“Azade Confronts Adnan and Saadet as Ferit Chooses Between Ayşe and Their Baby, While Betül and Yaman’s Rift Grows”
In their bedroom, Azade cannot believe that at Adnan’s age she found him in a hotel with his mistress. She asks if he was not ashamed and if she deserved that, demanding he look her in the face. Adnan replies that their children are the only reason keeping them together and she knows it. Azade asks if he hated her so much, but Adnan says it has nothing to do with hate and he did not do it to hurt her.
Azade demands to know why he cheated after all their years together. Adnan tells her to calm down because nothing will change by her tantrums and even suggests she open the window and announce it if it will ease her. Azade angrily tells him she does not care if he disgraces himself because this betrayal will remain between them. Adnan replies that he no longer cares what she or others think.
Azade asks if it was worth disgracing himself in front of his children while Ayse is in critical condition in the hospital and he was in a hotel with his mistress. Shocked, Adnan asks what happened to Ayse, but Azade accuses him of never showing empathy for her. She says he has betrayed her, their family, their children, and everyone in their mansion.
Adnan claims Azade always involves everyone and tries to hurt him. Azade says she hates him, and Adnan replies she can divorce him. Azade questions what he promised Saadet, whether it was money, marriage, or reputation, and mocks that he was always worthy of such women. She locks him in the room, saying their conversation is not over, then makes a call telling the person they need to talk. Adnan is left deep in thought.
At Yaman’s house, Zümrüt tries calling Hande but it does not go through. Betül suggests they go to bed but Zümrüt insists she is waiting for news. Hande then sends a voice note explaining she was job hunting, does not want to bother them, and will not come again. She says a person can only fall in love once, and if Betül thinks she is after her husband despite making her past with Yaman clear, then Betül can keep her house and husband.
Betül angrily wishes Zümrüt goodnight and walks away. Yaman also leaves. In their room, Betül hands Yaman a letter from Hande. Yaman says he is not interested, but Betul insists. She reads it aloud, where Hande writes that Yaman was in Betül’s ’s arms while she stayed awake regretting giving him away.
She says if she is not the one in his bed instead of Betül it was thanks to her, and they should make each other happy because he loves them. Betul throws the letter at him and storms off. Azade meets Nurse Saadet in her study. Saadet is surprised by the invitation, but Azade says there is much to discuss.
She accuses her of not being a nurse and of seducing married men, frightening Saadet. She says Adnan is probably not her first victim. Saadet tries to leave, but Azade offers her 200,000 lira, claiming Adnan will not give her more and in weeks she will have nothing. Azade even promises ten times more if she accepts.
Saadet asks why she would give her that much money, but Azade tells her she wants to request something of her and she must obey. Meanwhile, Betül angrily cleans the kitchen and sees Yaman dressed to go out. He says he needs air. Zümrüt arrives with her suitcase saying she is going back to her house.
Betül apologizes but Zümrüt insists they cannot live together. She warns Betül not to give up her marriage because of Hande’s games. Outside, Yaman looks at Hande’s letter and calls Sinan, asking to meet. Sinan declines because Ferit is unwell and Ayşe is in the hospital.
At the mansion, Adnan bangs on the locked door until Azade opens it. He asks why she called Saadet, but Azade tells him to keep guessing. When she tries locking him again, Adnan hurts her hand, breaks the lock, and storms out. He confronts Saadet, who is cold toward him. He asks why she invited Azade to the hotel. She says it was her only choice since he was unwell.
Adnan insists it was just one night and should not have ended like this. Saadet says he told her he was happy with her and at war with his wife, asking if he does not love her anymore since she does. Adnan questions how she fell in love so quickly and says he cannot trust her since he has a family to protect. Saadet leaves in tears, as Azade secretly watches and Adnan notices her at the window.
Ferit is on a video call with Vedia in the ICU showing the decorated nursery. Ayşe, happy and convinced it is a girl, feels sudden pain. Vedia hangs up and calls doctors. Mirza tries to stabilize Ayşe. A vase breaks in the nursery as the family waits in fear as Ferit arrives with Sinan. Doctors inform them the poison damaged her organs and only removing the baby could save her.
Ferit is left devastated and confused since they both ate together and he is fine but signs consent, choosing to save his wife. Ayşe dreams of their baby and family before collapsing in her vision.
Outside, Sinan tells Yaman the news, shocking him. Yaman comforts him, saying Ferit needs support.
Zümrüt returns home and calls Hande, urging her to come back, but Hande refuses and argues with her mother before hanging up. The next day, Ayşe wakes up with Ferit beside her. She thinks the baby cured her and wants to raise it with love. Ferit sadly agrees, hiding the truth. She asks him not to leave her, and he promises to always stay.
At the mansion, Azade receives a call from Müge about the bad news. She breaks down and prepares to go to the hospital. Zümrüt visits to thank her but refuses her money for her daughter’s sake. Azade, in tears, reveals they lost their grandson making Zümrüt fear and hopes Hande didn’t have a hand in what’s going on.
At Sancakzade Holdings, a worried Adnan tries calling Ferit but he does not answer. Meanwhile in her car, Azade asks Kerim if he prepared everything, and he assures her that he did. At the hospital, Mirza visits Ayşe and pretends everything is fine since Ferit signalled him not to reveal the truth. Ayşe remembers fragments of what happened before collapsing.
Ferit feels guilty for missing her call. Ferit asks Mirza what kind of poison she ingested, and Mirza says detailed analysis will determine it. Vedia and Müge visit, and Ayşe happily talks about the baby, leaving them confused but they didn’t reveal the truth. Mirza also plays along before leaving.
Outside, Sinan asks Ferit if Ayşe knows the truth, but Ferit says he will tell her when the time is right and they thank Mirza for rushing her to the hospital. Later, in his office, Mirza watches CCTV footage of Ferit and Ender searching his truck. He smiles, thinking it is better to have a foolish friend than a dangerous enemy, and hints there is more to come.
