At the end of Season 1, Barry/Bassam, the Americanized brother, tried to raise a coup against Jamal, the brother who is currently the titular "Tyrant." But Jamal doesn't want to execute his brother, whom he may need to put down the rebellion from Season 1.
Jamal believes he has killed him, but Barry manages to escape captivity and execution only to be stranded in the desert fending for himself, while his wife, Molly, deals with the news stateside. Jamal continues to struggle with international relations, including Abuddin's relationship with China.
Jamal's failures as a leader cause Tariq to bomb a village with sarin gas — the same village that Barry manages to take shelter with a family, while his own continues to believe he's dead.
Barry continues to hide his identity, but begins to adapt to his new surroundings. Amira (Jamal and Barry's mother) brings Rami into the family, a veteran who also happens to be Jamal's illegitmate son. As you can imagine, Leila (Jamal's wife) and Ahmed (Jamal's son) will not be pleased with this revelation, especially when Jamal immediately takes ...
The "Army of the Caliphate," a terrorist organization, happens to find Barry in his hiding place, giving him an inside look to exactly how dire Abuddin's politics have become. After that realization, he runs off, leaving the tribe he befriended to be forced into joining the Caliphate... until he changes his mind at the last minute. Jamal begins to ...
Ahmed really gets kicked around this episode. He finds out that he's his dad's second favorite son, his wife immediately takes a liking to Rami too, and then his dad kills Uncle Tariq and replaces him with Rami. Barry leads a rebellion against the Caliphate, which winds up killing the patriarch of his surrogate family.
Jamal is pretty desperate for a national "win" at this point, and Rami gets a taste of what Ahmed must feel every day: his father's disappointment. It's not for long, though, because with Amira's prodding, he does find success. Ahmed and Nusrat tragically lose their unborn child, and Sammy attempts to save the life of Abdul, a fellow gay man. Meanw...
The theme of this episode is "misunderstandings," as everyone gets their wires crossed. Bassam, Bassam, Bassam — you finally got found out, buddy, and your son is not happy. At least Jamal can stop guiltily praying every day now, and start celebrating Rami's continued military success — even though he seems to be regretting trusting a complete stra...
Jamal trades Rami for the somehow still-disguised Barry as his complete stranger/closest confidante. Sammy's mad at his dad, but pledges to join the resistance and fight against the Caliphate. With his new time off, Rami begins romancing Nusrat.
The fabulous Amira sadly dies... at least there's still Leila's amazing outfits. And the worst part is, it's yet another one of Jamal's screwups — he meant to kill Rami, for committing the crime of being a normal person. Rami very nearly gets framed for the murder, but Jamal's guilt is beginning to catch up with him.
