Re-posting my late in the day comment from Page 1:

Just making it under the wire until the page changes. Thanks so much, Niecie, for the short and sweet recap. It can be brief and well done, as I've said here more than once.

Yep, I have a feeling Serap will not take kindly to her father's warming to Bedri. In the first place, anyone with an ounce of intelligence can see what a loser he is. Also regarding Serap, she's still not a model of mental health in spite of having a husband who adores her. She took a lot of satisfaction in her new husband shooting Hulya's sharpshooter. She's still kind of a twisted sister.

I don't remember Hulya burning that guy, but her crimes are mounted so high that I'm not surprised it slipped out of my memory bank.

Yes, the way the scene was presented, Aslan gave Hulya a chance to fess up and get maybe a partial forgiveness. But she still thought she could tough it out. After all, Aslan (to the fury of many of us here) has forgiven, moved back in, overlooked, etc. etc. SO many times. I'd like to see Aslan make a visit to his disgusting father-in-law.

I was disappointed they didn't show what was mentioned, Serap moving Melek's mother and child...somewhere. Did they say Bulgaria? And Aslan planned to intercept Serap's plans. FREE LEYLA!!!

Niecie, thanks VERY much for your very helpful mini-cap!

Yesterday: We are family and family sticks together no matter what.

Today: Drop dead, family.

All their coming together, Hulu’s and Nedret especially, seemed to crumble once Asian woke up. Maybe someone should shoot him again?

What are the chances Hulu’s wasn’t the one to set up the medical lie about Devin’s fertility, and was instead conspiring with Ergun about something else? 10%? She’s seemed surprised about that, but is also a big ole liar so hard to tell. Still not sure Nedret can be trusted. And yes Novelera- WHAT ABOUT LEYLA??

#53 - Part 1 of 2

Shocked by Aslan’s metaphorical cutting of his umbilical cord, Hulya rises from the dining table and collapses. Conveniently she breaks her fall on a cushy sofa before landing on the floor. She’s given an MRI, but only Devin thinks something could be wrong with her. The rest assume a bid for pity.

Devin takes the wheel and drives Aslan to the couples therapist she mentioned last episode. He behaves like a jackass. Is this supposed to demonstrate he’s a real man?

Nedret is frantic because Bedri didn’t come home. He’s still crashed on Ilyas’ sofa. Ilyas picks up Bedri’s phone and tells her to come there.

Finally the check Ibo gave Hulya shows up, the one he got from Ilyas for betraying his nephew. Whether it was signed by Ilyas and endorsed by Ibo or Ibo deposited it and wrote his own, we don’t know. It looks like it cleared the bank because Hulya comes home with a suitcase she tells Ceylin is full of money. While en route with the check Cagri tells her the house in the country will be auctioned tomorrow. She has to make a deposit to show collateral.

Spitting fire Nedret comes to Ilyas’ new place. He tells her Bedri needs to sleep in his father’s house at least once.

Turgut tells Aslan they’ll leave for Edirne tomorrow to rescue Melek’s mother and daughter before Serap gets her into Bulgaria. Mr. Google tells me Edirne is 157 miles from Istanbul and, indeed, near Bulgaria.

Nedret sticks Ilyas’ knife into the DNA test. He gives her one day to tell Bedri, or he’ll do so.

Oh boy! Devin comes to see her rotten father. She gives him her recent fertility test and he realizes she knows. She tells him her hopes for a child began to live the same day her father died to her. She yells what we’re all thinking: How could he be so evil and bad as to do this to his own child? He shushes her. Guess Hulya’s money didn’t thicken the walls in his clinic. He has the gall to say he did it for her own good, getting her away from her mafia husband. Just then some officials from the medical board arrive to say his license is suspended. They show a report showing the things he’s accused of. Devin, on the way out: Hasta nunca, papá

#53 - Part 2 of 2

I’m nervous about Aslan assuring Devin AND Leyla over the phone that he’ll have Turgut rescue Melek’s mother and daughter.

Aslan meets with Seyfi, the guy with the burned face. Someone said Hulya did it. Can anyone refresh my memory? Aslan wants the guy to go ask Bedri what he plans with Ilyas once “this one” is over. He wants a video of Bedri’s response. We don’t see if the guy agrees.

As we predicted, Serap wakes Bedri and looks at him like something to scrape off the bottom of her shoe.

Hulya brings home the money, kind of snarling at Ceylin. [Ceylin, what? You sat at that dinner table and heard what she did to your brother’s wife (and also to your brother) and you’re all perky, Hi Mom?]

Hulya is seething about Nedret being behind the big reveal to Devin about the fake test, so she goes to confront her. She asks her if she’s Devin’s hada madrina (fairy godmother). To once again show how twisted Hulya’s mind is, when Nedret asks how she could do that to her son, the reply is that Devin has harmed Aslan. Nedret gets right in her face and tells her she’ll suffocate him with her love, and then he'll leave.

Bedri has come home in a nasty mood. Nedret tries to talk to him, but Hulya butts in. She tells him that Nedret was thrown out of her home. She was a rather stupid girl who fell in love. And the man she loved wasn’t your father. The guy she loved abandoned her. Her father forced her to marry your father. When he leaves Hulya more or less says tit for tat about getting sons to turn against their mothers. Nedret leans in and says she’ll kill Hulya herself.

Yagmur gives Aslan some keys.

Aslan and Devin fly to Urla (338 miles from Istanbul). They try for the mile high club but are busted by the stewardess. When they arrive at a nicely furnished house, wine already set out, Aslan tells her it’s their new home. [Why do I wonder if this is the house Hulya wanted to buy at auction?]
