That's gorgeous.
Yeah.

Hello, people,
let me get my spotlight.

- Ahh, camel! Camel!
- Oops.

Previously, on
"The Real Housewives of Dubai"...

You found my locations.

We found three amazing
options for you.

Being able to start over
and reinventing yourself

is a way of life in Dubai.

Sophia, you look like
a tough girl to me.

Let's do this.

I am definitely a rebel,
but I'm a fusion

between my culture
and my religion

and me being very open-minded,
and modern,

and experimental.

Everyone is gonna be so sick
of this wedding

after it's done.

I'm almost sick of it,
and I'm-I'm in it.

So, Brooks called me.

She told me she's only inviting
the most important people.

Why are we talking about
something I wasn't part of?

- You weren't invited.
- Oh, wow, wow, wow.

Who likes you?

I have never met anyone
that likes you.

They don't hate me
because I'm beautiful.

They hate me
because they're basic.

A woman should
be two things,

who and what
she wants.

The desert
is ruthless,

but nothing is
more savage than me.

The only thing
you can take from me

are notes.

If you think money
can't buy you happiness,

you clearly haven't
been to Dubai.

In the city of gold,

nothing shines
brighter than me.

*THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF DUBAI*
Season 01 Episode 02

Episode Title: "The G.O.A.T."
Aired on: June 08, 2022.

I wanted to make a cake.
Can we?

- Wow.
- Yeah, of course.

Today is the cake day.

- Okay, now mix, mix, mix, mix.
- Go, go, go, go.

Okay, you need to mix
really hard,

really hard, really hard.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Am I a good cook?
- No.

Hey.

I give you allowances.
You know that.

You need to always
say good things.

- I wanna ask you a question.
- Yeah.

- Is cooking for women or men?
- Both.

- Wow, very good.
- Add this.

I have been raising my son
as a single mom

from the day he was born.

I do not raise my son
based on the way

his father wants.

Baby, dinnertime.
Come.

In the Arab world,

they sometimes promote
toxic masculinity

where a man should not
show his emotions,

a man should not cry,

but a man is a human being
with emotions.

This is what
I'm raising my son to be.

Okay, dinner, let's go.
Actually, you know what?

Let's try one more time
on the floor with our hands.

No.

Mami, I need to pass
the culture to you.

- It is...
- Listen.

In the UAE,
my grandmother, my mom,

they used to always
eat on the floor.

You need to learn s-some of
the traditional stuff,

so you can teach your kids
when you grow up.

Maureen, can you get
the floormat, please?

I'm gonna teach you
how my grandmother did it.

Okay, come, come.

Step number one,
take your fingers,

and you hold the rice
like this.

Just try.
Come.

You do the...
You do a ball.

Open.

I tried, Maureen.
I tried.

- You were trying.
- I tried.

I'm doing
the traditional thing.

My parents,
when I was raised up,

they were like
best friends to me.

They were open.
They gave me my freedom.

But at the same time,

there were things about
the upbringing

that I told myself,
when I grow up,

I don't wanna do
the same to my kid.

I'm not-I'm not trying.

You guy-you guys can do
the-the modern thing.

- The modern. Come on, baby.
- Yeah.

In my family, lunch and dinner
is always on the floor.

It is kinda hard
in today's modern world

to preserve the traditions and
to pass them to the children,

and I try with Maktoum.

Like, I keep
trying and trying.

He doesn't get it, but I'm...

You know,
we gotta keep it in there.

Wait, let's call baba ahab.
Let's call grandfather.

Sit down.

- Hello.
- Hello, ahab.

- Yes, habibi.
- I baked a cake.

You what?
You baked a cake?

- Yeah.
- I cannot believe that.

- Yeah, he did.
- Yeah.

Yeah, you have to show me.

You have to show me
a video or pictures.

- Which flavor is it?
- Vanilla.

You have to teach me now
how to bake a cake.

Okay.

- Okay.
- Huh?

Of course.
We did not read anything off a box.

Just tell baba
you baked a cake and say bye.

Give him a kiss.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Love you, baba.
Bye.

- Hi.
- Hi. Hello.

- Welcome to Deseo.
- I need a table for two.

Thank you.
Table for two, please.

Yeah, sure.

Let me escort you
to your table.

Oh, the weather
is so perfect.

Excellent.
Thank you very much.

- Have a seat, please.
- Thank you.

Hello. Hi.
How are you?

Hi. Hello.

Can I order a quick drink
while I'm waiting for my friend?

- Definitely.
- Do you guys have bell in is?

Bellinis?
We can definitely make it.

- Can I have a bellini?
- Yes.

- Thank you so much.
- Hello.

- Please.
- Thank you.

- Hi. How are you?
- Hi, gorgeous.

You look great.

I was just about to order
a bellini

- while I was waiting for you.
- Really?

You look so good.

I didn't know
you would get here so quickly.

- Hi.
- I'll just have champagne.

- Okay, thank you.
- Perfect. Thank you.

Thank you.

Oh, my God, it's been long
since we had a night out.

We do a lot of friends
nights out,

but we haven't done, like,
a solo night.

We have not.

