Zehra runs outside and Jülide also disappears. Ömer says he has brought her phone which she appears to have dropped in the car. She thanks him and tries to get him to leave. He says it's cold. He wants to take her in and say hi to Sabah. She says Sabah has not come yet. He finally leaves.

Zehra goes back in and Jülide comes back. Jülide says even as a child he was always very considerate and nice taking care of others. She says that he and Ayşe had a very difficult childhood specifically after she had to leave. Then she notices a man outside and becomes anxious. She leaves without much explanation. Zehra is confused. She feels it is as if Jülide is under some form of threat.

Kerem breaks a date with Sabah to go to dinner with Idil and her mom. Koray tells him that he is not treating Sabah right. He says his feelings for Sabah have not changed. Idil is only a friend. Şükran and Hamiyyet talk about Aysil and then also discuss it with Salim. Salim is not interested but they won't give up. Cevriye is miffed.

Zehra tries to contact Jülide but her phone is off. In the room Zehra is anxious. Ömer comes and sees her struggling with the drawers and says he knows something is bothering her because she always does this sort of thing when something's on her mind. He then asks her to go for coffee in the sitting room with Ayşe. While he waits for her to get ready, he gets a photograph of her from the stuff Zehra has pulled out of the drawer. She comes out and sees it. She asks why he has taken it and he says since I am sleeping in the guest room, I wanted to have something of you, is it ok? She nods, and they go for coffee.

Ayşe talks about business but Zehra is occupied and does not hear. She asks to be excused. Zehra keeps asking about Jülide from Hediye. Hediye says she was a very nice woman and a very kind mother. Not the kind of mother that would leave her children. She says that they were not allowed to mention her name and she does not want to open old wounds for Ömer and Ayşe. Hediye is trying to contact Jülide and she can't. Bahşende goes to talk to her and she drops a plate. Bahşende is curt with her.

Ömer goes to Zehra and tells him that he does not know why she changed her mind about the divorce but he is very happy about it. He also realizes that she is very preoccupied and just wants to let her know that he is ready to talk whenever she is. She says I need some time. He says take all the time you need but know that I am here for you.

Later she notices Ömer's watch is in the room. She takes it to him. He is asleep. She fixes his cover. She then sits on the chair and falls asleep. Ömer wakes up and sees her there and wonders if lights had gone out and she was afraid. He wants to cover her but decides to just watch her.

In the morning, she wakes up and fixes his covers again and looks at him lovingly. She then leaves. Ömer is awake. He opens his eyes and smiles with pleasure.

Kerem comes. Sabah tells him to handle the social media aspect of the project. He shirks it saying he is not good at it. Cevriye goes to Salim's in the morning as they are sitting for breakfast and says she has brought börek. Salim pulls a chair for her and she sort of falls. Salim wonders if anything is wrong. Cevriye denies it. Sabah asks Kerem if he might still be interested in Idil. He freezes.

Ayşe goes to say bye to Ömer. Ömer sees her handbag and snaps. The bag reminds him of his mother and thinks Ayşe is using her bag. Zehra is thinking that she perhaps needs to tell Ömer about his mother. Zehra notices Ayşe crying in the sitting room. She asks what's wrong. She tells Zehra that she is upset because she really hurt Ömer unknowingly. She then tells her about the handbag episode. Zehra suddenly decides to talk to her and tells her I need to say something about your mom.

Jülide tells Zehra that she might have left her children in person, but she has followed up on their lives closely. She says that she had to leave but she loves them more than life. She says that she and Ömer's father were very much in love. She also says that if Ömer has done Zehra any wrong it is not his fault; but rather hers. She says that she remembers the look on his face the night she left. She left him with a heavy burden that night and a broken heart that has never mended because she convinced him that she did not love him, but it was not true. She tells Zehra that Ömer has suffered a lot and the wounds he has sustained because of his mother's departure have never healed inside him. He has never gotten close to a woman because of that and Zehra is the only person that has softened his heart a bit.

Meanwhile Bahşende's man is following Zehra and gets a photo of the two women and sends it to her. Jülide is covered and Bahşende cannot figure out who she is.

Ömer wonders where Zehra is. His university friends call and want him to go to their yearly dinner. They say last year you missed it because you were getting married so now you have no excuse. Ömer apologizes and says he can't, thinking Zehra would not accept.

Idil tells Sabah that she is in no way suited to Kerem and should look in her own circle for a man. Sabah is upset.

Zehra goes home and at the door Bahşende begins questioning her. Sabah calls and she is happy to get away.

Canan arrives at the office and sees Idil sitting in Kerem's office and Sabah upset. She asks if Idil has told her anything. Sabah says no. Hamiyyet and Şükran serve Aysil's pastry while Cevriye is there. They all love it at first but when Cevriye realizes Aysil made it, she begins criticizing it.

In the bedroom Zehra cries thinking about the pains that Ömer has suffered and wants so much for him to know that his mother is near and loves him. He comes in and she tries to hide her tears. She then asks how he is. He feels it is unusual. He says when you are near me, I am fine. He says if anything bothers you, it bothers me so tell me why you cried. She says she was just feeling emotional. She then asks him to also share his feelings with her and not keep things from her. He says I have no one else to talk to but you.

Kerem goes to the office and Idil is there. He tries to get rid of her, but she stays. Sabah looks upset. Canan goes to look at files with Kerem. Sabah does not. Finally, when Idil is gone, Kerem goes to talk to Sabah but she is afraid that he is going to tell her he loves Idil and does not want to hear it so she evades him. Özge gets a call during meeting with Ayşe and Koray. It is a suspicious call that she takes in her office.

Ömer's friends call when he is in the living room with Zehra and Bahşende. Zehra says it is fine for them to come. They are coming for coffee, Ömer says. They come and chat. They ask about Ömer's negative qualities. Zehra says he has none. He says the change they see in him is because he has a wonderful wife.

Fatima Abla tells Şükran and Hamiyyet that she has convinced Aysil to see Salim. They tell Salim, but he tells them to let it go.

In the bedroom Zehra thinks what Ömer will do if he hears she has met with Jülide. She also wants to get him to talk about his feelings about his mother. He comes and thanks her for the evening. They chat, and he takes her hands in his. He says I should let you rest. She thinks I wish you stayed. He thinks please ask me to stay. She thinks I can't ask you to stay but wish you would. He says if I stayed… but what if she needs more time. She says Ömer. He whispers in his head; I love you and goes.

Zehra can't sleep and thinks he might have left the window open again. She goes there and covers him with the blanket and thinks about his pains. She kisses him on the forehead. In the living room she runs into Ayşe who is getting a glass of milk. They sit. Ayşe talks about her mom and says I know why our mother left us. She left us for another man.
