Hilmi Yilmaz makes implicit threats. Ömer says I will not engage your dirty tricks. I am neither a prey nor a hunter. You will drown on your own dirty tricks. He calls Zehra. She has just arrived at home with Mert and says so. Ömer says but I had left you a note. She says I did not see it. He is disheartened. Zehra walks into the house chatting with Mert. Mert is telling her interesting anecdotes about his cooking and they go in the kitchen where Mert begins cooking dinner. Zehra is a bit pensive but gets into the cooking mode with Mert and helps him.
Koray is ashamed of Salim. He does not go for dinner at their place. He says he better stay with Shukran anyways since she has not been feeling well.
Mert finishes making the food and serves it to Zehra. Zehra eats and commends him on his cooking. Ömer arrives and Mert says don't worry I have made some for you too. Ömer whispers in Zehra's ear that this is the dinner they have been trying to have. He tells her that Mert knows. Zehra is upset and leaves. Mert is perplexed. He asks Ömer why he had left Zehra all alone. He tells Mert that he got a call from the security guard and went to meet him but nothing came of it. Mert is concerned.
Ömer goes to the bedroom. Zehra is mad at him for not telling her that he has told Mert about them. Ömer goes in and says I would have if you had waited for me and we had gone to dinner. She says is this what you wanted to talk about. He says no. She cuts him off and says it is not important anyways. He says it is important for me. She snaps back that tonight you showed for the second time how important it was for you. Ömer is stumped!
In the morning Alev receives an invitation to the Avanta Business meeting on the weekend. Ömer sees Zehra and Mert together. Mert is explaining things about the website. He goes to them and there is some tension. Mert talks on innocently. Ömer tries to interject regularly to draw attention. Hediye gives him his invitation. He tells Zehra to get ready for the weekend trip. They are going together. Zehra says do I have to come. He says we go as a pair. Mert says innocently that isn't Alev going. Zehra suddenly remembers the scene with Alev pressing herself against Ömer in the hotel room. Ömer says they know I am married so I can't go with Alev. Zehra agrees to go. Mert says then it is resolved and goes. Zehra then tells Ömer that she does nto want to go. Ömer says that is out of the question.
Salim apologizes to Koray about snapping at him and tells him such accidents sometimes happen. They se tout to work hard to catch up. Cevriye and Müzeyyen go to the benefit party. Yasemin gets her university money from the bank and takes it to Koray to pay their debts. Koray tells her to put it back.
Alev is summoned by Hilmi Yilmaz. She realizes that he is planning another attack on Ömer on this trip. She tries to prevent the trip. Ömer will not hear about it. She then goes to Mert and convinces him to go with them. Ömer goes to Zehra one more time. She is acting stubborn. He gives up and goes. She is annoyed and collects her sketching stuff and goes in from the veranda. In her bag she finds Ömer's note apologizing again.
Outside Ömer puts his case in the car. Alev and Mert comes out. Ömer is happy to see Mert accompany them. He puts Alev's case in and closes the trunk but Mert says Zehra is here and Ömer is elated to see her coming out with her suitcase. He goes and gets her case and they all get in the car.
Cevriye comes in upset from the benefit. She feels that she did not fit in well and has probably embarrassed Müzeyyen as well. Ayşe is concerned and wants to make her happy. Nihat receives a call from the police telling him that the security guard was found dead in the sea. He calls Ömer and tells him. He receives the call as they are driving and tells Mert. Alev texts Hilmi Yilmaz that she, Ömer and Mert are driving to Avanta. A truck is driving at them and Zehra tells Ömer to be careful. The truck is speeding toward them fast.