We haven't done
a mommies night out

- in, like, months.
- We have not.

Crazy. Cheers.

Yeah, cheers to
mommies night out.

Cheers to mommies night out.

Oh, my God,
so much to talk about.

Before we go there,
can I just say one thing

- that I've missed?
- What?

Is our little kikis.
It's been so long.

- It's been-it's well overdue.
- I feel like it really has.

Literally, I feel like
all of our friends

have been having so many, like,
parties, gatherings, events.

Yeah.

And it's just like
then with the kids

being back into, like,
full school mode,

- no more distant learning.
- Exactly, exactly.

I'm actually happy that
my kids are back to school.

Me, too.
Well, kind, of sort of.

Because I suck-I suck
at distance learning.

I've known Lesa
since she was pregnant with Max,

and I feel like we have
a deep rooted connection

because of my Caribbean roots.

My mother's mother,
my grandmother,

is 100% Jamaican.

Brooks is something
different every week.

One week, she's Afro-Latina.

The next week,
she's African American.

Next week, she's Jamaican.

The following week,
she's gonna be Emirate.

She really has multiple
personalities syndrome, MPS.

Is-is MPS a thing?

I-I think I made it up.

Have you seen
Nina's Instagram?

I was... I've been dead for,
like, the last two days.

- No, I haven't.
- Okay.

What?

I saw something
very interesting.

What is that?

"Every blonde
needs a brunette bestie."

- Bestie?
- Please explain to me

when Nina Ali became
best friends with

- Caroline Stan bury.
- Yeah. I don't know.

- Because from what I remember...
- Mm-hmm.

Nina has been the only person
in our friendship circle...

Yeah. Mm-hmm.

That has ever talked
so badly about Caroline.

This is why
it's so crazy to me.

And you know me.
I cannot pretend.

I'm not a pretender.

- Neither am I. I can't.
- You know, I'm not a pretender.

Even if you even paid me,
I can't do it. So, for me...

For me, I'm, like,
"Girl, what's going on?"

Like, you don't keep
the same energy.

So, I've known Nina the longest,

and when Stan bury was trying to
be friends with me,

Nina would warn me
to be careful of her.

And to be honest,
some of the things that she said

were so horrible
I won't even repeat it.

Um, she's ghetto.
She's ratchet.

She's trashy.
Those are the good things.

All the things that I'm saying
are the good things.

I'm just gonna let people
sink in their own ship.

I'm not Rose.
I'm not going down in that.

Don't send a floatie.

Girl, I'm not going
down with that ship.

Bye.

So, how is everything
with you and Ayan?

- We're all good?
- Ayan and me, Lesa...

But you guys have been
like that forever.

Really?

Like, we fight like hell,
and then we kiss and make up.

I'm sure you're tired already,
at this point.

I am.

I need another drink.

Every time me and Ayan
are around each other,

you know we're gonna go
like two rams,

- two bulls in a China shop.
- Yeah, absolutely.

And then, you know,
five minutes later,

you're gonna find us
over by the bathroom door

hugging, and laughing,
and-and requesting shots.

Yeah, yeah.

Ayan and I have a very
interesting relationship.

She annoys the sh... out of me.

Can't live with her.
Can't live without her.

That's Chanel Ayan, honey.

Oh, this all
looks delicious.

All ready for you.
Wow, very nice.

- This-this is delicious.
- Ahh, gracias.

Thank you.

Oh, that's so pretty.

That looks like...
That looks like, um...

- It looks like cheddar.
- Cheddar.

Parmesan I could digest.
Cheddar I can't.

Is it cheddar or parmesan?

Girl, I can't tell
the difference with cheese.

- Cheese is cheese.
- No.

I don't like it anyway.

Okay, let's
just take a shot.

- Okay, ready?
- Okay.

Salut.
You ready?

- Okay, to mom's night out.
- To mom's night out.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Playing no games.
Ahh.

- Ahh!
- I love the burn. Cheers.

Where are we going
after this?

Let's go to, like, 1OAK.
Let's go somewhere.

- Let's go party.
- Let's go party.

Coming up next...

Oh, my God.

How much is this one?

$5.6 million.

Let's just have
a protein shake

- before everybody gets here.
- Yes.

Honey, don't add water
in a smoothie.

It's not a protein smoothie.

It's too thick
without the water.

We never put water in it.
It's horrible.

- I do. I'll drink it.
- Baby, no one...

- Otherwise, it's full of fat.
- Oh, okay, okay.

So, the water
eliminates the fat.

No. Otherwise, it's
a full glass of almond milk.

There we go.
You're welcome.

I just saved you
a sh... load of calories.

Here, I'll open it.
I wanna show the girls Cocoa.

- Hi.
- Hey, good to see you.

Oh, my God,
we've all got these.

I just bought these earrings.

- Oh, how are you?
- Nice to see you.

- This is my newest edition.
- Yeah, look at this guy.

Hello, gorgeous.

- Can I hold her?
- Yeah.

- Yeah, please.
- Oh, wow, you guys,

look at this,
so much nature.

Thank... you know what?
I grew up in...

It doesn't even feel like
Dubai, does it?

It doesn't. I'm building
a house literally at the end.

