Zehra leaves the office without challenging Ömer's statement. Ömer goes out and on the side insults Zehra and says she is an immoral gold digger. Zehra slaps him and gets in the elevator.

At home Ömer snaps at Nihat and accuses him of cheating on his wife. Nihat tries to explain that he was just interviewing the girl and did not know her, but it falls on deaf ears. Outside, Ayşe tells Ömer he will have to invite Zehra over. Ömer decides to go ahead with the lie for Ayşe's sake. He finds out Zehra's address through Nihat and goes to her place. In the meantime, Sevim, Zehra's mother is trying to set up a meeting with Yener and her husband Salim so Yener can ask for Zehra's hand.

Sevim leaves to shop. Ömer arrives at Zehra's door and tells her to come over to his place. Zehra wants her necklace. He says it is not yours. He thinks Nihat has bought it for her. He finally convinces her to go to his house to get her necklace. She says she'll go only for the necklace not the party.

Later someone brings a package for Zehra. It is a dress. Ömer's note says wear it to the dinner. She is insulted and stashes it in the closet deciding not to go. Meanwhile at Ömer's house Ayşe is preparing for Zehra's arrival and tells mother, Müzeyyen and Hediye, the housekeeper that they are in for a surprise guest. Alev arrives from Germany. She is Ömer's and Ayşe's step cousin and lives in the house. Müzeyyen is Ömer and Ayşe's step mom and Alev's real aunt.

At night Zehra sees preparations and finally realizes Yener is coming to ask for her hand. She runs out. Ömer's chauffer is at the door to pick her up. She says no one is taking me anywhere. She sees Yener and Mehtap coming with flowers in their hand. She is frazzled and jumps in the car and tells the driver to drive off. Yener and Sevim are shocked. What's going on?

Zehra arrives at Ömer's house in her house dress and flats. At home Alev is very curious about the surprise guest. Everyone is dressed to a tee and waiting in the guest room. Nazan, the junior housekeeper tells Ömer in his ear that someone is at the door. He goes and sees Zehra's state and tells her to get lost. Ayşe arrives and takes her in with great affection. She takes her to the guest room and tells everyone she is Ömer's girlfriend. Everyone looks shocked by Zehra and her appearance and the fact that Ömer may have a girlfriend. But most of all Alev.v.

Ömer and Zehra go to Ayşe. Zehra takes out a bottle of water and sprinkles some on her face. She wants to call an ambulance but Ömer wants to take her to hospital himself. He rushes her into his car. Zehra helps. Ömer is taken aback by her help. She runs in the back of the car and holds Ayşe's head. They drive off. Ökkeş informs the rest of the family, specifically Nihat who drives in soon after. When Alev hears from Müzeyyen, she quickly calls Ömer. They are wheeling Ayşe into the hospital. He takes out the phone asks Zehra to answer it and goes with Ayşe. Zehra says Ömer cannot answer right now and hangs up. Alev recognizes her voice and is angry. She goes to Nazan and tells her that she has to inform her of anything that happens in the house. Ayşe is fine in hospital and thanks Zehra for being there for her. Ömer goes out to call home. Zehra follows. Ömer snaps at Zehra and asks why she is still there. She is about to leave when Demir arrives and meets Zehra. He follows Zehra and tells her that Ayşe used to be sick with cancer and that is why Ömer is very concerned. Ömer arrives and asks Demir what he has told her. He assures him that he hasn't said anything about the current sickness.

In the hospital Ayşe reveals to Nihat and the doctor that she pretended to pass out because Ömer and Zehra were having a fight and she wants them to be together. She asks the doctor to tell Ömer that he should make sure his sister is not upset in any manner. He accepts saying in his head that the recommendation is true after all.

Zehra goes home and her mother pulls her hair and really harasses her about going out and not accepting Yener. Zehra's father asks her again about her necklace. She says it is being fixed at the jewelers. She decides to go and get it. She is about to step out when someone brings her flowers with a note from Ömer apologizing. She goes to Ömer's office and forces her way in. She drops the flowers on her desk and says I just want my necklace. Ömer looks at the note and realizes that Ayşe has sent them. He calls the security guard to take Zehra out. She leaves and is indignant.

Ömer goes home. He sees Ayşe with Asya sleeping beside her in her bedroom. She talks about death. Ömer walks into the garden and is very upset. He gets up and appears determined.

At night in Zehra's home preparations are being made for Yener's arrival. Zehra is sitting in her room refusing to join in. She keeps telling her mother she does not want Yener. The doorbell rings. Zehra's mother forces her to go open the door. It is Ömer. She is shocked. She says "What do you want here? Do you want to throw me out of my own house too?" In his head, he says "For Ayşe. For my sister!" so he swallows his pride and tells Zehra, "Will you marry me?"
