After Shafaat kicks him out, Imam looks for another place with Salwa's help. Shafaat tries to win him over, and tempts him by giving him the room back for two months free of charge.
Imam agrees to Shafaat's offer and stays in the room for two months. Hamed agrees with Sawsan, Madbouly's daughter, and Sayed to make her father agree to her marriage to Sayed in exchange for Sayed bringing him the key to Shafaat's office.
Shafaat goes out with Imam to make him obedient to her. Salwa meets her university colleague Hatem, who tries to woo her. Sayed gives Hamed a copy of Shafaat's office key.
