Kızıl Goncalar (Red Roses) (S02E24)

Cüneyd deeming Meryem worthy of the post position causes significant unrest within the order. As the news spreads, debates intensify at the Meclis-i Meşayih. Sadi Hüdayi's fierce opposition to Meryem becoming a murshid shakes his trust in Cüneyd, while Meryem herself has yet to make a decision. Torn between protecting her family and the order, Meryem struggles to come to terms with the situation. Meanwhile, Mira, unable to accept what’s happening, becomes increasingly anxious about the future. Zeynep, who supports Cüneyd, believes that Meryem becoming a spiritual leader will empower women.

When Sadi Hüdayi labels Cüneyd's plan to dissolve the order and appoint Meryem as the leader as madness, questions begin to arise about Cüneyd’s sanity—and the threats around him start to materialize. As Mahmut, the spokesperson of the Meclis-i Meşayih, puts pressure on Sadi Hüdayi, Levent becomes resentful of Cüneyd for making such drastic decisions without consulting his wife and family.

Despite the chaos around her, Meryem wants nothing more than to restore peace among the Fani and put an end to the rapidly escalating feud between Cüneyd and his uncle. Eventually, Sadi Hüdayi agrees to face Cüneyd before all the sheikhs in a final confrontation. At the same time, Sheikh Mahmut—determined to resolve the matter once and for all—knocks on Naim’s door.

Although Meryem takes a step that brings temporary calm, Cüneyd’s nationwide shockwave of a decision puts her directly in the line of fire.
