10. Two Graves

No release date yet

As Barry and Molly are on the brink of waging war on the Caliphate, Leila makes a bold political move, setting up a "government in exile," with the support of Al-Qadi. Cogswell, who is about to be shipped back to the U.S. to be court-martialed, advises her to seek asylum from the State Department and leave the country. After an act of unexpected violence and the arrest of her sister, she has reason to question how much longer she can hold out. She soon has unexpected new allies, but may also face a close betrayal. Meanwhile, Barry has Daliyah force-fed to thwart her hunger strike. Sammy speaks some unwanted truths to his family as they attempt to celebrate what would have been Emma's 19th birthday, and Molly makes an unexpected request of Barry. The conflict in Abuddin threatens to turn into a bloody civil war – with Sammy, Halima and Haitham in the middle of the student protest at which Leila plans to announce her new government, and Ahmed with the Army that's come to quash that protest. As violence breaks out, Barry and Daliyha face a final reckoning in their relationship. She feels defeated, but soon gains strength from an unexpected source. And on the eve of the war, Barry finds himself at odds with General Maloof... and his own future.

With Jamal’s life in danger and Abuddin on the verge of plunging into chaos, Barry is urged by both Exley and Molly to step forward as interim President before a coup takes place. Leila and Ahmed are placed under house arrest at the palace by the military, who want the Al-Fayeeds to be put on trial, and Barry and Rami have no choice but to agree in order to keep the loyalty of the army. Barry addresses the nation as the new President and sets the stage for democratic elections.

Barry visits Daliyah with a controversial plan to break the cycle of revenge in Abuddin, and gives her a leading role in his plan, one that will bring her close to him; she reluctantly accepts, even as she uneasily deals with her newfound reputation as a martyr of the revolution. And Barry's plans may have the seeds of their unraveling planted before he even begins.
