When Sana arrives home, Elias is playing a game with his friends. Sana asks them what's up and his friends suggest to let her try the game because she's good at basketball. Elias says that she learned from him, and Sana retorts saying that even their mother is better than him. Elias says that if she succeeds, he'll do whatever she asks for a full week. His friends tell him to not do it but Elias remains confident. She asks Elias to swear it and he does, saying that his friends are witnesses. His friends don't appear confident and Elias reassures them that it'll be okay.
Adam explains how their game works, where she has to throw the sock into the lamp exactly when Nate Dogg says "smoke weed every day" in the song "The Next Episode". Sana thinks it's easy, so Elias tells Sana that she has to do whatever he wants for a week if she loses. Sana tells him that's not part of the deal and he asks if she's afraid of failing. His friends tell him he's gonna regret this, but Elias insists he's never wrong and tells them to pay attention to Sana. Sana throws the sock way too early so Elias asks Sana to make tea for them. Sana says his friends aren't part of the deal but Elias replies saying they're his guests. Elias calls her a "slave woman" then quickly apologizes, tells her it came out wrong, and that it was wrong of him.

While Sana is playing basketball to release her anger, Elias tells her he heard her and their mother arguing. They play basketball together while talking and Elias casually asks about Yousef. Elias smiles because he can tell that she likes him, but Sana denies this and Elias smiles knowingly.
They sit on the swings and he tells her that Yousef is a nice guy. He tells Sana that even people who claim they believe in Allah do things like drink, steal and vandalize. He asks her what's more important: saying you believe in Allah or living like you believe in Allah. Elias says the most important thing to him is that his sister is doing well with a good guy, not just someone who goes to the mosque. He says their mother just wants the best for them but was born in a different country and time, so she doesn't know what it's like to be them. Elias tells Sana to stop having a sad face because he's also sad when she is. Sana asks if he and his friends want to go to a party tomorrow and he agrees.

Elias doesn't have a speaking role in Episode 10. Via Messenger, he helps Eskild with Sana's gift. He tells Eskild to go to Grønland and ask for a standard Eid package. He also trolls him by telling him to input the code backwards when paying because Arabic countries read from the right (which is true but this doesn't apply to numbers). He appears in the show's final clip chatting with various people.
Personality[]
Elias is a caring and protective person to his family and friends, and he also extends this to other people. In Hei Briskeby, he usually tells their viewers that they look good no matter what. After meeting Magnus for the first time in Eva's party, he makes Magnus feel better by telling him Vilde talks about him a lot (even though he doesn't know Vilde that well and he just met Magnus). Isak told Sana that Elias punched him after Isak punched Mikael out of jealousy.

When their mother asks him what's up with Sana and Yousef, he tells her to ask Sana herself and that she can take care of herself. Sana didn't want to talk to Elias much after Elias punched Isak. She apologizes to Elias after she finds out why Elias punched him. Sana tells Isak that he doesn't want her to wear the hijab because he doesn't want her to get hate, and that people spit after him when they walk down the street because they think he's oppressing her.
Elias and Sana's mother are protective of her children, which has caused minor arguments between Elias and his mother. When Elias was drunk and didn't come home, his mother asked him numerous questions which annoyed him. She is also fond of his friends and asks them if they want food before they go.
Elias and Sana's father is relaxed but also authoritative when necessary. When he saw a vodka bottle the night that Sana invited other girls, he asked Elias and Yousef who owned it and why it was here. In Episode 6, he is shown to be fond of Elias and his friends.
