ReplyDeleteWow! Anastasia, the Brewers put a stake in the hearts of the overpaid Dodgers. Let's hope my Guardians can win. They're up 2-1 and the stats favor them. But, of course, as a native of Northeastern Ohio could have easily predicted, it might be raining for the next game. There were countless backyard BBQ's that moved indoors during my childhood and youth in the area.

Part I
Rewind: Sadakat thinks Boran was always jealous of Cihan. She groomed Cihan to be a leader, put a gun in his hand at an early age, but sent Boran off to other cities. There was always something a little bit off about him. Maybe it’s all her fault. Alya wonders why Boran instructed Cihan to marry her. Sadakat thinks it’s because he’d doom his brother to a marriage in which he could never touch her because she’s his brother’s wife. Cihan would feel guilty the rest of his days. What Boran didn’t figure on is that Alya would love Cihan more than she did him. Your love has healed Cihan she tells Alya. Boran has lost all his humanity.
In the hospital visiting room Nare in her bathrobe is with Sadakat and Alya. Fidan and Sahin come and they talk about the baby. Nare is petulant. Why is Sahin’s mind somewhere else and not on her and the baby? He says he’s just burned about Ecmel. Forget him, she says. He apologizes, loosens up and hugs her.
In the hospital hall Alya tells Sadakat that she’s looking online for an apartment. Sadakat thinks that’s no way to go about it. Alya needs to check out the neighborhood first. Sadakat can send some men to check things out. Okay, sure, says Alya.
Kaya shows up and Sadakat asks how business is going. Apparently they had some merchandise at a port (!) and Ecmel arranged to have the paperwork held up. Cihan sorted it out.
Alya goes to her office and starts looking at apartments online. She has a woozy spell. Boran texts her to not forget she has to stay away from Cihan. Cihan in his office is morose. Our two guys come in and say they’ve been all through Yurgun’s stuff (that little box?) and nada. Cihan wants to launch the Bulgarian app but still no way.
Sahin brings Nare a teddy bear. Kaya and Fidan are there. Zerrin comes in and then Ipek with some flowers plus a box of something (pastry?) for Kaya. She notices that Zerrin looks unhappy about her being there. Zerrin says she has to leave because there’s an exam. We see Kaya doesn’t believe her.
In the hallway Ipek catches up to Zerrin and Fidan and says didn’t you ask me to get close to Kaya? It seems like you don’t like it at all. Zerrin, yes, definitely I did. Ipek: I’ll keep it up then. She leaves and Zerrin sits on a bench and sobs while Fidan comforts her. This isn’t working says Fidan. It’s destroying you – I’m going to go tell everybody. She starts to march off. Zerrin protests she’ll lose her baby if she does. She has an idea! Tomorrow she’ll go kidnap her baby. She wants her mother’s help. Fidan looks skeptical but then wraps her arms around her.
Alya’s going to see an apartment. Boran’s henchies tell him that she’s looking downtown. Excellent says Boran.
We’re at the apartment building! The real estate guy takes her up to see the unit, which is on the 6th floor and is very modern and has giant picture windows. It has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, no less. Cihan appears at the door! She tells him he’s not going to live there and tries to get him to leave. They run into two handsome fellows in the hall who greet her and say they’ll be neighbors. They’re college professors. Cihan asks them if they’re single. Yep.
Lejos
ReplyDeletePart II
He grabs her arm and complains to the manager that this was supposed to be a family building and where are the kids? He takes her back to the parking lot where the real estate guy is left wondering what just happened. In the car on the way home Cihan says of course he’s jealous. Alya can’t help smiling a little.
It’s night. Cihan and Alya pull into the mansion and sit in the car saying nothing. Then Cihan tells her no matter how far away she is, whether mountains are in the way, if she’s on the other side of the planet, she’s still his wife. Don’t ever take off the ring.
It’s movie night! Deniz is excited and the ladies have made trays of snacks. Everybody goes to the living room – Alya and Cihan, Deniz, Sadakat, and Kaya. For some reason they watch the movie with all the living room lights on. There’s an action scene and Deniz wrestles a little with Cihan and Kaya. Popcorn fight! Happy family! Sadadkat gives Deniz a big hug and pets him. They leave and Kaya leans on his mother’s knees and she pets him too. (Where is the Sadakat de antes?) I’ll never forgive Boran says Kaya.
Alya puts Deniz to bed. Cihan stands out on the balcony and suffers. She comes out and says she’s going to her room. He says no, you’re about the leave the house. Come stay in our old room. He imagines a future is which she lives there and Deniz goes to school nearby. She says she’ll tell Deniz tomorrow that they’re leaving. Meantime Cihan can go check out prospective neighborhoods, even have tea with the neighbors if he wants. They repair to their old room, Cihan to sleep on the couch, she sitting in her chair. He’s left the door open and they sneak secret peeks at each other.
Erol calls him to say the truck driver is still being detained but he can’t get in to see him. Ecmel has some protective wall around him.
In the hospital room Nare and Sahin are packing her things. Dr. Yalcin comes in tentatively. Sahin says it’s okay. Dr Yalcin is relieved and gets loquacious and says she’ll leave an empty spot in the hospital. Sahin starts getting all glary again.
In the hallway she gets mad about Sahin’s jealousy. He likes to kid, why can’t Dr Yalcin? Sahin says because you’re mine. Finally they loosen up and laugh a bit.
Ecmel’s at his previously flaming house. He wants in! He has Boran and a bunch of henchies with him. The guards won’t let him in. Fidan and Zerrin look down over the wall. Go away! I’ll set the house on fire! I’m outside, laughs Ecmel. You’ll just burn yourself up. Come in and I’ll kill you says Fidan. Sahin pulls up and informs Ecmel it’s his house now. Ecmel: I’ll turn into the man who kills his son. Sahin: I’ll turn into the man who kills his father. Group fist fight!
Mansion kitchen: The ladies are there and also Alya and Deniz, having fun. Cihan comes in, gets a phone call and suddenly looks mad. He storms out. Turns out the truck driver testified that Sadakat obligated him to kill Vurgun.

