Zehra goes home and begins preparations with Şükran for the evening gathering. Cevriye wants to ask Ömer about what's going on but Hakan arrives and Ömer takes him into the study where he explains the situation. Cevriye hears everything at the door. Hakan calls his father and he says although he is not well, he will accompany Ömer. Hakan leaves and reminds Ömer to get the flowers and candy before going to pick them up for the evening.

Meanwhile Sabah pretends that Kerem has a bad temper and has beaten her. Nurçin becomes concerned that Kerem might treat her the same way. Kerem meets Sabah's buyers and tells them that the house is not for sale. Sabah is angry and during their spat it comes out that Kerem told the mafia goons which direction Sabah had gone which is hwy they had found her. Sabah is very angry with Kerem.

Zehra sees Sabah on the street and asks her to join them for the evening event.

Nihat and Ayşe invite Cevriye to go with them out for dinner. She prepares. Hakan arrives and Ömer wonder why he has come. Unfortunately, Ishak, his father has been taken to the hospital and he has not been able to come. Cevriye hears from behind the door. Ömer realizes there is no remedy and they have to go without a more senior person.

Zehra opens the door and when she realizes Ishak is not with them, she is worried. Salim sees Ömer and Hakan and notes unhappily that he expected more people with them. They try to explain that Ishak was taken to hospital. The bell rings. Ömer and Zehra are at the door. Zehra opens the door. It is Cevriye.

Hatice says did you think you're just gonna come to the village and take a girl. Ömer says not at all, we wanted to kiss your hand and get your blessing. Ömer asks if he has unknowingly done something to offend her. Hatice leaves. Ömer asks Zehra what is going on. Zehra is just as perplexed. Hatice comes back with bedding and a blanket for Ömer and says Zehra is staying here tonight. If you want, you can sleep on the sofa. We get up early here. Ömer says I get up early too.

Sabah goes to Kerem and says she does not need guarding. Kerem drives off a bit but cannot get himself to leave. So, he keeps guard a bit further away.

Ömer cannot sleep so he steps outside and texts Zehra to join her. Zehra finally manages to get away while Hatice sleeps. When she goes outside, the door handle comes off in her hand and they are locked out. She calls Ömer to take care of it because she feels if Hatice wakes up and sees them outside together, she would get mad. Ömer finds some tools on a shelf and finally opens the door. They sneak in and Zehra runs back to the bedroom and when Hatice asks where she had been, she says the bathroom.

In the morning Hatice gets up and Ömer is still sleeping. She wakes him up curtly and says this is not the city, you have to get up early. Ömer goes out. They are making bread. Hatice tells him to cut firewood. When he brings it, she says the logs are wet and would not burn. Hatice continues to be curt with Ömer. Zehra gives him something to eat.

Hatice gives Ömer a bucket to fill with water. She tells him to go to the main tap. He goes and fills the bucket. On the way back, a local man kindly offers to carry it for him saying he is going to Hatice's place. When they arrive, Hatice is not pleased to see Ömer is not carrying the bucket himself. The guy asks Hatice to go check their cow.

Kerem makes Sabah believe that there is a customer for the house, so she goes to his house. They argue. He tells her that he has had to watch over her all night, so the mafia does not give her trouble. She darts back that she does not need his help. The argument takes them to comparing real estate agent skills and a dare over who can sell or rent out a house first.

Hatice leaves to check the cow with Zehra and tells Ömer to stay and fix a broken wall. Ömer pays a tradesman to fix the wall. When Hatice sees it was not done by him, she is seriously upset. She tells Ömer you have come to ask for Zehra's hand? You can forget it, she says; I will neither trust you with Zehra nor with any other task.
