Cihan signs the divorce petition. Alya leaves, Cihan follows her out. Mine looked pleased at first then not so pleased when Cihan leaves with Alya.

CihAl walk through the street. They argue. She needs to find a lawyer. He will take her to one. She says she’ll take care of it, he should stay with Mine.
Alya is expecting a quicky divorce after one hearing but Cihan dashes her hopes. Just because he signed the paper doesn’t mean he will agree to the divorce in court. That paper means nothing. Alya is so furious that she rips up the document and throws it on the ground.

Alya says she will leave with Deniz after the divorce. She’s ready to play Cihan’s game of will she go and will he try to stop her. He reminds her their agreement is to stay married until Deniz turns 18. She says he hasn’t complied with their agreement and adds if he tries to stop her, she will accept Sada’s offer.

What offer? Alya tells him Sada offered her a konak. Cihan is pissed. He forbids her from leaving the konak and worse—from leaving her room! We’ll see about that, Alya exclaims and starts walking again. He tries to stop her from getting into a cab but she gets in and goes.

Cihan informs Erol about Alya’s divorce plans. He tells Erol to make sure no lawyer will take Alya’s case. Erol mocks but Cihan says make it happen.
Mine calls Cihan while she’s driving. She says she never pressured Alya to divorce. He tells her he’s not getting divorced.

Alya passes a law office and asks the driver to stop. When the lawyer finds out she’s married to Cihan Albora he hesitates. Then he gets a call from Erol –don’t take Alya’s case. The lawyer makes an excuse for not taking the case and Alya understands what’s going on.

Cihan comes home and goes straight to Sada. He rips into her for bargaining with Alya. Nare and Kaya enter the room. Cihan proclaims he’s not getting a divorce. A divorce? Sada says this happened because Alya found out about “that woman”. Ummu passes by and hears this. Sada tells Cihan that he will divorce. Don’t get your hopes up, he replies. And he won’t let Alya and Deniz leave the konak.

Sada blames this situation on Cihan. He wants Sada to back off and threatens to give Alya the passports so she can leave with Deniz.

Nare and Kaya speak to Cihan about the divorce. Alya arrives. She tells them that Cihan has threatened lawyers not to take the case. Cihan asks to speak privately with Alya.

Alya wants to take the passports to the bank for safe keeping. She will not be stopped from leaving. He says he will stop her. This keeps going back and forth. They are both very stubborn.

Sada asks to speak with Alya. She tells Alya she did the right thing. Alya says not so quick, your son doesn’t want a divorce. If you remain firm, Sada replies, he will have no choice. She offers to find a lawyer for Alya.
Alya sets Sada straight. She doesn’t want to divorce to get a konak. She doesn’t want to be married to Cihan any longer. She could rent her own home if she wanted. But when she gets divorced, she’s leaving with her son.
Sada says it’s a shame that Alya still doesn’t understand. Deniz is not leaving.

Alya nods. Okay, I’ll rent an apartment. My son and I will stay at the konak on weekdays and at my apartment on weekends. I don’t want property from you. Sada agrees and asks, what about a lawyer? Alya says she’ll handle that, too. Nare walks in. Sada tells her not to talk Alya out of divorcing.

So the first thing Nare says to Alya is—don’t do this. Alya replies, this was a mistake from the beginning, I can’t take it anymore. Nare says that Cihan was going to leave Mine. Then she asks, do you have feelings for my brother?

That’s absurd, Alya replies. I’m a woman, too, Nare says, I understand. You wouldn’t have acted this way because of Mine. Alya is not admitting anything. I don’t feel anything for your brother. Are you sure, Nare asks. Alya says she’s sure but doesn’t look it. Nare asks, what if he has feelings for you?

Alya answers, just because that’s what you want, doesn’t make it true. He has a lover. Nare asks, if he didn’t? Nothing would change, Alya says, I wanted a divorce from the beginning. I reacted to Mine because I didn’t want to be an obstacle. You all misinterpreted it. I need to find a good lawyer who isn’t afraid of your brother.

Hasan wants to start shipments again. Cihan says he’ll consider it and asks Hasan to give him a minute to speak with Erol and Kaya. Cihan asks Erol about Sahin. Erol’s been in touch with Sahin’s lawyer. They want to go with self-defense and if they could find a recording, it would be easy. [We know Demir has that recording.]

