YouTube and Zulu title: "Beratnya Berpisah Dengan Sahabat Sejati" (lit. "It's Hard to Part with a True Friend")
Bambang is getting insecure about his relationship with Melani. Prima gets a job offer from the famous martial artist, Yayan Ruhian.
This episode provides examples of:
- Big "NO!": Dian exclaims a big "NOOO!" after confirming that the unattractive woman approaching him is indeed his date Niken.
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: When remembering that time Prima was stalked by Yola, Alan tells the audience to not expect a flashback and go watch episode 18 and 19 instead. Pipin is confused about whom Alan is talking to.
- Catfishing: Dian's date Niken uses an older, more-beautiful photo for her Facebook profile picture, likely knowing Dian wouldn't date her if he knows her real face.
- Continuity Nod:
- In his farewell to Alan, Prima reminds him to pay his three million rupiah debt.
- Dian's situation in this episode reminds Bambang and Alan of the time Prima was stalked by Yola.
- Coordinated Clothes: Dian wears with matching shirts with his online date, Niken, and suggests Bambang should do the same with Melani. When Niken appears and doesn't look like how she looks on social media, Dian takes a look at Niken's shirt and to his horror confirms that she really is Niken.
- Five-Second Foreshadowing: Juna warns Dian that people doesn't always use their real picture on social media. Moments later, Niken arrives and proves Juna right.
- Group Hug: The final scene has Bambang, Alan and Prima share a hug that Mami Bibir, Alexi, Juna and Topan join in (Melani and Pipin stick to just hugging each other).
- Growling Gut: When Mami Bibir asks Melani to have a dinner together, Melani's stomach audibly growls immediately after she says she is not hungry.
- Hypocrite: As Bambang points out, Melani really dislikes that Bambang is jealous seeing Melani working with Alexi even though Melani herself is jealous when Bambang pretends he mistakes Melani for Pipin as a joke.
- Mood Whiplash: Prima's farewell in the ending is whiplash after whiplash, as it is mostly sad interspersed with jokes such as Pipin clumsily doing pencak silat moves and Bambang and Alan refusing to let Prima hug Melani and Pipin.
- Nosebleed: When Pipin sees Dian's flexed muscles while he is making gado-gado, Pipin quickly puts tissues on her nose just in case this trope happens.
- Pop-Cultural Osmosis Failure: Pipin doesn't know who Ade Rai is and assumes Dian is talking about someone's younger brother (that's "adek").
- Shout-Out:
- To Dilan 1990's "Rindu itu berat". Dian: Barbel itu berat. Kamu nggak akan kuat.
- Right before the group hug at the ending, Alexi lets out a "Big hug!" from Teletubbies.
- To Dilan 1990's "Rindu itu berat".
- Wham Episode: After the previous episode builds up that Prima is going to get his job in Bybyr Agency back, Prima gets and accepts a job offer from Yayan Ruhian instead. Consequently, Prima has to leave the dorm for an indefinite amount of time, the first time a main character leaves the show.
"The time will always come, when leaving the beloved dorm becomes the hardest step to take for those who moved to this metropolitan city. But it has to be done, for the sake of dream and new and better challenge."
