Ramy season 1 episode 7, titled "Ne Me Quitte Pas," opens up with Ramy’s family in a sudden state of shock as Uncle Naseem, Ramy’s paternal uncle, passes away in Cairo, Egypt. The family is devastated, especially Ramy’s father, Farouk. They quickly decide to fly out to attend Uncle Naseem’s funeral, despite the short notice. Throughout the episode, Ramy grapples with the grief of losing a loved one, the cultural differences between Egypt and America, and his relationship with his father, among other things.

Upon arriving in Cairo, Ramy and his family find themselves in an overwhelming state of emotions and cultural shock. It’s hot, chaotic, and the funeral processions are starkly different from what they’re used to in America. Ramy’s father is visibly upset and tries to maintain a brave face amidst the chaos around him. Meanwhile, the rest of his cousins and family in Cairo seem to be handling it better and are mostly focused on spending time with each other.

As the family makes its way through the city to attend the funeral, Ramy observes how the mourning process works in Egyptian culture. He is surprised by how openly people cry and wail during the funeral procession and how everyone speaks so highly of his uncle. Uncle Naseem was a respected man in the community, and Ramy realizes he may not have known him as well as he thought.

Throughout the episode, Ramy also grapples with his relationship with his father. Farouk is struggling with his own grief and is finding it hard to communicate with his son during this difficult time. The episode showcases the generational divide between the two men, with Farouk seemingly more conservative and traditional, whereas Ramy is more assimilated to American culture. They both have a hard time connecting with each other emotionally, especially when it comes to discussing the loss of Uncle Naseem.

As the family gets ready to head back to the US, Ramy decides to stay back and spend some time with his cousins, getting to know Cairo better. He is surprised by how different his relationship with them is compared to his life in America. They all share a common bond, despite coming from different countries and cultures. Ramy even manages to reconnect with a childhood friend, who takes him to a party and shows him a different side of Cairo.

Overall, the episode is a poignant exploration of grief, cultural differences, and family relationships. Ramy grapples with his identity as a Muslim and an American, as well as his role within his family. It is a relatable depiction of what it means to be a part of two different worlds and not quite fit into either one completely. The focus on the funeral and mourning process in Egyptian culture is particularly interesting, as it is not often explored in Western media. The show highlights the importance of family and community in difficult times and reinforces the idea that no matter where you’re from, family is still family.
