Cihan asks Mine to leave Deniz’s circumcision celebration, and she does. Right after that, Mine calls the doctor who confirmed her pregnancy and asks him not to tell Cihan. Before she shares the “happy” news, she wants to be sure she is carrying a boy, an heir for Cihan.
Uğur shows up at Mine’s house asking for temporary shelter, somewhere he can hide from Cihan’s men who are searching for him everywhere. He asks Mine to help him get out of the country and promises, in return, to reveal a major secret about Cihan.
After the celebration, Cihan, Alya, and Deniz take a family photo. Deniz looks genuinely happy, because his family is finally around him again. But the calm does not last. Cihan and Alya go to a village to hand out gifts, and there they run into people who laugh at the “free” way Alya’s mother lives.
When they return to the mansion, Sadakat starts a scandal, and the tension in the house tightens even further. She witnesses a scene that frightens her, but one look from Cihan makes it clear she should not interfere.
Meanwhile, Özkan goes to Demir to ask for help with his divorce case against Nare. Demir agrees. When Şahin arrives there as well, a conflict flares up between them, and Kaya is the one who manages to calm it down. Nare grows more and more exhausted and realizes she needs the divorce as soon as possible, or she will never be able to stop Şahin and break out of this closed circle.
Fikriye unexpectedly tells Alya a brutal truth about herself. Protecting Alya, she once killed a dangerous man and served nine years for it. He had a family and children, and that is why Fikriye once took money from Karolina.
Noticing Fikriye’s suspicious behavior, Alya begins to follow her, trying to understand what she is planning. And she is right to. Fikriye goes to the prison and meets the Albora family’s sworn enemy. It turns out they have known each other for a long time, opening a new line of threat for the family.
Uğur ends up in Demir’s hands, and his promise to Mine to reveal Cihan’s secret may put Mine at risk as well.
The day of Nare’s divorce hearing arrives. Kaya goes with her to support her. But the court does not give Nare the freedom she wants: because of Sadakat’s testimony, Nare is not granted a divorce from Özkan.
Outside the courthouse, a fight breaks out between Şahin and Özkan, one that could end with death for one and prison for the other. The pressure pushes Nare to a desperate step. Unable to withstand her mother’s pressure and everything closing in around her, Nare makes a shocking move in full view of everyone.