ReplyDeleteBabachita, Novelera, Anastasia: Congratulations to the Brewers. Big question is whom they would prefer to face in the World Series? Rays or Guardians? 🤔
"SENOR10"
Here's my super-short recap of last night's episode & it'll be super short.
*Aurelio's thirst of power continues to piss off basically everyone. I noticed that Vitaminas is having some second thoughts & might want to retire to be with Amelia (forgot her name).
*Reynaldo, Amanda, Gullible David & Co., working with Almendariz on his campaign.
*Castillo meets with Huertas in Miami, FL. Dalila finds out about Cowgirl Redhead's death & reads her files, etc.,

ReplyDeleteWas anyone else thinking that the two apartment men weren't quite as single as they said they were? This might have been a very safe place for Alya to be. The natural light was quite nice too.
I wish Zerrin had come up with the kidnapping plan before pushing Ipek on Kaya and risking her getting her heart broken again.

ReplyDeleteI’ve only watched bits and pieces of it this week. I relied on the excellent recaps and comments everyone provided to keep up. Thank you all.
I liked what Sadakat said to Alya and Nare in the hospital about her sons. There was a self-awareness and sincerity that we usually don’t see in her.
Why is Alya woozy? Did I miss something? Did Cihal spend time in bed together without clothes and a little kid between them?
Those two single men? I doubt we would ever discover much more about them. They never specifically identify anyone as gay in a dizi but if the character is a flamboyant stereotype, you can assume. And they wouldn’t have a partner. Strictly a sidekick character and/or comic relief. Not sure if “bachelor” translated to “gay” for Cihan. He seemed jealous.
Yalcin is seriously beginning to worry me in the way they keep inserting him around Nare and Sahin. I’m afraid he’s going to turn bad and mess with my fave couple.
To answer Maggie’s question, Deniz is annoying in Turkish too. You can look at a clip on YouTube to find out.
OT
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to the NYT story about Lokmacı Baba, novelera. I hadn’t seen it. But I’ve seen lokma being prepared and/or distributed in dizis plenty of times. Halva is also made and distributed after a funeral. In KPA, Elvan showed Elif how to make it after Elif’s mother died. It was a touching scene.
Congrats to the Brewers. How exciting you have a chance to go to a game, Anastasia!
lejos
ReplyDeleteThanks, Maggie. Really enjoyed your recap. "Bulgarian app"...Ha!
At last we get an explanation of why a person with 3 sane and kind siblings turned out that way. Sadakat's explanation of Boran's behavior was very well done. She said maybe her fault, but maybe it's bad blood (Ecmel's).
I am fed up with Zerrin's placating Demir. I have zero confidence in her plan to kidnap her baby. All the dimwit needs to do is tell Cihan about the child being alive. And don't tell hothead Kaya. I can just see Kadir holding Kaya and Zerrin's baby in his arms after the successful raid.
Another family scene where Ipek pops up? Gah!
OK, this jealousy thing is getting on my last nerve. Is this what Turkish women like to see in a dizi? More idiocy from Sahin and now Cihan. ITA about the two guys probably being partners. I wouldn't have caved like Alya did and miss out on that gorgeous apartment. OTOH the writers are probably scrambling to have Alya and Cihan having scenes together, rather than quick compliance with Boran's orders.
Yes, Maggie, they seem to me to be rehabilitating Sadakat.
They've said over and over that the mansion belongs to Sahin, probably something that happened when Ecmel was still in prison (where he belongs). But Ecmel shows up with gunmen and, I guess, wants to impose squatters' rights.
lejos
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recap, Maggie. What a surprise to see Sadakat reflective about how Boran turned out and not blaming Alya! It makes sense that Boran, being sent away as a young child, would be resentful of Cihan. I don't know that being Ecmel's son made a difference, after all, Sahin is nothing like Ecmel or Boran.
As to Alya's wooziness, how long ago was that one night she and Cihan spent together? They did do "it" , didn't they?
Novelera, yeah, that jealousy stuff is getting old, although I did like that Cihan admitted he was jealous. His little smile was cute.
Maybe I make things up, but I thought Vurgun said he took care of Boran because if he didn't, his daughter would be killed. How could Boran do anything to her while he was in that coma? And why did Vurgun finally turn against him?
I think Cihan should get a helicopter to get around on the endless car chases. It would be faster.

