Ally calls Huda and tells her that she is going to Jordan in the next day or two, and Huda packs a backpack for Khalid. Abdul Amir comes home with Abu Issa and the Bolt Cutter and refuses to talk to Huda. Huda worries that the mukhabarat know about her plan, but they have come because Abdul Amir told Abu Issa about Hatim, who has now been killed by the Bolt Cutter. Huda tells Abdul Amir that she is packing money in Khalid’s backpack to leave town, and Abdul Amir gives them permission out of shame.

Khalid comes home and asks why Huda is upset. Huda tells him that they are taking a day trip to the lake with Rania, Ally, and Hanan. Khalid accepts the idea of taking a day off school, and Huda wonders how he will react when he finds out about the plan to leave Iraq.

Ally pretends to have a migraine to avoid confronting Tom about her and Huda’s plan, but the next day, she has trouble resisting Tom’s charms. Ally spots a taxi driver and tries to ask him about Hatim, but the driver speeds away. Ally and Tom run into Abdul Amir, but they decide to go home when they notice the mukhabarat nearby.
