YouTube and Zulu title: "Kejutan Spesial Untuk Mami" (lit. "Special Surprise for Mami")

The Proposal's client just happens to look like David, making Mami Bibir miss him even more. Alan sleeps on his job, which could lead to consequences if the RW leader find out. Bambang returns from Wonosari but he is as jealous as ever when it comes to Melani.

This episode provides examples of:

  • Bait-and-Switch Sentiment:
    • Just like in the previous episode, Pipin is sad that Wawan has left. Not because she misses him, but because he wasted Pipin's money.
    • When Alan asks Pipin does she like him, Pipin answers that, yes, she does... if Alan pay his debt.
  • Blunt "Yes": When Mami Bibir compares Prima surprising her while she had sweet thoughts about Richard/David to a nightmare disturbing a nice dream.
    Prima: Does Mami mean Prima is a nightmare?
    Mami Bibir: Yes.
  • Captain Obvious: A snarky case happens when Alan asks Pipin's customer whether looking at Alan reminded him of someone. The customer feels that Alan (who wears a watchman uniform) looks like a watchman.
  • Comically Missing the Point:
    • Pipin misses the rather obvious love-triangle between her, Alan and Wawan, so she thinks that Alan being happy about Wawan leaving means he likes how Wawan left her behind with debt.
    • Alan tells Pipin that she is the future mother of his children. Pipin thinks Alan already have children somehow.
  • Continuity Nod: Mami Bibir pinches Prima to make sure that she's not dreaming. When Prima protests, Mami Bibir tells him that Pipin did the same thing to her once.
  • Conveniently Timed Attack from Behind: Bambang gets punched and falls when trying to capture a suspected thief alone. One moment later, the thief gets knocked out thanks to a hit with a stick from behind by Melani.
  • Malaproper:
    • Mami Bibir thinks Prima saying "doppleganger" refers to Arnold Schwarzenegger.
    • Alexi advises Mami Bibir that she shouldn't be a "pendrakor" (drakor is Indonesian abbreviaton for Korean Drama). He meant "pelakor" (homebreaker).
  • Not What It Looks Like: Bambang sees Melani happily carry a flower from Alexi and immediately assumes that they're dating. Alexi naturally plays along with the assumption (although he is probably delusional enough to think it's actually true). Melani calls out Bambang for getting carried away by his feeling, and decides to not bother explain it (the flower is for Mami Bibir).
  • Replacement Goldfish: Pondered about, but averted (or at least downplayed to a single night). Mami Bibir talks about winning over Richard, an Identical Stranger of her late husband David who even acts like him, but Prima tells her not to as Richard is about to propose to someone else. But at Melani's request, Richard has one dinner with Mami Bibir as a substitute for a dinner with David that never got to happen, which is enough to give Mami Bibir closure.

"I stay away not because I don't need you. It's just that maybe if I left you, you could know how it feels to be alone."
