The new “Tradimento” episode on Monday, June 9, plunges Selin and Tolga into a life-altering moment, as they finally meet the child they hope to adopt. Their excitement is palpable, yet Oltan’s reaction to the news is anything but joyful. Meanwhile, a tense encounter between Oilum, Tolga, and Selin, with the baby present, brings the past crashing back. In court, Mualla’s divorce hearing takes an unexpected turn, leaving everyone stunned and Oilum fearing Guzide’s earlier warnings were true.

The episode opens with Selin and Tolga at the adoption institute, Selin a bundle of nerves, hands trembling, breath short. Tolga, despite his nervous smile, admits to a sleepless night filled with palpitations. The director, observing their raw emotion, understands their sincerity. Selin expresses her fear of not being a good mother, but Tolga’s quiet presence reassures her. When a knock on the door announces the arrival of a woman holding a baby, Selin springs up. Tears well in her eyes as she takes the infant, feeling an immediate, profound transformation. She cradles the child, captivated, as if touching a dream. Tolga, equally moved, approaches, his face alight with emotion, and embraces the baby. Selin can’t bear to let go, touching and caressing the child, as if fearing she might vanish. The room fills with a new warmth, confirming the director’s belief that she’s made the right choice in entrusting the child to this loving couple.

Meanwhile, in another office, Ozan presents his hospital project to Karaman, expecting critiques. But Karaman surprises him, telling him to take ownership and lead the project with confidence. Ozan is deeply touched, grateful for the trust placed in him. As they shake hands, Oilum enters with a stroller and a sleeping Jan. Karaman’s face softens, a spontaneous smile appearing. Ozan, too, lights up, his eyes immediately seeking his nephew. Oilum gives Karaman a box of his favorite sweets and congratulates Ozan on his new role, embracing him in a hug that speaks volumes of their genuine affection. The room fills with laughter, the atmosphere light and familiar, tensions seemingly dissolved into a deep sense of belonging.

Back in the car, Selin still clutches the baby, her face beaming. Tolga drives cautiously, every bump making him ask Selin to hold the child tighter. Selin, lost in her happiness, repeatedly says she’s already in love and doesn’t want to be separated from her daughter for a second. She realizes they forgot a stroller, but Tolga calms her, reminding them to prioritize the baby’s well-being and their own. He suggests a nanny, but Selin refuses, not wanting to entrust the baby to anyone. Tolga understands, content to share this moment and introduce the baby to Hakan, her grandfather.

In the hallway of Karaman’s office building, Oilum exits the elevator just as Tolga and Selin enter the hotel. Selin is anxious about Oltan’s reaction to the baby, but Tolga calmly assures her that while his father may be confused at first, he’ll eventually grow fond of her. For Tolga, this is their decision, and he won’t let it be questioned. As they wait for the elevator, Tolga holds the baby. The doors open, and they come face to face with Oilum, who is equally surprised, having just thought about Karaman and the idea of calling him “dad.” A tense silence hangs between them. Selin breaks it, greeting Oilum, who responds curtly. Oilum then notices the baby. Selin explains it’s their daughter, and when Oilum assumes it’s an adoption, Selin definitively confirms that she and Tolga are the parents. Oilum, with a detached tone, wishes them and the baby well before walking away. The awkwardness of the encounter is palpable, the tension undeniable.

Tolga and Selin then head to Oltan’s office. Tolga knocks, and when Oltan opens the door, he’s completely thrown. His son stands before him with a newborn in his arms, Selin beside him. Oltan is speechless, his eyes wide with a mixture of confusion and astonishment. He remains frozen. Tolga, trying to break the spell, asks if they can come in or if they should remain at the threshold. Still silent, Oltan slowly steps aside. Tolga firmly informs his father that he and Selin are officially the baby’s parents. Oltan listens in silence, still unable to react. Selin, her voice trembling with emotion, explains that they are currently foster parents and still need to complete the formal adoption process. Tolga, without a word, gently hands the baby to his father. Oltan stiffens for a moment, then extends his arms and takes the child. He clearly hasn’t fully processed what’s happening. Tolga watches, then introduces the baby, clearly stating that this is her grandfather. The room is heavy with silence, but then something shifts. Oltan relaxes, his gaze softens, and he holds the baby with care. Selin, seizing the moment, asks if he’s happy. Oltan answers honestly: he’s just learned he’s a grandfather and didn’t even know the baby existed. He admits he needs time to process it, but yes, he will be happy. The baby’s spontaneous smile melts his resistance. Selin, holding back tears, sees her dream realized: she is a mother, with the husband who has shared every step. Tolga reminds her that he predicted his father would be surprised but ultimately joyful, and Selin nods, content. An apparent serenity fills the room, but Oltan’s gaze, as he watches Selin and Tolga, betrays an underlying unease. His eyes don’t truly smile; he says nothing, but a disturbing thought stirs within him, clouding the moment’s happiness.

