Amaar decides to remain in Mercy after he is fired and Baber takes over as Imam with disastrous results.

Amaar sides with Rayyan in a battle with the fundamentalists but that choice comes with a high price.

When Thorne encourages Baber to share his extreme views on the radio, Amaar conspires with an unlikely ally to get him off the air.

Rayyan is thrilled when a college chum comes to visit until she learns the real reason Holly is there.

Amaar accidentally reads a letter addressed to Rev. Thorne and learns more than he ever wanted to about his Anglican colleague. A famous pop psychologist (right, Andrea Martin) gives her searing analysis of everyone she meets in Mercy to Baber (left, Manoj Sood) and Sarah (centre, Sheila McCarthy), turning the town upside down on episode 413 of LITTLE MOSQUE ON THE PRAIRIE airing Monday, Jan. 25 at 8:30 p.m. on CBC Television.
