Alya learns that Cihan and Mine had a relationship. She is furious that everyone hid it from her, and she leaves the award evening behind, getting behind the wheel and driving off. Cihan rushes after her and blocks her way. He tries to explain that he had a life before her and that he and Mine are already over, but it does nothing to calm Alya down. They return to the mansion and keep fighting.
Meanwhile, Nare faces something far worse. Özkan comes home drunk and attempts to rape her.
Kaya proposes to Zerrin and gives her a ring. On their way to meet the registrar, they are caught by Şahin and Sedat, along with Sedat’s father and their men. Soon Alya and Cihan arrive as well.
The confrontation spirals out of control. Alya tries to stop the clash, but Sedat takes her hostage. Cihan manages to save Alya quickly, but then tragedy strikes: Şahin gets into a fight with Sedat’s armed father, and a shot is fired. Sedat’s father is killed. The police arrest Şahin, and Zerrin is taken back home. Demir, who was at the scene, manages to record what happened on his phone.
After that, the tension inside the family only grows. Kaya clashes with Cihan and reminds him of an old love named Meryem: back then, Cihan chose the family over the woman he loved. The brothers’ fight ends with Cihan losing control and hitting his younger brother. The conflict with Alya doesn’t stop either. Alya feels like she has become an obstacle between Cihan and Mine, and that pushes her toward a decision that would have seemed impossible not long ago.
Sadakat speaks to Alya and offers an option that sounds like an “exit without war”: divorce Cihan, move into another mansion Sadakat will provide, and in return Sadakat promises not to interfere with Alya seeing her son. Alya accepts the offer and chooses divorce.
Will Cihan be able to stop Alya when she has already chosen to leave? What will happen to Şahin after his arrest?
