.
To catch up from last week, at the marina, cucumbers were somehow pumped into a gas truck(or something like that) , thwarting the plan of Cihan and Ilyas. And something is going on with Ilyas and Nedret but we don’t know what yet. Is he the father of her sketchy son, Bedrik? Maybe! But we don’t know. Then Nedret, after giving Aslan marina money, moved into grandma’s house where everyone else lives now, along with her sketchy son. Nedret also brought along Asuman who we thought might be her daughter but is really a follower or something of Nedret? It doesn’t really matter because she and Turgut had a meet-cute and we all want good things (and Asuman) for Turgut. And Nedret, iffy as she may be, is there to cause grief for Hulya, which should be fun because Hulya is still trying to get custody of her grandkids for no good reason. And Ibo has proven himself to be a big dumb jerk who deserves Hulya.
.
Morning at The New House. Devin dreams about Aslan and calls out his name in her sleep. He thinks this is funny. And then when she wakes, ask if she was having a nightmare. He’s a funny guy. He tells her to take a cold shower because she’s a sweating from her “nightmare” haha.
.
Hulya makes it clear to the servants that she is the boss of the house and they shouldn’t listen to anyone else in the house. Then she makes this rule extra clear to the Cook that no one else runs her kitchen.
.
Some guy tells Hulya that Aslan bought the house that Nese is living in and gave it to Nese. Hulya tells the guy to turn Aslan in and tell them they are using Nese to launder money. Aslan comes outside and threatens her again about the Leyla situation and tells her if she and Uncle Ibo are plotting against Leyla, he will not only burn down the house, he will burn the two of them. Seems like evicting her would be better but I’m not mafia family so maybe this just isn’t done.
.
Ibo is plotting against Leyla by getting her drugs that I assume she won’t know about until it’s too late. Ibo then goes to see Cihan about getting his money back because the marina plan didn’t work. Cihan wants to know if he’ll give it to Hulya. Ibo then threatens to tell the cops where Ilyas is if he doesn’t get his money back. I’m hoping Ibo isn’t long for this world.
.
Asuman has cooked breakfast, despite Hulya’s threat, and she serves Nedret and Ceylan and then sits down herself. They have a nice little conversation. But then Bedri finds out Aslan has already left for the marina and takes off. Nedret tells him that if Aslan is the jefe, so is he. She then blesses him and gives him something to drink (feeding it to him?) and he leaves.
.
Serap shows up at her house as Ibo is leaving and I think we know now who attacked her when she was a kid. She is later mad at Cihan because she didn’t want him walking out of there alive.
.
More threats between Hulya and Nedret. Blah blah blah.

Monday, pt. 2 of 3
.
Bedri enters a meeting that Aslan is in at the marina. He takes the other side of the table. The meeting continues with Aslan running it. He assures the group that everything is safe at the marina, etc. But then Bedri Shakra, co-owner of the marina, as he introduces himself, butts into the conversation. He doesn’t make much of an impression so far.
.
Eko and Turgut talk about Bedri’s father who disappeared. Maybe he was killed, maybe this or that, no one knows. (Maybe he’s Ilyas???) The meeting has then broken up, and Bedri and Aslan talk about the business. Bedri pulls out a calculator, does some math and shows Aslan that he should get rid of troublesome tenants.
.
Nedret has a couch delivered to the house while Hulya has a chair delivered. This is fun. Furniture fight! Nedret wins and gets her sofa. Devin greets Nedret sweetly and doesn’t say boo to Hulya. Hulya follows Devin out asking if she has sent the kids away. She tosses in a subtle threat about Nese and Yagmur, but Devin isn’t bothered.
.
Nese is playing cards with friends, having a good ole time, when the doorbell rings. It’s cops.
.
Aslan gets up from the meeting table and sits closer to Bedri and he is not happy about all that math. And also the meddling. He talks about his spiraling temper that he’s having a hard time keeping in check. He doesn’t want to have to remind Bedri that he’s number 2. Aslan tosses his calculator on the floor and tells Bedri to leave. Bedri has an actual number 2 tattooed on the back of his neck. (What??)
.
Nese’s house. The ladies quickly hide the cards and cash and Nese goes to the door to see what’s up. The cop tells her she’s accused of money laundering and that her case is being investigated. She’s ordered to go to the station in the next three days to give her statement. The “friends” take their leave and Nese may not have friends anymore. She rushes to call Devin, ordering her to the house.
.
Aslan gives Leyla an update on Melek, but Leyla’s not looking good. Sweating, she ends the call and splashes water on her face. Then she hallucinates seeing Melek, but it turns out to be the older woman asking if she’s ok. She lies and says yes.
.
Asland and Ibo have a talk on Ibo’s boat. Aslan asks Uncle Ibo if he was one who told Cihan about the delivery because they know it was an insider job. Aslan eventually loses his temper and punches one of Ibo’s guys into the water. The Lads (Isko and Turgut) stop the other guy from going after Aslan and a tap is secretly placed on the boat by Isko.
.
Nese and Devin talk. Nese blames Devin for all this because it’s her marriage that got them into this. And Nese tells her and Yagmur that she called Sevilay to tell her everything that has been on her mind all these years. Nese being Nese.

