Besir witnesses a long-haired woman, whom he mistakes for Nihal, and Behlül kissing on the balcony. Only Deniz realizes that Behlül and Bihter were kissing each other in the middle of the night. Besir openly confronts Behlül with what he saw. Peyker, on the other hand, confronts Bihter with her suspicion. However, she believes that the attraction is one-sided, namely that Behlül alone is interested in her sister.
The rumor that Behlül might have had a fatal accident in Azerbaijan brings the Ziyagil family in dismay. Much to everyone's delight Behlül is still alive. After hearing parts of a phone conversation, Nihat suspects that Behlül has an affair and therefore wanted to get back to Istanbul as quickly as possible. His wife Peyker realizes that the woman could be her sister.
Bihter feels cornered when Behlül changes his mind at the last minute not to go away with her. She immediately calls her mother so that she can get the letter Bihter wrote for her husband before he can read it. Adnan wants Behlül to be an important part of his firm and sends him to Azerbaijan with Nihat for business matters.
Nihal sadly witnesses Adnan and Bihter's quarrels. Adnan cannot understand what Bihter was doing in Deniz' room. He is forced to tell Bihter that her mother tried to kill herself and that Deniz is the one who rescued Firdevs. In an attempt to leave everything behind Bihter suggests running away with Behlül.
