In the second installment of "Echoes of The Past," the intricate web of deceit and suspicion continues to unravel, casting a shadow of doubt over the characters as they navigate the aftermath of Yehia's dramatic return. The episode begins with a flashback to Layla's birthday, where Sherif secretly records a conversation between Nadia and Ali. His actions are interrupted by Ali's arrival, leading him to capture an argument between Yehia and Layla instead. In a twist, Nadia and Ali then request Sherif to record them, hinting at the complex dynamics and hidden agendas among the group.
Back in the present, Yassin prepares for his annual gala at his lavish home, inviting the new client, Michael. Yehia, having hacked Yassin's phone through a text about Mahfouz, is able to eavesdrop on the event. With Fatla's help, he infiltrates the gala disguised as a worker. Outside, Sherif and Layla catch up, revealing that Sherif has since married and has a child. During Yassin's speech, Yehia takes control of the projector, displaying Nadia's photo and live-streaming the bombing of the factory. The guests panic and flee, leaving Layla in a state of shock. She later discovers Yehia installing a spy camera in the house but fails to recognize him.
At his base, Yehia observes Yassin's family arguing about his actions. Sherif's loyalty is still in question, as they suspect he is defending Yehia. Layla, who has lost her memories of Yehia and Nadia, seeks answers but is met with Mona's refusal. Instead, Mona invites Layla to move in with her, while Layla's mother, Sawsan, tries to stop her from digging further into the matter.
Yassin, determined to eliminate Yehia, hires a hitman with an impeccable record. The hitman quickly realizes that Yassin's phone and CCTV systems have been hacked and suspects Yehia has inside help. His suspicions are confirmed when Maldini, Yehia's mole, slips up about not being home during the bombing. Meanwhile, the police question Yassin about the factory incident, but he keeps Yehia's involvement a secret.
Fatla expresses concern about Yehia's actions and his newfound tech skills, which Yehia reveals he acquired in prison. Yassin tries to keep Ali at home, but Ali refuses to hide, insisting he is not a coward. He practices at the gun range, while Sawsan attempts to dissuade him from going to work. Ali tries to win his father's favor by smoothing things over with Michael, but he is also determined to break free from his parents' control.
Layla, desperate for answers, reaches out to Sherif about Yehia. Having researched their past, she believes Yehia would not have killed his sister and recalls their once-friendly relationship. Sherif deflects her questions, suggesting she is asking the wrong person. Undeterred, Layla sends Yehia a message via the spy camera, pretending to know about Nadia's killer. When they meet, she assures him she knows he is not the killer but wants the full story. However, Yehia is impatient and tells her to seek answers from her family.
Yehia accelerates his plan, hacking the phone of Ali's driver. He stops Ali's car under the pretext of a flat tire, knocks out the driver, and takes Ali hostage at gunpoint. They end up in a cemetery, where Ali insists on his innocence. A gunfight ensues as Ali tries to fight back, but he is shocked when Yehia reveals that Nadia was murdered. Ali admits he proposed to Nadia after learning about her pregnancy, and Sherif has the proof. A flashback shows Sherif's discomfort at Layla's party as he is asked to film Ali's proposal to Nadia.
In a surprising turn of events, Ali sneaks up on Yehia at the end of the episode but chooses not to kill him. Instead, he unloads his gun in a gesture of good faith and leaves, leaving the audience with lingering questions and a sense of unresolved tension. The episode masterfully weaves together the threads of doubt, betrayal, and the quest for truth, setting the stage for further revelations and confrontations in the ongoing saga of "Echoes of The Past."