Kadir comes to tell Cihan they have Sedat. Kaya is ready to go but Cihan shouts at him to stay.

Fidan visits Ecmel. He wants to tell Sahin about Demir and Zerrin but he doesn’t want him to find out that Demir is blackmailing them with the recording. Sahin enters the visitation area. Ecmel tells Sahin he’s worried that Sedat will send someone to stab him.

Sahin asks why Zerrin didn’t come. Fidan says she’s ashamed because she’s the reason you’re in jail. Ecmel tells Sahin she burned you and herself. But Demir took responsibility. Sahin isn’t happy to hear this. Your sister was kidnapped, Ecmel snaps back, should I put out an announcement? Demir proposed. May Allah bless him a thousand times!

What nonsense, Sahin answers, isn’t there anyone else? Zerrin will not accept this. What else can we do, Fidan says, the whole world knows she was kidnapped. No man will want her. Ecmel says, we already work with Demir. He will also be our groom, inshallah. The girl was kidnapped. I can’t lift my head from the ground. I can’t show my face in public. [guess he means the prison population.] Sahin wants to speak with Zerrin.

Somehow, Nare has turned the convo to Sahin. Alya tells her don’t worry, even though your families are enemies, you know you remain in Sahin’s heart. He hasn’t given up on Cihan or Kaya and they will do anything for Sahin. Things will go back to where they were. At least, that’s what I want. Nare hugs Alya.

Cihan arrives to the spot where his men are holding Sedat. He puts his gun to the top of Sedat’s head. You will not come near Kaya… and you won’t touch Sahin. You will accept the kan parası I offered for your father. If you do these things, you will live… if you don’t…

Cihan fires his gun close to Sedat’s ear. Sedat holds his ear in pain. Cihan tells Sedat to raise his head. He points to his gun. This will be the last sound you hear. Think about it. Ask your elders if necessary. Cihan walks back to the car but Kadir stays behind and gives Sedat the death stare before leaving.

Cihan and crew leave and like the proverbial bad penny, Demir shows up. He laughs, it’s a good offer, no? Sedat answers back, these people killed my father. How much is his life worth?

Demir knows that Mahmut’s life can’t be paid with money. My friend Mahmut was a great man. But something good came out of it. You became the leader of the aşiret (tribe) now, didn’t you? Things like that don’t happen at your age. Look at me. I’m still waiting for my father to die. Don’t waste your time. Take the kan parası and use it for your benefit. You’ll become the king of the aşiretler (tribes). But only if you don’t touch Sahin. If you don’t accept, I’ll stop supporting you. You’ll fall to Cihan.

Demir adds one more thing. I’m awaiting word on a marriage arrangement. If that woman accepts, we will sit down and sign an agreement. Sound good? Demir leaves.

Ummu gives Deniz a photo album to show to his mom. Alya says she can take a quick look before going to work. The album is full of happy times in Albora. Lots of pics of Deniz, Alya and Cihan together. The boy says, we look happy, don’t we? Alya is affected. Alya says she has to go. Deniz wants to continue looking at the photos.

Alya walks out and Ummu and Pakize see her leave. Ummu comments, that woman is paler than a ghost. Those pictures must have confused her. I’d bet on it. Sada walks by. What do you mean? What would you bet on? Ummu avoids answering.

Cihan shows up at Mine’s place. Can I come in? My door is always open for you, she replies. She looks hopeful. Cihan won’t let her take his coat. He wants nothing to drink. He asks her to sit next to him so they can talk.

Okay, but she has a question for him first. If you weren’t getting divorced, why did you sign the papers? She answers her own question. It’s because you were hurt. When Alya placed those papers in front of us, it hurt you. You were devastated, and so furious, that you signed the papers to hurt her back. Not only that, you knew it would work because you realized that you are not indifferent to her, right?

Cihan says that’s not true. Mine asks, then why did you sign? To give me false hope? To make a fool of me? He answers, I did it so she’d understand that despite that, we aren’t getting divorced. Mine is incredulous. She asked for a divorce. Why don’t you let her go?

Cihan clears his throat. Mine… we need to end this relationship.

And we are out.
