“Shahin Honors Zeytin Angering Azade, Ferit Arrives with Tanem, Elif Feels Unwell, and Hussein figures out Yaman’s True Identity”
Ferit tried to calm both Adnan and Sinan, but Adnan $lapped Sinan, to the ground shocking everyone. Finally, Ferit, Sinan, and Azade demanded that Adnan leave for good. He walked out with his suitcase as Müge broke down in tears, vowing never to forgive him. She clung to Sinan, saying she hated the mansion and her grandfather and would despise him until her last breath.
Vedia and Zeytin visited Ayşe at her new home and shared dinner with her and her new family. During the meal, Vedia pointed out that Ayşe always said she had no relatives, so she was surprised to learn about the sudden appearance of a grandfather. The mood became tense until Mirza tried to change the atmosphere by serving beef.
Ayşe then remarked that Elif resembled her mother, and she could not stop looking at her.
When Zeytin needed to use the washroom, Vedia wanted to accompany him and explained his condition to the others since he had recently been c!rcumcised. Shahin offered to hold a traditional feast for the boy, which startled Vedia.
Later, she spoke privately with Ayşe, saying Shahin seemed kind but she was unsettled that he never searched for her before. Ayşe revealed that Shahin blamed her father, believing he had turned her against him. She shared that her grandfather had given her the last letter her mother wrote, asking him to take care of her.
Although her father always insisted he never lied, the letter and photographs made her question what to believe. Ayşe happily showed Vedia her mother’s belongings, saying they made her feel closer to her. Vedia assured her that she understood. Ayşe then admitted she was torn between her future with Ferit and her past that connected her to her mother and roots.
Vedia encouraged her to focus on what lies ahead. Ayşe further confessed she had seen Ferit with another woman. Vedia tried to reassure her, saying it was likely a friend because Ferit’s heart was only for her. Ayşe described the woman as attractive and captivating, but Vedia urged her to trust her husband and return home because marriage cannot survive with distance.
Before Ayşe could continue, Elif came in with fruit. Ayşe dressed Elif in her mother’s jacket and hugged her while comparing her with an old photograph. Vedia agreed they looked alike. Shahin arrived outside and witnessed this moment. At the mansion, Ferit and Sinan argued about Adnan.
Ferit admitted he pressured their father but reminded Sinan that Adnan’s behavior, even in front of Müge, was unacceptable. Sinan wondered how Ferit could remain silent after Adnan’s affair, which brought shame to the family. Ferit insisted it was their father’s home and said shameless people never feel embarrassed, so the best choice might be to leave the house themselves.
Sinan resisted, accusing Ferit of wanting to give Adnan what he wanted. Their quarrel grew heated until Azade called from the window, warning them not to wake the household and reminding them that Adnan was gone so they should stop arguing in other not to please him. Ferit then walked away.
As Vedia was about to leave, Shahin welcomed her warmly, saying she was always a guest in his home, and reminded her of the planned circumcision celebration in honor of Zeytin. Vedia thanked him and left with Mirza. Ayşe later thanked Shahin for everything before retiring to her room, where she fell deep into thought just as Ferit did in his own home.
The following morning, Vedia encouraged Zeytin as he nervously feared his c!rcumcision. At the same time, Azade discovered advertisements for a circumcision event and learned that a sponsor from Adana was behind it. She became furious that someone outside their town was performing charitable work that she believed only their family had the right to do.
Although she ordered the sponsor to be removed, she was told invitations were already distributed, which made her even angrier. Sinan prepared to take Müge to school, while Vedia arrived to invite them to the c!rcumcision celebration. When asked who the host was, Zeytin mentioned his grandfather, but Vedia explained it was a benefactor from Adana.
This shocked Sinan, and Leman warned that Azade would be outraged. Vedia brushed it off, claiming she was already immune to Azade’s anger. Later, Ferit promised Zeytin that he would attend the celebration. He reminded Vedia that their family could have arranged a proper ceremony, but she declined, saying she did not want to burden anyone given all the constant conflicts in the house.
Ferit reassured them he would be present. At Ayşe’s place, she played with a dog and told Elif how she used to walk dogs in Istanbul for money and that she preferred animals to people, who she considered cruel and hypocritical. Elif was made uncomfortable by this. Shahin then announced that they would attend the c!rcumcision, but Elif refused.
Ayşe insisted she join, while Shahin defended her, yet Mirza persuaded them to let Elif go. Ayşe and Elif prepared outfits from her mother’s wardrobe. Outside, Shahin confided in Mirza that allowing Elif to go felt risky, but Mirza calmed him down. Soon after, Azade called Shahin, reminding him the tradition belonged to her family and saying his actions would embarrass them.
Shahin simply told her he had already given his word and invited her as a guest if she wanted to attend. Furious, Azade hung up. She then learned from Leman that Vedia had already invited the family, further increasing her anger. Elsewhere, Betül destroyed her divorce papers in anger.
Hande, now in prison, endured büllying from fellow inmates. Yaman visited her, warning her to behave and promising he would get her out. She asked if he had resolved matters with Adnan. Meanwhile, Hüseyin met with his lawyer and discovered his accounts were empty. Believing Yaman stole his money, he swore to k!ll him, forcing guards to restrain him.
That evening, Ayşe and Elif came downstairs dressed for the event, and both Mirza and Shahin admired them. During the celebration, Ayşe danced with Zeytin and later encouraged Elif to join the dancing. Shahin worried but Mirza urged him to relax. Guests began to arrive, including Sinan with Müge and Leman.