ReplyDeleteS2 #67 part 1
Slight rewind: Erol calls Cihan with bad news. The truck driver gave his statement and said Sadakat forced him to kill Vurgun. Sadakat walks outside at that moment and hears this.
Cihan turns to his mother. Did you hear that? Your own son is accusing you of murder to cover up what he did! [reminder: Sada has attempted to kill and has already killed people. She’s no innocent, Cihan. Ha, it’s ironic if she went to jail for a murder she didn’t commit.] Alya stops him from saying more. Sada is shaken.
Next crisis: Nare calls Cihan to tell him Ecmel and Boran are storming the castle…er… konak. Cihan heads off with Muzaffer and Kadir. The entire family must assemble at any crisis, de rigueur, so Alya and Sada follow them.
The brawl continues outside the other Albora’s konak. Sahin and Kaya are outnumbered and getting a beatdown. Notice that Ecmel and Boran are only spectators. Fidan and Zerrin come out to try to stop the fighting. Ecmel and Boran take the opportunity to slip inside the konak and view the melee from a safe spot above. Points for Fidan, as she rushes into the mix to rescue her son, only to stop and shout at Ecmel, I swear on the Quran, I will flatten you! Bastard! Nare and Zerrin shout for the fighting to stop.
The good Alboras arrive. Muzaffer already has his gun out. Alya and Sada pull Nare away. Alya wonders, where’s Cihan? Se see he’s gone around the back and climbs the wall into the konak. Ecmel calls out to his men—what are you waiting for?! Finish the job! Cihan sneaks up and grabs Boran from behind. Alya sees this and bangs on the konak door to get in. Cihan brings Boran down with a punch and pistol whips Ecmel, knocking him out.
Cihan puts Boran in a headlock and starts to choke him. Alya and Sada manage to get in and try to loosen Cihan’s grip on Boran. Alya tells Cihan to think of Deniz and let Boran go. Cihan hisses at his bro, you’d send your own mother to prison to cover up your own filth. What kind of son are you? You’re going to the DA to tell him that you killed Vurgun. [not if he doesn’t kill Boran first.]
Kaya comes in and starts pleading with Cihan to let Boran go. Sahin, Nare, Zerrin, and Fidan follow. [what happened to the fighting outside? Did Fidan get her Quran and vanquish them all? And you’d think Boran would at least be unconscious by now.] A siren is heard and Cihan finally lets Boran go. Boran spots Cihan’s gun on the ground but, thankfully, Cihan stops him from picking it up.
The cops enter the konak and ask, Sadakat Albora? We have a warrant for your arrest. Stunned Sada is cuffed and taken away. Boran glares at his mom. Cihan glares at Boran. Others are in shock. Ecmel seems satisfied. Sahin orders Ecmel and Boran to leave the konak. Theme song plays as Sada is put into the cop car. They can’t make me feel sorry for this woman.
Cihan tells Muzaffer to have Erol come to the police station. Everyone disperses, leaving Fidan and Zerrin outside the konak. Fidan says to Zerrin, if somebody had told me that someday I’d feel a pang of regret for Sadakat, I never would have believed them. Oh, Allah, what else will you bring upon us? Ha, then we see Demir standing down the street. He gets on his phone. Zerrin tells her mom, this ends today. Zerrin takes his call. Life can be so much fun sometimes, he says, enough to lift your spirits. They arrange a pickup so she can see the baby.

