He is informed that Ömer is still alive and Mert is in the chief's office. He says I cannot risk my own son's life. Send the guy in. Mert is about to confess whenthey bring in another guy who confesses to the murder and planting the gun in Ömer's car. Mert is elated.
Cevria snaps at Alev for blurting things out as they take care of Müzeyyen on the sofa. Alev shouts that she did not do it on purpose. Zehra tries to calm everyone. Müzeyyen tells them to keep it from Ayşe. Ayşe arrives and Zehra goes to get water from the kitchen. Ayşe asks them to be storng for Zehra and Alev is annoyed saying that is not a priority as we are just as upset.
Salim is going to delay in paying Koray so again he has a problem paying back the loan. Salim wants to talk to him about buying the supplies and Shukran arrives. He sneaks out and goes to Yasemin.
In the cell the guy attacks Ömer but he sees it coming and they entangle. He tries to find out who sent him but the guard comes and they separate. They bring in the new guy and take Ömer out. Mert picks him up and they go home. Mert tells him there might not be a marriage between you and Zehra but her concern for you seems genuine. You are a lucky man. He also says how she has been taking care of the family like a rock. Ömer is moved.
Zehra is crying in the verandah. Ömer arrives and she notices it from behind. She turns and runs to him and tells him that she knew they would release him and that if they had held him there, she would never leave Ayşe or the family. Mert and Ayşe and Müzeyyen come one by one and Ömer embraces his sister and step mom with deep affection but turns his face to Zehra.
Later Zehra fixes herself up for Ömer and then feels maybe she is overdoing it. Ömer comes in and asks her to sit with him. He thanks her for being there for the family and for all she has done for Ayşe.
At night Zehra wants to change Ömer's bedding because she has apparently slept on his side of the bed last night and does not want him to notice it. He arrives and stops her and adds that it smells nice and needs no changing. They go to bed and he suggests that they have breakfast together outside in the morning. She agrees.
Shukran talks with Salim and then goes back and sees Yasemin and Koray all upset at the door and Mehtap walking away. She has just told them that if they don't pay up, they'll be in trouble. They tell Shukran what has happened with the IOUs. She tells them no to worry. She tells them to go and explain everything to Salim and never to keep things from him. They go together and Salim reproaches them for hiding things from him and also using loan sharks.
In the morning, Alev goes into Ömer's office and indirectly draws his attention to the file named Mert/Zehra on Mert's laptop. Ömer sees it and remembers all the strange behaviour he had witnessed from Zehra and Mert and her secrecy and gets upset again. When Zehra comes to ask about the breakfast, he says curtly that he has work and cannot go. Mert sees Zehra and realizes that Ömer has canceled the breakfast. He says go get him to come to the living room and let us show him the video. She goes and he refuses. She says but Mert is waiting; it is a surprise. It is not nice if you do not come. Ömer says don't worry he knows there is nothing between us. Zehra is shocked by the statement and leaves. Ömer feels bad about his own behaviour and follows her.
Shukran asks Leila to lend her some money so she can pay Koray's IOUs. She goes to Mehtap and pays for the IOUs and takes them from her and reproaches her for the way she has treated Koray and Yasemin. She then goes to Salim and tells him to go easy on the children.
Ömer goes into the room and sees Zehra outside. He then gets a call from Hilmi Yilmaz's goon saying soon one of his loved ones will suffer. They then send him a photo of Zehra on the verandah. He looks from the window onto the veranda and clearly the photo has been taken right there.
