Ömer and Zehra are driving back. Ömer beats the wheel to vent out his anger. Zehra begs him to calm down. He says he is angry at himself for falling for her games again. They arrive home. Ayşe comes out and Ömer goes into the yard without talking. Zehra tells Ayşe what happened, and Ayşe is shocked and says if our mother does not explain this we cannot see her again. Zehra is convinced that there must be an explanation. She is certain of Jülide's love for her children.

In the yard Defne arrives in her affectations clothes and goes to Ömer and tells him he is ready to listen. Zehra comes and they go in the verandah to have coffee. Defne realizes it has to do with Ömer's mother. She tells him that he should not blame himself for not being able to forgive her because after all she was not there when they really needed her.

Ömer and Defne are in the study. Zehra goes there as well. Defne shows them a teddy bear keychain Ömer bought for her years ago and how she has kept it. Ömer shows her the pen she got her years ago and how he has kept it.

Zehra asks Ömer to meet her and Ayşe in the study. He goes there. Ayşe says let us give Jülide a chance to explain. Ömer says what is there to explain. Zehra says maybe there is an explanation. Maybe she had to do that.

Ayşe calls Jülide and asks her for an explanation. Jülide tells her that she cannot explain these things now, adding that they cannot meet for a while.

Defne stays for dinner. Ömer does not want to eat. Defne insists and they go to dinner. At the table Bahşende is very happy and she has made arrangements to serve Defne's favourite dessert. Defne reminds Ömer of how they developed a taste for it together. She gives him her carrots reminding him of how she always did that. Zehra notes that Ömer does not like carrots and he says he would eat them because she did not want Defne to get crossed. Ömer has a headache. Zehra is concerned. He holds her hand and says it will pass.

In the study Defne is with Ömer. She asks what he has decided. He says I need to satisfy all my suspicions and find the answers to the questions in my head. Zehra brings painkillers. He says he will not take any and it will get better. Defne says drink the water. That could also be helpful. He does it and thanks her for the recommendation. She wants to leave. Ömer offers that she stay the night. Zehra seconds that and she accepts. Zehra goes to ask Hediye to prepare the guest room. She also asks Ömer to go and rest. He promises that he will go soon.

Zehra wears her nice nighties and lights the candles and waits for him. The candles are almost burnt out and he does not come. She wonders if he is angry with her because of the Jülide episode. She sits herself down to read and falls asleep. Ömer comes in and realizes she has waited for him. He puts her book away and pulls the blanket over her. He puts out the candles and changes. He lies beside her looking at her. She turns and hugs him in her sleep. He relishes the moment. In the morning they are sleeping in each other's arms. Zehra wakes up and savours it. He wakes up too and they smile at each other. He apologizes for being late last night. She realizes that his work did not finish but he had come anyways because he had promised her. She is happy. He is sad that he missed her waiting for him in the candle-perfumed room. She says maybe you can enjoy it another time. He asks for an advance and gets a couple of kisses on the cheek and so does she. She then gets up quickly to attend to their guest because her aunt says getting up after your guests is inappropriate.