ReplyDeleteS2 #67 part 2
The DA recaps Sada’s statement. You affirmed that your son Boran shot Vurgun, but we have new testimony. The truck driver admitted to shooting him because you forced him. Erol asks to see the statement. The DA continues, your son, Boran Albora, refutes your statement. Do you still claim your son is the culprit? Erol reads and says, yes, my client stands by her previous statement. The DA wants to hear it directly from Sada.
After a moment Sada replies, I… everything I already said is true. I am Sadakat Albora, and what I say and do are one and the same. I’m not the type to slander her own son. I wish it had been me who shot Vurgun, so I could serve a sentence instead of defaming my son. I’m not that kind of mother. I’d never slander my son. But there will be no stain on my name [!!!] I am Sadakat Albora.
The good Albora guys wait at the police station for word on Sada. Meanwhile, Alya tries to get Nare to rest at home. Nare can’t relax, worrying about her mother. Ummu brings her chamomile tea. She asks if Boran really did this to his mother. Nare answers yes, and he’ll do more if we don’t stop him. She asks Ummu to get rid of all Boran’s belongings. Alya says don’t. Deniz won’t use that room anymore anyway. Nare thinks Alya is talking like she will never come back to the konak. Cihan would never let that happen. Alya doesn’t want to talk about it anymore.
This next bit was confusing to me. I think Nare said in Turkish, I swear, if he had shot Boran, I wouldn't have died—you know? But if my brother Cihan had spent even a single day in prison, because of Boran, well, that is when we all would have died. We’ve seen so much evil and suffered so many tragedies. Could there be anything worse than what a sibling does to another sibling? Alya comes to Nare’s side. Try to feel your baby’s presence. You’ve got a baby in there now. You’re going to be a mother. Our priority is our own children. Nare nods.
Zerrin pumps her milk for later. Demir knocks on the door and asks if Zerrin has finished. Yes. He enters the room and smiles at the baby. [That baby is adorable.] Zerrin says, she’s beautiful, isn’t she? Yes, beautiful, Demir replies, she looks just like you. Zerrin prepares herself and asks Demir, would you like to hold her? He’s surprised. You’d let me hold her? She hands the baby to him.
Demir looks like he’s about to melt. He asks, why did you let me hold her? Zerrin shrugs. Maybe your heart will soften a bit. You’ve been depriving me of that warmth since she was born. You’re not taking her, Demir replies, you can’t. I’d protect this baby with my life. I’d give much more than a father could for anyone. Believe me.
Zerrin gets dizzy and sinks to the couch. She says that she didn’t get the chance to eat anything because of the commotion at home today. She needs to eat. Demir offers to take her to get something. She turns him down saying she’ll get something on the way home. He insists. You’re not eating, you’ve lost weight. Your baby needs you. There’s a good restaurant nearby you’d like. Zerrin wants to take the baby along. Demir says no. She begs, just one hour more with my baby, please. You’re with us, what could happen? Demir gets a commercial break to think it over. Zerrin is about to give up and go, but Demir gives in.
Sada is done with her statement. Erol says the DA will refer the case to criminal court with a request for arrest. She will go before the judge now. Kaya protests. Sada quietly tells Cihan, if you don’t crumble, son, neither will your mother. The cops take Sada away. Cihan calls Alya with the news. Alya says she’s coming. Nare wants to go, too, but Alya tells her to stay and rest. Nare wins out.

