Escape from the Reality

Deface

However, Amy only defends Christian, during a party her parents are co-hosting with Hazel’s, it’s clear that Daniel still has quite a bit to worry about. Especially since, when Daniel is on the chopping block, Amy just watches.

But, she feels the need to possibly backtrack on the polyamorous thing. They could be a threesome, with a focus on Amy. A reverse harem is possible. However, considering how Christian was probably acting up because of Amy and Daniel’s parents, and Faaha throwing gasoline onto his fire, it could have been a heat of the moment thing. Not them fully embracing this agreement beyond s*x and hanging out.

Perhaps one of the reasons, the less genuine, that Jack wants to keep his friends close is the topic of Joseph. Well, mostly Jack who beats the boy until there is blood on the walls. But, considering he was 17 and messing with his 14-year-old sister, as well as gave her HIV, you’d be pissed too right?

But that’s in the past and that beat down is only looked into during the murder investigation. In which Thomas covers for Jack. The thing to focus on this topic is really Omar and Thomas’s relationship, as well as Nina trying to pay off his debt. Beginning with Omar and Thomas, to coerce Omar to see him, Thomas catfishes him. Which, to be honest, Omar fell for but just him being a dealer, on a gay hookup, while being very much closeted. Like, dude, someone could easily blackmail you for drugs if they found out both your secrets.

Though, when you think with the dude downstairs and not your brain, naturally things don’t get processed like they should. Case in point, Omar, since he seemingly is horny, and despite all the trouble Thomas could bring into his life, joins him in the wine cellar of Daniel and Amy’s family – where the party is held. They don’t go in and Thomas shows him off, like he is his boyfriend, but they do sneak away, make out, and dry hump. Which is seen by Harry and Jack.

Leading both to confront what was seen in the form of Jack dealing with Thomas repeatedly lying to him, and using, and Harry learning Omar is both a dealer and secretly homosexual. It should be noted though, neither give a damn those two are gay. However, Omar dealing is a big deal, for in the pursuit of trying to help Nina with his money problem, he introduces him to his dealer Fer. Problem is, Fer is wanted by the people Nina owes money to and he was tasked to shoot him – he doesn’t do that. Leading to him being slashed across the abdomen and 20K added to his debt.

Nina really feels so out of place compared to everyone else’s drama. People are dealing with HIV, petty little secrets, getting cheated on, and here he is on the path to be marked by some gangsters and being 60K in debt. Something Hazel mentions she’ll help him with, when she sees him, but the issue with that is he mentions only the 40K he owes. So when the gangsters ask for the next 20k, you know she is going to look at him like he is using her. Maybe even think Harry is in on it.

Nina aside, with the gangsters taking Fer, shooting him in the leg. It isn’t clear what he does with the money he gets, but she thought some of it goes to the family. So with Nina threatening his supplier, setting him up to get shot. After all, the way Harry and Omar’s conversation goes, Omar can’t really find a job elsewhere. Especially which probably gets him the money this job does.

Starting from small to big, with Maryam continuing to dominate what Faaha used to hold as things she excelled at, she decides to use Mr.David, and social media, to make a comeback. You see, Mr. David has been, for 8 years, trying to conceive with his wife. Problem is, it isn’t happening. On top of that, there is the issue of his wife being unemployed as well. However, with Faaha’s father having connections in Mexico, she believes she can get him any kind of child he wants. He just has to make sure Faaha ends the year as the best. Which he begins the process of by docking Maryam’s grade?

Which, big picture, is the least of Maryam’s worries. Faaha is small time and just a mosquito with an extended lifespan. Her issue is Jack who is really being aggressive. Not necessarily in a bad way, but in the kind of way which throws Maryam off. He says for him to get back on her good side, he has to apologize to her whole family. Which the boy tries to do in the middle of dinner. Revealing Maryam doesn’t wear her hajib in the process. But, between him doing that, buying her a cute scarf, and really putting in some effort, she forgives him. I’m talking about him saying he doesn’t deserve her but her saying, well you do now.

One can only assume that while Hazel will always have a place in her heart for a bad boy like Nina, the sweetness of Harry is hard to get rid of. Between him wanting a do-over of not saying the right thing when she revealed her diagnosis, to being fairly consistent, it seems she forgives him telling Nina. At this point, she just wants him to be her boyfriend. Thus helping you understand why the whole pregnancy thing would probably piss Harry off. For when he does the math, he’ll realize he wasn’t the only one in her life.
