Ömer remembers once more the night her mother left them with Ayşe crying after her. He is even more upset now that he knows she left them for her father's old partner. He thinks of how this man took everything from his father. He begins digging into the matter and realizes that the Company that Özge passed information to was in fact owned by Arcan Kesser so he realizes that Kesser has serious plans to harm him and the family. He vows that he would not let him do to him what he did with his father.

Arcan Kesser calls Bahşende and talks about his collaboration with her in the past. She is uncomfortable being reminded of it and does not want him to call her. He tells her that she needs to stop Jülide from seeing her children or else their old partnership (that of Bahşende and Arcan Kesser) might surface. Bahşende is agitated by this conversation but agrees to do it but also tells him never to call her again. Hediye brings her tea and she snaps at her for not knocking before she entered. Hediye says she did actually knock but realizes that Bahşende is in a bad mood and lets it go.

Zehra sits in the living room and remembers being in Ömer's arms in the morning and the sweet conversation and kisses. She then remembers how he had fallen apart after her mother refused to file charges against her assailants. Defne comes and tells her she knows that Zehra is very concerned about Ömer but assures her that Zehra has a very good effect on Ömer and is helping him get through this crisis. Bahşende comes and uses the address "my child", asking her to go and get Ömer to come and have coffee. Zehra wants to go but Defne takes it that Bahşende has addressed her (which she has) so Zehra sits back. Bahşende insists that if there is anyone that can convince Ömer to come it is Defne. Zehra lets all these inappropriate talks slip and does not react. Defne goes. Hediye brings the coffees. Bahşende says what took them so long and that when Ömer and Defne get together they just forget the rest of the world. Zehra lets it slip. She is about to go and get them, but they finally come. Zehra gets up and serves Ömer. Bahşende says she has to leave. Ömer asks his grandmother to see him before leaving. She becomes worried that he might suspect she is meeting with Jülide.

Ayşe goes to the office and realizes Nihat is not there. She calls him and Nihat answers from a hotel where his girlfriend is getting dressed. He says he had a little accident and has taken the car for repair. When Nihat arrives in the office, Ömer calls him and is annoyed that he could not be reached. He then tells him to find Özge because he needs to talk to her regarding the Company she spied for. Nihat goes to Koray and Koray says he knows her address and will try to find her.

Canan closes a deal for rental and is happily walking on the street when Çetın goes up to her and tells her that he is there to ask her forgiveness. She is mad and tells him to get lost and that he reminds her of the worst episode of her life. He begs her, but she walks away.

Bahşende goes to Ömer's study. He asks her if she knew her mother had left with his father's old partner Arcan Kesser. She confirms. He asks why she had not told him. She says I did not want you to get upset. I wanted to protect you. She tries to just put the focus on his mother and paint her as the full culprit. Ömer is angry and tells her that he should have been told and asks her if there is anything else she is keeping from him.

Canan does not tell Kerem and Sabah about Çetın because she feels guilty about her own behaviour during her association with Çetın. He sends her a text message again apologizing. She deletes it.

Zehra is in the bedroom and decides that she needs to do something to lighten Ömer up. She dresses up and decides to invite him to dinner and the cinema. She goes to him and he is taken by her in her blue dress. She makes the invitation but he nicely declines saying he is not up for it and does not want to ruin such a beautiful invitation, so he wants a rain cheque. Defne is also in the living room planning a party with old friends to cheer Ömer up. Cevriye realizes and is worried about Defne's presence in the house and her closeness to Ömer.

Defne goes into the study and tells Ömer and Zehra that they should all go to the party with their old friends. Ömer says he is not up to it. Zehra decides to test Ömer. She says I can't come but Ömer you should go, and she leaves ad Defne says I won't take no for an answer. Ömer looks at a loss as Zehra leaves.

Bahşende arrives at the dock with Can and tells him to go. Jülide is waiting for her. Jülide says I suppose he asked you to come. Bahşende tells her that as the matriarch of the family she is concerned for Ömer and Ayşe and demands that Jülide stay away from them or else. Jülide tells her that she is no longer the old Jülide and that she won't be swayed by her threats because she does not fear her. Jülide leaves Bahşende irritated.

Zehra is in the bedroom wondering if Ömer will accept Defne's invitation. Ömer gets a call in the study and says he is coming. Zehra hears Ömer coming and takes her book and pretends that she is busy reading. He enters the bedroom and begins looking through the drawers. Zehra asks what he is looking for. He says the car keys. She thinks to herself "He said he was not up to it, but he is going! Traitor!" She hides her disappointment and just says close your eyes and try to trace back your steps to the last time you saw them. He asks how. She puts her hand on his eyes and says think. He says I can't. She asks why. He says when you are so close to me, I can only think of you. I even forgot what I was looking for. He takes her hand off and kisses it. He then realizes he remembers that the last time he had them he put them in his coat pocket. She goes and gets them. He thanks her for her help and says he has to go but will try not to be late. Zehra is disappointed but reminds herself that he said he won't be late.

