Cihan's pursuit of Fikriye and Halis' meeting leads him to face the reality that Boran was murdered. While Alya feels responsible for Boran's death, she is also afraid because she doesn't know who to protect her son from. Cihan begins to investigate who killed Boran, both to protect Cihan Deniz and to avenge his brother's death. While Halis's words to Fikriye on the phone confuse Cihan and Alya, Fikriye decides to act alone to reveal the truth. Özkan's health condition puts Nare in a state of remorse and creates an insurmountable barrier between her and Şahin. Sadakat learns about Fikriye's actions and believes that Alya had a hand in Boran's death. Sadakat, who never accepts this betrayal, forces Alya to leave the mansion. Cihan, on the other hand, believes that Alya is innocent, so he decides to make Halis talk in order to find the real culprit. At the end of the steps she takes, Cihan ends up in prison and vows not to leave until she learns the truth.