- Oh, she just bit me.
- Uh, she's teething.

- She's not biting.
- Oh, my God.

That's why all the
other dogs hate her.

Excuse me, ma'am.
No, no, no.

We're building our dream house
in Al Barari, which is

where we've always lived,
and I love it.

Buying a house in Dubai
is a whole 'nother ballgame.

You can't get mortgages here
if you're self-employed.

You have to put
30% to 40% down cash,

so it's not as easy
to buy here

as it is anywhere else
in the world.

So, I have to move out
of here in January.

How far along
are you guys on the house?

Well, it's gonna be ready
by the end of next summer.

So, um... hi.

- Oh, there's dogs everywhere.
- Yes.

Are the rules
of the house,

is everyone has a dog
on their lap?

- I think so.
- We're missing two.

Do you want one?

- I've got two more.
- Look at this.

- I got... I got mine.
- Hi, gorgeous.

- Hi.
- Good to see you.

Good to see you, too.
Oh, okay, I'll put that one.

- You wanna take that one?
- Oh, my God,

- you get a baby, too?
- Yes!

This one was just
gifted to me.

- So cute.
- Yes, but she's so naughty.

Why?

I wanted to show you
a quick thing.

So, I-I've been here
for five years now.

- Okay.
- Mm-hmm.

And look-look.
I just wanted to show you...

- Oh, I like that.
- Oh, this is so cute. I love it.

I-I've gotta show you
my podcast room.

I mean, I'm divorced,
and I'm not dead.

To be able to get divorced
in this country,

is quite hard to do
in itself,

to be a single woman,
to raise your children.

Any woman who has made
a life in a country

that is this foreign,

there is a certain amount
of hustle that goes into it.

None of us were left
in giant golden cages

with, like,
endless pots of money.

That just doesn't happen.

Yeah, I was telling her
this house sold,

so I have to leave in January,

and I'm building
a house here.

I need green. I-I'm-the house
we're building is on water.

So, I look out of my window,
and I've got a river.

You know,
when you move here,

you don't think you're gonna
live in Dubai for long.

I rented for so long because
I owned a house in England,

and I was like,
I'm not gonna stay here.

- Yeah.
- Nobody can leave Dubai.

Once you're here,
you're... you're here.

I know a lot of expats
that have been in the UAE

for ten, fifteen years.

A majority, like 80%
of the country, is expats.

We're the minority here.

They're everywhere,
so we're co-living.

Since I moved here,
and I got divorced,

I'm so sort of, like,
about my energy and everything.

- Like...
- You're-you're right.

Energy is, like,
it's crazy.

- It's everything. Yeah.
- It's everything.

But it reminds me.
It's like,

we all got together
the other day.

Yeah, the energy
was off the other day.

Hi, Stan bury.
Nice to see you.

Caroline.

Caroline, Stan bury...
Is the same to me.

- Hi. How are you?
- Hi.

No, that's my first name.

The other one's my surname.
Thank you.

I was blindsided
in that dinner

because she came for me
really strong,

and I've never been anything
but a friend for her.

- I was hurt by that.
- Yeah.

I know her, and I think
that she has a beautiful heart.

That's why the situation
that night surprised me

because I've never seen her
behave that way.

Obviously,
the girl got triggered,

and people who have
went through trauma,

they feel like
everything is...

Trauma from not being
invited to...

No, no, it's probably
from the past,

and I really wanna have
a conversation with her.

Mm-hmm.

And I think she owes you
a direct apology.

I'm certified
in life coaching,

and, also, like,
I've healed from my own traumas,

so I know how trauma
can change your behavior.

There were certain words
that Brooks said

that just made Ayan,
like, fire up

even more, and more,
and more.

So you can tell
she was triggered.

I think we should
leave her better

than the way
we found her.

No, I really don't need
to accept her time

or her energy, right now.

I'm very sorry if she's had
trauma in her life,

but she's not gonna
add to mine.

Hello. Good afternoon.

Sure, of course.
I'll take you to your table.

Yes, please.

Thank you very much.
Thank you.

You're welcome.

I am so sexy.

Hello.

- Hey, Nina.
- Hi. How are you?

I'm good, baby.
So nice to see you.

- You, too.
- Yeah.

- You look amazing.
- Oh, my God, you, too.

- Look how gorgeous you look.

I feel like you
just came off the runway.

- Yeah, Givenchy runway today.
- Okay.

I guess dress code
was runway,

and I showed up
for casual lunch.

I am the queen of fashion.

It's like, I'm Rihanna,

and then Nina...

I don't need to wear

I just wear

I have love for Nina.
She tries. She tries.

- Thank you. - Welcome to Fi'lia.
- Yes.

Would you like
refreshing cocktails?

Do you have
any fresh juices?

We can do pineapple.
We can do orange.

Oh, pineapple,
please, for me.

- Pineapple.
- Yes.

I'm gonna stick
with water for now.

- Of course, ladies.
- Thank you.

- Pleasure.
- Thank you.

So, what are you doing
for Thanksgiving?

'Cause I'm going to
Lesa's house with my husband

- and my son.
- Oh, very nice.

