Go To

After losing his job in The Proposal, Bambang decides to start a business as an egg roll seller. Alexi tries to find a new role but no director wants to work with him anymore.


This episode provides examples of:

  • Breaking the Fourth Wall: After Melani left him because (in her eyes) he couldn't control his jealousy again, Bambang asks for help from the audience, before realizing he shouldn't talk to singles.
  • Brutal Honesty: When Alexi voices suspicion that Pipin wants something from asking Alexi to come to Mami Bibir's house, Pipin just tells him that, yes, she does, so he should come right now. It doesn't work.
  • Funny Background Event: While Melani texts Bambang to talk about him no longer working in The Proposal, Alan, Juna and Mami Bibir can be seen squabbling about the furniture Juna tip over in the background.
  • Gilligan Cut: After Alexi is rejected by the first director, Alexi assures Prima that they will eventually find someone who wants him. Cut to Alexi screaming Big "WHY?!" towards the "50th" director who rejected him.
  • One Dialogue, Two Conversations: The morning Mami Bibir realize that Melani is the only one who can influence Alexi, Mami Bibir congratulates Melani on her "new life". Melani thinks Mami Bibir has found out about her secret relationship with Bambang and asks her to keep it a secret. It's only at the end of the scene that Melani realize that Mami Bibir is giving her a job as Alexi's advisor.
  • Rhetorical Question Blunder: Near the ending, Bambang is tired of Alexi's whining about how bored he is and rhetorically asks him can't he leave the country. Alexi replies that he already traveled to several other countries and proceeds to show off the pictures he took there.
  • Waving Signs Around: Juna claims to Bambang, Alan, Prima and Topan that he doesn't need to pay rent. They proceed to break out a megaphone and some protest signs and protest in front of Mami Bibir's house.
