Howdy from the Alamo City, CarayCaray Family. I missed last night's episode due to watching the wild ending of the 2025 College Football Playoff Semifinal: Fiesta Bowl, where 10.) Miami (13-2) defeated 6.) Ole Miss (13-2), 31-27 last night.

Anything crazy happening in last night's episode?

I just watched the episode, as I watched US figure skating last night (and checked the Miami Ole Miss score occasionally).

Cihan told Alya about his father's death at C's wedding with Meriem. The wedding did not become official. Meriem moved to Germany and eventually married some else. Boran had killed the instigator of his father's murder (Demir's uncle was the instigator).
Cihan spirited Boran out of the country, took care of the family and eventually married Seyda in recompense.

Demir told Zerrin that he only married her for vengeance for Seyda's marrying C. Demir would not touch Zerrin. The next day Kaya went to Demir's house and gave Zerrin back his promise ring (worn on the right hand during an engagement).

Nare announced that she will divorce Ozcan.

The Alboras don't want Alya to work for Demir. After discussion, Alya sats she has patients and responsibilities. Cihan acquiesces that she can go to work because he has a plan. (She was going to work in any case because she works for the hospital, not directly for Demir.)

Thank you Anastasia for the mini recap! I have lots of thoughts, but no time today! Mañana!

Thanks, Anastasia! I was very glad to finally hear the whole Meryem story. I know the subtitles spelled it as you did, but I think the Turks spell it with a Y. I was happy to see Cihan didn't fly into a rage when he found Alya there. He did eventually ask her how she got in, and she explained it, I thought, gracefully, as being about her curiosity.

High-handed Sadakat was trying to order Nare to return to Ozkan the jerk, but Cihan shut her down. She wants Cihan to be divorced, but Nare to stay with a real loser lest she end up with Sahin, the son of her archenemy. I'm grateful for every scene she's NOT in. I could be wrong, but I'm not predicting this woman to change like I've seen a couple of other horrible mothers in law do in other dizis.

Kaya was perfect in his scene with Demir. I saw Demir's face fall a bit because he was looking forward to Kaya (and Cihan, mostly) suffering over his taking away an Albora bride. Now he's got a bride he doesn't want to touch, and Kaya is on the path to healing and moving on. Of course, the fact that Demir doesn't plan on marital relations might well mean that eventually Kaya and Zerrin can be together. And this is especially true since several of us here think she might be pregnant from her one night with Kaya.

I'm late to commenting tonight as I had a lovely day in San Francisco with a friend who lives there. It's 26 miles from my house. We went to the new Sunset Dunes park on the Great Highway. Last year they created a special park without any car traffic. They're doing lots of restoring the vegetation that keeps the dunes from drifting away. The sun was shining and we walked and walked near the Pacific. Then we went to Hook Fish Co. for fish and chips.
