 Episode 209 The Never-ending War

Quick synopsis: Hasan is barely shot. The mother of all confessions. The medallion is revealed. 

Seyit shoots but even though it is Baran who is right in front of him, it's Hasan who drops. Baran snatches Seyit's gun away and immediately checks on Dilan. She is unscathed. People flock around Hasan but Kudret tells him to cut it out and sit up. He's fine. Hasan immediately starts howling and Kudret offers a hankie for his scrape. He's basically got a boo-boo.

Firat is upset though. He picks up his gun and runs over to Seyit, pointing it at him. Dilan runs to her dad. Kudret yells at Firat to stop and Baran is worried for Dilan. It's Gul running up and reminding him who he wanted to be that diffuses the situation. Kudret pulls Seyit away but as they go, Seyit is repeating how Hasan is a murderer. Baran watches them go.

The fathers argue but in the end, it was Kudret's family who died, and that decides it. If he can be silent, waiting for the right moment to out Hasan, then so can Seyit.

Firat calls Sabiha; Hasan has been taken to her hospital. They need her staff to not report the wound as a gunshot. He wants to protect Dilan and her dad, and keep it in the family. Sabhia agrees.

Dilan is freaking out. No matter what they do this vendetta is its own evil thing and the darkness follows them. She thinks it will never end.

Baran has longer experience with it. And he's more upset that Seyit showed up out of the blue with a gun. What prompted that? What if she had been hurt?

Cevdet is catching up on events. He didn't even know Seyit was ambushed in the first place. He's about to go off half-cocked too. It's Cevriye who stops him. She lost a life too. She bled. If she doesn't pick up the gun, what right does he have too? It's a nice symmetry to Kudret's earlier statement.

Once again, Who Run the World? Girls. We run this motha'.

Hasan doesn't even spend a night in the hospital for observation.  He's still a big baby and complaining though. Particularly about having to travel to Mardin.

Cihan reigns him in. 

Azade-doom starts in again with Dilan. Baran steps in. She calls him BaranBoss. It has the effect of calling him Boss Baby I think.

Dilan calls Sabiha; she needs a favor.

Firat is grateful to Gul. She has a valid counterpoint: That's nice, but I can't live my life wondering who you'll kill or will kill you if I'm not there. You have to remember these things on your own, bud. Time to grow up, kiddo. He has to promise. She can't bear it if something happens to him.

Dilan's favor is getting her parents the hell out of Dodge. The Demirs have a tearful good-bye but I'm not really that into it.

Baran tells her he's got it handled...he's sending her parents abroad. 

Oh. Ummmm...

Baran is cursing his guy out for losing them when Dilan pipes up. They're at Sabiha's house.*

Sorry...they're...where?

Ohhhh, something I hadn't thought about until Hanife walks in is how the mothers are coming face-to-face.

It's showtime, folks.

Hanife starts in with woe-is-me and Sabiha claws her own hand to keep quiet in the face of it.

Our lovers are ignoring each other while in the same bed. Baran is brooding and flexing his fingers. But by morning they are on the same page again and will go say goodbye to her parents before they go to Germany.

Oh my god. Hanife is blubbering again. But now she's blubbering in front of Sabiha and the blubbering is more like complaining about Dilan. There's a nice little face off with Sabiha saying she'd do anything for Dilan but somehow Hanife takes from this a reminder to complain about Dilan some more. Oof.

Seyit tries to shut her up, but she appeals--appeals!--to Sabiha. He's a man; he doesn't get it. But you do, you're a mother. You understand me.

Ahhhh, and there it is folks, the fireworks begin. And pow! Just when I think it's all Sabiha can do to stop herself from punching her--bam! She hauls off and slaps her. Followed by a confirmation that she is Dilan's mom.

She actually tells her she is Ezra Yilmaz.

And what does Hanife do? Start in on how Sabiha, not Dilan, is the source of their trouble. No shame, this woman. She regrets nothing.

In the end, Sabiha just threatens her to keep quiet.

Hasan is still bound for Mardin. He can take a couple days to heal, then it's adios to the rat.

Azade pleads his case. Just when she got one son back from a coma, Baran is sending the other away. And if he does...she'll never forgive all of them: Baran, Cihan, Kudret. So she's abused her power as a mom and made Baran responsible for all three of them.

But Kudret drops the high bower in this game: Mom, did you know what Hasan was going to do?

She stops in her tracks.

Not only will her answer lose her the high ground, but also put her in a position to be in Baran's debt. And if the punishment for what Hasan did was banishment, then she would share in that fate. Basically, he's turned the tables on her in exactly the same way. Don't make us banish you.

In one fell swoop he's given Baran the upper hand to the extent that she now owes him. 

If they let her stay, that's an equalizer to her argument. 

And if he forgives her role in the events, then she is indebted to him.

Bubba got game.

Not that it would matter much if she was indebted. She'd never pay up if it meant accepting Dilan or Gul. 

All of this plays out only in the abstract because she doesn't answer. But Baran's mouth ticks and we all know they know.

Cevahir is making bigger villain plans. Havin reports something to the authorities. Anonymously, because she then smashes her phone.

Kudret is at Baran's desk in the study when Kader asks him to appraise Gul's necklace. It's very expensive, contrary to the explanation Gul gave.

Baran's guys are taking the Demirs from Sabiha's to Germany. Dilan and a stoney-faced Baran say their goodbyes. Hanife apologizes and not even in a backhanded way. Baran gets a call. It's Kudret; Cihan has the Sabiha file. They are raiding Turgut's place. When Sabiha comforts Dilan, a strand of Dilan's hair gets caught on Sabiha's 1/2 of the medallion, pulling it out when they break apart. She picks it up and stares at it in disbelief. Baran turns around but can't quite see what's going on. 

Yelling at the tv:
*Now--and I know I am overthinking this--but with the way Cevahir likes to just show up, is this really the best place for her to move them to? Presumably, Sabiha could get them anywhere Baran could if this is indeed a stopgap measure, but staying with her seems like an iffy choice.
