Alev at home remembers that when she asked Ömer about Zehra, Zehra steps out of the building. She apologizes for the wait saying she was in the rest rooms. Ömer perks up and opens the door for her and taking their smug leave from Alev, they get in the car and go. Alev is miffed. Looking in the mirror, Alev says she has to be smarter and has probably underestimated Zehra.

At home they sit at the table and Alev tries to catch Zehra by asking her about what she might have heard at the conference. She says I know most of it was probably over your head but you must remember something. Ömer is concerned. Zehra looks at Ömer and then suddenly begins talking of financial matters she read in the magazine. Everyone is taken by her eloquence. Ömer is pleased.

Koray is determined to stay. Sevim is upset and nervous. She keeps breaking dishes and snapping at everyone.

Müzeyyen again tries to talk to Alev but Alev says Zehra is a fake and a sign is that overnight she became an expert in the shipping business referring to her performance at the dinner table. Müzeyyen says she is worthy of praise for managing to make something out of herself despite being an orphan and having no support. Alev is not convinced. Ömer goes to bedroom. Zehra has fallen asleep with her clothes on. Ömer wants to cover her with a blanket but stops himself.

In the morning Asya comes and says she is escaping her mother because she wants to brush her hair. Zehra says she will brush her hair for her and promises that it won't hurt. As she does it gently, Ömer walks into the doorframe and watches them. The scene is very gentle and beautiful and Ömer looks happy and peaceful watching it. Asya goes out happily after examining herself in the mirror. Ömer and Zehra look after her running. When they turn to face each other, they have their smiling faces and immediately change it when their eyes meet.

They go to breakfast. Alev is changing her tactic and wants to find out about Zehra. Ömer leaves and Alev stays to have coffee with the ladies and chat. She asks about her childhood. Ayşe stops her and says that is not a topic that needs to be discussed because it could upset Zehra. Leyla calls Zehra and she says she will meet her at the usual place. Sevim hears Leyla on the street talking on the phone and realizes she is going to meet Zehra so she follows her. Nazan informs Alev that Zehra is going to meet a friend. Alev follows Zehra.

Ömer, Demir and Nihat want to start a meeting, Alev is not there and does not respond to a call. Yasemin and Koray meet at the café and Yasemin takes back the phone. Then Funda walks in so Yasemin leaves and Alper walks her home.

Zehra meets Leyla near the river and tells her that she told Sevim and Yener that she has paid for the hospital bill. Then Alev arrives and meets Leyla. Leyla says she has to go realizing something is amiss. Sevim looks for Leyla but does not find her. She runs into her when she is leaving the park and they both leave in a cab. Alev fishes about Zehra's orphanage. Then Ömer calls Alev and she tells him she ran into Zehra in the park. Ömer asks to talk to Zehra. Alev gives her the phone and Ömer tells her to stay there as he will go pick her up. Alev wants to give her a ride but she says Ömer is coming so she goes. Ömer gets there. Alev goes to orphanage.