- Yes, yes.
- Yeah, she invited us.

We decided to,
like, go to Blue waters,

and we're gonna have, like,
a nice little dinner there.

- Nice, nice.
- On the wheel.

- On the Ain... Yes.
- No way.

- I invited Sara, as well.
- Oh, nice.

Thanksgiving
isn't celebrated

as much as, you know,
for instance, Christmas

because it's more of
an American holiday,

but it's very important for me
to celebrate Thanksgiving

'cause, for me,
it was, like,

one of my favorite holidays
in the U.S. growing up.

Thanksgiving
is a very weird story.

I'm from Africa.

We've had many colonizers that
were not supposed to be there,

so I don't wanna
get into it.

Oh, my God, I wanted
to invite you for lunch,

so we can catch up about
that drama that happened

- the other night.
- Oh.

And I just wanted to
apologize because, honestly,

you worked so hard
on that dinner.

Yeah.

I just don't know
what happened, to be honest.

- I know. I know.
- Stan bury kept on saying,

"I don't like you.
I don't like you."

I was like, what the hell
is going on?

You know,
and I-I was really wondering

why you didn't stand up for me
when she kept on saying,

"I don't like you,
I don't like you,

I don't like you,"
because...

But, Ayan,
I don't even recall that.

- Yes, I was.
- Hmm.

Stan bury and Ayan,
they're not close,

so why should she even care?
Like, it's not that deep.

Move forward.

Don't invite her
to your next event.

Even Steven.

When everybody was leaving,
I was like, "What happened?"

And she's like,
"I don't know."

She goes,
"I thought we were cool,

- but she came in guns blazing."
- Oh, please!

No. Just because
I'm from Somalia

does not mean
I come with guns blazing, 24-7.

No, it's-it's... I know,
but-but it has nothing to do

with where you're from.
She just felt...

Of course, it does.
We have a lot of guns.

- I'm from Texas. Come on.
- We have a lot of guns.

You don't mess with us.
I didn't come in guns blazing.

I came in knowing
that I was excluded

from hanging out
with all of you.

- I understand.
- ...about it,

and it just took me
to a bad place.

I know.
Ayan, I know. I know.

I know. I know.

So, when someone comes to me
and says, "I don't like you,"

it makes me really angry

because I work so hard
to be who I am.

My anger is mostly
with Stan bury,

the way she talked to me
in front of me.

Why make me feel secluded?

Why make me feel like
I was unimportant?

It's not okay.

It was a game for her.
It was a pleasure thing.

I went home, and I was crying
because I just felt like

I was that little girl
that was not good enough.

- Here's the burrata e basta.
- Oh, thank you.

- Thank you very much.
- Prawns with rocket leaves.

Thank you very much.

I feel like you
and Caroline Stan bury

have totally misunderstood
each other.

Trust me, Ayan.

I didn't like Stan bury
when I first met her.

- I know. You told me.
- I didn't like her.

- She was not my cup of tea.
- I know.

And the funny thing is,
when I talked to her,

when I actually sat down
and talked to her,

she said, "You know what?
Uh, it's funny.

"I feel the same way
about you.

"I didn't think you were
my cup of tea, either."

But, like, I gave
her the chance.

Nina, I see you for
who you are, flip flopper,

skyscraper, climbing
the mother ****ing sky,

and she's also
very boring.

I'm sorry. I've given out
enough chances.

Would you give her
one more chance with-like,

- let's talk about it.
- No, but it's not the time.

It's not the time
for me, right now.

- I'm saying-why not?
- 'Cause it's not the time.

But why-why not
put the flames out?

What-what are gonna
get out of holding it?

There's no flame.
There's volcano.

- There is flames.
- There's volcano.

Kristian, what
should we get first?

- Cookies.
- Cookies?

Okay, let's start with meat.

Hi. Do you guys have
the Oscar Meyer bacon?

It's-it's out.
Oh, okay.

Aww, they don't
have our bacon.

One really interesting thing
about the supermarkets in Dubai,

is that pork is in
a completely separate part

of the supermarket.

You have to be
non-Muslim to enter

this part
of the supermarket,

and I feel like that's the part
I live in the most.

Hi, Joel.
Kristian, say, "Hi."

- Hi.
- Hello.

Okay, so, I need lamb chops.

Oh, I'm doing this for
Thanksgiving dinner,

so it's more
than the usual.

Let me get
the organic ones.

- No problem.
- And give me 20 pieces.

- Twenty pieces.
- Yeah.

It's almost Thanksgiving,
and just because I'm in Dubai

does not mean
I'm not gonna keep up

with my Jamerican traditions.
It's amazing.

We celebrate all
the different holidays,

and Thanksgiving is one
of my favorites.

Turkey, turkey, turkey.

My turkey is there,
but it's jerked.

We love our curry goats.

We love rice and peas,
all of that.

You've been really good
for mommy today,

- so you can have a cookie.
- Yay.

Yay, I know you
like that. Yeah.

- You want an Oreo?
- Yeah.

Okay, you can
have one cookie.

Okay, only one.

Hello.

Oh, hi!

Oh, I love those sunnies.

Say hi to Auntie Nina.

