The old lady tells Alev she remembers Zehra and that she had a friend and she says Zehra was adopted. Ömer realizes there is an incomplete file regarding a certain Zehra Kaya at the orphanage. He is relieved and leaves. Alev wants more info but the old lady smells money. Alev gives some money and says she is prepared to give more. She says she will have to search so Alev gives her her card to call her when she finds something.

Salim tells Sevim that Zehra is their child. They have raised her and that is that and he wants to hear nothing else. Yasemin chats with Zehra but generally nags about her being away and their financial and house problems but nothing in particular. Zehra calms her.

Ömer tells Demir that Alev is being a busybody and he must figure out a way to send Alev away. He says for now she has found another Zehra Kaya at the orphanage and is on her trail but she should be sent away so she does not learn otherwise. Demir is going to send her to Cyprus for business. Ömer then goes home to handle Alev and Zehra situation. He arrives but Zehra is not home. He is about to go to Mahaleh when Ayşe comes and tells him how happy she is for him and takes for a walk in the garden.

Koray finally sees Yasemin coming home. He is talking with her when Sevim arrives. Sevim catches Koray calling him thief. Yasemin tells her that she is wrong, he is not a thief. She says he is Funda's friend. Yener also arrives and vouches for him. Sevim lets go. Koray drives away. Betton follows him and finds his address.

Alev arrives home. Zehra is late. They go to dinner. Ömer tells them to eat and steps out. He sees Zehra hiding behind the bushes. He finds it comical but washes the smile of his face and acts angry because she is late. He tells her to tell them she was caught in traffic. They go in. Zehra and Ömer join the table and Zehra shakes off Alev's nosy questions. Ömer offers Zehra food.

In the bedroom Ömer gets angry at her for being late. Zehra says I had to because… Ömer is angry and points his finger at her forcefully saying your only obligations is to do what's in the contract. Zehra is silent. Ömer feels he has lost control and gone too far. He calms down. He says more gently that Alev is being too inquisitive and she needs to be extra careful until he figures something out. Ömer is thoughtful.

Sevim is worried about Yasemin and she does not eat much. Yasemin calls Koray. He is riding his bike and has an accident.

Ömer talks with Demir and Zehra thinks they are going to Cyprus for a few days. Ömer says no Alev is going. At the table Alev is too happy. She says I will soon have a surprise for you. Ömer tells her Demir wants to talk to her apparently there is some problem with the Cyprus file. She goes. Ömer calls Demir to tell him to take her to the airport himself and make sure she gets on. Ayşe comes to Zehra to go down for coffee and tells her to bring her bag in case they go out. Ömer calls Demir. Demir says Alev got on the plane but then he sees her leave the airport and catch a taxi. Ömer looks at Zehra all concerned.

Sevim opens the door. It is from the electricity company regarding unpaid bills. Ömer tells Zehra to call home. She calls and realizes that someone was at their door. She is worried but then realizes it was from the electricity company and they both give a sigh of relief. Demir waits on Alev. She goes into a house. The lady in the house talks about a Zehra Kaya they adopted but could not handle. She says she kept running away and when they sent her back, she stole many things so her husband burned all their pictures with her. Ömer wonders what Alev is doing there and keeps asking Zehra if there is someone else in her family she could be meeting. Zehra says no.

Alev goes back to the orphanage and the director suggests and she try to find some of her friends at the orphanage and she might be able to get some info that way. Alev returns home. Ömer snaps at her for not going to Cyprus but she says she has resolved all problems and gets away.

Funda tries to cozy up to Koray but Yasemin tells her that they should both leave and let him rest. She tries to find out how she got Koray's address but Funda would not let on. Yasemin goes home. Salim has just returned and Sevim is degrading him for not bringing home the bacon. Salim is very tired. He has not fully recovered but determined to find a job. Fikrat lets Yener go and get Koray for him.

Ömer tells Zehra that her mistakes have cost them a lot. Alev will not let go of this matter and she has to be extra careful about whatever she does and says.

Zehra makes a doll for Asya. Ömer is intrigued. She gives it to her in the morning. Alev wants to fish again for information about Zehra's friend but Ömer cuts her short at the table. Alev tries to ask Zehra about her time in the orphanage. Zehra does not say much and then goes up to her room to end it. She then tries to make an appointment with Leyla and texts her and goes to the bathroom. Alev comes in and sees Leyla's answer and deletes it after reading it. She then puts a sleeping agent in Zehra's coffee and goes to see Leyla in her stead.

Salim meets Rostam, an old friend. He has a carpentry workshop and tells Salim to go and work with him. He is very happy. Yener goes to Sevim and threatens to tell Salim about the IOUs if she does not get him Zehra. On the way out he picks up the utility bills and says he will pay it. Sevim says he is crazy; on the one hand he threatens on the other he helps. When he brings the paid stubs, Salim realizes and tells him he will pay back all his debt to him. Yener is annoyed. Salim then begins to prepare his tools as he is going to work with Rostam in his workshop.

Ömer goes to the orphanage again and the director tells him that he has told Alev to inquire through Zehra's friends in order to find her. Ömer gets worried and goes home. Zehra has passed out on the bed. Alev meets Leyla and Leyla is shocked. She tries to call Zehra but she does not answer. Alev says Zehra passed out and was not well but her family is taking care of her. Leyla is worried. Ömer tries to wake Zehra but she is stumbling. He asks her to go wash her face but she tumbles into his arms. She says I do not know what happened; I drank coffee and… Ömer is concerned. Nazan comes in and says Ayşe needs them to go down. They go down and realize Alev has brought Leyla home.
