This week, Tommy is joined by Layla Garachi—GG’s sister and a recurring presence throughout every season of Shahs of Sunset—for a special rewatch episode covering both Return to the Homeland Parts 1 & 2. The group travels to Turkey for Asa’s deeply personal family reunion, but unresolved tensions simmer just beneath the surface. As they explore Istanbul, Mike has a powerful moment outside the Blue Mosque, and Reza grapples with his identity as a gay man in a conservative Muslim country. In Part 2, seasickness, soul-searching, and secret missions take over: GG and Reza struggle to stay upright during a Mediterranean yachting excursion, and Asa, driven by family ties, plans a clandestine trip to the Iranian border with her mom and Reza—despite being banned from returning. With Layla’s unique insight and personal connection to the cast, this rewatch hits different.
