Fou'ad lies to the CEO and asks Wanis to cover for him, but Wanis refuses to. Sharaffudin breaks a glass display in a store, prompting the owner to take his watch as compensation. Sharaffudin tries to hide what happened by claiming that a thief stole his watch, but the store owner exposes his lie.

Abla asks Wanis to lend her their dinner table as well, which angers Sharaffudin who is expecting his private tutor. Wanis exposes Khalil in front of Fou'ad, who turns out to be putting up a false facade as well.

Fou'ad buys a used car that turns out to be faulty. When he fails in returning it, he decides to sell it to Wanis, who finds out about its defectiveness. As Wanis tries to give it back to the car dealership, an antique enthusiast offers to buy it for a higher price.

Maysa's friend suspects her of giving their manager false information about her in order to seize her promotion. When Wanis finds a cigarette in Ezzeldin's school book, he monitors his son until he discovers that the cigarette belongs to Khalil's son, Wa'el.

In order to accompany his siblings on a trip, Sharaffudin entrusts the dog that his friend gave him to his parents. Khalil and his wife leave the children in Maysa's care. Wanis admonishes Khalil and Zeinat for foisting off their responsibility on others, and berates Sharaffudin for doing the same.

With Ezzeldin fighting with Sharaffudin, Wanis gets fed up with his children's laziness and the fact that he and Maysa are shouldering the burden. Wanis and Maysa decide to take some time off and leave the children to work out how to work together.

When Fou'ad is acquitted, he expresses his anger at Wanis's lack of support. Maysa brings some plants home. When the family finds the plants torn apart, Jihad pins it on Sharaffudin, but Wanis discovers that the neighbor's cat is the real culprit and gets Jihad to apologize.

When Jihad sees Ezzeldin beating a guy at the club, she seizes the chance to extort him. Ezzeldin comes clean to Wanis about both his and Jihad's actions.

When Ezzeldin's submission for a literary contest turns out to be plagiarized from Yusuf Idris, Abu Al-Fadl asks Ezzeldin to write an original story in three days and promises to get him pizza in return. Wanis decides to make the pizza himself, only for it to fail miserably.

Wanis takes Maysa to a fancy restaurant where the waiter keeps advising them to change their order. Jihad finds a chocolate box in the street and takes it home. After she divides it among the family, she grows repentant and decides to borrow some money to give the chocolate back to its owner.

Wanis takes Maysa to see a new apartment, but the building collapses due to construction violations. Wanis tries to get a higher price for the tomato crops that belong to his mother-in-law, but he waits too long for a higher price, and his greed leaves the tomatoes to spoil.

When Wanis discovers that Khalil's bathroom is dripping water into his own bathroom, he soon learns that it's a common problem in the building since all the bathrooms drip water. His attempts to find a solution fails due to the residents' lack of care and inability to work together.

The children inquire about their extended family after they see a large family at a restaurant. Wanis discovers that his relative, Zozo, has passed away, and that the woman he has been speaking to is not his relative. Nonetheless, he insists on helping her see her grandson Hossam.

Wanis is dissatisfied with the way the employees are sucking up to the CEO. As Wanis helps Mama Zozo sell her apartment, she asks him to send for her grandson, Hossam. Hossam's father plots to seize Zozo's money, but Wanis devises a plan to force him to show his true colors.

As the family goes on vacation in Hurghada, they run into a lot of obstacles, including when Maysa's mother stubbornly refuses to follow Wanis's car and takes another road, leaving her stranded away from the rest of the family until Mama Zozo notices and directs her to the main road.

Khalil admonishes Wanis and Maysa for taking Fou'ad along on their trip. As Wanis's family clashes with their companions as to where to go, Hoda goes missing. She returns on her own and informs them that she sought another family because they were too busy thinking about themselves.

When Hossam throws Fou'ad in the swimming pool as a joke, Fou'ad's wig comes off, which earns him a lot of ridicule. Fou'ad gets him back when he also dunks him in the swimming pool, which reveals that Hossam is also covering his baldness with a wig.
