When Menekşe and Halil learn that the police are looking for Halil, they start to run away again. Halil is in disbelief about what hears about Zeynep. Zeynep denies that she has revealed their address to Kadir but Halil hangs up on her in disappointment.

They settle in Yusuf's hostel to spend the night. The next day, Menekşe's mother and grandmother will come to Istanbul. Yusuf goes to the airport to meet them. Menekşe and Halil are left alone in the hostel.

Kadir's condition is gradually improving. But still no suitable kidney has been found. Emotional moments arise when Süheyla goes to the hospital. While Hasan and Mustafa keep watch over Kadir, Yusuf brings his mother and grandmother to the hostel. Menekşe is very relieved to see her mother and grandmother for the first time in weeks, but she is very concerned about Kadir.

Unbeknownst to one another, Menekşe and Halil decide to take a serious step to change the situation. Halil shares his decision with Yusuf. Yusuf gives a gift to Menekşe and Halil  consenting they spend the whole day together alone on the town. Menekşe and Halil spend the day together visiting different parts of Istanbul. When they return, Menekşe goes on to pack her bag and go to the hospital to donate her kidney to Kadir while Halil heads on to the police station. Hearing that Menekşe is at the hospital, Halil goes to her.

Menekşe goes into surgery unaware that Halil has been arrested. Everyone watches Halil being taken away with curiosity and amazement. When Hasan learns the story of Halil from Yusuf, he is confused.

Mithat is also arrested as he is about to flee abroad. The police want Halil to cooperate in order to prove Mithat's crimes. The kidney transplant is successful. The waters settle between the family. While Halil is trying to clear himself, Menekşe patiently waits for the day they will meet.

Menekşe is once again shaken by her father's decision to return to Germany. She doesn't want to leave Halil and go anywhere. But this time she is not alone. The whole family is against Hasan. Nobody wants to go back. They decide to settle in Istanbul. Hasan goes to Germany to sell their properties.

Halil is released and Zeynep has managed to get close to him by defending him through the legal procedures. He meets Menekşe. The family is happy to see him. Kadir however reminds him that Menekşe is still legally married and he should not been around her. Menekşe is angry at Kadir but together with Halil they decide to wait for her father's return while also pursue her divorce through legal channels.

Ostracized by the family, Mustafa is having a hard time. Mithat's team have dispersed so he is completely alone. While he is wandering around Istanbul, penniless and alone, his anger towards Menekşe and Halil grows even more. A woman he meets in the park one night makes him revaluate his revenge on Menekşe with greater ferocity.
