YouTube title: "Cuma Bambang yang Bisa Bikin Melani Tersenyum" (lit. "Only Bambang Can Make Melani Smile")

After yelling at Bambang for buying an unnecessary bag, Melani gets some advice from Mami Bibir and apologizes to Bambang. Afterwards, Melani, Mami Bibir, and Alexi hold a walk-in interview for Alexi Project. Alan gets Topan to help him doing the Project's menial tasks, but receiving orders from Alexi is still a hard job, let alone doing them. But Pipin is always there to help Alan out, which makes Alan think maybe it's time for a love confession.

This episode provides examples of:

  • Answer Cut: Prima wonders where Bambang is since he borrowed Prima's motorcycle. Cut to Bambang sulking while driving.
  • Breaking the Fourth Wall:
    • Bambang asks the audience what did he do wrong this time after Melani yelled at him.
    • Alan gets Bambang to stop crying by threatening to show a close-up of Bambang's mouth to the audience.
    • After seeing another Bambang—Melani drama, Mami Bibir wonders out loud how many episodes they are in. Bambang answers "56".
    • Juna complains about how his good luck is gone ever since episode 45.
  • Comically Missing the Point: Pipin's customer tells her that he will buy her gado-gado later after telling his friends about Alexi's job interview. Pipin thinks he is going to tell his friends to buy gado-gado instead.
  • Continuity Nod:
  • Foreshadowing:
    • First is Topan feeling there's somehting wrong with the sign after it's done, foreshadowing that they misspelled "Project" as "Projek"
    • The second one foreshadows a reveal before that. Three interviewees arrive, but they don't look like video editor. Not long after that, they reveal that they thought the interview is for an ojek (motorcycle taxi) company.
  • I Was Having Such a Nice Dream: Alexi complains and claims that he had a dream of becoming a leading actor alongside "Matt Damon" when Pipin wakes him up.
  • Obfuscating Stupidity: Pipin innocently talks about how good Bambang's rejected gift to Melani. After Melani intimidates her to stop then leaves, Pipin reveals to Bambang that she was trying to get Melani to take the gift, which Bambang didn't notice since she didn't act anything different from usual.
  • On Second Thought: Pipin offers to take Bambang's bag that were meant for Melani, saying that she likes it. One stern order from Melani later, Pipin gives the bag back and says she no longer likes it.
  • Saying Too Much: When telling Mami Bibir about how Bambang bought her a brand new bag instead of fixing her old one, Melani lets it slip that Bambang bought and gave it last night, realizing too late that she shouldn't tell Mami Bibir about it.
  • Split-Screen Phone Call: During the whole phone call between Alan and Alexi, the screen is split vertically, then horizontally, then vertically again, showing both speakers the whole time.
  • Split-Screen Reaction: The screen is split in two to show both Mami Bibir and Melani's bewildered reaction to Alexi randomly singing "Step by Step".
  • Tied-Together-Shoelace Trip: Mami Bibir accuses someone of doing this to her after she tripped, but it really is just Mami Bibir not paying attention when tying her own shoelaces.
