The Loneliest Demon[]

When a demon requests her son fight her to the death, she comforts Rabisu after she crashes into trash cans. She encourages Sik to help the demon, who she calls a djinn. She and her family serve a packed deli. After a failed attempt, she says Sik has done the impossible before when saying getting Rabisu home is impossible. After her son stops the Anunna from getting into their realm, she freaks out upon seeing his charred body, shaving what is left of his hair.

Fury of the Dragon Goddess[]

Due to being busy with work at the deli, Sik's parents are unable to accompany him and Daoud to England, although they keep in touch with him.

When Sik inadvertently alters destiny using the Tablet of Destinies in order to bring Mo back, it results in his parents never leaving the refugee camp and dying of tuberculosis when Sik is young. In this altered destiny, Sik and Mo are adopted and raised by Ishtar instead.

When Lugal uses the tablet to become mortal for a moment and see the better side of humanity through Sik's eyes, he visits the deli on the night that Mo leaves for Iraq. The Aziz family and Daoud welcomes him in and shares dinner with the god, helping him to finally find peace and fade.

Following the death of Tiamat and the tablet being wiped clean, everyone's original destiny is restored, including Mr. and Mrs. Aziz. After returning from London, Sik brings a resurrected Mo to reunite with their parents at the deli.
