Recap / Mimpi Metropolitan E 28

Go To

Since Bambang, Alan and Prima (well, mostly the first two) did a good job in the previous episode, Susan entrusts them to be the party planner for a three-month anniversary dinner.

Mami Bibir brings Pipin to the filming location to find new tenants for her dorm. They instead find a handsome extra named Arjuna Renjana, who happens to dislike his agency and would prefer to move to Mami Bibir's. Meanwhile, Melani also gives out flyers from Mami Bibir to her co-workers, something that caught Alexi's attention.


This episode provides examples of:

  • Actor Allusion: Just like in the previous episode, Alan quotes "I want you! I need you!" to Susan, referencing her actress being a JKT48 member.
  • Call-Back: The flyer for advertising the empty dorm room from episode 19 is brought up again. It's revealed that the one given to Pipin was used as a tray cover, which makes Mami Bibir orders her to come with Mami to AADC filming.
  • Continuity Nod: When Prima gets an unexpected phone call, Alan asks whether it's from another online shop.
  • Establishing Character Moment: Juna is introduced aweing women and taking the spotlight from Prima, establishing his casanova-ness and future rivalry with Prima.
  • Exact Words: It turns out that, just like when she received it, Pipin used the flyer as tray cover because it could be seen by many people (her customers) that way.
  • Fantasy Sequence: Bambang and Alan has a lenghty scene in the beginning where they imagine themselves proposing to Melani and Pipin, respectively.
  • Ironic Echo: Bambang is angry that Alan and Prima left him to work alone and claims that "[his] mother's husband said: Hah!". When Bambang demands that all the money they received from the work must go to him, Alan and Prima quote that back to him.
  • Malaproper:
    • Pipin missays "korlap" (short for koordinator lapangan, field coordinator in English) as "kain lap" (rag).
    • In the Hilarious Outtakes, her actress missay "menebus" (pay for) as "menembus" (pierce through).
  • Production Throwback: The clients, Rizki and Nadin, are named after the protagonists of another NET.—Limelight Productions show, Cinta dan Rahasia.
  • Shout-Out: When Nadin decides to break up with Rizki, Rizki tells her to "don't look back in anger!"
  • Toilet Seat Divorce: Nadin breaks up with Rizki just because of a single failed month-anniversary party where "Ariel KW 9" (Alan) doesn't sing any romantic song.
