Heavy throttle
Later in the episode, Bilal came up with what he thought was an ingenious way to get his wife to calm down from the stress of family discussions. He has wanted to teach his wife how to drive a car in America, because Shaeeda already has a “really heavy accelerator”.
Bilal got his wife to take a driving lesson. However, Shaeeda stated after the driving lesson that the driving did not calm her down at all as they were currently awaiting the results of the fertility test.
In the episode, the couple also discusses family dreams with the doctor. During the conversation, it becomes clear that the couple is not on the same page when it comes to children.
– We have been trying to have a child, Shaeeda states.
– Tried what? We haven’t tried to have a child, Bilal answers snappily.

– There have been times when you no longer said you wanted to be with me. I’ve been divorced before, so I never want to experience that again, especially after having children, Bilal states.
Later in the episode, Shaeeda says she gets annoyed that Bilal doesn’t trust her love. The episode ends with Shaeeda’s dramatic reflection on whether she can continue her relationship with Bilal if her dreams of children never come true.
