In this episode, we break down Shahs of Sunset Season 1, Episode 5 — “The Shahs of Great Neck.” The group’s drama spills over from group tension into deep emotional territory as GG vents to her sister about her clashes with Asa and MJ, but gets little sympathy for her explosive temper. Meanwhile, Reza embarks on a long-awaited journey back to Long Island to confront his father and seek closure on long-standing family issues. What he discovers about his family’s past is more shocking and emotional than he expected, revealing layers of hurt, identity, and reconciliation that go beyond the glamorous L.A. lifestyle. From sibling frustrations to heartfelt family confrontations, this episode blends Persian culture, friendship dynamics, and raw emotion in a standout moment of Season 1.
