At the last minute Ömer swerves and gets out of the way. He stops the car to gather himself. He then drives to the waterfront. He remembers the sweet moments of the wedding night and then remembers the pulling off of the necklace. He then remembers the many times Zehra kept asking him what was wrong and he refused to talk. He remembers how she told him one day he would regret his doings. He screams into the sea with deep ruefulness: "Zehra!"

In the bedroom, Zehra begins to pack her suitcase. She begins to remember the hurtful moments of degradation by Ömer and cannot handle her wounded feelings. She tries to remember the good moments as well, but the bad ones keep rushing into her mind. Zehra feels her only way to get rid of the pain is to leave this bedroom and this House.

Kerem refuses to discuss his feelings with Canan. Sabah gets a call from a large business to whom she and Kerem had offered a business pitch. They are interested in meeting with then. She shares the great news with Canan and Kerem.

Sabah calls Zehra to share the news and Zehra tells her that she is separating from Ömer. Sabah is shocked and asks her not to rush into anything and give their love a chance. Zehra says I have made my decision.

Bahşende asks Zehra to join her in an event where she would like to introduce her to some of her social set. Ayşe says they have a business meeting with Zehra so she cannot go that day. She then gets Zehra to bring some of her sketches and show Bahşende. The matriarch is impressed by Zehra's skill.

On the pier, Ömer sits desolately still thinking about his situation. He calls his lawyer and tells him he will, under no circumstances, agree to a divorce.

Zehra gets a call from her dad and goes outside to talk. Ömer arrives and goes to her. He tells her that she once told him never to let go of her hand. He will never let he go. Zehra tells him Bahşende is looking from the window. Ömer tells her that he does not care who is looking. These are his true feelings. Zehra goes back into the bedroom. She is stirred by Ömer's touch but tries to snap out of it. She asks the heavens for strength to leave Ömer because she is clearly aware how much she loves him.

Nihat realizes he does not have the CD and tells everyone in the office to look for it.

Ayşe goes to Ömer in the study and tells him about her business plans with Zehra. Ömer tells him that they could use the Kervancioglu offices for their space and also take advantage of some of their staff. He asks Ayşe however not to tell Zehra that it was his idea. Nihat comes in. Ayşe wonders why Ömer does not want her to tell Zehra the truth. Nihat realizes Ömer's hesitation and says he probably does not want his wife to feel he wants to hover over her all the time. Ayşe accepts.

In the living room Cevriye tells Zehra that Ayşe has been talking with Ömer for a long time. Zehra thinks Ömer is probably telling her about the divorce. She becomes jittery. Ayşe goes into the living room and says she has something important to discuss with Zehra and wants everyone to hear. Zehra thinks is it about the divorce and becomes uncomfortable. Ayşe then says she has decided hwo she and Zehra can work together. Zehra is surprised. Ayşe tells her about working from the Kervancioglu Holding premises. Bahşende is not too happy about this partnership. Zehra tells Ayşe that she is not ready yet. Ayşe lets go but is determined to pursue it later. Ömer listens to the conversation without being seen and then goes back to the study.

Kerem tells Koray that he is in love with Sabah, but he does not want to tell her because if she does not feel that way, then he might lose her friendship as well. Koray tells him he should start with little nice gestures such as little gifts and then reveal his feelings for him.

Ömer goes into the bedroom and sees Zehra's suitcase on the the bed. He wonders how much she hates her that she is in such a rush to leave. He says one more time that he will not agree to the divorce. She says you are being a bully. He says defiantly, no, I am only in love with you. She asks if he put ideas in Ayşe's head. He says she asked for support and I agreed. She accepts that it could have been Ayşe's idea but assures him that such things would not keep her from her decision. He says neither will I be dissuaded from my decision. They tell each other: "We'll see!" He takes his pillow to leave the room. She says sodftly you can sleep in your bed; you did not sleep last night either. He says: "it's not necessary!" and leaves.

