Zehra comes out of the room with a metal pipe and hits the man on his head. Ömer and Zehra embrace and then run out and get in the car and drive off. Zehra is distraught. They tell each other that they could not stand it if anything happened to the other. Ömer tells her that she is not his lost half; she is everything to him and before her he did not exist. She then again becomes worried about Jülide. Ömer asks for Zehra's phone and calls Murad Bey and tells him that Jülide Kesser may be in danger and he would like him to look for her. Zehra feels better.

At home Ayşe is anxious attributing it to Nihat's being away and her mother not responding to her calls. Canan is redecorating Sabah's office and Koray comes with food. Later Kerem tells Canan that he is going to surprise both Sabah and Aysil. He plans to buy the bakery so Sabah would not have to move and Aysil will have her bakery. Canan goes home all tired and tells the ladies about the developments. They visit Aysil and without ruining the surprise, tell her not to worry, something good hopefully will come out of all this.

At home Ömer rubs ointment on Zehra's arm and bandages it. Ömer comments on how Zehra acted like a superhero breaking door and hitting bad guys on the head. He tells her that he loves her very much and wants to sleep drowning himself in her eyes and wake up looking at those eyes. He says he wants her to be his. He says it is so hard to have her so close and not take her in his arms. She is embarrassed. He does not push it.

They have coffee with the family. Bahşende says if was not nice that Ömer left when Defne came. Ömer says don't worry we'll see her later, she won't mind. Bahşende also tells him that she is looking for work and he should consider finding her an appropriate job at the Holding. Ayşe goes to call Nihat. In the study Ömer talks with Nihat and Nihat tells him I have work to do but all is going well.

Zehra tells Ömer that she is very worried, and these people could do Jülide harm. Her life could even be in danger. Ömer calls Murad Bey and he says they went to the address he had sent, and no one was there. Zehra says I will go out to the verandah to get some air. Ömer calls Murad again and tells him to call them at any hour should there be any development.

Jülide is held by the men in a car as they talk with their boss and tells him that her husband, Ömer Kervancioglu saved her. They pass the phone to Jülide and the boss tells her that now that she has brought her children into the picture, he will show her all that he is capable of. Jülide tells him to leave her children alone.

Ömer goes to Zehra in the verandah. She is distressed. She is also worried that he is not worried enough for Jülide. He says you do not know her I do. I know the darkness in her soul. He says she has no place in my life and I am not to blame for that. Please don't upset yourself over her, he begs her. He then apologizes for causing more distress and wants to calm her. He opens the music box that he is holding behind him and a sweet melody pours out. Zehra is surprised and tells him how she took shelter in the calmness of the melody in childhood whenever she was sad. She then tells him how her mother never really held her as she sees Ayşe hold Asya or even her own mother hold Yasemin. Ömer is really upset and holds her tight with the music box in his hand.

Later they have fallen asleep in their clothes on the bed with Zehra's head on his chest. Zehra wakes up and caresses his face. He wakes up and she wants to pull away, but he holds her hand and puts it back on his face. They enjoy the moment. Later Ayşe goes to Zehra and tells her that she is very worried about her mom. Zehra holds back and only tries to tell her not to worry.

At the office Ipek asks Koray for help in completing files and he shows her the ropes. He then tells her that she should leave early for Sabah's office as Kerem needs some assistance from her. Later Selin comes and brings Koray coffee and cake but he leaves early and Selin is left alone.

Zehra goes to Ömer and tells her that she feels bad lying to Ayşe. Hediye comes in and says there is a strange man who looks beaten up at the door asking for Ömer. They go out. Ömer asks Zehra to wait at the door. He walks down and toward the man. It is Mohsen, whom we have seen with Jülide before. He has bruises all over his face. He tells Ömer that he is here because he felt he had no other choice. He adds that your wife knows me and that your mother's life is in danger.

Jülide hugs him and says my son. She says how her prayers have been answered and she is overjoyed that he has come to save her. He stands there, and pain pours out of his eyes. He looks at her. Zehra hopes that Ömer does not react negatively. Mürad Bey asks Jülide to go to the station to give a statement. She says ok and tells Ömer now that I have seen this day; I can die happily. Mürad Bey asks Ömer to go as well. He says he will go later. Ömer is shaky. He hugs Zehra. Zehra is very happy and thinks that Ömer has broken the chains and now they can be happy.

At home Ayşe also hugs him and thanks him. He goes to his room. Zehra tells her that Ömer allowed Jülide hug him without pushing her away. They feel Ömer has taken a big leap. Bahşende hears bits and pieces. Ayşe talks with her mother on the phone. Bahşende asks Ayşe to explain everything to her.

Zehra looks at her wedding album and remembers the perfect moments of that night and not the necklace pulling episode. In the study, Ömer remembers her mom hugging him.

Bahşende hears Hediye talking nicely about Defne and is happy. Hediye and Cevriye are shocked when Bahşende asks them to give her some food to take to Ömer. She goes to him and tells him he should not let that "evil woman" into their lives and that she does not deserve his help. Ömer says she has no right to meddle in that decision. Bahşende wants to snap at Zehra outside but remembers Hatice's words and stops herself and just tells her Ömer wants to be left alone.

Aysil is lost and they find her and realize some roughneck have attacked her at the bakery, so she had gone to the waterfront to drown her blues.

Ömer goes to the room. He is trying to connect the dots, but nothing makes sense to him. Could she be playing a game or is she really in danger? He does not notice Zehra coming in. Zehra tells him that his doubts are normal and that he is very strong that he is handling all of this without falling apart. They hug. She goes to get him food. She comes back, and he has fallen asleep. She sits beside him. He is having a nightmare. No! No! He says. She holds his hand and dries off his sweaty forehead. He says Zehra in his sleep. She kisses him, and he calms down.

Canan tells Salim and Hamiyyet about Aysil's situation and tells everybody that they have managed to help her keep the bakery. The next day finally Ipek brings Aysil to the store and they tell her that she can keep the bakery.

Zehra wakes up and sees Ömer is not there. She goes to the verandah. He is sitting there. She puts a blanket on his shoulders. His hands are cold. He has been there long. He says he could not sleep. He says I had accustomed myself to living without her and now…Mürad Bey calls. He is not up to answering. Zehra answers and he asks them to go for the statement.

Nihat has come home. Zehra goes around and cannot find Ömer. Finally, she goes out and see him pacing beside the car. They get in and go to the station. Jülide is sitting there. She keeps looking at Ömer. Ömer does not engage her look. Mürad Bey asks Zehra if she is filing a complaint against the men that kidnapped her. She says yes. He asks the same question from Jülide and Jülide looking all concerned at Ömer says no. I have no complaint against my husband. Ömer's face shows anger.
