He's torn between his heart and his conscience. Barış, who thinks Emirhan is uncanny, searches for ways to get closer to him in order to understand his intentions and finds himself challenging him. To uncover all this mystery, Defne pursues Azra, unaware that she is the one who is, and takes a huge risk by including Leyla in her plan. This move makes her the target of Emirhan's wrath. However, Defne stands up for Leyla, no matter the cost, without fear. Her courage catches Emirhan's attention. Desperate to make amends for his daughter, Emirhan, along with Defne and Leyla, travels to the Maiden's Tower, where he proposed to Azra years ago. But this journey also turns into a confrontation for Defne.
