Abdullah has constantly questioned himself during this time and, leaning on his already strong faith, has gone on pilgrimage to Umrah. Now, Fatih is at the head of all the business. He is increasingly consumed by the intoxication of power, seeing himself as a true businessman. Because of the fear she experienced on the last night, Kıvılcım gave birth prematurely, and her baby was born very small and is now in the incubator. For this reason, tensions run high between Kıvılcım and Ömer, as Kıvılcım blames the Ünal family. Mustafa has been admitted to a mental hospital for treatment.