- Hi.
- Hi.

I-I haven't seen anyone
since your lovely dinner.

I had so much fun.

Yes.

I, actually, I had lunch
yesterday with Ayan

- 'cause I hadn't...
- Oh.

I don't know.
I just feel like

there's so much unsaid
with emotions.

- Okay.
- Of course,

with Caroline Stan bury,

and I-I could understand
her feelings.

- Yeah, okay.
- But yesterday,

she was like,
"Oh, I felt like, you know,

"you weren't, uh, taking my side
or sticking up for me."

- Oh.
- And I'm like,

"Ayan, I didn't know
there were sides."

I said, "I was trying to
diffuse the situation.

"I was trying to calm you
and Caroline Brooks."

- Yeah.
- And I tried.

- Yeah, yeah.
- I tried to stop y'all so many times.

Obviously, nobody was
even listening to me,

like I didn't exist
at that table.

Right.

It's so critical that
they both sit down together

- and just talk it out.
- Listen, girl,

I don't wanna
cut you off,

but my kid is
climbing out of the-

Yes, go.
Oh, I know how it is.

The trolley... he wants out
to get out of the supermarket.

So, I'm gonna love you
and leave you.

Say, "Bye." Say, "Bye."
Say, "Bye."

- Bye.
- Bye.

- Okay, honey, bye.
- Have a wonderful day. Bye-bye.

Kristian.

Kristian, have you been
eating cookies this whole time?

Close.

Oh, now you wanna
close it.

Yeah.

All the evidence
is on your face.

I thought I told you no more
cookies until you got home.

Cookies.

- $1,362.82.
- Sure, yeah.

Okay.

You little cookie monster.

Coming up next...

I wanna go
around the table,

and I want everyone to
just give me one thing

that they're thankful for.

Well, I will be thankful
when nothing bad happens

on this thingy. So...

♪ Finish line is mine
where do I begin ♪

♪ Count my blessings though ♪

♪ Quitting is a sin ♪

All right. So, I'm gonna
do curry-curry-curry.

So, get my...
All my curry stuff.

What should I do?

Curry powder,

complete seasoning...

I need the big pot
for the curry.

Okay.

I don't know. I feel like
I'm gaining weight.

These gloves
don't fit anymore.

I could hire a caterer to do
all of this cooking for me,

but, in Jamaica,
we say love my belly.

I love my food.
I love my stomach.

I need pimento.

I just really like cooking
really delicious food,

and it's something
that makes me happy,

as well as my kids
and my husband.

Okay, perfect.

Now, I just need to go
check on the event planners

to make sure that the decorating
and everything is set.

Just keep an everything
on everything for me, Dory.

Okay.

Just makes sure
nothing gets burned.

Okay.

'Cause I cannot have a
burned Thanksgiving dinner.

Are you guys excited?

We are gonna have lunch
literally in the sky.

I'm not even
afraid of heights.

Wow!

Oh, wow.

Hello.
This is so beautiful.

Ayan, you have a seat here.
That's got your name.

That's not how
you spell my name.

Can I have some of
the bread, Sophia?

Yeah, Sophia.

Do you mind
sharing the carbs?

But it's scary.
What if it starts moving?

- You won't feel it.
- We are moving.

Don't they have it
on their side?

- I'm pretty sure.
- But we are moving.

Can you not see?
We're moving.

Help yourself.

I'm too petrified.

Oh, my God,
she's so cute.

For me, Thanksgiving
is so special

because it's the one time
of the year that

the whole family
gets together.

Like, every year,
since I was four,

and I moved from Lebanon,
every year, my-my aunt,

she hosts Thanksgiving.

I miss Thanksgiving
in the U.S.

I was born in Lebanon,
but we moved to the U.S.

when I was four.

And growing up, first, it was
very, very challenging

because we didn't
speak the language,

and I would sit
with my grandmother,

and we would watch
the soap opera called

"All My Children."

I feel like
I learned my English

watching "All My Children"
and listening to music,

running around, like,
singing "Like a Virgin,"

not knowing what on earth
I was singing

at, like,
five, six years old.

Like, I have family
that flies in

from all around the world,

and it's like
a family reunion.

My kids love and appreciate
all the holidays

that we celebrate together,

but I think they tend to
gravitate a little bit more

towards the American ones,

but that's only because
they've experienced those

with family around,

and when we gather,
it's like true Lebanese style.

It's like a full house.

I wanna go around the table,

and I want everyone
to just give me one thing

that they're thankful for.

Well, I will be thankful
when nothing bad happens

on this thingy, so...

Mommy, you know that thing
you're eating, right now,

has mayonnaise in it?

- She knows your diet.
- My mouth is warm, though.

It's kinda weird
eating mayonnaise.

I'm the one that
doesn't have a diet.

So, today's menu consists of
traditional Thanksgiving meal,

along with, like,
an Arabic, Dubai touch.

So, we've got turkey.
We've got kibbeh.

We've got shish tawook.

Fries!
Give me a fry, please.

And you know I had to get
some French fries in there.

Look, you see our rooftop.

Guys, everyone look
at the red teddy bear.

That's daddy's new
entertainment center

- for you children.
- Wow.

