The episode opens at the grocery store with Farouk in a suit and Maysa in a long puffer jacket grocery shopping - but it turns out they aren’t shopping for themselves. Even in the scenes where she doesn’t say much, her facial expressions and body language evoke precisely how the character is feeling.


Hiam Abbass as Maysa is phenomenal to watch. Farouk and Maysa’s conversions always make for great comedy, but as always, Ramy isn’t just about the comedy we also get to see the realities of a marriage that’s falling apart. Here, we’re exploring Farouk and Maysa’s marriage and financial troubles. We’ve gotten phenomenal episodes on Maysa and her inner life and marriage, Farouk after he lost his job, and Dena struggling with the pressures of sex. Ramy is often at its best when the focus isn’t on Ramy.
