The court hearing, where Cihan speaks about his love for his wife, ends with Alya still unable to get a divorce. She is furious. When she tries to talk to Cihan afterward, he shuts it down, saying he already said everything he wanted in court. Alya reminds him that he lied to the judge, and it only deepens her anger and the feeling that she has hit a dead end.
Nare, realizing that Zerrin is effectively sacrificing herself for her brother, decides not to tell anyone the real reasons behind this marriage, so that Şahin can get out as soon as possible. Meanwhile, Cihan goes to Fidan and asks her not to marry Zerrin off to Demir, because Zerrin and Kaya love each other. But Zerrin’s mother refuses.
Back at the mansion, Cihan gives orders to replace the bed in Alya’s room so she can sleep properly. The staff carries out the order, but it only irritates Alya: to her, it does not look like care, but interference and yet another decision made for her. Sadakat, watching her son closely, tells him that his expression frightened her, because she could read jealousy on his face. Cihan is jealous of Alya.
That evening, Uğur calls Cihan and says Mine has drunk too much and is not herself. Cihan comes and takes her away, and Uğur immediately uses the moment to inform Alya as well, describing what happened in his own way. Alya goes to Mine’s house, but what she sees there is completely different. Cihan leaves Alya alone with Mine and rushes off to deal with Uğur for the lie he fed Alya. Left one-on-one with Mine, Alya tries to bring her back to her senses, but Mine hits her with words that land like a blow: according to Mine, in Cihan’s heart there is only Meryem.
Zerrin and Kaya reach their breaking point. Zerrin is brought a wedding dress, but she says all those efforts were wasted and she is not going to wear it. Yet the wedding still cannot be stopped. Kaya cannot fight Zerrin’s decision, because he does not know what sacrifice lies behind it. Cihan comes to the marriage registration hoping to stop Zerrin, but when he fails, he takes his brother away from there. At home, Alya gives Kaya a calming injection to help him come back to himself.
Şahin is released and learns that Zerrin has married Demir. He goes to take his sister, but Zerrin refuses to leave, and Demir makes it clear that no one can simply show up and take his wife away. When Kaya comes to himself, he forgives Nare, understanding the price of her decision. Watching what Kaya is going through, Alya says he is lucky to have a brother like Cihan, and that no matter how hard it is now, things can still be put right.
Nare moves back into the mansion because Cihan ends up in a conflict with her husband. Alya then takes a step that changes how she sees Cihan: she goes down to his room in the basement. And when she walks in, she discovers a major secret Cihan has been hiding.
What exactly did Alya see in Cihan’s basement room, and why is it called a “major secret”? And how will Zerrin and Demir act now that Şahin is free, while Kaya already knows what price the woman he loves paid to save her brother?
