Monday 9th, Part 1
.
Rehash of Friday. In summary, everyone is being ridiculous. Then McFeyyaz calls Meryam, and she freezes, because no one in Turkey knows about blocking calls or turning off ringers. She steps out of the room to answer, but doesn’t say anything at first until Feyyaz insists she say something. He says she wants her heart, and I’m not sure he means that metaphorically. In the end, he tells her the only way she will be apart from him is by being 6 feet under. Then he asks if she ran to “that man” (Cihan). More threats and more not hanging up of the phone. Meryam sits on the patio, crying, and then passes out. Alya has somehow noticed from her sulking couch, and she runs out to check on her. The boys carry Meryam inside. Meanwhile, her Cihan necklace fell off and Sadakat picks it up. I’m sure she’ll be nice and quietly give it right back. Ha! She won’t.
.
Alya doctors Meryam inside and Cihan asks what Feyyaz said. Meryam says it’s the same as always, plus she acknowledges the threats he made when Cihan asks. He assures her that he’ll protect her. Sadakat gives him a look. Then she gives back the necklace and makes sure to hold it out so Cihan can see it. Meryam looks uncomfortable about this but Cihan, who has noticed it, says nothing. Leave that to stupid Boran to ask if it’s the necklace that Cihan gave her. He says oh, right, the one he gave her when they said only death would part them. Then, because being a jerk wasn’t enough, he has to pull out a computer with the wedding day video to show everyone where Meryam talks about how she’ll love him forever, etc. Meryam asks what he’s trying to do, but no one moves to stop him or take away the computer, or to point out that feelings change, like how his ex-wife and the rest of his family now hate him. Meryam finally has had enough and she leaves. THEN Cihan takes the computer and tosses it on the ground. The boys fight, Cihan wants to know where he got the video, Sadakat looks guilty, and Boran yells at him about being a traitor (for doing exactly what Boran asked him to do), blah blah blah.
.
Alya leaves to check on Deniz and Cihan goes after her. He tries to get her to leave the boy for the night, which she does. Then we jump to outside her apartment, where CihAl continue their argument. Alya is upset that Meryam still wears the necklace and thinks Meryam still loves him. He tries to assure her that he has made it clear to Meryam that she is his past. More silly arguing and Alya finally says she’s had enough. These two are being idiots. She heads inside and Cihan follows her, still with the arguing. The new neighbor, who might be regretting moving in here, comes out to make sure she’s ok. She says yes, but neighbor guy is concerned and asks Cihan to leave. Then he grabs Cihan’s arm to make him leave. Ooooh. This gets him a punch in the nose by Cihan and Alya yells at him more. Neighbor guy does go inside and is hopefully calling the cops. Alya calms down enough to quietly demand that Cihan leave, and he does. Neighbor guy comes out again to see if she’s ok. He’s bleeding like crazy and she says she can check on it, being a doctor. He doesn’t have a first aid kit so she invites him into her place to deal with the bloody nose.
.
Inside, he tells her couldn’t ignore the situation even though he doesn’t want to interfere. He asks if that was her husband, and she says yes, and that it’s complicated. Then he asks about the boy, and is looking around the apartment in a way that probably wouldn’t be creepy if there were different music in the background. He leaves without incident.

Monday 9th, Part 2
.
Boran calls Sadakat to thank her for giving him the video. She’s crying a bit and reminds him that once Meryam and Cihan are married, he will give custody of the boy to Alya. After they hang up, she sobs and begs Cihan for forgiveness for what she’s doing, saying she has no choice, he has to forgive her, etc. Which he doesn’t because we know she’s doing this to protect herself more than to protect Deniz. Then she pulls herself together, and tells the Air Cihan that this is all for his own good. She has learned nothing.
.
Cihan gets back to the konak and knocks on Meryam’s door. He wants to talk and she lets him in. Sadakat watches from one of the many balconies that I hope she falls off of. Cihan apologizes to Meryam on behalf of Boran, and for dragging her into the middle of all his desire to separate Cihan and Alya. He tells her that that video transported her to that moment, and he understands why she’s upset. She looks at him like why are you mansplaining me to me? She is annoyed at him and tells him that that necklace is a memory to her to and if he doesn’t want her to wear it, then fine. She gives it to him to take and turns away from him. He holds it for a bit, then tells her the memory was nice and she should keep the necklace. He leaves it with her and goes to see Erol. Or maybe it’s the next day? I lost track.
