Kuzey and Zeynep's kiss is witnessed by Simay, Cemre and Güney. Simay keeps quiet and waits her time. Kuzey hates being misunderstood by Zeynep. The fact that Zeynep becomes more and more important in Kuzey's life hurts Cemre inside. The war that started between Handan and Simay intensifies when Simay goes against Handan at every opportunity. The tension that started in the Tekinoğlu Family reaches a point of no return.

The New Year's Eve celebration, which started quietly at Ali's house, turns into a lively event with surprises throughout the night. After the night at the Sinaner group of companies, Zeynep meets Kuzey for the first time here. However, this time Simay, as Kuzey's wife, is also there and they have nowhere to run. Kuzey's efforts to express himself to Zeynep takes place in front of Cemre. Simay, on the other hand, finds a way to remind him of her existence at every opportunity. Handan's departure creates a crisis at home and when Güney blurts out Kuzey's kiss in front of Simay, she puts on the injured act and steps into a new plan. Kuzey dismisses her reaction and reminds her that he does not feel in any way tied to her and as soon as her situation with her family is resolved they will divorce.

Thinking he is about to get rid of his yoke, he calls and tells Zeynep that he will soon be free and ready to start anew with her. While Kuzey dreams of a brand new beginning with Zeynep, Simay decides to play her last card.

Left alone with her feelings, Cemre becomes more and more certain of her love for Kuzey. Güney, who realizes Cemre's feelings for Kuzey, is struck by jealousy and finds himself making a pass at her. Cemre  however teaches Güney a lesson that he never expected. Simay, who witnesses this moment, also gets a big trump card. On the other hand, Banu learns that Cemre also went to Mersin for Kuzey's wedding, and realizes that Simay had insisted on Cemre's presence. Cemre takes her place on Banu's agenda again. The cold winds between Cemre and Banu are now more intense.

On the other hand, important connections are established regarding the Makara business in Istanbul. The company that Güney and Banu founded continues to grow much faster than expected. Simay, who is getting stronger against Kuzey and his family with each passing day, finally confronts Zeynep.

On the other hand, Simay has to choose her side in the relationship between Güney and Banu. Annoyed by Simay's attitude, Banu lashes back with a plan that brings Kuzey and Zeynep together for the first time in a long time.
