Ayşe, Zehra and Bahşende join forces to cover the situation. Ömer comes. He has not heard anything.

Salim takes Halit's wallet to Aysil at her bakery. She thanks him and tells him a bit about her life. Bahşende in front of Ömer congratulates Zehra on the new deal and reminds her of her limitations in terms of lack of university training. Ömer says she has all the necessary skills so she need not worry. Ömer wants to take Zehra out to dinner. She says Hediye has worked hard on dinner it would not be nice. Maybe another day!

Özge is being unusually nice at the office; buying cookies and a present for Koray. Ayşe tells Zehra she will continue seeing her mother and won't separate from her ever again. Bahşende calls Zehra again. In her room she tells her that Zehra is opening the doors to hell. She says that she knows Jülide and she is an evil woman. She forbids Zehra to see her again. She says I cannot promise that. Nihat tells Ayşe that it is better to tell Ömer sooner than later. Ayşe is anxious.

Mehmet Bey comes to visit Zehra with more flowers. Ömer is annoyed. Zehra goes to the living room. Ayşe gets Mehmet Bey to stay for dinner. Ömer is annoyed by his every word. Kerem and Sabah go to dinner finally. Mehmet Bey tells the story of how his basketball dreams were shattered by the entry of a tall basketball player in his high school years. Ömer asks about the year and school and reveals that he was the tall player. Ayşe remembers how his brother's team won the cup that year. And Zehra says that she is in no way surprised because Ömer does anything that he puts his hand to perfectly. Mehmet Bey wants to leave!

In bed Ayşe tells Nihat that she took Asya to meet her mom and she is very happy. He suggests that she tell Ömer as soon as possible. Ömer goes to Zehra in the bedroom. She is wearing nighties from her dowry. He thanks her for saying such nice words about him earlier. She says I just stated my true feelings. He holds her face in his hands and tells her that he never tires of telling her how he appreciates her existence in his life. He approaches her lips with his. Will this be the first kiss? She appears ready. At the last moment he diverts to her forehead. He says goodnight and leaves. Her heart is fluttering. She touches her face longingly. They think about each other while in bed.

In the morning Ömer once more goes to the bedroom. She's not there. He looks for her in the bathroom. Zehra comes in with coffee for them both. She is startled when he comes out of the bathroom. Ömer wants to take Zehra out alone. She says Ayşe has invited Mehmet Bey for breakfast. Ömer is annoyed and talking about Mehmet to himself says if you were going to come for breakfast you might as well have stayed the night!! He says he can't stay; Ayşe should not have invited him without consulting them and so on…Zehra hushes.

Kerem and Sabah have breakfast happily in the store. Canan comes and gets some. Idil comes to talk. Salim buys breakfast from Aysil.

Ömer goes to his study annoyed with the prospect of seeing Mehmet Bey again. Nihat comes and notes Ömer's annoyance with Mehmet's presence. Ayşe decides she is going to tell Ömer about their mom. Ömer is in a heated debate with himself about the "insolence" of Mehmet Bey when Ayşe comes in. She says she has to talk to him about something. He thinks it is about Mehmet's invitation and says he knows about it. Ayşe says no, it is about something important. She sits but hesitates.
