Caray, Caray!

Aras’ house key fits a rustic looking door. Later on we learn his surname is Atesoglu and that the house is on a farm that belongs to his family.

Bedbug Volkan shows up at Asya’s door once again without calling. He’s trying to play Mr. Nice Guy and is taking some of the blame for Ali’s behavior. Well, they’re doing a good job of showing Ali’s teenaged angst; he continues to treat his mother like crap. We get lots of hints about his loving the idea of England. I think it’s even odds he runs away before this one is over. While the three of them are there, Ali drops the bomb that Volkan rented a house in that very neighborhood.

After Volkan and Ali leave Asya calls Aras. He starts lying right off the bat, saying he’s out for a walk, when he's actually there in his family home.

Derin and Leyla talk. The upshot of several of these conversations is that Derin keeps playing defense, blocking every idea Leyla comes up with to look for Aras.

A+A meet at the same old guest house, not his family home as they tried to get us to believe for a nanosecond. Asya tells him about Volkan’s move nearby.

Volkan pretends to have a fatherly talk to Ali about how he’s treating Asya, but I think he just wants Ali to be more subtle in pressuring his mother.

Aras tells Asya that he remembers something about a blonde woman. Asya pulls back into her shell right away.

Aras comes to see Volkan at his new digs. Volkan is sarcastic to the max, while Aras starts off polite. Aras tells him that he knows what he’s doing, moving close to Asya, egging Ali on to be against him, etc. Aras tells him flat out that he loves Asya and he doesn’t plan to lose her.

Aras doesn’t know where Leyla is. He and Kadir talk. He tells Kadir that he’ll keep the amnesia thing going until he knows what Mohamed is up to. [Dondi, I saw your message about it really being Mehmet in the Turkish original, but I think I’ll just write what they say in Spanish.] Aras says that he understands that Kadir doesn’t think Leyla knows what was going on, but he’s not so sure. Aras tells Kadir to let Derya down gently; she’s too good of a person to be manipulated like that.

Derin has come into the place where Aras and Kadir are talking. She gets all girlish and giggly and asks how things are going with Asya. When she walks away, Aras tells Kadir that Derin doesn’t outright say who he is because she doesn’t want Asya to break up with him and go back with Volkan. He says that he loves Asya and he’ll clean up all the conspiracies swirling around his life and make her happy.

The fairly rotten blonde kid from the bar gets in Ali’s face again. I think Blondie is insinuating something about Asya. [What? A woman who’s been divorced for 3 years isn’t allowed to date someone?] Another fight breaks out. The blonde reaches down to pick up a rock and looks like he’s going to bash Ali in the back of the head. Aras gets between them. A crowd gathers. Asya comes up and Ali turns on her blaming her for everything. This kid needs to be grounded for a month.

There’s a meeting with two divorce lawyers, Derin, and Volkan. There’s a piece of paper with the property settlement on it. Volkan announces he’s fine with everything except one. He wants custody of Zeynep.

Novelera, thank you so much.

I am cheering for Aras, who seems more or less normal compared to most if these zany characters .However, I don't consider insipid Asya much of a prize. Whatever

Well, interest in this one seems to have disappeared, probably because the first half of it, or so, was not recapped. We only had regular recaps for Amor Valiente for all of its run. I have been putting up mini-caps but don't feel much of an obligation to continue.

Very briefly, Volkan, for some reason at the same place as Aras, Asya, and Leyla, overheard Leyla telling Kadir that her husband was right there holding hands with Asya.

He managed to find out who Leyla and Aras were and printed out some stuff. He's come to see Asya very late at night with the printouts in hand.

At one point now bratty Ali said he wanted to live with his dad, but Volkan, trying to win Asya back, brought the kid home.

Aras went to see Leyla in her hotel room. At first he faked amnesia, got her to say their marriage was perfect, and then told her she'd deceived him. It turns out she had an affair, in London I presume, and that's why Aras came to Tekirdag. The person he was on the phone with when he crashed was Leyla. He told her he was getting a divorce and left.

Novelera, thanks very much for your caps keeping Infiel going. I came to it late, but I like it very much. Asya may be depressed, but she is always dignified. She is a saint! Then we have Volkan’s smirking energy on the Leyla detective work, and Aras has quickly told lie after lie.

Thank you, novelera for recaps. You certainly are not obligated to do these and I appreciate all you have done.

I'm still watching, but am more than ready for the end. My patience is waning with shows extending past what I think should be the time to end. Lol.

Anyhow, Ali is getting real bratty again because Asya has a man interested in her. He wasn't so upset that Volkan had an affair and remarried! Ali's disrespect towards Asya is far beyond what she should tolerate. There don't seem to be consequences to his behavior. He's getting to be a poor little well-to-do punk. Enough!

Volkan, loonier than ever. Or, as the saying goes, "crazy as a bedbug". Novelera, you got it right when you said he was a bedbug!

Asya, same unemotional, flat affect. Yawn. I like Aras, and have almost forgotten the actor's previous evil, vile role in Mother.

Here's hoping something big moves the plot far forward tonight.

Novelera, thank you for the recap as Aras's background unfolds for us . Could he turn out to be a good guy who can wake up grim Asya ? Poor Aysa has had to deal with pompous Volcan, snotty Ali, and crazy Derin. No wonder she looks perpetually dazed and confused.

Thanks, novelera for keeping us current with recaps. I understand if you can't continue. I'd like to contribute some mini caps and/or more comments, but I've been falling asleep halfway through the show lately. I've been working a lot of overtime and hardly have time to catch up on what I've missed. I'm wondering if Infiel will end before LRDS 3 starts.

Thanks to all the recappers.

Ali is a huge pain in the Ass, he is suffering from raging 14 yr old testosterone and his idiot father. Can't you see Volken using Zenep at the park as a chic magnet. Poor single father with the beautiful little girl.

Yeah Volken will use Leyla the tramp, to try and get Asya back.
By the by..has Volken done any actual lucrative work in years?

Ya know I hope Derya the HIPPA ignoring medical friend has good results with that friend of Ara's.

Jeez every guy she meets is like can you introduce me to Asya? Personally I don't get it. Derya doesn't have the baggage as in annoying kid, psycho ex and a whole circus of X's exes.