I started off being a banker,
and I got into hotel business.

Okay.

And then I sold
all these businesses

when I learned about
crypto currency and bit coins.

Wow.

When I was courting her,
I didn't have,

you know, what I have now.
I didn't have the success.

When I met my husband,
he really had nothing.

We started together.

There was a time in my life
where I worked

four jobs,
seven days a week.

I know how to hustle.

I still hustle.
I'll bargain.

I'll take a coupon,
if I find it.

And what is
the secret for you

for, like, a long marriage?

I let her do
what she wants.

The only people
that tell me what to do

are-are my children.

Especially this one,
right here.

She's a boss.

How did you and
your husband meet?

Through my cousin's
now brother-in-law.

He saw my-my picture.

- Okay.
- And then inquired about me.

And then next thing
I know...

He always gets embarrassed
when I tell this story.

Next thing I know,
he was, like, flying

every two, three weeks
to come see me.

- From where?
- From Dubai.

You flew to America
every couple of weeks.

- Yes, literally.
- Yeah.

- That's amazing.
- You know what? I-I...

He became a platinum user
because of me.

The thing is,
I believe in marriage,

and I believe in love
and fairytales.

'Cause you've been married.
She's been married.

- Twice.
- You know, twice.

I know.
I-I chose the wrong people.

Three times?
Come here.

I think he's got gossip.
Come here.

Hang on a minute.

I swear it's two times.

He's like, "I swear."

So, you know,
how women are.

They just wanna fix men.

I was the provider.

- I was the-the-the brains.
- You were the... really?

I was everything,
so it was just tiring,

and it was, like,
a very toxic relationship.

Thank God these two situations
are out of my life,

but I still, when I sit
with my-my mom and dad,

and I'm like,
"I believe in love,

"and I wanna get married,"
my mom is like,

"It's enough.
You've tried."

But third time is
the charm, right?

Third time is
the charm, yeah.

My parents don't mind me
falling in love,

and getting married,
and finding the one,

but what they care about
and fear for me,

is the pressure
of the society around me

and the judgment of divorce

that might impact my life
in a negative way

and affect me
on a personal level.

I believe in fairytales,
and I feel like

I'm gonna have
my fairytale soon.

You will.
Manifest it.

- I...
- Manifest it.

Manifest it.

Okay, let's check
the turkey.

Okay.

Taj, open my door.

Thank you, cookie.

Hey, buddy.

Aww, hon, it's okay.

Oh, it's okay.
It's okay.

I think my guests
are here.

Let me go outside to say hi.

- Hold him like this?
- Because I wanna walk him in...

Yeah, yeah.

- Oh, but he's so cute.
- Close the door for me.

Yes, give me that leash.

- Yeah, of course.
- Thank you.

- Yeah.
- Okay, let's go.

What is that?

Coming up next...

You know, she told me
in the middle of that lunch,

"I don't wanna have sides."

Yeah, but anyway,
she's closer to you

- than she is with Caroline.
- Yeah,

What is that?

Is this a goat?

It is totally a goat.

You should never bring
a goat to a Jamaican house.

It's a goat.
A Jamaican, yeah, no.

Curry him.
I'm Jamaican.

You're gonna curry him?
Are you serious?

In Jamaica, this animal
will definitely be

in somebody's pot.

We would curry it,
mannish water it,

goat and soup it,
all of that.

But we're in Dubai, girl.

What do you think
I'm gonna do with this goat

besides my kids
making him or her a pet?

I cannot get over it.

Oh, you know Charlena.

- Hey, girl.
- Hi.

How are you?

She's here for
my fashion show.

- Hi.
- Hi, how are you?

Good. How are you?

Good to see you.
Welcome back.

Good to see you.
You look beautiful.

- Oh, my gosh, what?
- We got a goat.

The reason why
I brought you a goat,

- is, in Kenya...
- Yeah.

If somebody shows
you love,

and you invite my family
to your house,

you give them something
that's so special to you.

- Aww.
- So, in our cultures,

like, goats
are so important.

- Oh, really?
- When you get married, you get goats.

When you get engaged,
you get goats.

- Aww, thank you.
- And you are there for me

so much a few nights ago
when I was in a bad place,

and I told
Chris and Taj, I'm like,

"What can I get this girl
that I think matters

- so much to my soul?"
- Honestly, I love it.

- So, I was like, the goat.
- We're gonna keep the goat.

Lesa is really,
like, ride.

She rides for me.
I ride for her so hard.

She's always there for me.

Like, she's got my back,

and that's something
that you don't buy.

She just loves me,
and I love her.

Okay, guys, let's sit.

I cooked everything.
I literally cooked everything.

Oh, we are so excited,
and we're so hungry.

Um, Ayan, you're there.

I'm here, okay.

Well done, all this stuff.
It's amazing.

- Thank you.
- It's very nice.

- It feels like home.
- I made it.

- You did? Max did.
- Really?

She cooked this?

A hundred percent,
she cooked all of this stuff.

- Yeah.
- Yes.

- That's amazing.
- All day, yes.

The only-the only things that
were delivered were the cakes.

