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.

Omer ponders the call and decides that she needs help and goes there. He calls Tyfun to send police there as well. The goons are getting antsy with Zehra. Salim calls Yasemin and tells her they are leaving and Zehra had not come. Yasemin wants to go to the workshop Shukran does not let her. Omer arrives at the workshop and goes in, beating up the men and getting Zehra out as the police arrive. He holds her near his car and chides her for not listening to him and putting herself in danger constantly. Salim brings Koray home and then leaves for the workshop to check on Zehra. Omer is holding Zehra when her father arrives. Omer disappears and Zehra goes with Salim. She tells them that the men came and the police arrived in time to arrest them. Omer calls her from outside and Zehra goes out. Outside her house she runs into Mehtab. Zehra says I am going to work; Mehtab says at least you have a job. She tells Zehra to beware of bosses; they fired her without telling her why! Zehra walks around the corner to Omer. Omer asks her who is that. She says don't you know the person you fired. Omer reproaches her for not letting him know about her before. She says you are punishing her for her brother's sins. He says I will keep anything to do with that person away from my family to keep my family safe! He tells her not to have anything to do with her again. They get in the car and go.

At home. Ayse tells Zehra that there is interest in her bag sketches. She is surprised. Omer says they need to rest a bit. In the room he is mad and tells her to refuse the offer without upsetting Ayse. She wonders why he is so mad and thinks could it be because of not telling him about Mehtab.

Nazan receives an odd call which Hediyeh receives. Alev is trying to get information from Nihat about Mehtab's firing.

Shukran tells Leila about the workshop attack. She tells Leila that she will need to go to Salim early morning to avoid rumours in the neighbourhood that a young boy is alone with Yasemin in the house. Leila calls Zehra and Zehra tells her how Omer threw himself in front of a gun for her and saved her. Omer hears at the door. She then talks about Mehtab losing her job and how she feels bad for her. Omer walks in and says so you feel bad for her; don't worry she is crying in her borther's arms now. Zehra insists that Mehtab is not involved in the things Yener has been doing. Omer says do not be a simpleton! He asks if there are any other secrets she is keeping from him. Omer gets mad every time Zehra utters Yener's name!

Cevria looks at fashion magazines and tells Zehra she needs to dress up a bit more. Koray and Yasemin talk at night. He says he will do everything to gain back Salim's trust. For the sake of their love!

In the morning Omer wakes up and sees Zehra getting ready. He asks her where she is going. She says nowhere. He calls Demir and tells him he will be working from home today. He says I can't worry about you all the time. I have to stay to have you in front of my eyes. She says don't worry I can take care of myself. He says I don't want to deal again with things that I did yesterday. He goes to get ready. Zehra remembers him in the workshop with Fikrat's men. When he comes out she asks to talk to him. He says I thought so; what else are you hiding from me? She says I told you I just didn't want Mehtab to lose her job for nothing. I actually just wanted to thank you for yesterday. He grabs her arm and tells her that he is worried about her family, her and his friends and she keeps making mistakes for which they have to keep paying. Her arm hurts. She asks him to let go and tells him that she would be more careful. He goes and gets ready.

In the living room they have coffee with Ayse. Ayse asks Zehra's opinion about the job offer. Omer wants to say something. Zehra jumps in and says she feels it is a big decision and she is not experienced in these matters and needs to take her time. Omer says the final decision is with Zehra.

At the office Leila delivers the last file and says her work is done and there is no need for her to occupy the office there anymore. Demir wonders how she finished so fast and is upset that she is leaving. Alev goes to Nihat's office and wants to get Mehtab's file but he says Omer has it and puts the file in his briefcase.

Mehtab brings her stuff in the real estate shop and as she is settling in she finds a marriage licence Yener had gotten issued for himself and Zehra. She immediately sends it for Omer. Nazan receives the envelope and gives it to Omer in the study. He opens it and reads it and flames flash out of his eyes.
