Zeynep, who was thrown off a cliff by Meryem and Altın’s man, survived by chance but was seriously injured. The villagers who found her took her into their home and treated her. At Zeynep’s request, they contacted Ali rather than Meryem. Ali immediately went to see Zeynep, but she was unaware of how this had happened to her. Zeynep’s disappearance hit both families like a bombshell. While Meryem and Altın tried to cover up what happened, Ege was devastated. Sibel and Adnan, who heard from Ege that Zeynep had disappeared, also come to the city, pushing Ali further into a corner and prompting him to insist that Zeynep show up as soon as possible. Delighted by Meryem’s disappearance, Meryem decides to speed up the plans to marry off Nazlı. But Özcan, unable to bear watching the engagement ceremony, admits in front of everyone that they are married. Zeynep, meanwhile, has found the people who tried to kill her and has decided to use this to resolve the custody issue with Ali.