Meanwhile, Jessim and Umit arrive at Ms. Semi’s elegant and imposing residence. Umit, nervous, asks for a drink, but Jessim dismisses the maid before she can bring anything. Umit quietly protests, his throat dry. Despite the tension, they are both captivated by the impeccable style of the residence. Jessim shows Umit a detailed proposal for the hostess. Footsteps behind them announce Ms. Semi’s arrival. Jessim and Umit stand. Ms. Semi enters, composed and cold, her demeanor distant, almost glacial. Jessim politely presents the menu proposal, but Ms. Semi clarifies that it’s her husband’s private birthday party and she wants a sober, elegant, and discreet proposal. She critically reviews the menu, her face betraying no approval. She explains her sophisticated palate, refined by culinary experiences worldwide. Umit boldly suggests an unusual dish, fried deer meat inspired by Siberian cuisine, but Ms. Semi rejects it, returning the proposal. She rises, stating her assistant will contact them if she accepts their proposal, and leaves the room. Jessim, maintaining professionalism, thanks her. As they head for the exit, Umit continues to pitch ideas, desperately seeking one last chance, but Jessim, sensing further tension, gently pushes him out.

Outside, Umit is dejected, blaming himself for the failed meeting and the missed opportunity to work in such a prestigious kitchen. Jessim, however, feels relieved, sensing Ms. Semi’s excessive rigidity and admitting that not working for her might be a blessing. But Umit remains regretful, still dreaming of that kitchen.

At Tolga and Selin’s home, Sara is buzzing with excitement, preparing a joyful welcome for the baby. The living room is decorated with pink and white balloons and a lighted “Welcome” sign. Tolga and Selin enter with the baby. Sara rushes to embrace them, her eyes drawn to the sleeping infant in Selin’s arms. Tolga, completely captivated, can’t take his eyes off his daughter, observing and protecting her as if the rest of the world has vanished. Selin suggests taking her to the nursery to change her, but then realizes they forgot an essential item: diaper rash cream. In their initial euphoria, they were unprepared. Selin asks Tolga to buy it while she cares for the baby. Their priority is to nurture her, but another thought weighs on them both: finding the perfect name for the child who has already changed everything.