Lesa, how do you be

that beautiful
and gorgeous boss lady,

a great mother
on the planet,

and cook like this?
You know, for me,

I actually look up
to her a lot.

I love your wife.

Oh, my God, honestly,
when I'm having a bad day,

I just call her because I know
she's gonna make me laugh.

- Like, she is my therapy.
- Why do you think I...

You call her regardless,

- honestly.
- Yeah.

- I do call her a lot.
- Why do you think

I've been married to her
for 20-plus years?

- Yeah.
- We need your secret.

You know, honestly,
I-I've told you this,

and I've opened up to you
so much about myself.

I didn't actually know
what love was until I met him.

- I told you.
- Yeah.

He taught me
how to feel loved.

It's really special.
Like, when I'm down,

he's like, "You don't
have to be down.

Just remember who you are.
Feel good about yourself."

I've been with
my husband since 1999.

My sister introduced me
to him.

We were out, I'd just
graduated high school, actually,

and he was-wanted to
dance with me

because I'm
a ****ing great dancer.

I can move, man.

So, he liked my dance moves,

and then he wanted
to get to know me,

and it was just like
love at first sight.

Oh, the goat is
in the pool!

Oh, my God, can he swim?

- He can swim.
- He can swim.

- Yeah.
- He can. Look.

No, man. No, man.

Taj, save him.

Taj, save the goat.

You got it, Taj?

- Yeah, got it.
- There you go, you got it.

Okay, so,

maybe you don't wanna
do that again, goat.

Yeah.

I cannot believe the goat
went for a swim.

Oh, my God, Lesa, where I go,
there is something happening.

- How is the food, boys?
- Oh, so good.

It was fantastic.

How good a cook is mommy?

The best, huh?

Oh, I have a lot
to catch up you on

since our dinner last time.

- Yeah.
- Um,

so, I wanted to apologize
to Nina for the dinner stuff,

- what happened and things like that.
- Yeah, yeah.

But honestly,

I didn't know
who she was that day.

What do you mean?

You know, she told me
in the middle of the lunch,

"I don't wanna have sides."

Yeah, but anyway,
she's closer to you

- than she is with Caroline.
- Yeah,

but she didn't make it
look like that.

She said she wants to
get you guys together.

I don't know when Nina
became Dalai Lama.

- Dalai Lama.
- So, I don't know

why we have
to sit down and talk.

I don't wanna
sit down with Stan bury

because I feel like
she's gonna be manipulative.

When people show you
their blue color,

you know they're blue.

Why try to see them
in orange?

They cannot be orange.

- To be honest, personally...
- Yeah.

You would know
if I'm ready to do that.

Yeah, yeah.

She showed me
she's mean, unkind,

does not support me,
or doesn't want me.

There's an issue with her.

That is an issue that
she needs to deal with

in her ****ing soul.

And on that, period
and mother ****ing dot.

Taj, where is the goat?

I have no clue.

- Is the front gate closed?
- I earned the goat.

I'll check.
I'll check here.

Oh, my God, we're
gonna go to our house

and leave you with
all this.

We should find
that goat.

We need to find
that goat.

I don't know
where the goat is.

We think the goat might have
slipped through the gate.

- What?
- You think so?

- Oh, my goodness.
- After I gave you that goat,

my hands are washed
from that goat.

- Now, it's all your stuff.
- Girl, you gave me more work.

You should see what
I'm gonna bring her next,

is the question.

Coming up next...

He beat me so bad.

I don't wanna cry,
but, honestly,

it is not an easy
situation for me to forgive

someone like that.
Honestly, it's not.

♪ Let go let go
let go let go ♪

♪ Hop in my new whip
I'm driving ♪

♪ All dripped out
I'm styling ♪

Do you like
your hair color or no?

It used to be good,
but now you've ruined it,

- and I'm not happy.
- I didn't ruin it.

It used to be so blonde.
Now, it's, like, less blonde,

so it looks, like,
proportionate to your face.

I'm disappointed
at you.

You're disappointed
at me?

I swear to God
you're an old man.

You're not a kid.

Chanel is here.

Wait, wait, wait.

- Oh, my god.
- Wait, baby. Wait, wait.

- Wait, wait, wait.
- Open the door!

- Open the door!
- Maureen, wait.

Hi.

Oh, my God!

Good morning.

Good morning.
How are you? Hi, love.

- Babe.
- I brought you a gift.

You know, honestly,
we have a lot of layers,

so I brought you
onions.

Literally, in my village,
we just don't go

to someone's house
without a gift.

I think
it's really awkward.

I used to have a parrot
like this at home.

Yeah.

And we used to teach it
to talk when we were young.

Thank you for having me
in your house

because, honestly,
every time we met,

I feel like we are
soul connection somehow.

You just feel
the energy, right?

Yeah.
It's a bit hot.

My wig is, like, getting
super, super hot.

Do you mind... do you mind

- if I sit next to you?
- Come, come.

Which will be nice to
be close to you anyway.

Oh, my God,
you are so funny.

This is nice and
much closer, right?

- This is way better.
- Yeah.

I know you're, like,
a businesswoman,

but I would also
like to know Sara.

I mean, I had
a great childhood.

