Binary sources are as common as binary lenses. Although strong magnification due to the second source is less frequent than due to the binary lens, the influence of its orbital motion on the light curve can be an important, and often overlooked effect. I will discuss this subject and present an interesting planetary and xallarap event, whose light curve can be described with multiple values of the orbital period despite having both complex and well measured shape.
