"Mel, many people said that we're not a compatible couple and they thought I couldn't possibly walk together with you. Loving you is not that simple, Mel."
Bambang

Bambang becomes insecure from people not believing his relationship with Melani, causing a rift between them. Melani's mother is coming to the dorm again.


This episode provides examples of:

  • Aside Comment: Nando looks at the audience when he ponders whether he could get someone like Ayu Azhari if Bambang can get someone like Faradilla Yoshi.
  • Blatant Lies: Bambang's attemped excuse for why Slamet can't talk with Melani right now is because Melani is playing with sand.
  • Borrowed Catchphrase: Bambang becomes so angry at Juna that he borrows Alan's usual retort that he wants to crush someone. Alan protests, but Bambang argues anyone can use Alan's catchphrase whenever they want.
  • Breaking the Fourth Wall: After hearing Sandi comments that Bambang couldn't be Melani's girlfriend, Bambang asks the audience whether his relationship with Melani is that unbelieveable. The camera nods.
  • Celebrity Paradox: Once again, Ayu Azhari is brought up when Melani's mother appears, this time by Nando. In the same scene, Nando points out how Bambang get someone who looks like Faradilla Yoshi (Melani's actress).
  • Comically Missing the Point: Saodah tells Pipin that Pipin should approach Prima now that Prima has a well-paying job, bu Pipin somehow thinks Saodah is the one who wants to approach Prima.
  • Continuity Nod:
    • Saodah brings up Alexi/Melani gossip as why Bambang and Melani's relationship is probably just one too.
    • Saodah comments that Pipin not realizing that Alan had asked her out means the brain vitamins are not working at the moment.
    • Lisa still remembers that Mami Bibir's job is "kucek-kucek, cuci-cuci, jemur-jemur".
  • Coordinated Clothes: Bambang sees a couple who wear matching shirts and hats. Bambang considers giving Melani one, but he realizes that she would find it tacky and sticks to giving a matching phone case (which Melani also find tacky anyway)
  • Dramatically Missing the Point: When Bambang tells Melani about how insecure he feels from people not believing Melani is his girlfriend, Melani asks him why is he listening to other people. Melani wants to tell Bambang to just listen to her, but Bambang thinks Melani wants him to stop listening to people altogether and angrily tells her it's impossible. Melani storms away out of frustration and only tells Bambang her point after they make up in the ending.
  • Eye Am Watching You: Melani does this to Pipin after Pipin babbles to Melani's mother that Melani and Bambang were arguing last night. Pipin's body language shows that she doesn't get what Melani means.
  • Get Out!: Bambang tells Alexi and Juna, then Alan, then himself to get out when he is out of things to say against Alexi and Juna suggesting he and Melani should break up.
  • House Amnesia: Bambang is clearly losing his squabble with Alexi and Juna when Bambang tells them to get out from the dorm even though they live there.
  • Imagine Spot: Bambang begins to consider giving Melani matching hats and imagines what would happen if he does it. Melani would find it tacky and chew him out.
  • Malaproper: Alexi butchers the "before coconut leaves are bent, I can still overtake" saying as "before coconut leaves overtake, I can still be bent".
  • Self-Proclaimed Love Interest: Alexi introduces himself to Melani's mother as Melani's future life partner. Melani tells her mother to just ignore him.
  • Shout-Out: Alan threatens to put Alexi's head on his feet and Alexi's feet on his head, referencing Peterpan's "Diatas Normal".
  • Sounding It Out: Saodah reads Pipin's message to Prima out loud (even though Pop-Up Texting is also used for that very message).
