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.

Hilmi Yilmaz makes implicit threats. Ömer says I will not engage your dirty tricks. I am neither a prey nor a hunter. You will drown on your own dirty tricks. He calls Zehra. She has just arrived at home with Mert and says so. Ömer says but I had left you a note. She says I did not see it. He is disheartened. Zehra walks into the house chatting with Mert. Mert is telling her interesting anecdotes about his cooking and they go in the kitchen where Mert begins cooking dinner. Zehra is a bit pensive but gets into the cooking mode with Mert and helps him.

Koray is ashamed of Salim. He does not go for dinner at their place. He says he better stay with Shukran anyways since she has not been feeling well.

Mert finishes making the food and serves it to Zehra. Zehra eats and commends him on his cooking. Ömer arrives and Mert says don't worry I have made some for you too. Ömer whispers in Zehra's ear that this is the dinner they have been trying to have. He tells her that Mert knows. Zehra is upset and leaves. Mert is perplexed. He asks Ömer why he had left Zehra all alone. He tells Mert that he got a call from the security guard and went to meet him but nothing came of it. Mert is concerned.

Ömer goes to the bedroom. Zehra is mad at him for not telling her that he has told Mert about them. Ömer goes in and says I would have if you had waited for me and we had gone to dinner. She says is this what you wanted to talk about. He says no. She cuts him off and says it is not important anyways. He says it is important for me. She snaps back that tonight you showed for the second time how important it was for you. Ömer is stumped!

In the morning Alev receives an invitation to the Avanta Business meeting on the weekend. Ömer sees Zehra and Mert together. Mert is explaining things about the website. He goes to them and there is some tension. Mert talks on innocently. Ömer tries to interject regularly to draw attention. Hediye gives him his invitation. He tells Zehra to get ready for the weekend trip. They are going together. Zehra says do I have to come. He says we go as a pair. Mert says innocently that isn't Alev going. Zehra suddenly remembers the scene with Alev pressing herself against Ömer in the hotel room. Ömer says they know I am married so I can't go with Alev. Zehra agrees to go. Mert says then it is resolved and goes. Zehra then tells Ömer that she does nto want to go. Ömer says that is out of the question.

Salim apologizes to Koray about snapping at him and tells him such accidents sometimes happen. They se tout to work hard to catch up. Cevriye and Müzeyyen go to the benefit party. Yasemin gets her university money from the bank and takes it to Koray to pay their debts. Koray tells her to put it back.

Alev is summoned by Hilmi Yilmaz. She realizes that he is planning another attack on Ömer on this trip. She tries to prevent the trip. Ömer will not hear about it. She then goes to Mert and convinces him to go with them. Ömer goes to Zehra one more time. She is acting stubborn. He gives up and goes. She is annoyed and collects her sketching stuff and goes in from the veranda. In her bag she finds Ömer's note apologizing again.

Outside Ömer puts his case in the car. Alev and Mert comes out. Ömer is happy to see Mert accompany them. He puts Alev's case in and closes the trunk but Mert says Zehra is here and Ömer is elated to see her coming out with her suitcase. He goes and gets her case and they all get in the car.

Cevriye comes in upset from the benefit. She feels that she did not fit in well and has probably embarrassed Müzeyyen as well. Ayşe is concerned and wants to make her happy. Nihat receives a call from the police telling him that the security guard was found dead in the sea. He calls Ömer and tells him. He receives the call as they are driving and tells Mert. Alev texts Hilmi Yilmaz that she, Ömer and Mert are driving to Avanta. A truck is driving at them and Zehra tells Ömer to be careful. The truck is speeding toward them fast.
