What happened in Dubai Bling Season 3 Episode 5?
The episode began with Loujain and Jwana's heated confrontation, during which each blamed the other for hurting them. Farhana, who urged the ladies to address their issues, regretted her decision once the argument reached a boiling point.
Tensions escalated when Loujain admitted she went out with Jwana's ex-partner to "hurt" her. Jwana lost calm and stormed out of the dress fitting, refusing to walk the runway with Loujain. While explaining her intentions to Farhana, Loujain revealed she intentionally hurt Jwana to get back at her for going out with someone she fancied.
Although the Dubai Bling star wanted to resolve the issue, Jwana's refusal to have a discussion prevented her from reaching a middle ground.
In another segment of the episode, Marwan, popularly known as DJ Bliss, met Danya one last time before heading to his spiritual meditation retreat in Kenya. While speaking to the cameras, the Dubai Bling cast member explained he needed time away from the everyday chaos to refocus and get a better grip on things.
Marwan hoped Danya would reflect on their relationship while he was away so their marriage would not lose its spark.
" As time goes by in a marriage, sometimes you forget about the fun friendship part and I think this is where we have to take it back to, 'cause that's how we fell in love with each other," he said.
Marwan showed Danya all the letters she used to write to him during the initial stage of their relationship, reminding her how expressive she used to be about her feelings. Danya realized she had stopped writing letters after becoming a mother. While speaking to the cameras, she confessed that she often overlooked her personal life and got lost in her everyday responsibilities.
Marwan wrote a letter to Danya, hoping it would help them rekindle their connection. Danya was shocked to discover that Marwan often felt unsupported and even considered ending their relationship. She decided not to take the letter for granted and have a sit-down with Marwan after he returned.
Later in the Dubai Bling episode, Danya convinced Ebraheem not to sell the Besties Cafe, making him give her more time to handle everything. However, Ebraheem was caught off guard when Danya revealed DJ Bliss gave her the keys to his business, Karak Inc. He believed Danya lacked the skills to tackle a company.
Soon after, the cast arrived at Dubai Fashion Week, where Safa questioned Zeina for recommending a female fitness trainer to her husband, Fahad. She revealed that Fahad could only interact with female family members, not anybody else.
"There is no f**king unidentified females around my husband," Safa said.
Although she knew the setup was unintentional, it still hurt her to imagine Fahad hanging out with someone of the opposite gender. Meanwhile, Ebraheem saw Zeina at the show and told the cameras, that his dispute with her husband, Hanna, jeopardized the deal between him and Zeina. The Dubai Bling cast member was now unsure about returning Zeina's trademark to her.
Soon after, the fashion show started, showcasing Model Roz and Loujain walking the runway. Mona was overjoyed to have Roz in Dubai and invited her for a meal alongside Safa and Mahira.
While reflecting on her life, Roz revealed she had been in the States since her divorce and had not returned to Saudi Arabia in over ten years. However, she hoped to return home soon and explore its fashion culture. Later, Mona invited everyone to the photoshoot of her fragrance brand.
Elsewhere, Danya confided in Loujain about her issues with Marwan. Loujain advised the Dubai Bling star to refocus on her relationship instead of giving away all her energy to others. She also opened up about her feud with Jwana, refusing to back off and allowing Jwana to dictate her life.
Meanwhile, Mona brought Zeina and Roz to Skydive Dubai for a good time. Before stepping on the aircraft, Zeina revealed that she found out her trademark was registered under Ebraheem's name. She criticized him for causing unnecessary stress and putting pressure on her regarding the trademark's transfer.
While Zeina and Roz prepared to skydive, Mona cited an excuse and took her leave. Although Mona escaped the situation, Roz and Zeina enjoyed the experience, claiming that it helped them forget their worries.
Later in Dubai Bling Episode 5, Hassan told Mona that he made plans for their coming anniversary. However, when she asked for details, Hassan refused to give any, stating it was a surprise. During a confessional, Hassan revealed that he wanted them to spend quality time together away from their busy schedules.
Tensions rose at Mona's photoshoot when Ebraheem pulled Zeina aside for a private conversation. He told Zeina that he would return her trademark only if Hanna apologized for what happened at Jwana's event. However, Zeina refused to oblige, saying she would retrieve the trademark using other means.
