Ömer says what are you talking about. Bahşende says Zehra is not an appropriate choice. He thinks he is in love with her. But she is clearly only after his money. As the matriarch of the family, she says, she feels it is her duty to try and avoid the same disaster that happened with her dad to repeat. She reminds him of how his mother left her father. She says Zehra, like Ömer's mother is a different class from Kervancioglu family and he should prevent her from harming the family by divorcing her. She then asks him to think about what she has said and make a brisk decision. Ömer remembers Zehra's words from the wedding night and his mother's words to his dad on the night she left, and he once more lapses into his morose mood. He wiggles his wedding band in deep thought.

Bahşende leaves the room. Outside she runs into Zehra. She asks if she needs something. She snaps that she only wanted to be alone with her grandson. Zehra goes into the study and tells Ömer that she is going with him to the office to help if any questions rise by the police. Ömer tells her coldly that the best help she can offer is to stay in the House and out of trouble. He leaves and while driving his preoccupations almost get him into an accident. He pauses to get himself together.

Zehra sits concerned about the police activities at the office. Ömer receives the warrant from Murat and tells Selin to assist him in his investigation. Zehra wants to call Ömer when he calls her. He asks him if she has any other bank accounts that he does not know of. He wants to be sure they open everything to the investigation and do not create unnecessary misunderstandings. She says she does not. She then asks if he will be late. He does not think so. Ömer pulls his drawer and sees his photo with Zehra from the early days. It brings him mixed feelings.

Sabah comes back after disappearing briefly and acts as if nothing has happened. Kerem realizes she is denying the truth. He thinks another shock might snap her out of this denial. She accepts Teo's flowers which Kerem does not appreciate.

Zehra has put on a nice dress for dinner. They are about to go for dinner when Zehra sees her shoes. She asks him to wait. She quickly runs and changes them and on her quick return slips and falls into Ömer's arms. He holds her, and they bask in the warmth of the moment.

At the table, Ömer asks Hediye to spare him the soup. Zehra then wants to serve him some other food when Bahşende snaps that serving food is the role of men, of course only when there are not servers. She then makes a point that it is only natural that she, considering her background, does not know these things. Ömer says I am very thankful that my wife shows me such care and asks her to go ahead and give him some food.

In the bedroom, Zehra thanks Ömer for supporting her at the table. He says I only did what had to be done. Ömer notices that she is limping. He goes out of the room. She gets in bed and takes out her book. The same photo of them is in her book. She looks at it. He arrives at the door and notices her looking at the photo. When he steps in, she gets nervous and drops the photo. He picks it up and gives it to her after looking at it briefly. She puts it away. He puts ice on her leg with great care. He then changes and sits on the chair to read.

Ömer is sitting beside Zehra in bed as she sleeps. He smiles and caresses her face. She wakes up and sees him. He has made breakfast for her and tells her that he has made many mistakes and asks for her forgiveness and promises to make amends. They embrace and are about to kiss when Zehra wakes up and realizes it was a dream and Ömer has fallen asleep on the chair.

Zehra prepares breakfast for Ayşe and takes it for her. Ayşe is very upset and has no appetite. She feels she can't forgive Nihat.

Ömer is in the study. He is thinking and touching his wedding band. He goes looking for Ayşe. Bahşende is in the living room and tells him, she is in her bedroom. She notices he is not wearing his wedding band.

Zehra tries to remind Ayşe of how Nihat loves her. Ömer walks to Ayşe's door and overhears Zehra listing for Ayşe the proofs of love. One who is ready to put their own life in danger to protect the other, to sacrifice everything for the other. She says sometimes, things might not go right but that does not mean they love you any less.

Ömer goes back to the study. Bahşende goes in and asks him did you decide about Zehra. He says I did, with the wedding band in his hand. He puts on the band and says I will never give up my wife.
