Mutia takes her to meet a player who might help her. Mutia calls Farouk to tell him that Mounira is missing.

Farouk makes the police search for Mounira. As Rola thinks that Mutia might have a hand in kidnapping Mounira, they tie her with a rope, then interrogate her about Mounira's whereabouts. Then they are surprised by the return of Mounira, who promises to punish them.

It turns out that Mounira went with the fans to celebrate the victory. As Farida tries to persuade Mounira to approve her marriage to the one she loves, she abstains from food. Farouk advises Mounira to reject the groom, while Mutia advises her to prolong the engagement period.

As Farouk tells Mounira that he will open a swimming pool for Farida's suitor if it turns out that he is a good person, Aliaa tells Farida about this and she gives her a lot of money. As Aliaa disappears, everyone starts searching for her, including Munqith who finds her in a computer shop.

Mounira tells Mutia that she went to do magic in order to sabotage the marriage of Munqith to Farida. Munqith proposes to Farouk to produce a series. As Mounira puts the substance that the charlatan gave her in the juice, Farouk drinks it, which makes him dislike Fatima. Rola has an accident.

As Yara loses her memory, Mounira thinks that she has taken the stuff that the charlatan gave her, while the girls try to help Yara regain her memory, especially since she thinks that she is Farida. As Mounira discovers that the charlatan gave her vitamin C, Yara admits that she was doing an act.

Mounira and Farouk prepare to travel to Turkey to their relatives to sabotage Farida's engagement to Munqith. As Mounira collects the names of her neighbors and friends who would go with her, everyone begins writing what they would bring from there, until an earthquake in Turkey cancels the trip.

Mounira and her daughters are sad after the news of Wadie's marriage to another woman, as everyone begins to tell Mounira different stories about him. Farouk tells Mounira that the picture is of a person who looks like Wadie and the police arrested him because he is a fraud.

Mounira thinks about finding a wife for Farouk, as she and her daughters will travel to Mexico like Wadie asked her. As she and her daughters begin to draw Farouk's attention to Umm Fadi, it doesn't work, until they discover that Farouk wants to marry a young woman.

Mounira, her daughters, and Umm Fadi are upset about Farouk's desire to marry the young woman, Mervat. Mounira asks Abu Radhi to watch Mervat. When the girls go to a farewell party at a disco, Farouk sees Mervat dancing with a young man.

Mounira writes down the characteristics of the suitors for Farida and Yara in a marriage office so that they find the best match for her daughters; Farida and Yara refuse to get married that way. Umm Fadi tells Mounira that the marriage office has closed.

As Mounira thinks about opening a marriage office so that she can choose suitable grooms for her daughters, she asks her uncle to take the necessary arrangements for that. When the director asks Mounira to approve Farida's work, she agrees after knowing the salary.

As the director has a hard time teaching Farida how to act, he loses his temper, which makes her get upset; Mounira worries about her. Farida dislikes acting in the series. Umm Fadi relays how the neighbors talk about Farida’s failure in acting.

Umm Fadi proposes to Mounira to start a production company. Farouk tells Mounira that the company changed the director and refused to produce the series. As Mounira proposes to Farouk and the director to partner up with her in the production company, she is arrested for collecting money illegally.

It's revealed that the police arrested Mounira because Yara was in a car with a young man, so she locks her up in the bathroom. As Yara feigns illness, Mounira brings her a doctor. As Mounira asks about the guy to wed him to Farida, he asks for Rola's hand. Farouk returns the money to the people.

Farida is upset because the doctor asked for Rola's hand instead of hers. Umm Fadi tells Farida about a groom who works in the car trade, as she takes her to act as if they were buying a car. As the date of the engagement arrives, his wife and children come; Mounira realizes it was just a dream.

When Farida asks Mounira to produce a video clip for her, she asks for Farouk's help, who brings her a composer named El Asabji, but Farida dislikes him. Farida rejects all composers and directors Farouk brings. Rola tells Mounira that she does not want to marry the doctor.
