“Ayşe and Hande’s Deadly Showdown, Zümrüt’s accident, and the Shocking appearance of Ayşe’s Grandfather at the Scene”
Ayşe storms into Azade’s study, takes her gun̈, and leaves the mansion saying she cannot remain the same anymore because people are cruel. Meanwhile, Ferit is woken by Ender’s call. Ender tells him that after thr£atening the mysterious neighbor, she confessed that she delivered Ayşe a dessert made with poisonous mushrooms.
The poison did not appear in her test results, but Ender reveals the shocking truth: it was Hande who poisoned Ayşe. Ferit, stunned, demands that Ender immediately track down Hande’s location. Ferit looks for Ayşe and calls her, but she ignores his calls. Instead, Ayşe attempts to call Hande.
When her number is unavailable, she calls Zümrüt and insists she pass the phone to Hande. Once connected, Ayşe demands a meeting. Zümrüt, suspicious, questions Hande about why Ayşe would suddenly call her and asks whether she was once again plotting against her, possibly even the reason she lost her baby.
Zümrüt insists on answers before allowing her to leave. Hande angrily admits she did indeed cause Ayşe to lose her child and even confesses to sleeping with Yaman to punish everyone who wronged her. Shocked, Zümrüt calls her a monster and reminds her that she never raised her this way.
In her attempt to stop Hande from leaving, Zümrüt nearly suffers a heart attack and falls down the staircase. Back at the mansion, Azade searches for her missing guñ when Ferit rushes in. He tells her Ayşe is missing. Azade replies that her guñ is gone and suspects Ayşe took it. Shocked, Ferit realizes the danger.
Sinan arrives and joins him in the search. Ferit calls Zümrüt but she is too injured to answer. Eventually, she manages to pick up, telling Ferit that Hande went to meet Ayşe and they must not see each other. She then collapses mid-call, leaving Ferit and Sinan deeply worried.
Ayşe waits for Hande at a secluded location. Hande arrives, and Ayşe ṣ̌laps her across the face before pulling out the gun. Terrified, Hande begs her to drop it, but Ayşe accuses her of every crime: ṣ̌höoting her, k!lling her brother Baha, sending her to prison, trying to burn her alive with her child, and finally poisoning her baby.
Hande desperately pleads that she once tried to save her from the fire, but Ayşe refuses to believe her. She declares that the old Ayşe is gone forever. Hande offers to stay away, begging for mercy, but Ayşe tells her she cannot forgive her because nothing will bring her child back.
As the confrontation escalates, Ferit and Sinan arrive. Hande urges Ayşe to drop the gun̈ before Ferit sees her, but Ayşe remains unmoved. While distracted by Ferit calling out, Hande lunges for the guñ. A struggle breaks out, and a ŝhot suddenly goes off, stunning everyone. Hande is hit in the shoulder and accuses Ayşe of šhöoting her.
Sinan rushes to her aid, while Ferit stands in shock. Ayşe insists she did not fire even though she wanted to. At that moment, an grandfather suddenly appears and admits he was the one who šhot Hande. He warns her that if she does not stay away from Ayşe, the next bullët will strike her heart.
Hande, in pain, asks who he is, as do Ferit and Ayşe. The stranger reveals he is Ayşe’s grandfather. He says he has returned only for her happiness and will punish anyone who harms her. Ayşe angrily denies any bond with him and tells Ferit they should leave. Ferit warns the man to stay away from her.
They then discover that Hande has disappeared, forcing Ferit and Sinan to split up in search of her and all this while Mirza watches from afar. Hande, wounded, hides in a supermarket. Sinan comes close but leaves after receiving a call from Azade. He tells her that Hande is badly injured but promises to explain later.
Once Sinan leaves, Hande borrows the store owner’s phone to make a call. Meanwhile, Yaman argues with Betül. She angrily reminds him of his broken promises and accuses him of always running to Hande whenever she calls. When Yaman receives a desperate call from Hande asking for help, Betül blocks him, accusing him of repeating the same pattern.
Despite her anger, Yaman leaves, and Betül destroys things in frustration. Ferit, driving with Ayşe, asks her whether the man was truly her grandfather. Ayşe refuses to discuss it, saying she has no grandfather. Ferit, still confused, agrees not to press the matter. Sinan rejoins them and reports that Hande is nowhere to be found, so he has asked others to continue searching.
Elsewhere, Mirza confronts grandfather. He asks why he şhot Hande without informing him since that was not their plan. Grandfather replies that he wanted to save Ayşe from going to prison and claims everything is delayed because Mirza did not undergo the surgery that would heal Elif.
Mirza advises him to consult a lawyer, but the man insists Hande will not go to the police. He stares at Ayşe’s pictures, saying he only wants her happiness and she will come to them voluntarily but if she doesn’t he will use other methods. Later, Yaman finds Hande injured in a hidden spot. She lies, claiming a mad person ṣ̌hot her.
When Yaman suggests taking her to the hospital and police, she refuses, saying Ayşe was the one who ṣ̌hot her and insisting she needs to escape instead. Yaman, shocked, asks why she would not report it. She convinces him to help her and promises to explain later as he put her into his car and drives off.
When Ferit, Sinan, and Ayşe arrive at the mansion, Azade immediately stop them and demands to speak with them. Ferit tries to postpone the discussion, but Azade insists, saying she does not care about his condition since his wife entered her office, stole her guñ, and ṣ̌hot Hande. This shocks Ferit, who looks toward Sinan.
Azade blames Ayşe and tells Ferit to call the police if he truly values justice. Vedia arrives as Ferit confidently assures her that Ayşe did not ṣ̌hoot Hande. He explains that the bull£t was not fired from her gun̈, leaving Azade embarrassed as he and Ayşe go upstairs. Vedia tries to calm Azade, but she refuses to let go of her anger.
She asks Sinan how Ayşe is any different from Hande, saying that she accepted Ayşe for Ferit’s sake only for this to occur. Azade warns that if they continue covering for Ayşe, their next scandal may end up in the newspapers. Inside, Ferit comforts Ayşe, who is crying in despair.
He admits Azade was right about her mistake this time but tells her he understands her pain. Ayşe explains that her suffering began when a guñ was fired at her, when Baha was k!lled, when she went to prison and when Hande nearly burned her alive. She reminds Ferit that Hande also caused the death of their unborn child.