At night, Salim is closing shop and Ati takes leave as he has to go away for a couple of days. Salim hears a sound and sees Çetın there. He goes to him and asks if he needs anything. We see Çetın pressing his hands in his coat with a frozen face.

Zehra is getting ready. Once more she has a nice night gown on and sets up the candles and lights them. She remembers the many episodes that Ömer almost kissed her on the lips and the time he asked her what she thought about no longer "WAITING" referring to the consummation of their marriage. She is all excited.

Hours pass. She sits waiting on the bed. It is midnight. She is frustrated and decides to call him. She calls. He does not answer. He must be having a very good time, she thinks. A text message comes saying, go to bed; I will be late; I am not done; do not worry. She is hurt and unsettled.

Once more Ömer and Zehra express their love for each other. Defne calls. She is coming for lunch invited by Bahşende. Ömer wants Zehra to stay with him. Zehra says she must go and make Sherbet with Hediye. They sweet talk about Sherbet.

Özge goes to Koray and Ipek to tell them that Ömer has forgiven her but she wants to beg Ipek's forgiveness. Koray tells her to tell them her tale.

Bahşende gets a call from Arcan. He tells her if Ömer is involved in taking Jülide, I will kill your grandson. Bahşende is worried. Ömer and Defne work on the file in the study. Zehra comes and asks if they are hungry. Zehra and Ömer sweet talk about Sherbet again and Defne wonders what's going on. He says they cannot stop work. Zehra says she will send them the food.

Salim leaves the workshop and gives 100 liras to Çetın as wage. He tries to reject it but Salim will not hear of it. Çetın is moved. Salim goes home and Canan has cooked such a salty and hard food neither of them can eat. Cevriye reminds Nihat of their anniversary. Nihat says he has prepared everything. He gets a call again.

Zehra is in the bedroom and is upset that Ömer is late and also that he does not tell her about Arcan Kesser. She is also puffing the pillows and as she is saying these things, the pillow bursts and Ömer walks in. Ömer comes in and they have another comic episode. Then Ömer's stomach growls and she realizes he is hungry, so she takes him to the kitchen to feed him. He eats a lot of food but they forget to turn off the stovetop and run back to the kitchen to turn it off but it is filled with smoke. He sweet talks her there too. Even though Ömer is not there, Zehra wakes up happily thinking about their late-night fare and adventures.

Ayşe feels Nihat is acting strangely and asks him, but he says everything is fine.

Zehra goes to the study and again they have sweet exchanges. He says he must go to the office but will return soon. He asks her not to go anywhere.

Canan and Sabah are waiting for the Blogger's entry and hope Kerem can convince him to write something good. But he finally puts his blog and he says he cannot recommend the place because of bad service. Canan is very upset. But then the younger guy comes and sets up a regular order for his office. So, they are happy after all. At the workshop Halit comes and refers to Çetın as a murderer of trees. Çetın is nervous but Salim handles the situation and when Halit goes, he explains that Halit has some mental confusion at times but is harmless.

Bahşende asks Zehra if she has seen Jülide recently. She says no and then receives a call. Zehra goes into the room and realizes it is Jülide. Jülide says Arcan is out of control so she had to run. Zehra realizes Jülide is stranded so she gets her address to go to her. She wants to call Ömer before going but she can't get through. She leaves a note for Ömer and goes. She forgets her phone. The note falls on the ground. Bahşende tells Arcan no one here knows about her.

Zehra sees Jülide and realizes she has stayed on the streets last night. She remembers Canan showing a house to her. The owner is dead, and no one has taken it yet. She takes Jülide there and tells her she is going to get Ömer and some supplies. Arcan's guys are looking for her in the neighbourhood.

Ömer comes into the bedroom. Zehra is not there. Mohsen calls Ömer and tells him something. Ömer remembers her mom hugging him, he then calls the police and tells them that Jülide is in danger. He goes around the house looking for Zehra. He is upset and cannot find her. Defne comes and asks what is wrong. Asya is playing hide and seek with Ayşe. She runs into Ömer and Zehra's room and finds the note. She tries to read it and takes it to Ömer and says you got a letter. He says how do you know it is mine? She says it has a big O on it. He takes it and realizes Zehra has gone to Jülide. He gets up and completely ignoring Defne goes out. Outside he sees Zehra arriving. She says; "Ömer, Jülide Hanim!"
