The latest episode of La notte nel cuore opens behind the cold, oppressive walls of the prison, where tension is thick enough to choke on. Nu steps into the visitation room, ready to face his sister Melek. But this is not the Nu she remembers — gone is the rough, desperate man from their past. Now, he’s impeccably dressed, exuding confidence, looking like he stepped straight out of a luxury business magazine.

Melek stares in disbelief, demanding to know what happened to him. Nu’s smile is enigmatic as he reveals that he has blown apart the Sanalan family empire, risen to power as the hotel’s director, and outmaneuvered their enemies alongside Tassin.

Melek breaks down, relief flooding her face. They embrace tightly — a rare moment of forgiveness in the chaos of their lives.

Meanwhile, outside the prison, Sumru thanks Tassin for arranging the meeting. She admits she no longer stays with Anisa — Samet destroyed the house when he found out she had been hiding there. Tassin’s anger boils over, furious at Samet’s cruelty.

Back inside, Nu tells Tassin everything: Melek’s pregnancy, her love for Cihan, and his decision to protect the child. Tassin, impressed, calls Nu the
