Ömer is distraught. Ayşe asks if anything is wrong. He says it is something to do with work and asks to be excused from the table. Bahşende asks him to stay but he says he will be back immediately. He goes into the study and asks Zehra in his head how she could do this to them He remembers her telling him that she cannot endure living like this anymore and wants a divorce. He lashes out against the things on his desk and then crashes down onto the chair repeating to himself that he cannot lose Zehra.
Bahşende asks Zehra to go and get Ömer. Zehra goes into the study and sees the room in disarray. Ömer is sitting down with his head in his hands looking desolate and helpless. She calls out his name gently and asks him to pull himself together. He lifts up his head and says your lawyer called. I did not believe things would go so far.
He walks up to her and says I will make it up to you. I will not let you go. She says what you have done to me, cannot be remedied. He puts her hand on his heart and says this heart only beats for you. Zehra says that doesn't change anything. She then asks him to come back to the table.
Ayşe comes into the room and seeing the state of the room thinks they might have had a fight. Zehra covers everything up saying Ömer is upset over something related to work. Ömer is too broken to say anything. Ayşe asks him not to upset himself over work. Zehra and Ayşe return to the table. Ömer lingers a bit longer to pull himself together. At the table they talk about how Ömer has changed since his marriage to Zehra and become a gentler soul.
Ömer finally returns to the table. They serve his favourite dessert. He clearly has no appetite for anything.
Kerem speaks with Sabah and finds himself rejoicing at the fact that Sabah was never interested in Teo. At Salim's Hamiyyet serves food with supplies she has brought from the country and they talk about the high quality of the food. Canan says she does not like the food or the country lifestyle. The adults laugh.
Ömer thanks his grandmother for the dinner and excuses himself. He goes outside. Nihat follows him and again tries to boost his morale. Nihat insists that Zehra loves Ömer and it is exactly because of that, that she is so hurt by his mistreatment. He tells Ömer that you just have to persist in showing her how much you love her.
Ömer goes into the bedroom and sees Zehra on the edge of the bed. He sits opposite her and tells him that he cannot agree to the divorce because he loves her. He then asks her if she can truly tell him that she does not love him. Zehra hesitates and tells him she does not have to tell him anything. Ömer says she does not need to tell him anything because he can see her love for him in her eyes. She says even love cannot afford to forgive some things. Ömer says but you can if you want to. He says I will not let you kill this love. She says you killed the love by not trusting me.
She sleeps. Ömer stays up on the chair all night staring at her. In the morning he tells him that he cannot resign himself to a life without her. She snaps back by saying how he destroyed the most beautiful and meaningful night in their lives because of a misunderstanding without even giving her a chance to explain. He says he was too scared to ask her about it and have to deal with the possibility that she really hated him, that she could not stand him. He says he could not live without her then or now. He kisses her hand, but she pulls back again. She says she cannot continue her life with someone who does not trust her. She says she will wait until he has told Ayşe everything and then she will tell her father.
Kerem dreams about Sabah. He tells Sabah at the office that he had a nice dream. Sabah says if you don't say it to anyone it can come true. Canan notices something between Kerem and sabah. Sabah drops her scarf at Kerem's door. He takes it and begins reflecting aloud about his feeling for her. Canan overhears Kerem.
Ayşe tells Nihat she is bored of sitting at home and wants to begin some kind of work. She decides to discuss it with Zehra.
Ömer is in the study. Nihat arrives and asks for some papers. Ömer takes them from the drawer. With it, there is the CD Alev left when she was leaving. Nihat wonders what is on it. Ömer says he does not want it in anyone's hands. Nihat takes it and wants to see it. He promises to get rid of it. Ömer's mind is somewhere else. He leaves. Nihat looks at the CD and realizes it is a photo of the contract Ömer had prepared for Zehra to sign before their marriage. He wants to hide it from Ayşe.
Ömer goes into the living room. Zehra is talking with Ayşe. He thinks she is telling her about the divorce. He tries to intervene and then realizes Zehra just wanted to talk to her about the ring her grandmother recently gave her. Zehra later tells him, he has once more proven to her that he does not trust her. Did she not tell him, that she sould wait for him to explain everything to Ayşe first? Ömer is stumped.
Nihat goes into the bedroom to say goodbye to Ayşe. Ayşe talks about starting her own business with Zehra. Nihat inadvertently drops the CD beside the bed and the night table.
Ömer gets in his car and drives off beating himself up over disappointing Zehra again. His state of mind makes him unfit for driving and he is about to drive head to head into a truck driving in the opposite direction.
