Zehra begins taking her revenge on Omer. She suddenly wakes him up again in the middle of the night pretending that she is worried that there might be something wrong with his heart. She takes his pulse giving some odd reading to get him worried. Then she puts two more hot water bottles on him. He is so hot he cannot sleep so he gets out of bed and sits on the armchair. In the morning she sees that he has fallen asleep there. She gets up and wants to touch his bed but he tries to prevent it to hide his silliness with the bottles. He leaves the room and Zehra now wonders what then could be the reason that he did not get on the plane if not for health reasons. He comes back and tells her not to touch his bed since he might sleep again.

Zehra brings a nice breakfast to the bedroom and as soon as he wants to eat she gives him a bland vegetable puree to soothe his stomach instead. He eats trying to hide his distaste. She laughs inside. Omer goes to the study. Ayse comes and tells Zehra that her friend has left the country so their deal is off but tells her that they have started an internet site to sell the bags.

Salim continues to look for a loan. Mehtab tries to get him to enter her store and discuss any problems he might have. He refuses and leaves. She sends a man to trap Koray. The man gives Koray his card and says he can loan them money. Koray discusses it with Yasemin and they finally decide to do it without telling Salim. Koray calls the guy not knowing he is connected with Mehtab. Mehtab is elated when she realizes Koray has called.

Mert sees Omer in the study and tells him Zehra has done well in making him well in such a short time and he should thank her by taking her out to a special place. Omer thinks that would also be the right place for him to tell her why he did not take the flight.

Zehra goes into the study and asks to talk to him. He says he has to work. She insists and asks him why did you not take the flight. Alev is passing and overhears from the corridor. Omer remains silent and Zehra is upset. She accepts that it does not conern her. Omer thinks to himself that once more she has misunderstood.

When Zehra goes out, Alev pretends to be on the phone with someone and says yes Omer did not take the flight because of me. He owes his life to me. We are just connected that way. Since I did not take it, he did not either. Zehra is disappointed and goes into her bedroom.

Omer comes and wants to tell her why he did not take the flight. Zehra cuts him off and tells him what is important is that you did not take it and you are alive. Anyway I know why you did not and leaves. Omer is confused. How does she know?

Leila finally sends an email to Demir asking how things are and when he would be returning as they are planning a party for his return. He responds saying thank everyone and tell them it is not yet clear when he will return. Leila feels upset.

Alev catches Zehra in the living room and tells her she does not look good. Zehra says she is fine. She wants to gloat over her. Ayse comes and tells Zehra that the internet site is being launched and Alev is annoyed that Zehra and Ayse are starting a business together.

Leila goes to visit Zehra. Sitting on the verandah, Zehra tells her that Omer was pretending to be sick and he was not. Then Leila asks why did he not take the plane. Zehra says because of Alev. Leila thinks it is odd. Zehra goes to get some coffee for them. Hediyeh and Cevria are walking with coffees. Cevria tells Zehra to take Omer's coffee for him. Zehra takes it from Heidyeh's hands and goes to the study. At the door she hears Omer telling Demir on the phone that he did not take the flight because of Zehra and that he owes his life to her. Zehra is stunned.

Ömer tries to explain but Zehra goes out. Outside Alev sees her and gives her Ömer's phone saying he had forgotten it at the office. Then she tells Zehra to get used to being number two on Ömer's list. Zehra is very upset. Ömer changes and looks for Zehra. Cevria sees him in the living room. Alev is there. Alev says thank you for not leaving me tonight. Cevria is curious. Ömer says you had passed out; anyone would have done the same; don't make a big deal of it and continues looking for Zehra. Alev says I gave your phone to Zehra. Cevria realizes the dinner has been canceled and the reason for it.

Salim and Yasemin are at home. The door bell rings and they wonder who has come so late. It is Zehra. She goes in saying she missed them. Salim realizes she is upset.

Ömer cannot find Zehra. He sees his phone on the dresser. Under it there is a note saying; you had forgotten it at the office; Alev gave it. He calls Zehra. She says I am home. He is delighted and says where he can't find her anywhere. She says in my own home. He melts. She says I will stay here tonight.

Ömer goes to her. Alev looks for Ömer. Cevria says it is spring and the air of love just sends lovers into their own nooks and crannies; so you can't find them. Alev is miffed and leaves. Ömer texts her that he is at the door. She goes out to throw the garbage and meets him. He asks her to return with him. He says he did not want this to happen but when Alev passed out and then he had left his phone in the office and could not call her. She is upset. She refuses to go although he looks at her with earnest ruefulness. She goes to her door and returns as if she is going to go with him. Salim calls her and she turns and goes in. Ömer leaves disappointed.

Salim goes in the bedroom and Zehra pretends to be asleep. He caresses her and begs her forgiveness for the suffering she has to go through because of her family's debts working at this place. Zehra cries. She gets up and wants to call Ömer but changes her mind. She remembers their moments of closeness and how he embraced her in the hospital. She goes to sleep with her phone in hand.

Ömer wants to send an apology but thinks she might be asleep and changes his mind. Ayşe comes in and tells him Zehra was very excited about this date as if it were her first. She must have really been upset. He says she is staying with Leyla tonight. Ömer sees the necklace he had bought her on the dresser. He remembers the moments he had her close to him and how she embraced him when she had thought him dead. He is fraustrated.

In the morning Zehra gets up to his photo on her phone. Yasemin and Salim are gone. She sits to have breakfast. Leyla comes to visit. She tells Leyla she is upset not because he did not go but because he did not call to let her know.Leyla says notice that your concerns are now changing. It is not that he does not leave you alone. It is more about him not being there and not calling you. Zehra does not want to acknowledge this. Ömer calls. She says she will be back soon. He is about to apologize but she hangs up.

Mehtap visits Salim and Koray and she is upset that they are working away happily and tells Betton that they have to make sure their work does not proceed well or they might start making payments on time and get rid of their loan.

Zehra returns and Ömer wants to talk to her but she keeps cutting him off and leaving. She goes to the kitchen. Cevria goes to her and makes coffee and warns her against prolonging any argument with her husband and that there could be "wolves and jackals" around ready to pounce on their happiness. She makes coffee and gives it to Zehra to take for Ömer. Zehra takes it to him saying Cevria made her take it. Ömer again tries to apologize and she says it is good that the dinner was cancelled. We have to constantly pretend while we are at home; why should we go through that torture outside as well. She leaves. Ömer says so you don't want to go out. He calls Nihat and tells him to take everyone out to dinner tonight. Nihat calls Ayşe and tells her to tell everyone. Ömer goes to Hediye and asks for a favour.

He goes into the bedroom. Zehra is sleeping with her outside clothes. He leaves. She gets up and sees that she has slept for long. She goes out and into the living room. Ömer is lighting candles on a nice dinner table set for two. She goes there and tells him she is not hungry. He says please sit and let us talk and pulls a chair for her. She refuses and says just talk. After all I am just a contract worker and there is no need to go to such ends just to talk to me. She then leaves without listening. Ömer is frustrated. Mert comes and asks what's going on and if they had a fight with Zehra. Ömer says nothing. All of this is nothing. They are not really husband and wife. Mert is stunned.
