Ömer steps forward, takes Zehra's hand in his and tells Bahşende Zehra is his wife and the lady of the house. Bahşende is surprised and apologizes reluctantly. Ömer says had you come to the wedding, you'd have known. She says I could not come. As you know. Apparently, she did not get along with Müzeyyen. Ömer is very cold and unimpressed with her. He says you should have informed us before coming.

Ömer is in the study thinking why his grandmother has returned after all these years. He has no patience with family members who have left them behind. Zehra comes in and says she realizes the presence of his grandma has upset him and wonders if he would like to talk about it. He asks ironically what makes her think he would talk to HER about it. Zehra stands there as if she has been hit with a cold bucket of water.

Bahşende wants to see Asya. Cevriye comes and greets the matriarch but she is a cold and physically intimidating woman, the exact opposite of Cevriye. Her cold and hard appearance scares Asya off and she hides behind Cevriye. Bahşende is not impressed that Cevriye is living with the family. She is not impressed with Zehra either.

Zehra goes to tell Ömer that dinner is ready. He says he will not join them and that they should go ahead. Zehra is about to leave when she returns and sits to talk. She tells him, whatever it is in the past between you and your grandma is your business, but it is not becoming for you to hide in your study like a child. You are the head of this family, and your place is at that table. It is also not fair to the other members of the family like Ayşe, Asya and Nihat (leaving herself out) to be punished like this because of whatever it is between you and your grandma. She goes on to say you know better…when he stops her saying she knows nothing. Zehra becomes silent and leaves.

They are going to the table when Bahşende asks her if Ömer is coming. Zehra mumbles that he is in the study and… when Ömer walks in and joins them. He pulls the chair for Zehra and they sit at the table and eat together. Zehra is very pleased to have him by her side.

Ayşe goes to Ömer in the study and thanks him for being there for him at all times (probably reflecting on how probably Nihat is not there for her anymore). She is also concerned that the presence of Bahşende unsettles Ömer and wants him to let go of the past. He assures her that everything will be fine.

In the bedroom Zehra thanks Ömer for going to the dinner table. The powers get cut off and she is scared and brings out the soft side of Ömer holding out to him and turning on the candles.

Sabah takes the keys for Kerem. Kerem asks her to stay the night as it is going to be a cold night. She stays. In the morning Teo sees her leave the house and thinks they are going together. He goes in and asks if he and Sabah are living together. Kerem tells him Sabah is not that kind of a girl and that they are friends.

Nihat asks Selin to investigate Müge and finds that she has a police record. He goes to her and tells her if she does not leave, he will expose her. She begs for another day to say goodbye to Asya and her job. Nihat gives her that.

Officer Murat wants to speak to Zehra about Piton. Ömer says they will meet him at the office. Zehra comes into the bedroom. Ömer notices how nice she looks in her beautiful flower-patterned dress and wonders if she is going anywhere. She says she has no plans. She brings the bandage kit and changes the dressing on his cut. She feels disappointed that he did not notice her outfit. She goes out into the living room. Bahşende begins implicit criticism of her as the lady of the house and her inability to get everyone at the breakfast table on time. Ömer walks in, takes her hand in his and tells her that they should leave.

At the office Ömer tells Zehra that she needs to be careful what she tells the police. Zehra is upset that he still suspects her of something. She says defiantly that she does not need to fear anything because she has done nothing wrong. She tells Murat how they threatened her and how she feared for Ömer's life as well as the whole Kervancioglu family including Asya. He leaves once the interview is done.

Müge comes out into the yard and gets Asya to play hide and seek. She then gets her in the cellar and locks the door on her.
