Go To

The famous talk show host Alexi is gossiped to be in a relationship with an unknown woman. Melani happens to be the woman in question.


This episode provides examples of:

  • Boyfriend Bluff: To make the gossip reporters believe Alexi is not her boyfriend, Melani holds Bambang's hand and says he is her boyfriend. Bambang naturally and happily plays along.
  • The Bus Came Back: Alexi, last seen in episode 12 when Melani stops working in his show, returns in an attempt to get close to Melani again.
  • Company Cross References: Early in the episode, Mami Bibir is watching fellow NET show, Ini Talkshow and comments how funny it is.
  • Distinction Without a Difference: Mami Bibir denies she bought her bag with debt. She bought it with credit. Even Pipin knows there is no difference between that.
  • Newspaper-Thin Disguise: When Bambang, Alan and Prima's face become ugly due to using face cream with mercury, Bambang opts to hide his face with a newspaper and claims he is reading the newspaper when Mami Bibir asks him about it. It doesn't really fool anyone since Bambang's newspaper is upside-down.
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: Beset host Nikita Misahin's name is a clear parody of Nikita Mirzani.
  • Read the Fine Print: It turns out the contract Alan signs without reading from the last episode says that Bambang, Alan and Prima can't demand refund if the face cream cause anything wrong to their face.
  • Shout-Out: Alexi helping a kid cross the street while wearing a helmet is a clear reference to Jokowi doing the same in Asian Games 2018 opening ceremony.

What is holding hands
If the hearts do not align
What is two hundred thousand
Compared to the trust of your friends
