Mehtap says you are mistaken. I don't know what you think. Ömer says you set this dirty trap. She denies it and wants to go. He presses her against the wall and warns her against picking a fight with him. He leaves her wondering how he found out. She is panicking. Ömer finally realizes how right Zehra was and blames himself for falling in the trap. He gets in the car and goes home.

Hilmi Yilmaz calls Alev and tells her you must give me minute by minute report of Mert. She tells him he is in the office. He calls Mert and says why are you in Istanbul and I hear the news from others. He says come let's talk before you start a business with Ömer. Mert says I have nothing to talk to you about and never call me again.

Ömer arrives home. Zehra is passing the door and he asks to talk to her. She refuses. Mert comes and she goes into the living room. Ömer and Mert follow her. Ömer asks about Zehra's meeting. He asks did you reach an agreement. She says yes now I have a job. He congratulates her and so does Mert. Mert goes to get coffee for all. Ömer says Mert notices there is something between us and he is very clever about these things. If he becomes suspicious…She says do something that he does not get suspicious. He says if you look at me like that, and makes an angry face, it will be difficult. Mert comes and Zehra leaves.

Mehtap is scared that Ömer is going to send the police for her. A policeman comes to find a house, Mehtap almost gives herself away.

Cevriye learns that Mert knows about life coaching. She wants to get some coaching from him. He agrees.

Ömer goes into the room. Zehra is working and as soon as he comes, she gets up to go. He says if you want to work you can leave the light on. Zehra says, I want to sleep and gets the pillow to go out. Ömer says wait, you stay, I will go. You were right, I should have listened to you from the beginning. I don't know how I believed it, I don't know. For this I am mad at myself. He leaves as he reaches the door frame, Zehra says stay. He freezes and comes back. We don't want Ayşe to get upset, Zehra adds. In the morning, Ömer comes in the room dressed. Zehra is asleep. He then begins to make noise so she gets up and he can apologize. She does not open her eyes and only opens them when he leaves.

On Mert's advice, Cevriye asks people to write their thoughts about her and put them in a box anonymously. Alev hears and has a mean look.

Ömer comes into the bedroom. Zehra is drawing. He asks to talk to her. He says my mistake is unforgiveable. I committed the same mistake I said I would not commit. As he tries to apologize, she tells him not to bother. She will do whatever she can to make Ayşe happy. She adds that he does not need to feel indebted to her for it, because she is doing it for Ayşe not for him. Mert sees them from afar.

Yasemin gets mad at Koray for not calling her more often and working too much.

Ömer is pacing the study. Mert comes in and asks him what's up. Classic Ömer Kervancioglu who is upset and does not want anyone asking him questions. Ömer says it is nothing serious. Mert says I can see it is because you have been this way for days.

Hilmi Yilmaz tells Alev that he needs to know when Mert leaves the house.

Mert goes and gets Zehra and brings her into the study. He tells them to sit side by side. Ömer goes to her and she tries to move away. He tells them to sit closer. Ömer asks what the issue is. Mert says you are issue and I am going to give you some marriage therapy. They try to get out of it. Mert says denial is the worse form of solving a problem. Mert says don't put up an act for me. Ömer says well maybe it is not a bad idea. So, they begin. Mert gives them an assignment. He tells them to write the good and bad things before and after their lives together. He has to go to a meeting and will get the work from them when he comes back. Zehra is annoyed with Ömer. Ömer says I told you Mert will know. Zehra takes the paper and goes to the bedroom to do the work. They both have a tough time but do end up reflecting on each other and their relationship.

Alev informs Hilmi Yilmaz when Mert leaves. Yilmaz gets his men to block his way and bring him to his father. He is waiting for Mert on a bridge at the waterfront. He tells Mert don't start work with Ömer. All I have is yours. Mert says do you really think I would work with you. He tells his father I have already started work with Ömer and tells him to stay away. Mert says we started our partnership long ago with Ömer and goes. Hilmi Yilmaz warns Mert not to force him to do things that would upset him.

Ömer goes in the bedroom and sees a paper there. He sees the negative things Zehra has written about him. Before and After Z. Who is Z? She has written that he forces everyone to do what he thinks is right. He does not believe in loving anyone other than his own family. He does not trust anyone. She comes in and he asks do you really think I am such a person. What do you care what I think? He says but Mert. She says don't worry I have written another one for him. Ömer reads and she asks is there anything you want to add to give Mert a good picture. He says no it is more than enough. Even if it is not true, it will convince him. He then asks what does Z stand for? Zorba (tyrant)? Zehra nods yes. Ömer is sad.

Şükran arrives at the office but Leyla is not there. Demir takes her into his office and gives her a coffee and they talk. When Leyla comes, she is again annoyed that Demir and Şükran are together. Hilmi Yilmaz tells Alev she has to break Ömer and Mert's partnership. Alev wonders what to do.

Mert is in the study waiting for the couple. They are funny standing in front of him with their homework in hand. Mert sits at Ömer's desk. They give him their work. Mert reads. They have the same descriptors for each other: considerate, kind, helpful, brave, and loving. Mert says how can two people think such good things about one another and yet have problems. Ömer looks at her sweetly. Mert asks them to say what bothers them about the other. Zehra says his presence gives a sense of security but sometimes he is too protective and that leads him to make mistakes. Zehra says he has trust issues. Ömer says she is the most loving person I have ever seen. But she is too reserved and I feel she has not told me everything and that upsets me. And she interprets my unease as lack of trust. Zehra says he wants everyone to follow his rules and can't stand anything else. Ömer says when a decision is made, I naturally want it to be honoured. Zehra looks at him. There appears to be some understanding between them. Mert asks how they feel. Both say at the same time, lighter!

Mert says your writings reveal you are a perfect match. You only have some communication problems. Communication channels must always be open. He then tells them to look in each other's eyes and express their love. They mumble I love you without looking at each other. Mert says this won't do. Get up, look at each other, and hold each other's hands. They hold hands and stare at each other…suddenly at the same time they say, I love you! Without taking their eyes off each other.
