Ömer returns and Zehra snaps at him for playing games. She says you are up to your old tricks. He says it was Nihat's idea that it would give us a chance to talk. Zehra says did you think you could solve the problems by bringing me here? No, you can't? The problems are in my head. He says and my feeling for you are here, beating his heart. He says yes, I took part in a lie because I love you. She says maybe not trusting someone is the same as saying you never loved them. Maybe you never loved me. Ömer storms and holds her close saying, this is not the truth and you know better than anyone how I love you truly and madly.

Zehra wants to leave but they come face to face with a couple. They are neighbours who have heard Ömer is here and have come to thank him for helping them when their roof had collapsed. They have brought goat's milk yogurt. Zehra is impressed by Ömer's role in their lives. Zehra ends up returning to the house as they invite the neighbours to dinner and eat together. The neighbours are happy that their prayers for Ömer have been answered and he has found his love and married a nice woman. They extend further prayers for a lasting life for the couple and Ömer once more says amen to that.

Once they leave, Zehra says if our happily-married-couple act is over, I am going to leave now. Ömer protest against her description. You know it well, don't you? You have practiced it for months acting like the loving husband in front of others and then turning your bitter face to me in private and acting as if I am the worst kind of person in the world. Ömer melts at Zehra's reminder of his behaviour in the past.

Zehra leaves. It is pitch dark outside. Ömer begins to count thinking she is going to come back soon. However, it is not as soon as he expected so he runs to get his coat and follow her but when he comes with his coat she has come back and warns him not to say a word. She says she will leave first thing in the morning. He says we will leave together in the morning. Ömer locks the door and put sthe keys in his pocket.

Zehra goes to sleep in the room. It is too cold, so she comes back out. Ömer gives her a cushion to sit near the fireplace and warm up. She wants to drop firewood in the fire and some embers fall on her hand. Ömer fusses over her delicate arm.

Ömer is going to sleep in the bedroom but Zehra stops him saying he can sleep on the sofa. Ömer assures her that he will be fine in the bedroom despite the cold. Zehra insists that he can sleep on the sofa. So they both settle in the two sofas. The dark scares Zehra so they light some candles and begin to talk. Ömer happily recounts the story about coming there with his dad and Ayşe and how they had lost his sister and looked for her everywhere and found her in the closet with chocolate covered hands. Zehra asks how come your mother was not there. Ömer says she had left us and his joy melts away from his face.

Later he gets up and they continue talking intimately and smiling at each other through the night.

Kerem is irritated by Teo's appearance and has no chance to declare his love for Sabah. Koray spends the night working at Salim's and is late for work. He falls asleep on his desk. Özge keeps rebuking him.

Nihat asks Ayşe if she has found a CD lying around. She has not.

Ömer wakes up in the morning and sees that Zehra has taken the keys form his pocket and let herself out. He follows her and catches up with her. She is scared but tells him she will take care of herself. He is about to follow her when suddenly loses balance and falls injuring his ankle. Zehra helps him back to the house and feels responsible for what has happened to Ömer.

At the House Asya gives the CD to her mom so she can set it up for her to see. Ayşe takes the CD. She realizes it has to do with Alev and is about to see what is on it.
