Ömer leaves the kitchen without talking. Zehra tells Hediye Ayşe is thinking of moving. Bahşende hears it too. Ömer goes into his room and vents out his anger asking how Ayşe would do that to him. How would she prefer "that woman" over him?

At the office Ayşe tells Nihat that she feels this is the right thing to do for his brother because her presence in the house would upset him more. Zehra calls Ayşe again and says she wants to tell Ömer that she was her mother's first contact. Ayşe dissuades her. Zehra tells Ayşe that Ömer has fallen into pieces. Ayşe insists that this is best for everyone.

Zehra goes to Ömer. He is standing in the bedroom staring out the window. She wants so much to tell him the truth. She holds him from behind. She says, no one is to blame. He says, that woman is. She presented herself into our lives. He says, I never expected this from Ayşe. Zehra says, we have to realize how much Ayşe has been in need of a mother. Ömer asks, which mother? Can we call that woman a mother? Zehra says, we don't know her story. Ömer says, we know enough. She says, time can reveal things. Look at our story. He says, I could never have imagined this. We have never been separated, Ayşe and I. Zehra thinks Ömer should stop being a parent to her now that she has a mother she can fly to.

Aysil and Salim are about to go to the police when Ipek calls and says Halit is with her at home and they are going to the bakery. Aysil thanks Salim and they part. Sabah and Kerem go to the meeting. He says he was very proud of her. In the bakery Ipek, Aysil and Halit meet happily. At home, Cevriye has come with food for Salim and Hamiyyet and Şükran. He leaves to sleep. Hamiyyet says he spent the whole day with Aysil looking of Halit. They explain that Halit has Alzheimer's disease and gets lost occasionally. Cevriye asks, have you told Salim about what I saw? They say, of course not. Cevriye is not pleased. Fatima goes to Aysil's bakery but feels uncomfortable and does not tell her about the rumours!!

Zehra takes some food for Ömer. Ömer is thinking how Ayşe could believe "that woman". He agrees to drink some OJ and only takes a sip and puts it back. He sits all broken. Zehra says, I'll go so you can rest. He asks her to stay. She tells him time will heal. She holds his big hand in hers. He lets it be taken but does not fold it around hers. He thanks her for being there for him. She puts her head on his shoulder and Ömer, closing his eyes, emanates deep and immense pain.

Koray tells Ipek that he is pleased with her work. Zehra wakes Ömer up. She is in sportswear and has a similar outfit for him. She tells him that he has to go with her to the waterfront for breakfast and she will not take no for an answer. Nihat checks the work and compliments his team. They especially commend Özge which makes her uncomfortable.

On the waterfront, Zehra buys simit for breakfast and gets Ömer to lighten up. They feed the birds with it. Ayşe calls and Zehra tells Ömer to take her to the office for work. He tries to get out of it; she refuses.

Fatima goes to Aysil's bakery and meets Aysil brother visiting from Germany. She realizes what has happened. He leaves. She tells Aysil about the rumours and Aysil cries. She is extremely sensitive to her reputation in the neighbourhood.

Ömer and Zehra arrive at the office. Ayşe comes and says hi. Ömer says he'll be in the office. In her office Ayşe thanks Zehra for returning her mother to her. She insists that her brother also needs to face the problems he has with their mother. Zehra meets Ipek.

Cevriye hears about Ayşe and Nihat planning to move. She says, I have to go then. Zehra and Ayşe can't figure out something in their files. Zehra says I will call Ömer. He comes and Zehra leaves to get coffee. Ayşe hits her head on the side of the table. Ömer is very concerned. Ayşe asks him if he has nothing to tell her. He says, I have told you what I had to say. You know what I think, and you have chosen to disregard it. I have respect for your decision. Now just tell me what the problem is. He checks the papers and solves the problem.

Cevriye tells Bahşende she is leaving. Bahşende asks her to stay because it would help the return of Ayşe and her family. She agrees. Özge gets a call and we realize she is going to send classified material to someone outside the Holding. She is looking for a chance.

On the way home Zehra asks if Ömer talked to Ayşe. He says no much. He says I cannot understand why my sister wants to bring back the murderer of our childhood into our lives again. Zehra is silenced.

At home, the doorbell rings. Hediye opens the door and it is Jülide. Bahşende comes saying "You?" Jülide stands determined.

Zehra explains that Jülide appeared on the day of the court. Ömer is not happy to find out what was the reason for Zehra's sudden change of heart at the court. Zehra goes on to say that she was then curious to hear what Jülide had to say and then Jülide began to seem very real and truthful to her. Like a mother who has suffered for having lost her children. So Zehra explains that she talked Ayşe into seeing her. Ömer is silent. Zehra wants to touch him but he gets up and steps back holding out his shaking hand as he had done to Jülide. Zehra leaves under the weight of sadness. She goes to Ayşe and tells her. Ayşe calms her and takes her to the study to talk to Ömer but he is gone. Nihat tells them that Ömer just left. Zehra calls Ömer but he does not answer. Ayşe, Nihat and Asya take leave at the door. Bahşende tells Zehra she is the creator of this sad picture. Zehra is very upset and in her room as she sweats over the affair, Hediye consoles her.

Sabah tells Kerem she loves him. Kerem and Sabah go to Aysil's pastry shop and have a nice date. Kerem invites Koray and Canan to announce they are going out together.

Ipek tells Koray she has done nothing wrong. She cries not knowing how to prove her innocence. Koray begins deep investigation as he feels Ipek is genuine.

Hamiyyet and Şükran go and visit Aysil. They apologize and confirm their deep friendship. At home, Salim tells them off for pushing the marriage issue and causing problems for Aysil.

Ömer drives to the waterfront wondering why Zehra has done this. He remembers how she had asked for a divorce and then changed her mind. Nihat calls him saying they have lost the deal. Ömer goes to the office. Nihat goes to him. He snaps at Nihat but apologizes after. Nihat leaves and Ayşe goes to talk to Ömer. She tells him how indebted she is to him but that each person has his or her own feelings and ideas about life and can't be kept in a golden cage. She begs him not to blame Zehra for anything as she has entered their lives like an angel and stood by him despite all the horrid things he has done to her and continues to love him. Ömer remains silent. He drives home still upset. Zehra cries herself to sleep in bed. Ömer goes to his room, takes off his jacket and tie. Later he goes into their bedroom and sits at the edge of Zehra's side watching her sleep all night. In the morning she wakes up and sees him. She ges up and begs him not be angry with her and that she only wanted to make everything better and did not realize how things got this far. He gets up and she approaches him and asks him to forgive her. He says I won't forgive you! I won't forgive you because there is nothing to forgive. You are the most blameless individual in this story!!
