Bihter an Peyker are still hardly talking to each. Nonetheless, Peyker still visits her sister to let her know that Adnan has been informed about Hilmi's alleged rumor that Bihter and Behlül have an affair. In the meantime, Adnan suspects a spy in his environment who keeps Hilmi up-to-date about the Ziyagil household.
To anger Behlül and his inability to stand by her side Bihter returns to her husband. Firdevs - who vigorously tries to even and emend Bihter and Adnan's marriage - even plans a grand wedding anniversary celebration for her daughter. In the meantime Hilmi finds out that Bither was drunk when the car accident happened. An information he is more than ready to use to his advantage.
Bihter realizes that it must be Besir who saw her with Behlül. Especially when Besir tries to talk to Adnan in private, her suspicion becomes true. In the meantime, Behlül's former fiancé, Elif, has spread the rumor that Behlül and Nihal are only distant cousins and thus secret lovers. While the entire family is angry, Nihal seems to like the idea.
