Season 4, Episode 7

Season 4, Episode 7, titled ***Vi må stå sammen*** (English: ***We must stand together***) is the fortieth episode of **Skam**.

## Summary

Yousef hangs out at Sana's house and they end up playing basketball, and later in the weekend the balloon squad talks about Ramadan and girls, which Sana overhears including the fact that Yousef is talking to Noora. Sana then decides to use the screenshots by making an insta-account, exposing Sara by posting the texts on there. People at school speculate until Sara figures out the texts came from Isak, and Isak admits it. He takes the blame and talks to Sana about why she did it, to which Sana expresses her frustrations in how she is treated, and they discuss the Islamophobia that is present on the streets. Isak seemingly forgives her, admitting he also made mistakes such as punching Mikael at the karaoke party which he got punched in return for. In the end, Isak asks Sana who her 'best bud' is after she jokes that they are buds, just not best buds.

Sana is in the backyard frustratedly playing basketball without much success. The ball bounces behind her, where Yousef picks it up and tells her to come and get it. Sana acts annoyed, saying she can't be bothered and Yousef says he'll take the ball and leave. He then moves towards her and Sana reaches for the ball. They start playing, with Sana trying to get the ball. They gradually start laughing again.

Elias then walks up asking to join, and Sana takes the ball again, stating she's playing alone. Elias asks her how long she's gonna be pissed off, and he states he didn't know Isak was her friend. He then talks to Yousef saying no matter what he does, she's pissed. Elias then warns Yousef that Sana is stressed. Yousef watches Sana as he enters the house again, and Sana balances the ball in her hands as the boys leave the backyard again.

Sana is going through the screenshots she took, reading how Sara talked about everyone, including Sana, Eva, Vilde and Ingrid. She then hears Elias and his friends talking about fasting outside, and she goes to her balcony to listen in as they discuss how Adam failed at fasting because he is supposedly sick. The boys ask where Yousef is, and Sana overhears them saying Yousef is with Noora. The boys call Noora 'wife material' and they imply that Elias is jealous upon his reaction to hearing Yousef is with her. Sana starts to cry as she returns to her bed. She then notices Noora's password written on her notebook.

Sana is sitting by the window, looking at a fake Instagram account, she created under Sara's name, containing photos of Sara and Isak's conversation. She tags both Sara and Ingrid in the photos. Noora appears, and wants to talk to Sana. Sana tells that she already knows everything about Yousef and Noora, without Noora even telling her anything. Noora asks if Sana likes Yousef, which she denies. Sana then goes outside to confront Sara about the account, feigning ignorance and tells her to get the account taken down.

* **Noen angriper oss** (English: **Someone's attacking us**)

*Wednesday, May 31, 2017 (10:49 AM)*

Vilde and the others are trying to call Sara but she isn't picking up. They don't take much notice of Sana and leave with the bell, when Isak comes up to her and asks if there's drama. He asks if she's prepared for the exam and she says she is. She then deletes the Sara Instagram account.

* **Gruppen for oss som har blitt utsatt for nettmobbing** (English: **The group for us who have been subjected to cyber-bullying**)

*Thursday, June 1, 2017 (3:45 PM)*
Sana gets home when she's added to a group chat by Ingrid for "all of us who were exposed on Instagram" who updates them on how Sara is and sends a message by Sara who says she loves everyone and even if she did send the messages they were "a long time ago." Ingrid adds that Sara had to miss an exam because of how sad she was and the other girls reply sympathetically. Sana sends "poor her" with a heart emoji. The other girls come to the conclusion that Vilde could've posted the images as she had access to Sara's Facebook account. Sana replies that the messages are on the wrong side to have been from Vilde's account and the pictures were taken by someone else but the girls ignore her. Sana goes into the kitchen and sees that her mum and Jamilla are there. They sit on the swings outside and chat awkwardly at first but amicably about school and Islam. Jamilla asks her if she's doing well, and Sana replies "yes."

* **Fakker over vennene sine** (English: **Fucking over their friends**)

*Friday, June 2, 2017 (3:34 PM)*
At school, Vilde is crying while being comforted by the group. Sana walks up and Eva explains someone made an Instagram account for Vilde and they posted a bunch of nasty things on it. Sana starts to tear up as Eva says the person who created the account must be horrible, and walks away. She texts the char Ingrid made and says that it wasn't Vilde who created the account, and Ingrid replies that she knows it wasn't and that Isak created it. Sana says that it wasn't him but Ingrid says it is because he confessed to it. Sana turns her phone off, and bumps into Isak who asks her what she thinks she's doing. They sit on a bench and talk. Isak wonders about her not liking friends who are mean to each other, and says that he isn't mad she wanted to get revenge on Sara but didn't like that she took photos of their conversation without him knowing. He asks her why she doesn't like Sara and says that maybe she threw her off the bus because she's a "condescending bossy bitch." He asks her why she is so cold to everyone and she says it's due to her treatment as a Muslim in Norway, to which he responds by pointing out he grew up gay. Sana replies that they are not the same because he doesn't get the same treatment and stares she does due to her hijab and that harmful stereotypes about Muslims have made it so even Elias wants her to take her hijab off in public to avoid the hate. He asks her if that's truly what she thinks and she nods, saying that if he tried to wear a hijab for a day he'd see that most of Norway is racist, but he tells her it's bullshit and that most Norwegians aren't racist but curious about religion. He tells her that as soon as she starts to look for hate she'll find it, and she'll soon start to hate herself. Isak says that they are "best buds" but Sana protests, saying they are only "buds." He asks her who her best bud is, and she says that she doesn't think she has one any more but Isak says that of course she does.
