Behlül asks Nihal to marry him and is accepted. At Çetin's party, Behlül hits Hilmi who confronted him with his knowledge about the affair between Behlül and his uncle's wife.

Thanks to Deniz, Firdevs is taken home from the hospital. Only Katya and Deniz know of the suicide attempt. Eventually, Adnan finds out the truth as well. In the meantime, it gets more and more difficult for both Behlül and Bihter to hide their true feelings.

Because of a secret tip to the police from Hilmi, Firdevs is caught gambling and thus taken to the police station for further investigation.

Nihal faints in the middle of her examination and is unable to finish it. Behlül ends his engagement with Elif. After an unsuccessful attempt to meet in a hotel, Behlül and Bihter sleep with each other in the garden house. As it turns out, they weren't unobserved.

Behlül accompanies Nihal to her high-school graduation ball, where she graduated with honors as second best. The drunk Bihter calls Behlül to tell him that she loves him. An astonished yet happy Behlül returns her feelings.

While Nihal's world comes crashing down on her wedding day, step by step Adnan and the rest learn of Behlül and Bihter's affair.

Bihter was unable to have an abortion. When Firdevs finds out that her daughter is pregnant, she decides to tell Adnan about it. In the meantime, Bihter hears of the news that Behlül and Nihal have decided to prepone their wedding.

Besir confronts Behlül that he knows about his and Bihter's affair.

To anger Behlül and his inability to stand by her side Bihter returns to her husband. Firdevs - who vigorously tries to even and emend Bihter and Adnan's marriage - even plans a grand wedding anniversary celebration for her daughter. In the meantime Hilmi finds out that Bither was drunk when the car accident happened. An information he is more than ready to use to his advantage.

Besir can no longer remain silent and is determined to tell Adnan the truth about the affair his nephew and his wife are having. This time Besir films Behlül and Bihter and sends the CD to Adnan's office.

Bihter an Peyker are still hardly talking to each. Nonetheless, Peyker still visits her sister to let her know that Adnan has been informed about Hilmi's alleged rumor that Bihter and Behlül have an affair. In the meantime, Adnan suspects a spy in his environment who keeps Hilmi up-to-date about the Ziyagil household.

Bihter tells Adnan that she wants a divorce and tells Behlül that she will leave Adnan with or without him.

Bihter realizes that it must be Besir who saw her with Behlül. Especially when Besir tries to talk to Adnan in private, her suspicion becomes true. In the meantime, Behlül's former fiancé, Elif, has spread the rumor that Behlül and Nihal are only distant cousins and thus secret lovers. While the entire family is angry, Nihal seems to like the idea.

Bither goes to see Behlül in his house outside of Istanbul and finds him in bed with another woman. Firdevs fears that there is more going on between her daughter Bihter and Behlül. Therefore, she starts influencing Nihal with the notion that Behlül is in love with her.

Firdevs goes one step further and tells Adnan that Behlül has confessed his love for Nihal. Coincidentally Cemile overhears this and immediately spreads the news. Bihter realizes what a dangerous play her mother is willing to play in order not to lose her comfortable life.

Nihal who has hidden her feeling for Behlül over years kisses him with encouraging that Firdevs gave her with speeches. Adnan witnesses Behlül's confession about his love for Bihter.
