Bahşende says Zehra will harm this family, like your mother did. They are from the same mettle. Ömer says I trust Zehra and am sure she will never harm this family. Bahşende leaves, dropping her broach in the study.

Zehra goes to Ömer and tells him that she has spoken with Ayşe. She is having a hard time but Zehra thinks that it would do her good if Ömer spoke to her as well. Ömer tells her that he will talk to her if Zehra thinks it would help.

Ayşe is looking at a photo of her childhood. it is a photo of their mom holding a five or six-year-old Ömer and Ayşe. Her mother's face is effaced. Asya sees the photo. Ayşe does not want her daughter to suffer the losses she and Ömer had to suffer in childhood. Ömer comes and notices the photo and tells her to let go of the past. She says I have reconciled with it and remember the good days. You need to forgive our mother too. He says I can never forgive a woman who leaves her two tots for the sake of money. Pain reflects from Ömer's tearful eyes when he hugs Ayşe.

Zehra has found the broach on the floor and takes it to Bahşende and asks if it is hers. She takes it and thanks her saying it is a family heirloom. Zehra asks if she needs anything. Bahşende snaps at her saying why she keeps asking her what a servant should be asking. Then she again begins talking about the etiquette of behaviour as a proper Kervancioglu. Ömer hears it and comes to Zehra's rescue and asks her to go out for a short walk with her and it is too stuffy in there. They go out. He asks Zehra not to let his grandma bother her adding that she is no different than a stranger to him. Zehra says that she tries to handle her because after all she is a senior member of the family. Ömer especially cuddles her when he notices his grandma looking from the window.

Later Zehra goes to Ayşe and sees the photo and listens to how Ömer was hurt when his mother left and how he has destroyed all reminders of her in the House.

In the living room, Bahşende snaps at Hediye for the quality of the coffee she has made. Hediye goes to replace it. Zehra gets up and says she can make it. Bahşende gets angry saying it is not your place to make coffee for me. She says everyone in this House is a unique member of this big family and should be afforded their own special respect. Then she adds as the lady of this House, I want to make your coffee with my own hands to welcome you to the House. She goes to the kitchen and consoles Hediye who has been brought to tears by Bahşende. Hediye reveals that she used to especially treat Ömer's mother in this manner. She also expresses her disbelief that a mother so dedicated as that of Ömer and Ayşe would just pick up and leave for no reason.

Sacit comes to see Ömer again to remind him of the offer of partnership he had given him. While he is waiting for Ömer in his office, Piton calls Sacid and says he needs papers to get out of the country. Sacid tries to cover it up and tells Piton never to call him again. Ömer tells Sacid cordially that he will go over the offer again and he leaves.

Sabah goes to Salim's for a meal as Hamiyyet and Şükran want to make sure she is not left alone.

At night, Zehra tells Ömer that Ayşe will be fine. She is a strong woman and most important she is a responsible and good mother and will give deep consideration to that to recover from this situation. Zehra then asks about Ömer's mother. Ömer snaps asking why she is asking that. She apologizes and says she will not ask again.

In the morning Zehra helps Ömer with his cufflinks. Asya comes and wants to draw with Zehra. Ömer leaves them together. Asya says she wants to draw the photo of her mother and uncle and takes out their photo with the effaced mother. Zehra is surprised. She says let's leave it for after breakfast. They go and Asya drops the photo. Later Zehra comes back and sees the photo on the floor. She picks it up and Ömer arrives to see it.
