Selim and Akgün have moved to Adalet Sitesi, right across from Canan's house. While only Altay from the Kara family welcomes Selim's surprise visit, Canan and Yağmur are unforgiving. Canan wants a divorce because Selim has been basically absent form their lives and she asks that he accompany her in telling the children about the divorce. Selim realizes that it will not be easy to convince Canan this time. He asks the happiest couple he knows, Emel and Metin, to help him. While Emel takes her sister's side, Metin will help his brother-in-law Selim, albeit secretly.

While Akgün tries to escape to Chios with the help of Yağmur, a surprise awaits them in the middle of the sea. When Selim learns that Akgün enlisted Yağmur's assistance, he is alarmed about the safety of her daughter. He decides to take Akgün away from his family. They set off for Istanbul.

Halil Sadi offers to fulfill Akgün's wish to flee abroad in exchange for his assistance to locate the witness Latif Coşkun, who is in Selim's hands. Yagmur is sad about the break up with Kaan. Kaan, on the other hand, has also fallen to pieces. The break up causes a fall out between their mothers Meanwhile, Metin realizes that Serap is in trouble and tries to help out. Selim cannot handle his realization that Fatih, a mutual university friend of the couple, also a lawyer, has been so closely invovled with his family in his absence. On top of that, when he hears Fatih's job offer to Canan, he goes crazy and pressures him to withdraw the offer with a visit to Fatih's office. However, seeing how enthusiastic Canan is about returning to work, Selim regrets what he has done and tries to support her efforts to return to work in other ways. Akgün, who sees Selim's efforts for his loved ones, is very impressed. He is now at a threshold where he will have to decide between betraying Selim or not.
