Ömer goes in and sees her all pale and asks if anything is wrong. She is about to say something but Alev comes in and says are we going Ömer. Zehra says you are leaving. Ömer says I can stay. Zehra says no go. She wonders if it is true and he has really escaped. Ömer tells Alev to wait outside and asks her again if everything is ok. She says it is fine. He says he will go and be back early and asks what she is doing. She says I will be home. He goes. Zehra calls the hospital and tries to get info but they will not give her any news of Yener. She feels she has to assure herself about it and decides to go to the hospital.
Koray sits Yasemin down and tells her that he cannot do that to Salim and take her daughter away without her permission. Yasemin is angry and on the way back runs into Şükran. She tells her that her father wants to send her to the village. Şükran takes her home and tells her to put away her bag before her father sees it. She sits and talks with Salim telling him that he needs to keep his daughter close to him. Salim is still determined to send her.
Mehtap hears that her brother has run away and is mad. Tyfun comes to see her and tells her she better tell them if anything comes up otherwise it would get worse for her brother.
At work Alev talks about the dinner again and Ömer says he will go with Zehra. Alev is miffed and goes to get coffee. Ömer gets a call from the Tyfun that Yener has escaped. He calls Zehra but she does not answer. He remembers the fear in her face in the morning with her phone and realizes she has probably heard. He leaves quickly making Alev mad.
Zehra is walking to the hospital and Ömer drives right in front of her. She asks what are you doing here? What are YOU doing her, he asks. She says Yener has run away and that she needed to find out if it was true. He gets mad that she did not tell him and came alone. She says she did not find the right opportunity to tell him and accepts she made a mistake. He hushes. She says there is more. She gives him the letter. He reads it and crumples it and again says why did you not show this to me from the beginning. Again she says I did not get a chance. He says we live in the same house and in the same…She again accepts she was wrong but also that he has to realize when he is busy he becomes unapproachable. He says there can be no excuse. She accepts that she was wrong; adding that from the beginning she was wrong for believing Yener when he said Ömer was involved in her mom's departure.
Koray goes to Salim; asks for his forgiveness and tells him that his father never acted like a parent to him and thanks Salim for teaching him what true parenthood is and asks that he does not take that away from Yasemin over him. He then tells Salim that he will go away so he does not have to send Yasemin away.
Zehra and Ömer come home. No one's there. They want to go to the bedroom to talk when Nihat comes and greets them. Alev arrives from the back and asks Ömer how come you are home early; didn't you say you had something to do? Nihat says you changed places with Ömer; he should be asking you this question. Alev says I am asking my work partner not my boss! Nihat says don't worry he is with his wife. Meanwhile Zehra and Ömer are looking from one side to the other. Ömer says let's go to the bedroom and they leave. Alev is miffed.
Leyla runs into someone trying to break in to their home at night. Şükran calls Tyfun.
At night Ömer and Zehra enter the bedroom. Ömer says everyone turned in early. Zehra says good; I was tired. He says it probably gets hard for you always pretending. She says no; it's not that. A smile from Ayşe suffices for me. And anyway, I don't have to act with her. Ömer is moved. Zehra says what are we to do with Yener out. Ömer says he might not have run away if you had not gone to the hospital. She says you saw the letter, I thought he might know where my mother is. He says how can you trust someone like him. She says it was not trust; it was just a flicker of hope. They change and get in bed. Zehra apologizes to him for blaming him for her mother's actions. She says I still can't believe how a mother can leave her children. But I feel I wanna know. He says sometimes the things you don't know make you happier. She says you understand me because you mother left too. He says yes. She asks why she left. Words dry up in his throat and he gets out of bed. Zehra reproaches herself for opening his wound.
In the morning Zehra comes in with breakfast. Ömer comes out of the bathroom and sets the table and they sit to eat gözleme. It is hot so Zehra wraps it in a napkin and blows on it before giving it to him. He looks at her, eats and thanks her. Yasemin calls and tells Zehra that Salim wants to send her to the village. She tells Ömer she has to go to Mahaleh. Ömer says it is too dangerous with him out. He then accepts to drive her there.
Ömer drives her there and waits for her to go in. He calls Tyfun but no news of Yener. Zehra talks with her dad but he cannot be dissuaded. She talks with Yasemin and Yasemin tells her that Koray asked for her hand. Zehra tells her that even if she goes to the village it would be for a couple of days and then their father would bring her back. She goes out and Ömer is still there. She goes to the car and tells him that Koray has asked for Yasemin's hand. Ömer is amused and says he is bold.
Hilmi Yilmaz lets Alev know that Yener has escaped. She decides to use that information. Koray goes to tell Yasemin that he is leaving and Salim hears him telling Yasemin to listen to her dad and feels proud. Fikrat comes with his goon to get Koray. Salim stands between them and tells Yasemin and Koray to go in. Koray runs to Salim.
Ömer and Zehra arrive home and Alev comes acting distressed that she was followed by somebody and was scared. The doorbell rings. Flowers for Zehra. Alev says read the note. It is a love note from Yener. She does not know what to say.
