Ömer tries to explain but Zehra goes out. Outside Alev sees her and gives her Ömer's phone saying he had forgotten it at the office. Then she tells Zehra to get used to being number two on Ömer's list. Zehra is very upset. Ömer changes and looks for Zehra. Cevria sees him in the living room. Alev is there. Alev says thank you for not leaving me tonight. Cevria is curious. Ömer says you had passed out; anyone would have done the same; don't make a big deal of it and continues looking for Zehra. Alev says I gave your phone to Zehra. Cevria realizes the dinner has been canceled and the reason for it.

Salim and Yasemin are at home. The door bell rings and they wonder who has come so late. It is Zehra. She goes in saying she missed them. Salim realizes she is upset.

Ömer cannot find Zehra. He sees his phone on the dresser. Under it there is a note saying; you had forgotten it at the office; Alev gave it. He calls Zehra. She says I am home. He is delighted and says where he can't find her anywhere. She says in my own home. He melts. She says I will stay here tonight.

Ömer goes to her. Alev looks for Ömer. Cevria says it is spring and the air of love just sends lovers into their own nooks and crannies; so you can't find them. Alev is miffed and leaves. Ömer texts her that he is at the door. She goes out to throw the garbage and meets him. He asks her to return with him. He says he did not want this to happen but when Alev passed out and then he had left his phone in the office and could not call her. She is upset. She refuses to go although he looks at her with earnest ruefulness. She goes to her door and returns as if she is going to go with him. Salim calls her and she turns and goes in. Ömer leaves disappointed.

Salim goes in the bedroom and Zehra pretends to be asleep. He caresses her and begs her forgiveness for the suffering she has to go through because of her family's debts working at this place. Zehra cries. She gets up and wants to call Ömer but changes her mind. She remembers their moments of closeness and how he embraced her in the hospital. She goes to sleep with her phone in hand.

Ömer wants to send an apology but thinks she might be asleep and changes his mind. Ayşe comes in and tells him Zehra was very excited about this date as if it were her first. She must have really been upset. He says she is staying with Leyla tonight. Ömer sees the necklace he had bought her on the dresser. He remembers the moments he had her close to him and how she embraced him when she had thought him dead. He is fraustrated.

In the morning Zehra gets up to his photo on her phone. Yasemin and Salim are gone. She sits to have breakfast. Leyla comes to visit. She tells Leyla she is upset not because he did not go but because he did not call to let her know.Leyla says notice that your concerns are now changing. It is not that he does not leave you alone. It is more about him not being there and not calling you. Zehra does not want to acknowledge this. Ömer calls. She says she will be back soon. He is about to apologize but she hangs up.

Mehtap visits Salim and Koray and she is upset that they are working away happily and tells Betton that they have to make sure their work does not proceed well or they might start making payments on time and get rid of their loan.

Zehra returns and Ömer wants to talk to her but she keeps cutting him off and leaving. She goes to the kitchen. Cevria goes to her and makes coffee and warns her against prolonging any argument with her husband and that there could be "wolves and jackals" around ready to pounce on their happiness. She makes coffee and gives it to Zehra to take for Ömer. Zehra takes it to him saying Cevria made her take it. Ömer again tries to apologize and she says it is good that the dinner was cancelled. We have to constantly pretend while we are at home; why should we go through that torture outside as well. She leaves. Ömer says so you don't want to go out. He calls Nihat and tells him to take everyone out to dinner tonight. Nihat calls Ayşe and tells her to tell everyone. Ömer goes to Hediye and asks for a favour.

He goes into the bedroom. Zehra is sleeping with her outside clothes. He leaves. She gets up and sees that she has slept for long. She goes out and into the living room. Ömer is lighting candles on a nice dinner table set for two. She goes there and tells him she is not hungry. He says please sit and let us talk and pulls a chair for her. She refuses and says just talk. After all I am just a contract worker and there is no need to go to such ends just to talk to me. She then leaves without listening. Ömer is frustrated. Mert comes and asks what's going on and if they had a fight with Zehra. Ömer says nothing. All of this is nothing. They are not really husband and wife. Mert is stunned.
