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.