.
Erol fills in Cihan about, I assume, McFeyyaz., saying Cihan won’t like it. The guy is here for work and that’s it. Nothing. His life is “onions and tomatoes”. I couldn’t find this saying online, but I think it means that he’s clean. Cihan is annoyed and tells Erol to leave.
.
Now it’s definitely the next day and neighbor guy has brought pancakes to Alya as a thanks for helping him. And just then Deniz has been brought there by Cihan and Pakize. Engin. That’s neighbor guy’s name. Engin greets Deniz nicely while Cihan looks on. Engin then wisely takes his leave. Cihan does not apologize to him or say much of anything to him. Deniz and Pakize then go inside, luckily, because Alya and Cihan chip at each other again. He offers to take her to the hospital, which she turns down, but he’s there when she steps out to go to work. She does threaten him that if the whole drive is him griping about pancakes, she’s going to drive herself. More arguing. They are exhausting.
.
Sadakat goes to see Meryam and she says you gave Boran that video, right? Meryam is smarter than most of Sadakat’s children. They chat a bit about the video and Meryam seems to know exactly what Sada is doing, although it’s not said out loud. Sada asks where the necklace is. Meryam has put it away but Sada says it’s hers and she should wear it. They are interrupted by a call from Mujgan telling her something has happened but don’t worry, which guarantees there is something to worry about. Her boy has fallen down some stairs and Mujgan wants to take him to Cihan’s hospital where he can be safe. Meryam doesn’t look happy about this, but finally agrees that this is best. When Sadakat asks what’s up, Meryam says that it was Mujgan’s son who broke his arm. Sadakat is surprised her sister has a kid and assures her that he’ll be well-cared for at their hospital. Meryam is very concerned, and Sadakat says of course she would be, “like a second mother”. Wheels are turning in Sada’s brain. Meryam is smart but she is not a good liar.

Monday 9th, Part 3
.
At the hospital, Cihan and Alya have gotten there. He wants to keep talking, but promises it’s not about “that idiot” and his pancakes. He understands that seeing the video was painful and recognizes her right to feel that way. It hurt him too. She understands, and notes that he was caught off guard. But he says he loves her. He loves her. What happened at that wedding wasn’t his fault, marrying her wasn’t his fault, but falling in love with her was his choice. He decided to love her with all his heart, and theme song plays. She knows. These two are so much more effective as a couple when they are acting like adults and not sniping at each other.
.
Meryam calls Cihan and Alya tells him to answer. She tells him about the Serhat (the boy’s name). Cihan is surprised, too, that she has a kid. As she explains and asks about coming to his hospital, Sada stands there with a knowing look on her face. Cihan agrees to send an ambulance to get the kid from wherever he is. Cihan passes on the news to Alya, and she offers to get the ambulance pick up the boy right away. He tells her about something he’s planning for the hospital, preschool for Deniz some such thing. She points out that Deniz is starting elementary school in a couple years so he’s going to have to build over the gardens. Something like that. The conversation ends on a happy note.
.
Kaya and Sahin at work. Sahin goes to a meeting somewhere and Kaya watches him leave. Apparently, Kaya wasn’t invited to this meeting? Cihan looks over a report given to him by Muzzafir. NOW Kaya gets to come in. He knew this was about him when they left him out there. Cihan invites Kaya to sit. He doesn’t want to but Cihan insists. Sahin explains that the couple with the baby have started working at the Baybar’s. Kaya asks what they found. Cihan tells him he has to stay calm and not interrupt. Will Kaya stay calm? Probably not. Cihan explains that Neslihan, the woman, was giving birth at the same hospital at the same time as Zerrin. More explanation given, and bottom line is they’ve solved it!! And Kaya is relatively calm, so far, but only because the show has ended.
.
I’ll get all the new names next time. Maybe. Neslihan (the woman). Mujgan (the sister). Engin (the neighbor who is either secretly bad or just uncomfortable being in the apartment of the woman whose man punched him). Serhat (the new boy).