Ipek returns home to find Neve tidying the living room. Ipek calmly informs her that she will be leaving for a few days with Oltan for a business trip. Neve observes her closely, then, with slightly tearful eyes, comments on how much Ipek reminds her of her mother. She asks for their destination, but Ipek responds vaguely, assuming it’s not a warm one given the professional nature of the trip. Neve kindly confides that she finished a shawl for Ipek, but before she can hand it over, Ipek’s phone rings. It’s Oltan, who says he’s already downstairs. Ipek becomes flustered; it’s her first time being invited by him on a work engagement, and she feels important and involved. Neve watches her affectionately, and when Ipek asks her to pray for her, Neve firmly replies that she does every day, that Ipek is always in her heart. Ipek rushes out, descends the stairs, and approaches Oltan’s car with a radiant smile. From the window, hidden behind a curtain, Neve watches her get in. Her phone rings again. It’s Sezai. Neve answers and immediately asks about Numan. Sezai reports that Numan’s condition remains critical; he hasn’t woken up, and the prognosis is reserved. The only thing to do for now is wait. Sezai then asks about Ipek. Neve explains that Ipek is distraught over her last words with her father, tormenting herself and regretting what happened. But Sezai shows no sympathy. He claims Ipek is only sorry because her plan failed, stating unequivocally that if everything had gone as she wanted, Guzide would be dead today. Neve strongly rejects this harsh view, defending Ipek by reminding him that those words were spoken in anger. But Sezai insists, refusing to accept that every behavior can be excused by alleged emotional fragility. For him, the attack on Guzide was premeditated. He reiterates that only the timely intervention of a woman prevented the tragedy. The tension between them is evident. Neve tries to defend Ipek’s humanity, while Sezai remains firm, convinced that certain actions can neither be ignored nor forgiven. Sezai confesses that the situation is wearing him down. Ipek’s behavior is driving him crazy. Pain and anger clash within him. He wants to believe his daughter has realized the gravity of her actions, but he can’t accept it. He doesn’t believe in her repentance. Neve, understanding his state of mind, implores him not to tell Guzide, at least for now. She doesn’t want Guzide to be further troubled, especially now. Sezai admits he hasn’t even had the opportunity. As soon as he learned of Numan’s condition, he rushed off without even speaking to Guzide. Neve suggests he wait until the wedding and then decide with clarity how to address the issue.

In the car with Oltan, Ipek is surprised to notice the absence of a driver. It’s the first time she’s seen him at the wheel. Oltan, sensing her surprise, asks if his driving makes her anxious. Ipek responds calmly, saying she’s at ease, though she didn’t expect to see him driving. Oltan explains he loves driving only during long trips, away from traffic, immersed in quiet landscapes and fresh air. During the drive, Oltan turns on his phone screen, revealing a photo of a child. Ipek asks who it is, and Oltan replies dismissively that the child is with Selin. Ipek, confused, asks again who it is. Only then does Oltan clarify, in a cold tone, that Tolga and Selin are now foster parents. Ipek notices his coolness and points it out. Oltan doesn’t deny it, admitting he’s not at all happy with the situation. He believes the couple, having just reunited, doesn’t have a stable enough foundation for such a big step. He confesses he would have preferred to be informed earlier to discuss it. As the journey continues, the conversation returns to the child. Ipek asks Oltan if he’s happy to be a grandfather. Oltan responds coldly. For him, this child is not a true grandchild. He adds that he would have been happy to see a biological grandchild born to Tolga, a real son, not an adoption. Ipek is perplexed. She doesn’t understand how Oltan can expect a child from Tolga, knowing Selin’s difficulties. She goes further, hypothesizing that the only way to have a natural child would have been divorce and a new marriage.

During the journey, Oltan reminisces, confiding in Ipek that he has only cried twice in his life. The first time was when Tolga’s mother died in a tragic accident during a downpour. The other, years later, was for Tolga himself. But now, he adds, he has decided not to give in anymore; he says one must resist, and he resists. Oltan’s words deeply affect Ipek, creating a moment of genuine emotional closeness between them, but that fragile intimacy is suddenly shattered. A car in front of them attempts a reckless overtake. Oltan brakes sharply to avoid impact, but the other car swerves off the road, crashes into a tree, and catches fire. Oltan stops his car, opens the door, and rushes out. Ipek follows, but he holds her back, asking her to stay behind and call for help. Oltan rapidly approaches the burning vehicle. Inside, he sees three people: two adults and a child. He immediately notices the fuel tank leaking. Ipek, at the roadside, desperately tries to call an ambulance, but her phone has no signal. Meanwhile, Oltan tries to open the car door, but it’s jammed. He looks around, spots his car, runs to the hood, and retrieves a metal bar. He returns to the vehicle and tries to pry the door open, reassuring the child with a glance and continuing to struggle with the lock. Ipek, agitated, hears an engine in the distance. A car approaches; she steps into the road and manages to stop it. She explains the emergency to the driver, who promises to find a signal to call for help, then return. Meanwhile, the flames advance. Oltan finally manages to open the door, lifts the child, and immediately carries him to Ipek. Then he returns and helps the mother, pulling her out as the flames dangerously approach the fuel tank. The man, however, is still trapped. Oltan refuses to leave him behind. Ipek approaches to help, despite Oltan’s shouts for her to stay away. Together, they manage to free him. Just a few steps away, the car explodes. Glass shatters in the air, raining down around them. The heat engulfs them, but they are all alive, still on the ground, gasping and covered in dust. Oltan looks at Ipek. Her face is strained, but her green eyes are firm and determined. In that moment, Oltan realizes the intensity with which she faced the danger. He is struck and can’t look away.

