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.

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.

The Ziyagil's plan to spend New Year's Eve in New York while Behlül stays in Istanbul. When he hears that Besir has been hospitalized, he leaves to return him home to Istanbul.

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.

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.

Besir witnesses a long-haired woman, whom he mistakes for Nihal, and Behlül kissing on the balcony. Only Deniz realizes that Behlül and Bihter were kissing each other in the middle of the night. Besir openly confronts Behlül with what he saw. Peyker, on the other hand, confronts Bihter with her suspicion. However, she believes that the attraction is one-sided, namely that Behlül alone is interested in her sister.

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.

Adnan, as well as Behlül, are worried about Bither's accident. Bither is only mildly injured in the car crash. She was on her way to tell Adnan everything about her and Behlül. Even after the accident, she is convinced to tell Adnan everything. However, Behlül is able to stop her.

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.