Zerrin, Demir and Baby Hazal take a seat in the restaurant [Googled it: Tandoora Cafe & Restaurant, located in the Hasankeyf district. On Google maps it says it was featured in ep 54 of UŞ! Seems pizza and pasta are their main things. Zerrin and Demir ordered the lebeniye soup, per server recommendation, and lamb chops.] The server comments, ah, mashallah, what a beautiful child you have! May Allah bless/save her from trouble. [typical to say about a baby. Notice the look on Zerrin and Demir’s faces. We miss these fine points when translated to Spanish or English.]
We see Fidan pull up in her car outside the restaurant. Zerrin says she’s going to call her mom, so she doesn’t worry if she gets back late. Zerrin calls and Fidan tells her she’s outside the restaurant. I’m waiting, she says, stay calm, I’m with you. Zerrin keeps up the pretense on her end. Demir listens. [is he suspicious?] Fidan prays in the car. Allah, please help us. Deliver my daughter back to my arms. Please, Allah, let us return home safe and sound. Demir notes that Hazal has been well behaved. No crying or fussing. Why would she, Zerrin replies, she ate and her mother is with her. That’s right, Demir says, what more could she want?
Sahin decides to call his mom and his sister. He calls Zerrin first. Demir asks her, aren’t you going to answer? How could I, I’m with you, she responds. Kaya asks Sahin, she’s not answering? Sahin thinks she might be in class. He calls Fidan. Fidan tells him that Zerrin is in the shower. He fills her in on what’s happening with Sadakat.
Alya and Nare arrive at the courthouse. Nare goes to Sahin and Alya stands with Cihan. Erol comes with the news that Sada will be arrested. She’s walked past her family and out to the police van. Demir gets a call with that update and shares the info with Zerrin. Zerrin is stunned. Demir tells her, you should be happy, it’s her fault you married me instead of Kaya.
Zerrin purposely spills ayran all over Demir. She tells him to wash it with soap and then rinse it. It will come out. He goes. Zerrin quickly gathers her things and the baby and rushes to the door. She runs into a woman with a small child and the woman’s things spill to the floor. Zerrin apologizes, puts the baby down and helps the woman pick up her things. When done, she grabs Hazal and runs outside.
Fidan brings the car around to meet Zerrin. They take off like it’s like a bank robbery. Allah! [I think they should pray that Fidan delivers them safely back home! She doesn’t have a great driving record.] Kaya calls Zerrin. He’s upset she hasn’t called him. She answers rapidly, Kaya, I promise I’ll tell you everything. I have important things to tell you! Very important! He tells her that Sada is being taken to prison. They agree to talk tonight. Zerrin cries to Fidan, mom, I’m telling him tonight! We have a daughter!
It’s not to be… Zerrin uncovers the baby and finds a doll in the seat instead! She lets out a blood curdling scream. Fidan pulls over and looks back. She’s horrified. What is this?! Video call from Demir holding Hazal: Think twice before setting traps for others, because sometimes the rope gets tangled around your own feet. Did you think your bird-like brain could outwit me?
We get the flashback. A switch was orchestrated by Demir with the help of the woman and a henchie. [Don’t ask me how he managed that.] Demir tells her she won’t be able to see the baby until she comes back to him. She won’t even get a glimpse of her. This is the last warning. Zerrin screams and throws her phone. She takes the doll and runs out of the car into the field. She shouts and curses Demir. Fidan cries with her daughter.

Sada’s van arrives at the prison. Ecmel, Nadim, and Boran are there watching from a distance. The good Alboras get out of their cars. Erol asks the gendarmes if Sada can have a minute to see her family before she goes inside. It’s allowed but it must be quick.
Sada is relieved to see her family. Cue the theme song. Cihan tells her they will get her out. She won’t be staying. Nare tells her, I know you’re strong. Of course, you’ll get me out, Sada replies, of course, I’m not staying. I know I’m strong. I need you to make me a promise. Boran… betrayed his mother… and his siblings as well. It’s unforgivable. But you will not touch him. Promise me, Cihan. She has to ask a couple of times until Cihan answers, tamam (okay).
Song: Karanlıkta/In the Dark - Ahmet Kaya
YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-zl-D40S3I
CCs and lyrics in the drop down can be translated.
Note: Ahmet Kaya was a Turkish-Kurdish Folk singer with an interesting life story. His music has been used several times in this dizi. Maybe the message is more than just the songs themselves.
Sada gives her jewelry to Nare. She calls out to Alya—take good care of my little pasha. Alya nods. Sada nods back. The door closes. Cihan comforts Nare. Alya puts her hand on Cihan’s shoulder. [I can’t feel as sad as those Alboras.]
The good Alboras see Ecmel and co in the distance. Cihan calls Muzaffer over and whispers, I want someone entering this prison to talk to the truck driver. That man needs to tell me the truth, understand? Muza’s got it. The bad Alboras leave.
Sada is taken to her dorm. Wow, everyone rushes to kiss her hand and welcome her. May Allah save you. May it be in the past. One woman says, we heard you’re here unjustly. Your enemy is strong. Sada gives her blessings in return. She notices a woman in a bunk turned away from everyone and asks, what’s wrong with her? We don’t know, a woman answers, she’s been like this since she got here.
Another woman says they will prepare a bed for Sada. Sada says not to prepare a place for her. She will claim her own place. The women go back to what they were doing before Sada arrived. Sada keeps eying that woman in the bed. We don’t see this woman’s face, but I guess she will be someone important in the story.
And we are out.

