* **Ikke gjort noe galt** (English: **Didn't do anything wrong**)

*Saturday May 6, 2017 (9.58AM)*
Sana is praying in her room, while we see flashes of the afternoon she spent with Yousef. Sana then opens her computer and googles 'why can't muslim women marry non-muslims'. She reads an article that says children follow the father's religion. We then hear voices outside her room, and Sana notices Yousef's name being mentioned when Elias says he was with him. Her mom says she saw Yousef and Sana last night, indicating she knows he's not truthful. Elias says his phone died, and that he didn't do anything wrong but their mom insists on asking where he was last night. She says he has to follow their rules as long as he lives at home, and that he has to set an example for his sister. Elias defends Sana saying she is almost 18 and that she can take care of herself. Her mom says she doesn't like her and Yousef spending time together. Elias says she shouldn't ask him about that. Elias says she has to trust Sana if she says she only saw Yousef by chance last night.

* **No hard feelings**

*Monday May 8, 2017 (1.23PM)*
Sana and Noora are walking down the school yard while Noora tells Sana about the morning Elias woke up at the Kollektiv. She Eskild was hitting on him until Elias threw up on him. They then notice Vilde laughing loudly with Eva, Chris and some of the Pepsi Max girls. They talk about the party on Friday. Eva mentions they should have been there, and that there were lots of handsome guys. Chris comments Eva played the field, and they talk about one guy in specific called Alexander.

Eva then says they texted them, and Sana gets a prayer notification before Noora comments that they didn't do anything special. The girls then insist that they join them at Syng on Friday, and Sana asks what they're talking about. Eva explains it's a karaoke party that was posted about on the bus page, and that lots of people are coming. They talk about inviting the guys from the past weekend. Sana asks about the Facebook group, and Sara explains it's their old bus page, and she asks if she added Sana. Sana says she didn't, and Sara adds her.

* **Dårlig følelse** (English: **Bad feeling**)

*Tuesday May 9, 2017 (10.01AM)*
Sana scrolls through the facebook page and the comments on the Syng event, when she asks Noora if she felt Sara was trying to hide something. Noora asks what she means, and Sana says she had a bad feeling. She then says the Pepsi Max girls can take the whole bus and throw them out because they paid for it.

Noora asks why they would bother joining with them if they were going to throw them out, and Sana explains that they wanted that specific bus. Noora replies saying she doesn't think they're that psycho. Sana then adds that Sara was going to send her a copy of the contract, which she didn't do. Noora is trying not to judge and remains rather vague. She then asks when the russ stuff became so important. Sana doesn't answer, and instead heads over to Sara to talk about the contract.

She asks to talk to her on the side of the schoolyard, and confronts her about sending the copy of the contract. Sana says maybe she forgot, like she forgot to add her and Noora to the buss page. Sara says it might have ended up in spam filter, like with Mari, and Sana checks her mail again, finding it in her spam. Sara then says they have a meeting with Mari on Monday, and when she notices Sana is tense, she explains she doesn't mean to overlook her because she used to be the bus boss. Sana says it's fine, and says she will come to the Syng event. Sara comments they need to get to know each other better and fuse the busses together more.

* **Humble**

*Thursday May 11, 2017 (3.43PM)*
Sana walks into her room to find her mom going through her things. Her mom pretends to look for her green veil, and Sana confronts her in Arabic. Her mom then says she is worried because she doesn't know what she's up to anymore. Sana says she's up to nothing, but her mom explains that Sana said she went out with friends and ended up outside with Yousef.

Sana doesn't like this, and she says her mom talks about her friends like they're criminals or something. She defends her friends saying not all non-Muslims drink a lot and have sex. She asks why her mom can't trust her that she has friends who are good people.

Her mom says that lots of young people don't follow the same rules as her and that Norwegian culture has lots of customs that don't fit with them. Sana replies saying Islam has things that don't fit her either, like the views on homosexuality or the fact that Muslim men can marry non-religious women but not the other way around. She wonders if that is considered gender discrimination in the society they live in, pointing out the Quran says they can adapt to the society they live in. Her mom asks where this is coming from, and Sana says she's asking, and if she isn't allowed to ask.

Her mom says she is worried about Sana, and she says that she is scared Sana will get hurt. Sana then storms out, and goes to the backyard where she plays basketball. Elias walks out, saying he heard her talking to their mom.

They play together for a bit, when Elias asks her if she was with Yousef over the weekend. Sana explains he walked her home from Noora's. Elias says she likes him, which Sana denies.

