Season 2 Episode Guide
Episode 1
Lockdown
The O'Neill business empire, Bonza Biscuits, has been beleaguered by "Anzaclava-gate", which leaves Jack (Darren Gilshenan) and wife Olivia (Helen Dallimore) unable to pay rent to their all-time rivals, the Habibs, who purchased their home, much to the annoyance of Olivia. In episode one, Toufic (Sam Alhaje) has returned from Lebanon, where he hiked the Chouf Mountains like his father, and has finally become a man. The O'Neills, after many late rent payments, are minutes away from departing on their New York trip to reignite Bonza Biscuits when a suspected Ebola outbreak ruins their plans and keeps both families quarantined in the Habibs' home for 21 days. Meanwhile, love is still in the air for Elias (Tyler De Nawi) and Maddie (Georgia Flood), with both too scared to tell their respective parents of their blossoming relationship, because they're always at war. Throughout the series, Toufic (Sam Alhaje) puts his brains before his looks, continuing to come up with more crazy ideas to grab the attention of everyday Aussies and turn into the celebrity he knows he deserves to be. The Fundertakers is one new idea he concocts with Jahesh (Rob Shehadie) - putting the fun back into funerals - along with Wog-a-Long, an ethnic rent-a-friend service. In this series, Here Come the Habibs will also see a kidney failure diagnosis, marriage proposals, a documentary on racism, and even the possibility of a truce.
