NETVERSE title: "Belajar Trik Sulap" (lit. "Learning Magic Tricks")

After their failure to set up a dinner last episode, Bambang, Alan, and Prima have to help Susan plan two parties: a baby shower and a birthday party. Meanwhile, their daily lives in the dorm are disturbed by the arrival of two handsome people: talkshow host Alexi, who moved in ostensibly to live near the studio (but really near Melani), and big-talking extra Juna, who had also just moved to Mami Bibir's agency.

This episode provides examples of:

  • Actor Allusion: The main trio references Susan's actress being a JKT48 member by yelling the girlband's catchphrase "Oi! Oi! Oi!"
  • Call-Back: Mami Bibir disproves Prima's accusation that she never supported his dream, pointing out that it was Prima himself who screwed up his chance that time he gets promoted to continuity extra.
  • Hypocritical Humor: Alan tells Bambang and Prima that they should be manly and calm about Alexi and Juna's arrival. Right after saying that, Pipin goes after Alexi and Juna which makes Alan panics, giving Bambang and Prima a chance to throw his words back to him.
  • Know-Nothing Know-It-All: Juna pretends to be knowledgeable about yoga, but all the stuff he said about yoga are clearly made up.
  • Like a Son to Me: Inverted. As Alan explains, Prima considers Mami Bibir to be her mother, which is why Prima is so annoyed by Juna's arrival as her new "golden son".
  • Malaproper: Pipin mistakes "baby shower" for "baby sawer", sawer being Javanese term for asking for money during a show. She mangles it one more time when recaping what she has to do for the shower.
  • Recognition Failure: Unlike everyone else, Topan doesn't recognize Alexi at all when he moved to the dorm.
  • Shout-Out: As if Ada Azab Dalam Cerita initials aren't enough of a reference, Mami Bibir name drops Ada Apa Dengan Cinta? actors Dian Sastro and Nicolas Saputra when talking about "AADC" with Prima.
  • Splitting Pants: Bambang's pants ends up getting ripped from trying to do one of Juna's yoga move, so Bambang decides to drop out of the practice.

"Maybe this is how bloodless wound feels. Tight chest, heartburned stomach, weak body. We can't even tell whether this is broken heart or diarrhea."
