He talks about blowing Ömer's head off and Zehra runs and says it's ok. I'll come just leave him. Ömer entangles again and they wrestle. Zehra also gets a pipe and beats him on the back. Ömer kicks the gun away. He gets Zehra to the car and before he can get the guy, he gets in his car and drives away. They fret over each other and then get in the car.

Fikrat goes to Salim and tells him he has poisoned his son's mind against him and tells him he wants Koray in 24 hours or else. At home Nazan asks to go shopping and skims much of the shopping money. Next time Ökkeş goes himself and Nazan is annoyed.

They arrive at home. Alev calls about the dinner. Ömer says he can't go. She is mad. Ömer calms Zehra. She apologizes for all that happened to him for her sake. He says there was nothing you could do. But now you are safe. They go in and he asks her to be inconspicuous. In the bedroom Ömer realizes Zehra's arm is severely bruised. He looks at it and his eyes are pained. She says it's fine. He wants to tell Nazan to bring some ice. She grabs his hand and asks him to stay! He is startled by the touch. She says they might suspect something. He says then if it gets worse they'll go to the doctor. She says she should not have gone to the hospital but that Yener used her weak point. Ömer says you should know not to trust him. I almost lost you… He trails off. Zehra looks very vulnerable. Ömer asks her to help him protect her by taking more care. She asks him to take care too as Yener might harm him as well. He goes to change.

At home Ayşe has found a scarf their real mother had knitted for Ömer and wants to give it to him. Müzeyyen is concerned that it might open some old wounds. Ayşe feels it will be good for him. Ayşe comes to Zehra and says his brother used to love this scarf and she has found it in Asya's things and wants to give it to Ömer. Zehra says if he liked it so much I am sure he will be happy. Ayşe then goes to the study and tells Ömer he wants him to have this as a reminder of the good things in his childhood and asks him to open a new chapter and not let the past cast a shadow on his future. Ömer sits arrested.

Leyla looks at her mementos from her first engagement. Şükran tells her to start a new chapter too. She also asks about the Yener story and Leyla tells her that Yener is crazy and Zehra clearly innocent.

Ömer is in the study. Alev comes in to work. He says I have a headache; another time. She says let me massage you head like I used to. She goes to him and begins. He peels her hands off and moves away. She goes to him again and with her hands on his head, Zehra comes in. Ömer takes away Alev's hands and gets away from her. Alev leaves triumphantly. Zehra wants to go but Ömer asks how come she did not sleep. She gives him the cup of honey and milk she has made for him saying Ayşe said he liked it. He thanks her. She goes to bed.

Salim is worried about Yasemin at home. Ömer goes to bed later. Zehra is asleep. He looks at her arm and then covers it and pulls the duvet over her with great care and goes to sleep. They wake up in the morning face to face. He asks to see her arm again. She asks whether Yener is arrested. She asks him to stay home that day. He says you are safe here. I have to go to the office. The police are after him. She sees Ömer off. Again, Alev comes to go to the office with him. She looks at them go and Cevriye comes and tells her she should have a baby to seal this marriage.

Salim tells Yasemin not to worry about losing the workshop and that God will show them a way. He then asks her to be careful as the streets are full of wild animals! Thinking of course of Fikrat's men. Yasemin calls Zehra and tells her about the prospect of losing the workshop. Zehra says she'll go to Mahaleh.

At work, Demir is sick and Leyla shows concern. Alev is annoyed that Mehtap is not there and calls her. Mehtap delivers an excuse. Betton takes the money and pays Yener's guy. Yasemin calls Koray and leaves a message saying how she needs him and that they are throwing Salim out of the workshop. Koray realizes it must have to do with his father. Reza is at Mehtap's trying to rent out his store when Şükran comes and tells him off for cutting a man's bread. Reza says he has no complaints against Salim but was forced.

At the office Ömer calls and Zehra does not answer. He wonders if Zehra has gone out again and not listened to him.

Koray goes to Salim to help him face his father's men. Salim is upset because the 24 hours are up, and they will be coming. Yasemin also arrives. He is annoyed and keeps telling them to leave. The guys come and take out a gun and they entangle. Zehra is also arriving. There is a gunshot with Salim, the goon and Koray entangled.

Salim tells Zehra to call them a cab and then go to work. Ömer steps back around the corner. She says I'll come with you. Salim says they will be fine and that she should get back to work. They go and she asks the nurse to call a cab. She is angry with Ömer and Ömer tells her not to make a big deal. They go to the car and on the way Zehra feels sick. Ömer stops the car and she sits on the curb. He notes that she probably has not eaten anything all day and asks her to take care of herself as well. She asks her if she wants to go somewhere to eat and she says she will make it home. So they get back in the car.

Nihat wants to take Ayşe out to dinner. Cevriye comes oohing and ahhing so Ayşe feels bad and asks Nihat to make it a night out for the two elderly members as well. Nihat accepts reluctantly so they go out with Cevriye and Müzeyyen to a lively place as Cevriye wants rather than a quiet romantic place.

At home Salim tells Şükran that Koray's condition is critical and they wonder about his father's conscience. Leyla meets Tyfun on the street and he says he is leaving Istanbul.

Ömer and Zehra arrive home. Lights are out and no one is there. Ömer calls Nihat and realizes they are out for dinner and Hediye and Nazan are also off. He wants to order food but Zehra says I'll prepare something. He goes to the study and Zehra goes to the kitchen. He enters the kitchen some time later. The meat is cooking and the kitchen isle is set for two. He mixes the food in the pot and says it is done. He tastes it and likes it. Then he gives a piece to her but she says she does not like it undercooked. He likes it less cooked so it would retain more flavour and not get dried. But he resigns to her wish. She serves salad and the meat. They eat and he says it is very nice.

Alev arrives and comments negatively on Zehra's cooking. She says of course having been brought up in an orphanage, no one can expect more. Ömer says she cooked it for me, you do not have to eat it. Alev asks" you mean you like it, Ömer? He gets up and goes to Zehra, kisses her hand and says I love everything that my wife makes for me with these hands. They get up to leave. Alev says who will clear the food and plates. Ömer says you can do it if you want. They go in the living room leaving Alev annoyed. Zehra tells Ömer you should not provoke her. What does it matter? Ömer says; she can't talk to you like that in front of me. He then sees Alev coming and begins pretending that he is going to kiss Zehra. They separate as she comes in and she is even more irritated. Ömer says shall we have coffee. Zehra says it is too late. Ömer asks Alev playfully: Do you want coffee? She turns around as she is leaving and says with irritation" I DO NOT! Ömer says: Ok then! She leaves. Ömer is pleased with the results!

In the bedroom Ömer hears Zehra talking with Salim on the phone and saying she wants to go to the hospital with Salim in the morning. He says you can't go because it is dangerous. She is upset and irritated. In the morning he gets up and sees that she is not there. He is angry calling her stubborn. He calls her; she does not respond. He goes to the office.

At the hospital Salim pays for Koray's hospital bill and Fikrat's men find out and inform his father. Salim has decided to take him to his place while he recovers. Zehra gives her phone to Koray so he can talk to Yasemin. She then goes to get clothes for Koray.

At the office he decides not to call her anymore. Mert calls Ömer at the office and he is happy to hear that he is back in Istanbul. Ömer calls the hospital to inquire about Koray. He realizes that Salim has paid for the bill and so they must be at the hospital. He wants to call her but stops himself. Tyfun comes to says goodbye to Ömer. Tyfun sees Mehtap there and tells Ömer that she is Yener's sister. Ömer freezes with anger.
