Ömer turns around and snaps at him asking who sent him and dares him to pull the trigger to his face rather than the back of his head. Mert arrives and runs to them. Ömer uses the distraction to entangle with the guy. The guy releases himself and runs into a car and escapes. Mert is concerned that it is his father's doing. Ömer says this has nothing to do with him. Mert is surprised but lets it go.
In the office Ömer talks with Nihat and tells him to dig into the security guy's file and also check the other personnel. They keep their suspicions from Mert.

He tells his driver to kill the guy.
Ömer calls Zehra. She does not answer. He is worried, but she calls right back. She says I was with my dad and could not answer. She says she is outside. He tells her to go straight home. He gets antsy with Zehra's momentary hesitation and repeats; did you hear me? She says yes, I did. Mert and Demir come into Ömer's office and Demir says that he will go to the US for the business. He then goes to his office and gathers his things. Leyla comes in a bit agitated and when she realizes it is only for two weeks, she is sort of relieved. But again, she gives no direct hope to Demir and he remains disappointed.
Hilmi Yilmaz calls Alev and asks when Ömer's flight is. She gives the information. He then calls and makes arrangements to sabotage the flight.

Mehtap goes to meet her admirer. An old man comes to her with a bunch of flowers. She is mad and throws the flowers. Beton has given money to the man to do this for him and watches the exchange from behind the tree.
At home Zehra sees Ömer's shirts on the bed and is fondly reminded of sewing on his button and sticking him with the needle. Hediye comes to put them away and she says I will do it and takes the shirts to the closet. She then cannot find her wedding band and keeps looking in her bag. She sees the assignment paper she had done for Mert and remembers Ömer at the session talking about falling in love with her and smiles. She continues to look when Ömer arrives and asks what she has lost. She hides her hands behind her and refuses to bring them forward however much he asks and tries to get at them. Ömer briefly reaches for her hands and finally let's go. She goes into the bathroom. Ömer sees the paper in her bag and remembers Zehra talking about why she fell in love with him and smiles too. She comes out finally and she has a band aid on her finger. He shows concerns. She says it is nothing.
Yasemin brings home work. She has to put nick nacks together for weddings and parties. Şükran sees it and is proud of her for being hard working but tells her to let her father know for sure.

Zehra calls Leyla and asks her to go look for the band and she is worried that her father might find it. Leyla goes but cannot find it.
Asya comes and tells Ayşe and Nihat that Cevriye is leaving. They all go to stop her but she has packed her bags and called a car. Alev stands there gloating. Ömer and Zehra come out. Ömer looks at Alev and goes down with Zehra. Cevriye takes leave from everyone and stretches her hand out to Ömer. Ömer tells them to take out the suitcase and tells Cevriye that this is her house and she cannot go anywhere, and everyone will be very upset if she left. She is dumbfounded and Nihat brings back her case and tells Alev on the way that his aunt is staying! Alev is annoyed.
Zehra is in the study talking with Leyla on the phone and Ömer comes in. Alev follows him and gives him her phone saying Kurşat wants to talk to him from Cyprus. He begins talking. Alev tells Zehra she is surprised she is not coming; she has not left Ömer alone since they got married. Zehra says I have been doing what I have to do. She says Ahh! So you say it is just a duty to you! Zehra is silent. Ömer's call is over and Alev leaves. Zehra asks how long he'll be away. Ömer says two days and then asks if she wants to go, too. She says, should I? He says well as my wife you certainly can come. She says no you go. It is work and I am also busy with my sketches. They leave it at that.
Nihat goes to Cevriye to find out what was wrong, and he sees the nasty note and is upset with Alev.
Ömer is packing his case with Zehra. He says Hediye used to do this perfectly. Zehra says but now I am here so I will do it. He goes looking for his black belt. She tells him exactly where it is and it impresses him as he finds it right away. In the morning Zehra is packing everything nicely and Ömer comes and takes her hand and says this needs changing and takes the band aid off and sees there is not cut. He says where is your wedding band. She says I wanted to tell you, I didn't want to hide it. I think I have dropped it at our house in Mahaleh. I will go and get it today. Ömer says now you want to go to Mahaleh. Why don't you end these tricks of yours? She says Tricks? How can you be so mean? I am happy you are going away so I won't have to see your face for a couple of days. He is frozen by this statement for a moment but leaves.
In the office Ömer again discusses the personnel matter with Nihat and precautions they need to take in view of the Hilmi Yilmaz danger. He then remembers Zehra's last words and wants to call her but stops himself. Zehra goes to Mahaleh and finds her band. She takes it and goes back. Alev is about to leave for the airport and Hilmi Yilmaz calls her and tells her to meet him assuring her that she won't miss her flight.
Zehra is carrying a tray with tea and sweets to her room. Her phone rings. She picks it up and talks. Mert is driving and crying and tells her that Ömer's plane has crashed. The tray drops from her hands as she stumbles in shock.
