Dondi356, Kat in SC, Halimacandy, Kirby, Judy, Darcy, UA, & Co: Won't be able to post the recap for this evening's episode due to watching the 2025 College Football Playoff Semifinal: Fiesta Bowl between 10.) Miami (12-2) vs 6.) Ole Miss (13-1).

 

"CASILLAS"
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?
 

Lejos 1-8-26

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.

Howdy from the Alamo City CarayCaray Family. Here's my super-short recap of last night's episode.

*Ladies & Gentlemen: We're now in the Ultimos Semanas stage of the spin-off.

*Nutjob Rancho torturing Diana with a blowtorch. Unless there's a rescue attempt, I'm afraid Diana will NOT be around next season.

*Slick Horacio is so damn slippery with his typical filibustering in justifying his complicity of having Diana captured.

*Paco: You might want to accept the reality of NEVER seeing Diana ever again, buddy!

*Ismael & Co., making plans on rescuing Diana.

*That damn Annoying female TV news reporter is still ANNOYING!

Thanks for the # 51 highlights, Anastasia. Like you, I fell behind a bit because I was watching sporting events. I still have to watch Friday's episode and I hope to have the recap up by tonight.

Don't know, Kaya might be playing a longer game and is throwing everyone off by what he did. I can't see him giving up on Zerrin just like that. And if she's pregnant...

Since Alya asked the question, "what if Meryem returned?" I wonder if she will.

Wow, Cihan threatens Mine. If she blabs about his private life, she'll have to leave the city. Exactly what does that mean? How would he do this?

Ha, Alya is contrite. Is she "punishing" herself by putting the locket back on and sleeping in the bed?

 

The bed's mattress and bedding has been changed so she can rationalize it's no longer Cihan's bed. (Altho it's still in his suite.) The locket does have a photo of Deniz - why not put it back on? I think she considers the locket as a birthday present from a friend - why not wear it? The family however, sees it as a personal gift from a man, and they give it a lot more significance than she does.
Cultural difference.

I just wrote a summary and lost it just b4 posting. This has happened before.

So - I'll try again but shorter.

Alya has been getting phone calls that she ignores. Eventually she deletes that listing. Cihan and Sahin meet. Cihan will give Sahin some land. Sahin pledges not to work for Demir and not to smuggle drugs and heavy arms, because Alboras don't do that. Demir has been using hospital assets for major smuggling of drugs and arms and has a shipment that night. Cihan finds out, and his gang hijack the truck. Cihan and Demir meet. Cihan trades the truck etc. for the hospital (presumably with a pledge of not notifying the authorities of the smuggling?). Cihan, now owning the hospital, fires Ugur. Ugur is not happy.

Thanks for starting, Anastasia, but I have a standing commitment to recapping Fridays and I intend to keep it. It's a little delayed but it will be up this evening.

 

Thanks - When I am watching on TV I don't take notes. Like you, it's easier to do a recap when you can stop the film. You, Dondi, are always able to provide a lot of helpful detail.
