Ayşe calls and Ömer realizes Zehra is not home. He gets up to go. Alev asks Ömer if it is a good idea for her to go to the US when this bid is so tight, insinuating that he needs her in Istanbul. Ömer does not listen and says talk about it with Demir and he leaves. She is mad.

Zehra is at home. Her father tells her not to worry; they can recover from the damages. Sevim keeps making a scene. She calls Yener secretly and tells him Zehra is there. Zehra talks with Yasemin in her room. Ömer calls her. She does not answer. She comes out and begins to walk. Yener arrives and comes out of the car. He stops Zehra and tries to hold her hands. She tries to release herself. She tells him to shove off. Ömer arrives. He pulls down the window. He sees them entangled. He gets out and stands by the car. Zehra sees her. Yener also sees Ömer standing by his car. They stare at each other. Ömer tells Zehra to get in the car. She walks to the car and sits in it. Ömer gets in the car and they drive off.

Yener is mad. He goes and knocks on Sevim's door and says he saw Zehra with a man. Sevim says it can't be like you say. It might be her boss. Salim calls and Yener leaves. Leyla goes to visit. Sevim asks her about the guy. She says she does not know anything.

Ömer says you say you came to see your father but I find you with him. Zehra begins to explain but stops and says whatever I say you will not believe me. Ömer suddenly stops the car. He gets out and goes around and makes her get out. They are at a bend. He asks if this is how the next six months going to be like. You lying and running away and me coming to find you. She says if you gave me permission to see my family it would not be like this. He says: your family? I saw you in his arms! Zehra is mad and walks off on the road. He goes after her and as a car comes around the bend he pulls her off and they fall beside the road in each other's arms. There is a moment. He gets up and helps her up. The get back in the car.

Koray has promised to take Funda to the cinema if she gets Yasemin to take an exam he has paid for to improve her chances at passing the university entrance exam. Funda calls Yasemin saying she has made herself beautiful for the date with Koray. Yasemin is jealous. She opens the window and sees that Koray is actually at her window and hence Funda is lying.

Alev leaves in the morning. Müzeyyen is upset and goes to find out why she has sold the earrings. Ayşe talks with Ömer about having children. Ömer goes up. Zehra is handling herbs and reading. He asks her how she got out yesterday without the guards noticing. She says nothing. He tells her not to leave that day. She says she wasn't going to. She takes her things and wants to go; they bang into each other. Ömer notes she has forgotten one pot. She says I need that.

Yasemin cancels her lesson with Alper. Ömer goes to the office. Yener finds Demir's address. Demir asks Ömer to take him home and go for a game of squash. He accepts. Yener goes to Demir's house and throws things around and breaks his picture with Ömer. Ömer and Demir arrive and realize there has been a break in.

Yener steps out and looks at him. Then he gets in his car and drives away. At home Zehra is worried and keeps calling Ömer. Ömer comes to and forces himself off the ground. He has injured an arm. He finally gets in the car and speaks to Demir and drives off.

Yener is at the store in the dark, worried and excited. Mehtap comes and gives him a startle. He tells her to go and check the street. She goes and calls that there is nothing. He calls Betton to go check it. He says there is nothing.

Ömer goes to the emergency and gets his arm treated. Tyfun calls and says that thkidnapper has run away. They see the video and recognize the kidnapper disguised as a doctor. Ömer goes home. Zehra is waiting for him and meets him in the garden. She expresses worry. But he is cold. Upstairs he asks what happened to his arm. He is curt. He says he does not want her to be alone with Asya again. She says why. He says because I do not trust you. He tells Zehra the kidnapper got away from the hospital adding that criminals always find a way! Zehra is confused. She helps him take his medication.

Alev tells Müzeyyen that Ömer does not want her in the office or in the house. She is upset. Alev goes to the office. Ömer comes down and asks for Alev. He says he had the injury during a game of squash. He goes to his study. Ayşe insists that Zehra follow him and pamper him. She goes and he is cold. He says why are you here, I want to be alone. She says you can't because you are a married man and I am your wife. He is annoyed. He begins talking roughly and suddenly begins caressing her face. Ayşe is at the door. She comes and wants them to go for coffee and sweets. Ömer says, Zehra will come but he has work. Ömer tells Demir to get Alev to go to the US. Alev renders her resignation to Nihat and he processes it. Müzeyyen is upset over the Alev issue. Ayşe asks Zehra to get Ömer to forego sending Alev to the US. She goes to him. He is angry with her and says she is the reason he has to deal with all these problems. She says it is your fault for not letting me see my family briefly once a week. He says you keep talking about your family but every time you go there I see you…with antoher! Zehra is annoyed. Ömer tells her to tell them she has convinced him not to send Alev to the US. This way everyone and specifically Alev will think he really cares for Zehra. Zehra goes and tells Ayşe and Ayşe says it shows that he really loves Zehra because he never changes his position on work protocol. She feels Zehra has really changed Ömer.

Yener goes to Salim to offer help and perhaps lend money. Salim refuses and says they are fine. Yener is upset that Salim refuses to get more indebted to him!

Zehra goes up and tells Ömer that she has done as he said. Ömer gets a call from work. Alev gets the money and goes home. Ömer goes down angry and calls Nihat. In his study he shouts at him saying how did he dare accept Alev's resignation without checking with him. Nihat says I am the HR Director and I have my own authority. Ömer sniggers. He is upset and puts his card on the table and says if you say not then take this and he leaves the room. Ömer follows him with the card. Ayşe sees them storming out and asks what's going on. Nihat says ask your brother. Ömer says nothing just work matters. The doorbell rings. It is Cevriye, Nihat's aunt.
