At the last minute Ömer swerves and gets out of the way. He stops the car to gather himself. He then drives to the waterfront. He remembers the sweet moments of the wedding night and then remembers the pulling off of the necklace. He then remembers the many times Zehra kept asking him what was wrong and he refused to talk. He remembers how she told him one day he would regret his doings. He screams into the sea with deep ruefulness: "Zehra!"
In the bedroom, Zehra begins to pack her suitcase. She begins to remember the hurtful moments of degradation by Ömer and cannot handle her wounded feelings. She tries to remember the good moments as well, but the bad ones keep rushing into her mind. Zehra feels her only way to get rid of the pain is to leave this bedroom and this House.
Kerem refuses to discuss his feelings with Canan. Sabah gets a call from a large business to whom she and Kerem had offered a business pitch. They are interested in meeting with then. She shares the great news with Canan and Kerem.
Sabah calls Zehra to share the news and Zehra tells her that she is separating from Ömer. Sabah is shocked and asks her not to rush into anything and give their love a chance. Zehra says I have made my decision.
Bahşende asks Zehra to join her in an event where she would like to introduce her to some of her social set. Ayşe says they have a business meeting with Zehra so she cannot go that day. She then gets Zehra to bring some of her sketches and show Bahşende. The matriarch is impressed by Zehra's skill.
On the pier, Ömer sits desolately still thinking about his situation. He calls his lawyer and tells him he will, under no circumstances, agree to a divorce.
Zehra gets a call from her dad and goes outside to talk. Ömer arrives and goes to her. He tells her that she once told him never to let go of her hand. He will never let he go. Zehra tells him Bahşende is looking from the window. Ömer tells her that he does not care who is looking. These are his true feelings. Zehra goes back into the bedroom. She is stirred by Ömer's touch but tries to snap out of it. She asks the heavens for strength to leave Ömer because she is clearly aware how much she loves him.
Nihat realizes he does not have the CD and tells everyone in the office to look for it.
Ayşe goes to Ömer in the study and tells him about her business plans with Zehra. Ömer tells him that they could use the Kervancioglu offices for their space and also take advantage of some of their staff. He asks Ayşe however not to tell Zehra that it was his idea. Nihat comes in. Ayşe wonders why Ömer does not want her to tell Zehra the truth. Nihat realizes Ömer's hesitation and says he probably does not want his wife to feel he wants to hover over her all the time. Ayşe accepts.
In the living room Cevriye tells Zehra that Ayşe has been talking with Ömer for a long time. Zehra thinks Ömer is probably telling her about the divorce. She becomes jittery. Ayşe goes into the living room and says she has something important to discuss with Zehra and wants everyone to hear. Zehra thinks is it about the divorce and becomes uncomfortable. Ayşe then says she has decided hwo she and Zehra can work together. Zehra is surprised. Ayşe tells her about working from the Kervancioglu Holding premises. Bahşende is not too happy about this partnership. Zehra tells Ayşe that she is not ready yet. Ayşe lets go but is determined to pursue it later. Ömer listens to the conversation without being seen and then goes back to the study.
Kerem tells Koray that he is in love with Sabah, but he does not want to tell her because if she does not feel that way, then he might lose her friendship as well. Koray tells him he should start with little nice gestures such as little gifts and then reveal his feelings for him.
Ömer goes into the bedroom and sees Zehra's suitcase on the the bed. He wonders how much she hates her that she is in such a rush to leave. He says one more time that he will not agree to the divorce. She says you are being a bully. He says defiantly, no, I am only in love with you. She asks if he put ideas in Ayşe's head. He says she asked for support and I agreed. She accepts that it could have been Ayşe's idea but assures him that such things would not keep her from her decision. He says neither will I be dissuaded from my decision. They tell each other: "We'll see!" He takes his pillow to leave the room. She says sodftly you can sleep in your bed; you did not sleep last night either. He says: "it's not necessary!" and leaves.
In the morning Asya goes into her parents' room and finds the CD on the floor. She takes it thinking it may be a cartoon CD.

In the morning Ömer and Zehra run into each other at the bedroom door. He says we cannot leave each other's orbit; we are drawn to each with a great magnetic force. She says I do not want to destroy myself like a butterfly drawn to light. Her phone rings. Her lawyer says Ömer will not agree to a divorce, so this can prolong matters. She is angry with him. She says he has killed their love and has to accept it. He says he will never agree to a divorce. She tells him she will go and tell her dad right away. He grabs her arm to stop her.
