Sevim pulls Zehra in. Zehra says she has to go get something from outside. She goes to the yard. Asya is playing there. Zehra tells her that this is a play house and there is a Game Auntie (Oyun Teyze) here. They must not tell anyone about coming there and they must not tell the Teyze anything about themselves. She is a bit crossed but funny. The secrecy is the only way they can play there. Asya promises to keep it a secret between the two of them. They go in.

Zehra shows that child and says here is what I do. I look after her and she tries to explain that the family is secretive because of the sickness of the mother. In the meantime Sevim has called Yener and he arrives. Sevim tells her to be nice to him or else she will tell his father and call Alev as well. Zehra gives some toys to Asya and goes out with Yener. He asks her to give him a chance to talk over dinner. She evades an answer. Asya runs out and falls getting a cut. Zehra asks for meds to bandage it but Sevim has none so Zehra runs to get it. Sevim asks Asya questions but she hushes.

Ömer lets Ayşe know that Zehra and Asya are fine and will go home soon. Alper gives water to Yasemin saying she does not look well. She takes it appreciatively and then goes home. Ayşe wants to go get Zehra and Asya but Nihat says let them have fun. On her way Zehra runs into Mehtap and dodges her questions. Mehtap is jealous of her outfit. Zehra bandages Asya's finger and before they leave, Sevim once more reminds her that she has to come to the date with Yener tomorrow.

Yasemin does not respond to Koray's calls. He goes to her window. She shoos him off. He realizes she is angry with him over Funda.

Ömer goes to the park to get Zehra and Asya. They are not there. He calls Zehra. She says we are in the taxi going home. He arrives home. Ayşe runs out thinking they are together. She is disappointed they're not there. Zehra and Asya arrive. Asya says they went to a different park and had fun. She shows her mom her injured finger. Ömer is suspicious.

In the bedroom he asks if she took Asya to Mahaleh. She says she got tired of the first park so I took her to another park. She had a lot of fun so we stayed longer and on the way back hit some traffic. Ömer looks at her and lets it go. Zehra feels proud of herself for hushing him up.

In the morning he tells her not to go out. She accepts. Yener is fixing himself up in his office for the date. Zehra goes into the kitchen and gets busy helping Hediye with the cooking. Her mother calls and reminds her to go to the date. She calls Ömer and asks for permission to go to her mother to tell her about the family moving abroad. He says be back in an hour. Before leaving Zehra realizes Ayşe is preoccupied. She asks what's wrong, Ayşe says she is fine.

Alev tells Ömer that when he needs her, she will remind him of the way she has treated her and leaves his office. Demir tells her that she needs to prove herself to Ömer on another project and all will be well again. She then hears that Hilmi Yilmaz is involved in a project and calls him to set up a meeting. Demir goes to Ömer to discuss Hilmi Yilmaz. Ömer says call Alev but she is not in the office and won't answer her cell. Ömer worries that she might have gone to Mahaleh with Zehra there. He leaves.

Zehra tells her mom she will not meet with Yener. Sevim threatens her again. Zehra asks if she is being threatened by Yener and if she has a debt to him. Sevim says didn't he pay for the first three months of our rent. Has he not been taking care of us? Ömer calls and tells her he is out there to pick her up. She tells her mother that she would meet Yener outside and tells her to sit. She goes out. Ömer is parked on the next street. Yener is coming from the other side. Zehra is anxious, looking from one direction to the other.

Yener keeps shouting that he is going to get Zehra and do away with the other guy. He rolls the pages saying I will roll him like this and destroy him. Mehtap arrives and gets angry that he is ruining her work. He does not want to give her the papers but Betton takes it (he is taller than both) and gives them to her.

Ömer finishes talking on the phone and tells Zehra that it was Leyla and Alev has gone to her mom again. He says Leyla believes Alev did not find out anything but can't be sure. He says you have to stop going there and I will take care of Alev. He goes down to his study. While working there he sees Ayşe is up. He calls out to her and she says she is fine and just wanted to get a drink and go to bed. He feels there is something wrong. Ömer calls Demir and asks him to come up with a business trip for Alev. He goes up. Zehra is asleep. She has turned over the bed and nicely folded the bedspread. He wonders why she does these things and goes to bed looking at her meaningfully.

