Ömer says what are you talking about. Bahşende says Zehra is not an appropriate choice. He thinks he is in love with her. But she is clearly only after his money. As the matriarch of the family, she says, she feels it is her duty to try and avoid the same disaster that happened with her dad to repeat. She reminds him of how his mother left her father. She says Zehra, like Ömer's mother is a different class from Kervancioglu family and he should prevent her from harming the family by divorcing her. She then asks him to think about what she has said and make a brisk decision. Ömer remembers Zehra's words from the wedding night and his mother's words to his dad on the night she left, and he once more lapses into his morose mood. He wiggles his wedding band in deep thought.

Bahşende leaves the room. Outside she runs into Zehra. She asks if she needs something. She snaps that she only wanted to be alone with her grandson. Zehra goes into the study and tells Ömer that she is going with him to the office to help if any questions rise by the police. Ömer tells her coldly that the best help she can offer is to stay in the House and out of trouble. He leaves and while driving his preoccupations almost get him into an accident. He pauses to get himself together.

Zehra sits concerned about the police activities at the office. Ömer receives the warrant from Murat and tells Selin to assist him in his investigation. Zehra wants to call Ömer when he calls her. He asks him if she has any other bank accounts that he does not know of. He wants to be sure they open everything to the investigation and do not create unnecessary misunderstandings. She says she does not. She then asks if he will be late. He does not think so. Ömer pulls his drawer and sees his photo with Zehra from the early days. It brings him mixed feelings.

Sabah comes back after disappearing briefly and acts as if nothing has happened. Kerem realizes she is denying the truth. He thinks another shock might snap her out of this denial. She accepts Teo's flowers which Kerem does not appreciate.

Zehra has put on a nice dress for dinner. They are about to go for dinner when Zehra sees her shoes. She asks him to wait. She quickly runs and changes them and on her quick return slips and falls into Ömer's arms. He holds her, and they bask in the warmth of the moment.

At the table, Ömer asks Hediye to spare him the soup. Zehra then wants to serve him some other food when Bahşende snaps that serving food is the role of men, of course only when there are not servers. She then makes a point that it is only natural that she, considering her background, does not know these things. Ömer says I am very thankful that my wife shows me such care and asks her to go ahead and give him some food.

In the bedroom, Zehra thanks Ömer for supporting her at the table. He says I only did what had to be done. Ömer notices that she is limping. He goes out of the room. She gets in bed and takes out her book. The same photo of them is in her book. She looks at it. He arrives at the door and notices her looking at the photo. When he steps in, she gets nervous and drops the photo. He picks it up and gives it to her after looking at it briefly. She puts it away. He puts ice on her leg with great care. He then changes and sits on the chair to read.

Ömer is sitting beside Zehra in bed as she sleeps. He smiles and caresses her face. She wakes up and sees him. He has made breakfast for her and tells her that he has made many mistakes and asks for her forgiveness and promises to make amends. They embrace and are about to kiss when Zehra wakes up and realizes it was a dream and Ömer has fallen asleep on the chair.

Zehra prepares breakfast for Ayşe and takes it for her. Ayşe is very upset and has no appetite. She feels she can't forgive Nihat.

Ömer is in the study. He is thinking and touching his wedding band. He goes looking for Ayşe. Bahşende is in the living room and tells him, she is in her bedroom. She notices he is not wearing his wedding band.

Zehra tries to remind Ayşe of how Nihat loves her. Ömer walks to Ayşe's door and overhears Zehra listing for Ayşe the proofs of love. One who is ready to put their own life in danger to protect the other, to sacrifice everything for the other. She says sometimes, things might not go right but that does not mean they love you any less.

Ömer goes back to the study. Bahşende goes in and asks him did you decide about Zehra. He says I did, with the wedding band in his hand. He puts on the band and says I will never give up my wife.

Ömer takes the photo from Zehra and snaps at her for meddling in his past. He says it is not too much to ask you to show some respect for privacy. She tries to explain that she did not take that photo, but he takes it and leaves.

Sacid visits Piton in an abandoned building. He wants Sacit to send him abroad. Sacit says he will have nothing to do with him. Piton seems set on making a move against Ömer Kervancioglu.

Ömer looks at the photo in the study and is about to tear it when Nihat knocks on the door so he puts it away. He tells Ömer that the situation with Ayşe remains bad and he feels terrible. Ömer tells him that he must try hard to regain her trust and never, ever again, compromise that trust in the future.

Kerem tries to upset Sabah's routine and shock her into accepting reality. She remains calm and unmoved by the disturbances he causes in her office.

Ömer goes into the bedroom. Zehra tells him once more that she did not take that photo. She says he just looks at things from her own limited vantage point and accuses her unfairly. He does not want to hear it.

Asya sets up a romantic breakfast table for her parents on the veranda and gets them to sit down and talk. Meanwhile Bahşende goes to Ömer and asks him to allow her to spend the rest of her days in the House with them. He agrees saying this is also your home. He then goes out with her to Zehra, Hediye and Cevriye in the living room and announces that his grandma will be living with them from now on. He asks Zehra to look to her needs as the lady of the House. Zehra accepts graciously.

Ömer then wants to leave for work. Zehra goes out to see her off. He tells her that his grandma will make every effort to take over the House, but you should not let her. Zehra remains silent. He asks if she is not planning to talk. She says what is the point when you do not hear me! He says if you are giving me the silent treatment to get back at me, then there is nothing to say, and he leaves.

Şükran calls Zehra and tells her about Sabah and her concern for her. Zehra is very upset about Sabah's trials and promises Şükran to talk to her. She then calls her friend and arranges to meet her outside.

Piton takes a taxi to Kervancioglu Holding building. The taxidriver sees his gun and later informs the police.

Sabah tells Zehra that she is fine and now appreciates her adopted parents even more for their love and kindness. Back at her office, Ayda comes to thank them for helping her and says without them she might have lost the chance to mother her child. The statement moves Sabah.

Officer Murat calls Ömer to tell him that Piton has been spotted around their office and they should be on guard. Ömer calls Zehra. She does not answer. He calls home. Hediye tells him that Zehra is out. He runs to his car. On the way he calls Zehra again. Zehra is walking in a back street toward the House. She answers the phone. Ömer tells her to watch out. She turns around and Piton has a gun to her head as Ömer is driving toward them in his car.
