Zehra says I will fight for our love. No matter how you insult me and degrade me. I am staying not because I have no honour or pride but because I know I have done nothing wrong. He says of course, you will stay and understand every minute of my distaste for you. Zehra says if this is because of the envelope, I did something for a loved one. He says you cannot love anyone but yourself. She suddenly says but I have loved you, loved you so much! Ömer is arrested with the indelible authenticity of her confession. Again, he pulls himself out of it and walks away. She leaves and says I will stay and show you I am not the person you think I am. Zehra steps out and tells herself to be strong.

Kerem is upset about Can. Ati brings tea for him and appears to be sick so Kerem tells him to take it away. Kerem gets a call for an important deal for his business. Later Ati serves tea for him again and looks worse. On his way out Ati faints. Kerem runs to help him. He tells Sabah to call for a taxi to take him to the hospital.

Zehra goes in the hall and meets Müge who is sitting with Ayşe and Asya. Later Ömer comes and meets her. He says now that Asya has a new playmate, she would not need Zehra to play with so much. Asya contradicts her and says she will always love playing with Zehra. Ömer says I am jealous. Asya says you can play with us too. He says but I am not good at playing games like Zehra Auntie!!!

Ömer then wants to take his leave. Zehra gets up and asks him what he would like for dinner. He says not to bother as he is going to be late. She says OK then I will see you off. He can't stop her in front of Ayşe but leaves quickly. In the foyer, Zehra catches up with him, stops him and begins fixing his tie pin. They are caught in the intimate moment. He again pulls himself out and takes her hands off his chest. Hediye Abla passes so he hesitates. When they are gone he is about to say "if you once more…" Zehra goes on her toes and kisses him on the cheek. He is arrested. She looks at him like a little girl in love. She glows. He wants to say something. He can't. She says have a wonderful day! He leaves.

Zehra goes to the bedroom pleased with her effort. She begins tidying up the room. Putting Ömer's clothes away and placing his pajamas and fixing his slippers beside the bed. She looks at the broken frame with their picture and says I will fix everything.

Müge gets up to go to the washroom and sneaks into Ayşe and Nihat's bedroom and looking at the photo says she will claim Nihat back.

Kerem and Sabah take care of Ati and take him to Kerem's house to recuperate. Kerem does not even leave when he gets a call for business and loses the deal. Sabah is impressed. they call the doctor when Ati's fever rises. When he falls asleep Sabah makes coffee for them both and they take it outside. She tells her that he has changed from a selfish boy to someone very nice. The doorbell rings. Ayhan Abi arrives. Kerem wants to apologize for being there but Ayhan tells Kerem that his father has now allowed him to use the house and car again. He is basically being rewarded for being a kind and responsible son.

Ömer goes to the office and remembers Zehra's kiss and burns with desire for her. He calls Can to bring him a file from his study. Özge has joined them from another company. She used to work for them before but has now changed departments. Nihat talks with her and Selin takes her to show her the office.

Zehra is in the kitchen making a shopping list. When Zehra hears Can is going out, she brings the frame and asks Can to get it fixed. Can goes to Ömer to deliver the file. He then asks for permission to go and fix the frame Zehra gave him. Ömer takes it and throws it on the table. He says he will fix it himself. When he leaves he takes it and looks at it and turns it face down.

Canan goes to Çetin and tells her she needs her money. He comes up with excuses to say it might not be possible. He was expecting more money from her. She leaves and Çetin gets a call. He needs money to pay his debt or he will be in big trouble.

Zehra sees Can at home, she asks if he had time to fix the picture. He says Ömer took it. Zehra thinks to herself, he probably cannot bear to see their picture even.

Ömer arrives late at night and goes to the bedroom. Zehra is asleep in her red dress on the covers. He looks at her and remembers her kiss. His face is bright. He puts the frame on the chest. He goes to his side of the bed and remembers her kiss again. He stretches beside Zehra on the bed and approaches her with longing and is about to caress her face.
