Zehra explains that Jülide appeared on the day of the court. Ömer is not happy to find out what was the reason for Zehra's sudden change of heart at the court. Zehra goes on to say that she was then curious to hear what Jülide had to say and then Jülide began to seem very real and truthful to her. Like a mother who has suffered for having lost her children. So Zehra explains that she talked Ayşe into seeing her. Ömer is silent. Zehra wants to touch him but he gets up and steps back holding out his shaking hand as he had done to Jülide. Zehra leaves under the weight of sadness. She goes to Ayşe and tells her. Ayşe calms her and takes her to the study to talk to Ömer but he is gone. Nihat tells them that Ömer just left. Zehra calls Ömer but he does not answer. Ayşe, Nihat and Asya take leave at the door. Bahşende tells Zehra she is the creator of this sad picture. Zehra is very upset and in her room as she sweats over the affair, Hediye consoles her.
Sabah tells Kerem she loves him. Kerem and Sabah go to Aysil's pastry shop and have a nice date. Kerem invites Koray and Canan to announce they are going out together.
Ipek tells Koray she has done nothing wrong. She cries not knowing how to prove her innocence. Koray begins deep investigation as he feels Ipek is genuine.
Hamiyyet and Şükran go and visit Aysil. They apologize and confirm their deep friendship. At home, Salim tells them off for pushing the marriage issue and causing problems for Aysil.
Ömer drives to the waterfront wondering why Zehra has done this. He remembers how she had asked for a divorce and then changed her mind. Nihat calls him saying they have lost the deal. Ömer goes to the office. Nihat goes to him. He snaps at Nihat but apologizes after. Nihat leaves and Ayşe goes to talk to Ömer. She tells him how indebted she is to him but that each person has his or her own feelings and ideas about life and can't be kept in a golden cage. She begs him not to blame Zehra for anything as she has entered their lives like an angel and stood by him despite all the horrid things he has done to her and continues to love him. Ömer remains silent. He drives home still upset. Zehra cries herself to sleep in bed. Ömer goes to his room, takes off his jacket and tie. Later he goes into their bedroom and sits at the edge of Zehra's side watching her sleep all night. In the morning she wakes up and sees him. She ges up and begs him not be angry with her and that she only wanted to make everything better and did not realize how things got this far. He gets up and she approaches him and asks him to forgive her. He says I won't forgive you! I won't forgive you because there is nothing to forgive. You are the most blameless individual in this story!!
