Away from the villa, two people who owe Fikri Bey nothing finally say what everyone else swallows. He is متسلط, they say, a man who controls the lives of everyone around him, and nobody dares stand in front of him. Sharifa obeys because she is طماعة and afraid he will give the fortune away. Muhannad is being crushed because he is the eldest grandson and the family's hope.
And Noor? برمشة عين صارت فوق, one says: in the blink of an eye she rose. But Israa hears a girl's dreams being traded like merchandise, and she is not only talking about Noor.
Then Fikri Bey calls Noor into his study, and their first real conversation begins. I explain متسلط, طماعة, يتبرع, and برمشة عين.
Next episode: what the grandfather asks of her.