In the morning Asya goes into her parents' room and finds the CD on the floor. She takes it thinking it may be a cartoon CD.

Sabah sets up a nice breakfast and calls Kerem over. Kerem gives her a new backpack. He had noticed that he old one was torn. Sabah is impressed and grateful.

In the morning Ömer and Zehra run into each other at the bedroom door. He says we cannot leave each other's orbit; we are drawn to each with a great magnetic force. She says I do not want to destroy myself like a butterfly drawn to light. Her phone rings. Her lawyer says Ömer will not agree to a divorce, so this can prolong matters. She is angry with him. She says he has killed their love and has to accept it. He says he will never agree to a divorce. She tells him she will go and tell her dad right away. He grabs her arm to stop her.

Ömer returns and Zehra snaps at him for playing games. She says you are up to your old tricks. He says it was Nihat's idea that it would give us a chance to talk. Zehra says did you think you could solve the problems by bringing me here? No, you can't? The problems are in my head. He says and my feeling for you are here, beating his heart. He says yes, I took part in a lie because I love you. She says maybe not trusting someone is the same as saying you never loved them. Maybe you never loved me. Ömer storms and holds her close saying, this is not the truth and you know better than anyone how I love you truly and madly.

Zehra wants to leave but they come face to face with a couple. They are neighbours who have heard Ömer is here and have come to thank him for helping them when their roof had collapsed. They have brought goat's milk yogurt. Zehra is impressed by Ömer's role in their lives. Zehra ends up returning to the house as they invite the neighbours to dinner and eat together. The neighbours are happy that their prayers for Ömer have been answered and he has found his love and married a nice woman. They extend further prayers for a lasting life for the couple and Ömer once more says amen to that.

Once they leave, Zehra says if our happily-married-couple act is over, I am going to leave now. Ömer protest against her description. You know it well, don't you? You have practiced it for months acting like the loving husband in front of others and then turning your bitter face to me in private and acting as if I am the worst kind of person in the world. Ömer melts at Zehra's reminder of his behaviour in the past.

Zehra leaves. It is pitch dark outside. Ömer begins to count thinking she is going to come back soon. However, it is not as soon as he expected so he runs to get his coat and follow her but when he comes with his coat she has come back and warns him not to say a word. She says she will leave first thing in the morning. He says we will leave together in the morning. Ömer locks the door and put sthe keys in his pocket.

Zehra goes to sleep in the room. It is too cold, so she comes back out. Ömer gives her a cushion to sit near the fireplace and warm up. She wants to drop firewood in the fire and some embers fall on her hand. Ömer fusses over her delicate arm.

Ömer is going to sleep in the bedroom but Zehra stops him saying he can sleep on the sofa. Ömer assures her that he will be fine in the bedroom despite the cold. Zehra insists that he can sleep on the sofa. So they both settle in the two sofas. The dark scares Zehra so they light some candles and begin to talk. Ömer happily recounts the story about coming there with his dad and Ayşe and how they had lost his sister and looked for her everywhere and found her in the closet with chocolate covered hands. Zehra asks how come your mother was not there. Ömer says she had left us and his joy melts away from his face.

Later he gets up and they continue talking intimately and smiling at each other through the night.

Kerem is irritated by Teo's appearance and has no chance to declare his love for Sabah. Koray spends the night working at Salim's and is late for work. He falls asleep on his desk. Özge keeps rebuking him.

Nihat asks Ayşe if she has found a CD lying around. She has not.

Ömer wakes up in the morning and sees that Zehra has taken the keys form his pocket and let herself out. He follows her and catches up with her. She is scared but tells him she will take care of herself. He is about to follow her when suddenly loses balance and falls injuring his ankle. Zehra helps him back to the house and feels responsible for what has happened to Ömer.

At the House Asya gives the CD to her mom so she can set it up for her to see. Ayşe takes the CD. She realizes it has to do with Alev and is about to see what is on it.
