Alya refuses to accept the role of the outcast. She manages to return to the mansion and put Sadakat in her place, making it clear she will no longer endure everything in silence. She intends to prove not only with words, but with actions, that she will be a rightful mistress in the Albora house. Sadakat goes to visit Cihan in prison with her children and does not want to take Alya with her, but Alya still finds a way to see Cihan.
In prison, Cihan keeps pressing Ecmel and Halis, but both deny any involvement. Halis admits only one thing: he let Boran’s name slip while drinking with some men, and the information could have spread further from there. Cihan stays composed, refusing to let emotions knock him off course.
While Cihan is behind bars, someone tries to kill him. After the attempt, one of the inmates tells him: Boran’s killer is Halis.
While Cihan fights for the truth, a new noose tightens around Kaya and Zerrin. After an argument with Demir’s father, Zerrin feels unwell. Demir, meanwhile, turns the city against Kaya, and Cihan tells his brother to keep himself under control, so Demir has no reason to strike even harder.
Demir’s father takes Zerrin and drives her to her own father’s house, stating outright to her mother and to Şahin that Zerrin is pregnant by Kaya. But Kaya hears something else: he learns that the child Zerrin is carrying is not his. What he hears shocks him — and becomes the last drop that sets new events in motion.
Nare visits Özkan, and Fikriye, whom she runs into at the hospital, shares her suspicions about Mine’s pregnancy. While the family is cracking at the seams, the opposite begins to happen between Alya and Cihan: despite the pressure, warmth appears, their bond grows stronger, and with each day they draw closer.
Cihan gets out of prison with a clear plan: to wait for Halis to be released and take him to Syria to force the full truth out of him. But the plan collapses. Halis slips past Cihan’s men. They start looking for him, they find him… but Fikriye reaches him first. Will Cihan make it to Halis in time and force him to reveal the truth about Boran’s murder, if Fikriye is the first person standing in front of him?