In Istanbul, Mualla and Oilum are at the courthouse for the divorce proceedings. While Mualla discusses with her lawyers, Oilum steps away to call Guzide. She informs her mother that she is at the courthouse and the procedure is underway. Guzide is annoyed at not being informed earlier and worries that if something goes wrong, she won’t be able to intervene. But Oilum reassures her, convinced it’s just a formality. She believes the divorce benefits not only her but also Mualla, as it would allow Karaman to marry her and ensure Jan stays with her. Guzide, however, remains wary, distrusting Mualla and fearing she might have ulterior motives. She decides to be ready in case something goes wrong.

Meanwhile, Oltan and Ipek’s business trip continues. After the intense experience they shared, silence now reigns in the car, replaced by a certain discomfort. Neither speaks. The complicity that had united them moments before seems suddenly suspended. Oltan breaks the quiet, asking Ipek if she’s hungry. When she says yes, he suggests stopping at a restaurant he knows well. Shortly after, they arrive at a simple but welcoming trattoria. They are greeted by the staff and shown to a table. Oltan takes the initiative, ordering the house crostini, assuring her they are excellent, and asks for whatever dishes are currently available in the kitchen. They sit opposite each other, no words needed. Their gazes frequently meet, and in those brief moments, both sense a subtle tension generated by their closeness. Their bodies are still, but the atmosphere between them is charged. The shared space at the table becomes silently eloquent. Neither comments on what happened earlier, but the memory is alive in both their eyes.

In court, the divorce hearing between Mualla and Karaman officially begins. The judge asks Mualla if she has all the necessary documents confirming her legal guardianship over her son, Beran. Mualla confidently confirms she has every requested document. The judge then moves to the central point and asks if she accepts the terms of the divorce. Mualla suddenly hesitates, looking at Oilum with a conflicted gaze. Oilum observes her, surprised and suspicious. Then, Mualla turns to the judge and, her voice choked with emotion, declares that her son Beran is gravely ill and is currently in Switzerland for medical treatment. Her words freeze the courtroom. Oilum is stunned, her heart racing. She begins to fear that her mother Guzide’s prediction is coming true, that Mualla is concocting something to obstruct the divorce. Just then, on the courthouse stairs, Guzide is on the phone with Umit, informing him she’s there to follow Oilum’s hearing and, with a worried voice, confesses her fear that Mualla might enact a plan to harm her daughter. The call is brief; Guzide wants to reach the courtroom as soon as possible. Umit, as soon as he hangs up, informs Zeynep and Jessim, who are with him in the kitchen. He tells them about Guzide’s concerns, and Jessim nods, fully sharing the suspicions. Mualla, in her opinion, is manipulative and potentially dangerous. The conversation shifts. Umit mentions the canceled contract with Ms. Semi, declaring himself relieved overall, but just then, Jessim’s phone rings. It’s Ms. Semi. Jessim is puzzled, looking at the phone, unsure whether to answer. Umit urges her to. After a few seconds of hesitation, Jessim takes a breath and answers the call.

Meanwhile, Oltan and Ipek’s journey continues. Their lunch break is about to end. Oltan confesses he wants to splash water on his face, but the water is too cold, so he refrains. Ipek, instead, gets up and heads to the bathroom. She needs a few moments to compose herself. She splashes water on her face, looks in the mirror, and smiles for a moment. She thinks of Oltan’s courage during the rescue and the connection that formed between them. When she returns to the restaurant, she finds him semi-asleep, nestled in his chair. She approaches discreetly and gently places her shawl over him like a blanket. Oltan opens his eyes, looking at her with a complicit gaze, almost seeking approval. Ipek responds with a serene smile. Oltan rests his head on her shoulder. She does the same. They remain like that, close, silent.
