Bahşende begins snapping at Zehra fo causing this deception and then asks if Ömer knows about this game they are playing. Ömer arrives and tells her that it is his plan and he will talk to her about it in the study. They leave. Jülide is upset that she is causing so much trouble for Ömer. Zehra says it is only his duty as her son.

Ömer tells Bahşende that it had to be done because Arcan Kesser wanted to kill Jülide. Bahşende says still he is not right to endanger the lives of Ayşe and Asya and himself by allowing that woman in the house. Ömer says I am responsible for the lives of all the members of this family including Zehra, Hediye, her and his grandmother as well. He assures her that he does not take this responsibility lightly. Zehra comes and Bahşende leaves. She says that the good that has come out of Bahşende's discovery is that now Jülide may eat at the table with all the family and spend time with her granddaughter naturally in the house.

Ipek and Koray were lured into the depot by Halit who thinks they are spies. He has locked them in from the outside. They stay there all night and get to know each other. Something seems to be developing between them. Halit finally goes to Salim and begins talking with Çetın. Çetın realizes what he has done and gets the key from him and goes and releases Ipek and Koray.

Asya goes to Zehra and asks her to call her father. Zehra again distracts her with flowers and birds in the backyard. Ayşe snuggles with Ömer. Ömer tells her to inform Hediye that Jülide will be eating at the table.

Zehra dresses up for the dinner and she asks Ömer to help her zip her dress up but the zip is stuck and the handle breaks in Ömer's hand. They go to the table with Jülide. Defne sees Jülide and is surprised. They greet each other. They sit at the table. Bahşende refuses to sit. Jülide wants to leave but Ömer asks her to sit. Bahşende asks to talk to Ömer. Ömer says we can do that after dinner. Bahşende leaves the room and the dinner. They eat. Asya wants to keep her meatballs for her dad. Zehra again distracts her with cake decorations and takes her to the kitchen. Ayşe cries and Jülide consoles her.

Ömer tells Ayşe that he and Zehra will take Asya on a short vacation and meanwhile Ayşe can get her act together. Ayşe agrees. Zehra is very proud of Ömer for this suggestion. They sit in the verandah and enjoy their closeness.

Bahşende is fearful that Jülide may try to reveal things from the past. She decides to call Arcan Kesser who is waiting for a chance to get at Ömer and has heard that they have left the house.

Ömer drives Zehra and Asya to the resort they plan to spend a few days. They discuss a future where they will have their own kids. Ömer says he wants five or six kids.

Bahşende calls Arcan Kesser and tells him that if he promises not to harm his grand and great grandchildren, she will give him information to his liking. She tells her that Jülide is alive and is in their house.

The guy takes out the receipt. Ömer signs it. Murad Bey calls again and lets Ömer know that they have arrested a number of Arcan Kesser's men based on the trap that Ömer set up for them by making reservations at another hotel. Zehra is proud of Ömer for thinking of this plan. They eat and then go out boating. They go back to the room and Zehra puts Asya to sleep and comes out to sit with Ömer but Asya wakes up again and she goes in. Salim calls her and commends them for taking the time to tend to the fatherless child. Ömer and Zehra sit beside the fire basking in the warmth of their love. They go back in and can't find Asya. They find her scared and hiding. The three sleep together. First she is between them; then Ömer goes behind Zehra and embraces her from behind as they sleep.

Ipek and Canan discuss Ipek's adventure getting locked up with Koray. Canan tells her to thank Koray for being there for her. Ipek sends a text. Koray is excited and wants to respond in kind but then he deletes his first reaction and sends a dry "you are welcome." He is scared of getting involved again. In the morning at the bus stop, he is again worried that he might be giving Ipek the wrong message. In the office, Ipek is a bit nervous around Koray. She wants to work with Koray as usual; Koray makes up some excuse and sends her away.

Ömer and Zehra are in the car with Asya returning. Canan calls and asks whether she would forgive someone who has done her wrong but is truly regretful and wants to make amends. Of course, Zehra says yes. Ömer and Zehra return home. Ayşe and Jülide greet them. Ömer holds back from Jülide and cannot hug her. Neither does he refer to her as mom. Zehra notes it and is concerned. Defne and Bahşende come as well. They do not enjoy Ömer and Zehra's closeness. Defne and the rest sit for breakfast. Bahşende leaves again. Jülide has made her special börek for them. Ömer gets a call and leaves before trying it.

Canan meets Çetın and tells him that she forgives him and by doing so, she is also giving herself a chance at leading a good life. He is elated.

Zehra changes Jülide's bandage. She feels really bad for her and the suffering she has endured with Arcan and now with Ömer's distance. She goes to Ömer and tries to encourage him to give his mother a chance. He says he can't. He has tried but he feels getting close to her is betraying the memory of his father. Zehra says get up we need to go somewhere.

Bahşende takes Defne in her room and tells her that she does not approve of Ömer's marriage and also tells her that Zehra and Ömer's marriage is a contract marriage and not based on love so she should not lose hope. She tells Defne that they were on the verge of divorce. She adds that she would approve of Ömer's marriage to Defne. Defne is intrigued.

Zehra takes Ömer to his father's tomb and tells him to talk to his father about his troubles. Ömer sits beside the grave and tells his father that the thought of that fiendish man touching his mother revolts him and even though he knows she went to him to protect them, he cannot tarnish the memory of his father by allowing his mother get close to him. Jülide arrives and tells him there are things you do not know. Ömer wants to leave but Zehra begs him to stay and listen to her. Jülide tells him that she might have left but she never betrayed her husband, Taher (Ömer's father). She says if that man (Arcan) had even touched her she would have killed herself. She then talks about how the longing to see her children had kept her alive. She is about to pass out when Ömer takes her in his arms and embraces her hard and calls her "anne!" (mother!)