ReplyDeleteDondi, this was great! I really appreciate all the detail.
Why was Demir so surprised he could hold the baby? He must’ve done it many times.
Really the restaurant’s claim to fame showed on google maps?? What a hoot!
That baby doll gave me a jump scare. Creepy! And yeah, it was amazing Demir had the switch all planned. Right down to the same baby blanket!
Usually in TNs when a rich person goes to prison they get roughed up by the other inmates. I fully expected that but instead Sadakat got hand kissing!
Maggie

ReplyDeleteThanks, dondi. As always, your details were terrific and so were the asides.
When you mentioned Sadakat being a murderer, I had to think for a bit. She shot Alya, but she didn't die. She poisoned Ecmel IIRC, but he didn't die. Then I remembered her shooting Mine by the side of the road to prevent her telling Ecmel about Boran being his son. I shed no tears about Mine, as I was thoroughly tired of her other woman antics.
Erol must be rethinking being the Albora mouthpiece. He keeps getting stuck with seemingly unwinnable cases.
Will we ever see the hold Ecmel has over the incarcerated truckdriver? I suspect threats to his family.
Maggie, I also found Demir's awe at holding the baby odd. He had custody for weeks and never held her? I was wondering why Zerrin just didn't go there when she knew Demir was occupied, but now I sorta remember a couple of the omnipresent henchies hanging around there. They tried to prevent Kaya's entering.
We get it, dondi, you really aren't ready for a Sadakat reform! But I have kind of admired her a bit lately. She's telling the truth about Boran. And she seems to have respect for Alya. And she's showing a spine of steel at what her ghastly firstborn has done to her.
I'm SO curious about the woman in the communal cell with her back to the room. An Ecmel plant? Someone we've seen before?

ReplyDeleteA question: before the baby’s name was given as Simal and here it’s Hazal. What’s up with that?

ReplyDeleteZerrin called her baby Simal in this episode. According to the subtitles I saw.
Perhaps it was a mistake in the recapper's part. Since this recap is in Google, you can't use Google to go back and check anything at the same time, if your memory fails to bring up a name. (Unless you happen to have two devices going.) And the baby is not in the cast list.
lejos
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments, everyone.
novelera, I don’t think any of us shed tears for Mine. But I cannot stand the fact Sada gets a free pass every time. And her family thinks she deserves that! I gave her small credit for what she said about Boran in the previous episode. Sometimes she does a good thing, especially if it also benefits her, but then she’s back to evil ways in the next ep. No redemption, please. I’m still stewing over the redemption of Azize in Hercai.
I’m wondering if Ecmel is going to kill the truck driver if Cihan gets too close to the truth.
Demir might or might not have held the baby before. But I think what surprised him is that Zerrin asked him and allowed it. It was like a family moment he never had before and probably will never have again. I almost feel like if he found a real, mutual love and had a family of his own, he would become a better person and stop messing with the lives of others.
Clarification regarding the baby’s name: Zerrin calls her baby Şimal but Hazal is being “officially” used because of the current kidnapping circumstances. Sorry if this caused confusion. I watch this in Turkish as well, and I hear both names. Both refer to Zerrin’s baby. Ha, kind of like we hear Deniz or Cihan for Alya’s son. Going forward, I’ll remember to use Şimal to avoid any confusion on the patio.
Lejos - Ok, now I remember. Hazal was the name that was used when Zerrin faked to Kaya, when he intruded, that she was only the wet nurse. They faked to Kaya that the real wet nurse/nanny and a henchman were the baby's parents.

ReplyDeleteSada is terrible but I kinda love that it took her two seconds to become queen of the jail. Way to make the best of a bad situation, Sadakat.
Could the mystery woman be Vurgun’s daughter? I though she had been in Syria but telenovela rules says she could have been moved for no reason and it will be perfectly acceptable.
