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.

Adnan hears what Hilmi had really confronted Behlül with at Çetin Özder's party.

Adnan wants to hear from Behlül directly whether he is in love with Nihal. Pushed into a corner, especially by Firdevs, Behlül can only confess love for Nihal.

Most discussed topic in the Ziyagil household is the rumor of Behlül and Nihal's feelings for each other.

Besir starts having second thoughts. He cannot see Nihal being hurt, therefore, he goes to Adnan's office and is able to remove the CD with the evidence before Adnan returns from a business trip. However, Besir, hopelessly in love with Nihal, decides to leave the Ziyagil family.

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.

Nihal is jealous of her father's relationship with Bihter. The whole family makes a trip to Aunt Arsen's farm. Hilmi tries to take back his money from Firdevs.

Behlül and Bihter can no longer hold back their attraction and start to kiss which Deniz almost witnesses.

Nihal sadly witnesses Adnan and Bihter's quarrels. Adnan cannot understand what Bihter was doing in Deniz' room. He is forced to tell Bihter that her mother tried to kill herself and that Deniz is the one who rescued Firdevs. In an attempt to leave everything behind Bihter suggests running away with Behlül.

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

Bihter feels cornered when Behlül changes his mind at the last minute not to go away with her. She immediately calls her mother so that she can get the letter Bihter wrote for her husband before he can read it. Adnan wants Behlül to be an important part of his firm and sends him to Azerbaijan with Nihat for business matters.