My parents,
they always tell me,

"When you were young, we knew
you were gonna be trouble,

as in, like,
you were determined.

You had your own
philosophies."

Like, my dad told me,
"By the age of five,

you would buy candy
and resell it to your cousins."

Oh, I like that.
So, you've been an entrepreneur.

- That's how you are.
- I was like, damn, I've been...

- Like, yeah, you are.
- An entrepreneur all my life.

- Yes, you have.
- And then when I was 15,

I started
my first business.

So, I feel like I have not
lived my full childhood,

so that's why I'm so playful,
right now.

- Yeah.
- Like, there's still that...

- That, like, child in me.
- The inner child in you, wow.

The inner child that
wants to have fun. Yeah.

So, I have
literally the same.

I've always been
an entrepreneur.

I've always known
how to sell stuff.

My dad would give us
everything in our village.

- We lived really good.
- Okay.

Then suddenly, he just
didn't wanna be a dad anymore,

and he just packed and left,
and my mom was uneducated.

- Mm-hmm.
- She was an orphan,

left by herself
with kids.

So, then I just started
helping my mom, you know.

At 8 years old,
9 years old,

waking up at 4:30
in the morning,

crossing the river
to go buy bananas,

pineapples,
put in the truck.

It gave me a lot of work ethic
as a person, you know,

and it shaped me
to being a businesswoman.

I've done so well for myself
from where I'm from.

Do you feel like
you forgave your father?

No.

I've forgiven
a lot of people in life

but forgiving my father is
the hardest thing I could do.

26 years, I've never
spoken to him.

If you know the stuff
that he's done to me,

he wanted to marry me off
at 14 years old.

Like, at 14 years old,
him coming to say to me,

"Come travel with me
because I miss you,

and, like,
we'll go together."

And I was packing my bags.
I was gonna go with him.

My big sister said,
"Don't do that.

Dad is gonna marry you off,
I've heard."

I think, at 7 or something,
I went to play in the river.

It was raining.
He got really upset with me.

He literally tied me
on a tree...

On a tree,
while it's raining, Sara.

My whole entire life,
all he's done is beat me.

My dad said all the problems
in his marriage started

when I was coming in.

So, I've always looked at myself
like I'm the problem

that caused him
not to love me.

He beat me so bad

that I ran away
with my other sister.

I don't wanna cry,
but, honestly...

Forgiving him is not
something I can do

today or tomorrow.
It's not whatsoever.

I wish.
It's been 26 years.

I wanna ****ing get out
of this situ...

This stuff in my soul,
but it's not.

You know, but I have
a good family.

I have my husband that ****ing
adores the sh... out of me.

He makes me feel so safe.

My dad never, ever
gave that to me. Ever.

- Yeah.
- So, that's why,

at that dinner,
when somebody kept on saying,

"I don't like you,
I don't like you,

- I don't like you"...
- You got triggered.

- It triggered me so bad.
- Because it took you back

to where you felt like
you were I-left out

and not liked
or accepted or...

Yeah, but it was
the first time

- I've ever been triggered.
- Can I advise you?

I-I do hypnotherapy.

- Oh, you do?
- Yes.

- Wow.
- And, Ayan, it's insane.

What was
your session about?

I would like to know
about you, too.

So, I was married twice,
like, disastrous marriages.

Uh, I always choose
partners that are wrong

because I will do
anything to be loved.

In my relationship,
I had physical abuse.

- I had mental abuse, you know?
- Oh, wow.

I know what it feels like
to be in a dark place

and to be hurt
and traumatized,

and I know
how it feels like

to be healed, happy,
and content.

So, I want Ayan
to open up to me,

so I can support her
and help her

because she has no idea,
once you heal, how life changes.

I came out of that
very angry.

Carried it for years
with me.

I used to be triggered easily,
and when you're triggered,

you bleed on people
who didn't cut you.

- Yeah.
- It was not easy.

And I know for you,
it will be even as, like,

- harder...
- Yeah.

Because of what
you went through.

I'm gonna introduce you
to my hypnotherapist.

It's a way of just getting
rid of all of this,

so you can be 110% true
with your family,

- with your child.
- Yeah.

This is the only thing that
I need to understand,

- why I cannot let go of it.
- Yeah.

With what you're saying,
it makes me see

there's a light
out there.

Like, Brooks said to me,
I need to go to-to therapy.

She's been going
to therapist a lot.

I'm like, you know,
maybe I should go.

- Yeah.
- But then I'm like,

Brooks need refund,

because I don't know
if it works.

Next time, on "The
Real Housewives of Dubai"...

Turn it up.

Ahh! Oh, my God,
it's eating me!

I can't think of
anything worse!

- I wanna take a full.
- Okay.

But I wanna show
my alien tattoo...

- Okay.
- 'Cause I'm an alien.

This is my first
fashion show.

Ever?

Olivia, come here.

Who is the first girl?
I need the first girl here.

Oh, my God, I'm gonna
freak the **** out.

Okay, go, go.

All these children,
I can't believe

Sergio is gonna want another
one, Yasmine, eventually.

You're not allowed
to have another one.

I don't care what
Sergio wants.
