Melike, who has undergone a DNA test, takes action to clear her name, fearing that Duru might discover the truth. Driven by suspicion, Duru begins her own investigation and makes an unexpected deal with Kerim. Realizing that Kerim hasn’t left, Hazal devises a plan to sabotage the relationship between Kerim and Duru, a plan with devastating consequences. While Hazal believes she is controlling everything according to her wishes, the news of the DNA test throws her into deep despair. Haluk, who uncovers Berrin’s lies one by one, tightens his grip on her and forces her to confess. Trapped, Berrin desperately tries to escape Haluk’s game, even at the cost of her life, and brings Hülya and Cengiz into action as well. Although Kadir, forced to stay away from Melike due to her firm stance, tries to warn her about Haluk’s intentions, he fails. Blinded by rage, Haluk gives the order that could bring about Melike’s end without a second thought.