They then sit on the swings, and Elias explains Yousef is a nice guy. Sana says he is not a Muslim though, and Elias says he is the most Muslim guy he knows because he doesn't drink and has respect for everyone. Sana says he doesn't believe in Allah. Elias then asks her what's most important, saying you believe in Allah or living like you believe in Allah. He then says that the most important thing is that his sister is doing well with a good guy, not someone who goes to a mosque.

Sana says their mom might not agree, but Elias says she wants the best for them and that she was raised in a different time. He then tells her to stop making a sad face, because if she's sad he's also sad. Sana says she isn't sad, and Elias replies with "that's good". Sana then invites him to the Syng event with her friends. Sana tells him to bring Yousef, and Elias says they will come.

* **Imagine all the people living life in peace**

*Friday May 12, 2017 (8.39PM)*
SYNG is underway, and the event is crowded with tons of people drinking, talking, and singing karaoke. Eskild is telling Sana and Eva about when Elias woke up at the Kollektiv. Esklid mimes him throwing up and says that he left pretty quickly after that, and tentatively suggests he may be open to more fun.

Some time passes, and Eva is talking to Chris about paying her back for a beer while Sana texts nearby. She texts Elias asking if he will be coming.

In front of the karaoke setup, Even is preparing to sing. He winks at Isak, who is watching with the rest of the Boy Squad. Sana, Eva, and Chris turn to watch as well. Even confidently starts singing Imagine by John Lennon. Partway through the song, Sana sees the Balloon Squad arrive. Even notices them and freezes, falling silent as the music continues to play. Isak quickly joins him in front of the crowd and sings the next line into the microphone with his arm around Even. They sing the following line together before Jonas, Magnus, and Madhi chime in. Soon, the whole crowd joins in and they all sing along. While the song continues, people at the party can be seen swaying along or greeting friends and family. Magnus and Vilde share a kiss, Eskild and Eva cuddle close next to Sana and Chris, Noora hugs Mari, and unknown people hug and make out. The song ends with applause while Isak and Even kiss each other on the cheek.

Across the room, Sana gives Chris a hug. They reminisce about when Chris first introduced her to the Girl Squad but Sana is soon distracted as she spots Yousef walking over to Elias and Adam. Chris goes to talk to Eskild and Sana gets a text from her mom, who apologizes for looking through her things and that Sana doesn't need her advice. Sana sends a heart back before being approached by Noora.

Noora tells Sana that William got a new girlfriend. When Sana doesn't respond, Noora asks if she knew already and takes her continued silence for confirmation. Sana says she was going to tell her but Noora interrupts and demands to know if Sana knew last week when they were talking about him. Sana starts to apologize when Yousef rushes up and tells her Elias is in a fight.

Outside, Madhi and Jonas are squaring off with Elias and the Balloon Squad. Elias and Madhi are grabbing and shoving at each other, and Sana manages to pull them apart. Magnus holds Madhi back and Jonas is shoved back towards them while Sana stands in front of Elias and keeps him back. Elias spits before walking away with Mikael, Adam, and Mutta.

Sana turns and walks to the Boy Squad where Even is examining Isak's bloody nose. Even says they have to go to the emergency room and the rest of the boys say they will come with. They leave Sana who looks down and sees her hands are bloody from breaking up the fight. She watches them walk away before going back inside.

Sana goes into the bathroom and washes the blood off her hands while looking in the mirror. Two Pepsi Max girls start talking on the other side of the door and Sana overhears their conversation. They speculate the fight must have been because one side is gay and the other Muslim, and there's bound to be a fight there. They say that Elias seems crazy and that he snapped and screamed at them when Sana hosted the bus meeting, and that Vilde said he called Sana "slave." They agree that explains why Sana is "psycho." One of them starts to say she doesn't want to be there when something happens, but cuts herself off and asks the other to check the stalls are empty first.

Sana hides behind the door when they open it and remains hidden. They keep talking and say they don't want to be there when Sana finds out she won't be on the bus. They mention how they signed the contract earlier that day and Sara was freaking out because Sana was suspicious. One of the girls says she feels sorry for Sana and the other calls her stupid for not realizing she has no right to the bus since the Pepsi Max girls are paying for it. They say Vilde was actually the bus boss and not her and that they don't understand why she wanted to be on the bus since it was against her religion, especially since she's devout enough to wear a hijab. They agree the others in the Girl Squad are cool besides her, especially Noora. Sana stays standing in the bathroom after they leave.

When Sana goes back out into the crowd, she sees Noora and Yousef kissing.