In the morning Sevim makes no breakfast. Yasemin prepares some food to take for Salim. Betton comes to the store and sees that Yener is sleeping on the couch in the store. He wakes him up. Betton is concerned that he is falling apart. In the living room, Zehra is playing with Asya and Ömer is on the phone with Demir. He says no, it has to be further. The US, for instance. And also longer. Alev comes down. Ömer tells Alev that Demir is waiting for her and she should go to the office right away.

Yener goes to Sevim's door. He tells her that if Zehra does not come, he will collect his IOUs one way or another. Sevim is beside herself. Yasemin takes the food to the workshop. They call her from the café saying there have a job for her. Koray asks what it is about. Yasemin says it is not your business and goes. Yener goes to Leyla and tells her to tell Zehra if she cares for her family she should show up in three hours or go and visit her parents in jail. He shows her the IOUs. Sevim calls Zehra and tells her Yener has IOUs with Salim's signature and he has threatened to throw him in jail. They need 10 thousand liras right away. She says only you can handle Yener. Zehra hangs up and thinks about selling her necklace.

In his office Ömer once more realizes Ayşe looks upset. She says she is happy he stays home more often. Ömer says in his head that it is for you that I stay home more and hugs her.

Yasemin gets the job. Koray worries about Yasemin. Salim tells him to use his free time to study and go to university because carpentry has no future. He is touched and tells him I am not used to others caring for me.

Zehra is on the phone with Leyla and tells her that she is going to sell her necklace to get her father the money. Ömer is at the door and hears. She takes off the necklace. He goes in and asks what's happening. She says she is going to fix her necklace. He grabs it and says he will take care of it and then notes that there nothing wrong with it. She says she has to sell it to get money to her father or else there will be charges filed against him. He says she cannot go anywhere and she will keep the necklace because everyone thinks it's a wedding present.

Yener calls Sevim and tells her that he is taking the complaint to court. She then gets a call from the lawyer and runs to Salim and tells him that he has to get 10 thousand liras or else. She does not talk about signing IOUs to Yener.

Zehra talks with Leyla saying Ömer has taken the necklace and she cannot sell it now. Leyla tells her to borrow it from Ömer. She says she can't. Nazan hears that Zehra needs the money and won't ask Ömer. Demir tells Alev that they have decided to send her to a six month seminar in the US. She says she does not want to go. Ömer arrives and says she has to go. She goes to her office and is upset thinking Ömer has completely erased her from his life. Nazan calls her and lets her know about Zehra and the money issue. She is surprised that Zehra would not ask Ömer for such a small amount of money if she needs it. So she suspects it involved a dirty secret. She goes home to investigate.

Ömer thinks about Zehra's situation and the things he has overheard from the door. He tells Demir he has to go and leaves.

Yasemin is working at the café and the manager is a bit bossy and rude. Funda calls and confirms that she is working there. She is cooking something nasty.

Alev goes to Zehra's room and offers her a check for 10 thousand liras. She says as a woman she understands her and wants to help. Zehra refuses it and when Alev insinuates that she has married Ömer for money, she snaps and says money has tainted your souls like a disease. She stresses that what is important for her are things that cannot be bought by money such a kindness, love and conscience. Ömer is at the door and hears everything. He goes down. Alev runs into him downstairs. She says Ömer why did you come back early? She then says Zehra asked her for money and she feels Ömer should know. Ömer tells her Alev I think you must have misunderstood because Zehra does not need your money because everything I have is hers. He then adds that I think you are a bit confused these days. I think the US trip will be a good break for you to get your mind straight; you could also treat it as a needed holiday. She is mad. Ömer goes to Zehra and gives her the money.

Zehra asks why. He says I do not want a scandal. She takes it and says I'll treat it as a loan. When I am free after six months, I will pay it all back. He says that's up to you. She says then I'll go to the bank. She goes and calls Yener and he says meet me at the harbour. Ömer follows her and sees her in the harbour meeting Yener. Zehra asks Yener for the IOU. He stalls. Ömer sees them talking. Zehra gets the money out and gives it to him saying I have the money give me the IOU. Ömer sees her giving the money to him and says how did I make that mistake. He is mad and unbuckles to get off the car.
