Sadakat disagrees with Cihan’s decision to let Alya take Deniz with her to Nare. However, Cihan insists she should no longer interfere, promising that he knows exactly what he is doing and that soon he will bring Alya into their home as his bride.
Alya agrees to go with Cihan to a restaurant to discuss marriage, as this was the condition he set in exchange for allowing her to stay with Nare. During their conversation, Cihan tries to reassure her by explaining that their marriage would not be real and that no one would know they are married. However, this proposal deeply upsets Alya. She feels humiliated and trapped in an unfair situation, so she angrily leaves, unable to accept the idea. She is not willing, under any circumstances, to live in their house as the widowed daughter-in-law of the family, sacrificing her own life—or letting her son become like them.
Meanwhile, Cihan goes to his girlfriend’s house, wanting to explain why he is forced to marry his sister-in-law. But she is overwhelmed by the situation and refuses to listen to his explanations.
Ecmel continues to devise plans to dethrone Cihan and place his own son, Şahin, at the head of the Albora family.
Cihan is informed that all the family’s trade routes have been blocked and that their business partners have been threatened into withdrawing, and are willing to negotiate only with Şahin. Although Kaya is convinced that their cousin knows nothing about his father’s plans, Cihan decides to keep everything to himself and wait to see what Şahin’s next move will be.
Şahin gets drunk and goes to Nare’s house to talk to her. Zerrin, worried because she hasn’t heard from her brother all day, calls Kaya and asks him to look for him. Kaya manages to bring Şahin home, which once again sparks tension and threats between Zerrin and her mother, who has strictly forbidden her from speaking to Kaya again.
Note: This is not the original full-length episode, but a shortened 45-minute version, meaning the series will have approximately three times more episodes than the original format.
