Little Mosque on the Prairie - 6 ª Season

Amaar and Rayyan cut short their planned one year pilgrimage/honeymoon and return to Mercy early since Rayyan believes Sarah needs her support on Yasir's news that he will be staying in Lebanon to be with his ailing mother, ending Yasir and Sarah's thirty-one year marriage. Rayyan does whatever she can to help her mother over her supposed grief, including encouraging Sarah to attend Ann's divorce support group, and asking Sarah to move in with her and Amaar. Through this support process, Rayyan comes to an understanding on why she needs to help her mother so much, while Sarah tries to convince Rayyan that she's fine. Meanwhile, Baber, who has come to a love/hate relationship with Thorne in his renewed role as Imam, believes that Amaar has come back to assume the position of Imam, despite Amaar's assertion that he has no desire for his old job.

Rayyan resuming her medical practice in Mercy comes with some unwanted baggage, namely an overbearingly sweet nurse receptionist named Poppy, who doesn't seem to have a sense of personal boundaries. As unwanted as Poppy is to Rayyan as her nurse receptionist is Amaar's intervention in the matter. Meanwhile, Ann has decided to help Sarah by renewing her driver's license with Sarah's new old name, Sarah Cunningham (her maiden name) which Ann has had legally changed. This name reversion brings up the question from the name's bearer, "who is Sarah Cunningham". In looking back on the life of the old Sarah Cunningham, Sarah finds a woman who lived vicariously through her best friend Ann. As such, Sarah vows that this time around she's going to be a take charge, outgoing person who lives through herself, which is totally against her nature. A side effect of Sarah's name change is that, without consulting her herself, Baber and Thorne battle for her religious soul, or at least her body in their respective congregation.

After he blows an electrical fuse in their house, a less than handy Amaar wants to prove to Rayyan that he himself can fix the problem without calling in professional help. The problem proves to be too much for Amaar to handle, even with what he can glean from the Internet. What Amaar decides to do to fix the problem leads to further problems, both in what he will tell Rayyan and Rayyan's reaction to what he eventually tells her, which leads to a too up close and personal encounter with next-door-neighbor Fred. Meanwhile, Thorne and Baber, who feels he needs to lose weight, decide to go on a three day fasting challenge, the winner who will be able to give a sermon to the other's congregation. As they progress through the challenge, they have to decide if satisfying their increasing hunger or showing religious superiority over the other is more of a priority.

Ann believes that since it's been two years since Yasir moved away and six months since the divorce, Sarah should start dating again. As such, Ann fixes Sarah up on a blind date with a man named Steve. Sarah's date with Steve shows her that perhaps she may be ready to date, but not date specifically Steve. The problem becomes how to tell a needy Steve that she doesn't want to see him again. Meanwhile, Amaar has nominated Mercy for the Multi-Faith Spirit Award. He is excited that Mercy is on the three town short list for the award. When he tells Baber and Thorne about the award, the two balk at the entire concept that all religions are equal until they learn that the award comes with a $10,000 cash prize. Can Baber and Thorne put aside their differences long enough to show the visiting award's committee judge that they truly do live in complete harmony? And Nate notices that Fatima's daily special is always goat curry. He wants that to change, and offers to help Fatima re-envision her goat curry into a new dish. Will Fatima even let him in her kitchen?

Amaar and Rayyan are arguing about how and when to host their first dinner party, which Amaar sees as a piece of cake to arrange, while Rayyan sees it as an important milestone on how others will judge their marriage and as such which requires much thought and consideration. Regardless, they decide to hold it this evening. One unplanned invitee is Charles Thorne, Reverend Thorne's older brother who is in town on business to audit the city's books, much to Sarah's horror and Ann's disgust - disgust both for the audit itself and in that she is attracted to him as a man. The brothers Thorne are somewhat estranged - the reverend who uses the word hate to describe how he feels about his brother - but Charles seems to want to extend an olive branch. Amaar inviting Charles is a way to get the two brothers together and talking. Three issues have the potential to turn the dinner party into a total disaster. First, Amaar is trying an untested menu with non-cook Rayyan as his assistant. Second, three of the four invitees - Reverend Thorne, Sarah and Ann - hate the fourth. And third, the possibility of the character flaw that the reverend sees in his brother - his obsessive nature which led to Charles abandoning his little brother when they were younger - rearing its ugly head despite Charles' assertion that he is a changed man.
