Ömer leaves and does not hear the rest of the conversation. Bahşende says Ömer is aware that his marriage to Zehra does not have a future and is only with her out of pity. As a gentleman he does not want to break his promise and wants Zehra to take the first step. Zehra resists Bahşende's insinuations and says I have no doubt about Ömer's love for me. Bahşende says Ömer is the one who has prepared the divorce papers but does not want to break her heart.

Ömer goes to Hediye and asks for cheese Gözleme. Hediye knows Ömer only asks for this food when he is very happy and thinks it is because Zehra has been released that he is so happy.

Zehra remains in the bedroom with mixed feelings. Bahşende's words have reminded her of the mistreatments she has been enduring from Ömer since the wedding night and is beginning to wonder if his grandmother might be right.

Ömer eats his Gözleme and when Ayşe comes he goes to the study all excited about the thought that Zehra truly loves him. He again remembers Zehra's words from the wedding night and becomes restless. He goes to the bedroom. Zehra is not there. They run into each other as Ömer is about to leave. He says he is going to the office. Zehra wonders why he is going there so late. He says he has things to do and leaves. Zehra wonders if he does not want to stay with her.

In the car, Can says I wish you would have rested a bit. Ömer mumbles to himself; I could not stay. At the office he again ponders the past and looks at the wedding photographs.

Ayşe goes to Zehra in the bedroom and tells her how happy Ömer is about his return and tells her about the cheese Gözleme sign. Zehra is confused. She thinks Ayşe and Bahşende give her completely opposite signals regarding Ömer.

Ayşe and Nihat go to the cinema with Asya. Asya buys a lamb doll for Zehra.

Sabah throws the cactus away thinking it is from Teo and Kerem feels bad but since he has not said it was sent by him, he lets it go and invites them to have a meal in his office. As they are eating Koray arrives. Koray asks Canan about Yasemin and feels down. Kerem leaves with Koray. Koray is upset that Yasemin is now going abroad. Kerem cannot lift his spirits. He calls Sabah and they talk about Koray. Teo rings the doorbell.

Kerem drives Teo to Sabah's where he offers her a huge teddy bear. Kerem is sure she will throw him and bear out but Sabah sees Kerem in the car and is annoyed that he has brought Teo to him with the stupid bear so she accepts it to spite Kerem. Kerem is disappointed.

Cevirye goes to see Zehra who is not coming out of her room and tells her she realizes she is upset and warns her not to pay attention to Bahşende's bitter attitude.

Ömer is in the office pondering everything and falls asleep. Zehra wakes up in her dress alone on the bed. She realizes Ömer has not come all night. She remembers Bahşende telling her to watch Ömer's behaviour closely. Does he stay around alone with her or try to avoid being alone? His absence makes Zehra think again that Bahşende might be right and he cannot stand being in the same room with her and actually wants to end it all.

In the morning Zehra sees the little lamb Asya has left her. She goes in the living room and thanks Asya. Bahşende makes a point of Ömer not returning all night and stirs Zehra's feelings. Zehra leaves.

Ömer wakes up in the office and Selin is surprised to see him there. She goes to get him coffee. In walks Zehra. He wonders if anything is wrong. She says she won't take too much of his time. She puts the agreement prepared by Bahşende on his desk and signs it. She says if you want this, I have no objections. Just that my father does not hear about it right away. Ömer is confused.

Zehra walks in the park in tears. Ömer goes to the waterfront and remembers Zehra in the office telling him I wish you had the gumption to tell it to my face that you do not love me. I need that to get rid of my feelings for you. She pauses but Ömer is dumbfounded. What a pity you don't even have the guts to do that, she says and leaves.

Sabah is in her office. Ömer walks in.
