YouTube title: "Kejutan Demi Maaf Dari Melani" (lit. "Surprise for Melani's Forgiveness")

Pipin gets scammed so Alan helps her find money to pay her two million rupiah debt. Melani realizes that Bambang is not completely wrong for being jealous.

This episode provides examples of:

  • Apology Gift: Bambang's is a surprise breakfast for Melani. Melani has actually forgiven him by the time Bambang gives the food, but the breakfast definitely makes thing more romantic.
  • Ask a Stupid Question...: When Alan accidentally makes Mami Bibir spills some hot tea to her own hand.
    Alan: Is it hot, Mi?
    Mami Bibir: No, it tickles. Of course, it's hot! Didn't you see this is hot tea?!
  • Bait-and-Switch Sentiment: Upon hearing that Alan is going to leave, Pipin looks saddened. Alan thinks this is a sign that Pipin does reciprocate his feelings, but Pipin is more upset about how no one will be helping her carrying stuff in her shop.
  • Blatant Lies: The scammer claims to be from Rumah Sakit Bersenang Dulu, Bersakit Kemudian, which literally means "Have Fun First, Get Sick Later Hosptial" and is named after a butchering of Indonesian equivalent of "no pain, no gain". Pipin is probably the only person they could have tricked.
  • Breaking the Fourth Wall: After Alexi has a crying scene, Alexi asks the editor of the episode to not add too many comedic crow sound effect. The editor already did.
  • Failed Attempt at Drama: Alexi dramatically declares he will not leave Mami Bibir's house until Melani accepts his love. After some dramatic silence, Melani nonchalantly says that she doesn't care and goes back to her room.
  • I've Heard of That — What Is It?: When Dinda suggests they make a mukbang video, Alexi immediately and enthusiastically agrees and demands they film it right now, before asking what is mukbang.
  • Like a Son to Me: Mami Bibir tells Melani that Mami can't help but trying to stop all the drama between the dorm residents since to her, they all are her children that must be taken care of.
  • Love Confession: Alexi makes his to Melani since he thinks Bambang and Melani has broken up. He fails.
  • Malaproper:
    • Early in the episode, Alexi assures Alan that he is "dermaga" (a harbor). He meant "dermawan" (generous).
    • Alexi tries to call Alan ungrateful using the Indonesian saying for that, "air susu dibalas air tuba", but missays "air tuba" with "amoeba".
  • Missed Him by That Much: Bambang is trying to buy some chicken congee for a surprise for Melani, but the seller accidentally let go of his cart, forcing Bambang and the seller to chase after it. Meanwhile, Mami Bibir and Melani are jogging and wondering where they could get congee for breakfast, right as the congee cart followed by Bambang and the seller pass behind them.
  • Repeating So the Audience Can Hear: Bambang's aunt tells Bambang about what happened to his father in Wonosari via a phone call. The audience finds out what happened because Bambang repeats it.
  • Shout-Out: Bambang rhetorically asks the congee seller how will he perform the Hajj if he (as Bambang assumed) is a liar, referencing Indonesian soap opera Tukang Bubur Naik Haji (Congee Selller Performs the Hajj).
  • Skewed Priorities: Even when she is under the impression that Ratih was injured, Pipin's first thought is to correct the scammers that Ratih is her sister, not brother.
  • Sure, Let's Go with That: The people who scammed Pipin don't actually know anything about Pipin's family and play along when Pipin asks whether it is Ratih who was injured.
  • Wham Episode: By the end of the episode, Alan is accepted as Noah's roadman so he won't be in the dorm for much longer while Pipin unexpectedly wins two billions rupiah she can use to fulfill her goal: repair her family house.
  • Wham Line: Things are going well for the characters in the ending, particularly for Pipin who has just won two billions rupiah. In the episode's final moment, Bambang receives a phone call from his aunt.
    Bambang: Father fell in the rice mill?!