Monday, pt. 3 of 3
.
Devin recalls all of Hulya’s veiled threats against her family and the lightbulb goes off.
.
Back at The House, Bedret has apparently invited a whole coven of women and Hulya is as welcoming as you’d expect. So not at all. Hulya confronts Nedret who tells her they have all heard about her good fortune and have come to congratulate her because they love her. And if Hulya wats them out, she can kick them out. Hulya is defeated and goes to her room.
.
Devin tells Nese that Hulya created this problem. Then Devin’s dad is outside yelling for Nese to get out here. He’s mad that Nese called his wife. Lots of fighting in the street and I think the neighbors would like for everyone to move out of this house. He says something about her trying to kill herself and that makes her stop yelling, but I missed the details.
.
Hulya, having recovered from her earlier humiliation, starts tossing stuff out of the window upstairs at Nedret and her guests who are having lunch at a table outside. Nedret is reminded of the time her father kicked her out of the house and tossed her things out of the window at her, which I assume was Hulya’s intention. Hulya yells out of the window that the house is hers and demands that the women leave. Nedret sits silently and says nothing while Asuman takes charges of escorting the women out and telling them they will do this another time.
.
Bedri is hosting a bbq when Aslan shows up to the festivities. Sounds like these people having lunch were the tenants? And that Bedri doubled their fee? Aslan says the contracts weren’t final and there is some posturing between these two. I’m not really sure what Bedrik is trying to do here, other than annoy Aslan.
.
Nedret is silent for some time at the outside table. Hulya has come down to harass her more, telling her she will kick her out every day that she’s there. Nedret closes her eyes and remembers being given a letter by Hulya that she is not part of the family and other terrible things. Hulya tells her if she’s strong enough to stay at the house, she’ll be strong enough to relive the torment every day. No one would blame Bed
.
Yagmur calls Aslan on her way t the marina. She fills him in on the Nese situation. He tells the Lads it’s something new every day, gives them their orders, and goes off.
.
Serap and her grandma look at pics of Bedri and grandma asks what’s that on his neck. (Good question!) Ilyas asks why she hates the Soykan so much. She lies and says it’s because they tried to kill him, isn’t that enough.
.
Leyla loses it and starts a fight with another prisoner. They think she’s gone crazy.
.
Seems that Elif has accepted Eko’s proposal. Yagmur walks by, and a couple other guys say dumb guy things to her. Eko, naturally, gets up to defend her. But Bedri gets there first and threatens the dumb guys. Eko watches this while Elif walks away. Eko catches up to her and she says to be sure what he wants before calling her again and she gives him back the ring. Good for her!
.
Aslan gets to the house and Devin asks why he bought her the house without telling her. They talk while Nese is in the kitchen and pulls a knife out of the drawer. Sound of glass breaking and Devin and Aslan go up to the kitchen to see what that was. And we’re out!

So no show tomorrow so Telenovela can show How the Grinch Stole Xmas (Como el Grinch Robo la Navidad?). But the show is back on Xmas Day, which seems odd. But have a happy holiday everyone however you celebrate. But whatever you're doing, I hope it includes some of that delicious-looking Turkish food.

Ack! Part 3 disappeared. Maybe someone can make it come back? I'll try to post again below, just in case.
 

K, saw your message and have restored it.
