Caray, Caray!

Looks like I'm off the hook for a Tuesday recap. I'm grateful Telemundo is going with election coverage because I'll be glued to my TV looking at both California and nationwide results. I was expecting to burn the midnight oil finding time for a recap.

So...I'm offering to do one on Thursday. As some of you know, I have my Spanish class for two hours every Wednesday and would prefer not to recap on Wednesdays. Any takers for Wednesday?

I’m not able to do Wednesdays but think I agreed to Monday? Unless someone else is able to, I can give it a best effort.

Monday, pt. 1 of 3
I'm not sure where we are on recappers, but here's one for tonight, just in case. Very sorry if someone else was planning on doing this.

Devin and Aslan chat at the café. He talks of the love they have for each other but his family needs him. She agrees to go with him with a condition- when he finds out who did the shooting, he will not take revenge. She wants his word before she goes home with him. He thinks about it but after a long pause, it’s clear he can’t do it. She tells him as much, that he doesn’t really want to clean up the family business. He says nothing and she leaves him in the café to think about what a stupid thing he just did, letting her go.

Yagmur and Eko snuggle up in the hospital bed. I don’t know if this will end well for Eko but I’m hopeful for both of them.

Turgot and the other guy (it’s not on my cheatsheet) drive up to something and hide weapons under their jackets. Guy working there says they have to go, but they bash him in the head instead and enter, armed and ready for a fight. Shooting happens. They are about to enter the building when shots fire out. In the end, they get in and ask the guy they just shot in the arm about Ati. He doesn’t know what they’re talking about, until a little convincing from Turgot who put a gun in the guy’s mouth.

Aslan is home with Mommy, who asks if she’s coming. It’s just the two of them at The Table. She asks who could have done this. He responds, “You”. (He's accusing her?) Then she points out says her son is there but Devin, no. She tells him to look her in the eyes and demands to know if he is going to seek revenge against her mother. Is that right? this is an odd conversation even for Hulya and why is he even there? After telling Devin that his family need him, it seems his mom doesn’t. Maybe he could just work on helping Leyla and Ceylan move out since they are adults and shouldn’t have to stay. It’s a commercial and I’m rambling. Sorry.

Tolga is on him phone at midnight when Leyla enters the room. He starts grabbing at her and she responds with some irritable aggression. “You want this?” She pushes a kiss on him and then starts to vomit, as any of us would. But I assume this means she’s pregnant?

Devin reads an article about their blood wedding.

Turgot, who I am growing fond of, is waiting for Devin while eating in the car. When she comes down, he offers her one of his “tostadas”. Not sure what these really are but they are not tostadas- they look more like empanadas or stuffed bread of some kind. She takes one. He asks her for an easier time today please and tells her he’s a little afraid of her (as he should be). They chat.

Aslan is still at The House and The Table. Ceylan has earphones on trying to ignore everyone and listen to her music. Grandma asks Aslan about his bride. He lies that she left early but Grandma points out that she wasn’t there last night. Grandma gets in a dig to Hulya about her reign ending. Leyla skips breakfast and says it’s time for her to go. Aslan tells her to go with a couple guys and Hulya wants to go with her as well. Leyla says “com mucho gusto” but I’m not sure she means it. As they’re leaving, Aslan stops mom to apologize for what he said the day before. He asks if he can get a smile and she says no, but they’re all good.

Monday, pt. 2 of 3

Devin goes to Ilkay’s place (her shrink friend). She asks Turgot to wait in the car, or maybe said he could go?, but he won’t. She finally asks him if he is ok with waiting outside the apartment. He agrees. And who is there waiting inside but Cihan!

Leyla and Hulya are at the gravesite of her ex, I think? Leyla questions her about the family and how she is treated and and what is normal. It’s a heart to heart about her mother not loving her, but it doesn’t work because Hulya doesn’t have a heart. Hulya walks away and gets in the car to wait for Leyla.

Ati, the filmmaker in hiding, is at some big house on top of a hill talking on the phone about how no one will find him there. We hear a helicopter in the background so yea, he was wrong. What’s this?, he wonders and walks over to the copter where he sees a henchman and Aslan get out. He runs away into the house but it’s got lots of glass and glass in Turkey breaks. He ends up in the garage running from the henchman but when the door opens, Aslan is there. He tells Aslan they can resolve this by talking. One of the henchmen puts a black bag over his head.

Cihan welcomes Devin to the family. Cihan asks if he should call her doctor or friend, are they in session? She says no, and he can call her whatever he wants. She asks if Aslan has killed someone and she wants the truth. He shows her a book and says “you know”. The book is Machiavelli. Cihan isn’t clear about the actual answer but he talks about power and how Devin loves Aslan.

Meanwhile, Aslan and his men are in the helicopter with Ati. They fly over the sea and the bag is put back over his head when they open the door and hold him out of it while he begs for his life. I was sure Aslan would pull him back in, but nope. He pushes Ati out. So much for that Soykan documentary.

But never mind because turns out the copter had moved to a spot just a few feet over solid ground- a cemetery -and Ati is fine. But probably cancelling the Soykan film anyway. He cries.

Cihan tells Devin she has an enemy and has to fight. He’s referring to Hulya. He tells her she has to go to the house and fight Hulya and some day she’ll understand what it is to be a Soykan. He also says it doesn’t matter if Aslan has killed someone. And since they are talking so openly, she says, she wants to ask about his father. He moves to sit on the table right in front of her but doesn’t respond. She gives him the book back and leaves. She walks past Turgot and gets in the car. She ignores him when he asks if she’s ok and calls someone.

Yagmur gets the call and gets up from Eko’s bed and out to the hall to take it. The pills fell out of her pocket and Eko finds it. Devin asks about Eko and their mother, who Yagmur forgot about. She tells Devin about the selling of their house. Devin is ticked that she’s just finding out about this now but she’ll figure it out, and directs Turgot to head to her mom’s house.

Eko grills Yagmur about the pills and thinks she stayed with him for the drugs. She’s angry and offended and yells at him. She tells him “vete al diablo” and storms out.

Monday, pt. 3 of 3

Devin’s parents are fighting outside the house. Nese is upset at having the leave, Ergun doesn’t care. Devin send Nese inside and Ergun says he heard about the wedding and asks if she’s ok. So now you care about your daughters? He’s annoyed at her but then takes a call.

Aslan talks to Tio Ibo who is chopping up some meat at his restaurant. Aslan tells Ibo that someone called Ati to flee after the shooting. Looks like all the guests at the restaurant have had their bills paid so they leave immediately so Aslan can continue his talk with Ibo in private.

Aslan makes accusations at Ibo but Ibo isn’t having it. He didn’t do anything wrong. Aslan reminds him his own mother was there. What kind of man is he? What kind of son? Ibo warns him not to go to far or he’ll lose everything. Aslan warns right back. The head henchman whose name I don’t remember shows Aslan a photo of a criminal and tells him about this but someone will have to help out with the convo. Aslan remembers the conversation with Devin when she asked for him to promise to not get revenge. I couldn’t tell if Aslan knows that Ibo did the shooting or if he’s making threats to find out what happened.

And now we have two days to discuss and correct what I missed because tomorrow we are off so everyone can at least celebrate bipartisanly about not having to see or listen to or throw away any more political ads for at least a year. Yay!
