 Episode 205 Sabiha's Protection Racket

Quick synopsis: Mourning a mother. Firat almost spills the beans. Hasan actually does.

Baran is ticked Dilan took off again to Sabiha's and I can't even feel bad about it. Damn straight bro. 

Sabiha doesn't recant her lie that Dilan's mom is dead. I still say she should enlist Baran. I'm going to channel Kerem for a minute: Talk to him!

Dilan and Sabiha have a heartbreaking conversation that I am just not up for. Am I hardened? Maybe. Like, just spit it out already. Also, I can't take another heartbreak episode. Bah.

Oh Gul, no....don't do it. Don't fall for Hasan's crap again. Firat doesn't get the chance to explain what she thinks she just overheard because Kader walks in and he has to bounce or risk her finding out about them. 

Sabiha tells Dilan about her mom though. It's heartbreaking (did I mention?) but also comforting. She proposes they become surrogate mother and daughter to each other. This seems like a nice compromise but it won't help the original fear that started the lie. If Cevahir finds out how beloved this surrogate daughter is, won't that be exactly the same situation?

Dilan is amenable to the idea. Sabiha tells her more about her mom. Dilan wants to know, got any photos of her? 

Now that's a million dollar question...

Baran shows up. It's clear looking at the two women that something has happened. And he's comletely disarmed when Dilan just walks up to him and lays her head on his shoulder in a hug, needing comfort. She tells him her mother is dead.

Gul finds an apology bouquet from Firat in the living room. He is peaking from around the corner as she discovers it. 
I love it when he's basically a big kid. 

Gul keeps a hard line though; he visitied his ex-fiancee without telling her. He was wrong. She leaves and Cihan continues the argument with him. 

You know what would take the wind right of this whole fiasco?  If Firat gave the shares to Baran. Or even Gul. He's got a good heart. That isn't the question. It's the not telling them that's the problem. 

But maybe Derya wouldn't have sold them--or Cevahir wouldn't have told her to--if they'd known he was an agent of Baran's. 

Baran is pretty upset with Sabiha. If she knew the truth this whole time, why hide it from them? 

What I want to know is, how is she going to come back from this lie? Like, 'no wait, not only is your mom not dead, but surprise! It's me!' That will be a hard pill to swallow.

Sabiha fakes having researched into Esra after they left. (Plausible.) Havin is still sure the time for the truth will come. 

Kudret greets them when they return home. He can tell it's not good news. Poor Dilan. All that time and energy and now there's no hope of a reunion at all. Baran is very supportive.

Gul is being pretty hard on Firat. He decides is she won't forgive him, he'll...he'll...tell her mom they got married! I dare you, she says. I don't believe anything you say anymore.

I bet he does tell her. I mean, is he a man of his word, or not?
Buckle up, Buttercup.

Father and son talk it out, about Dilan's situation. Baran feels awful.

Where's Ahmet?

He is also so sure Sabiha is still hiding something. That man's instincts are spot on. I suppose that's why he's the head of the family. As ever, he'll track don the facts of what Sabiha told them about Esra's life. Kerem said he backed up all his computer data so maybe Baran can start there. Kerem! That guy. *sigh* No one could beat Kerem for digging.*

Now that he's got a plan, Baran feels better.

Firat walks into the kitchen and starts talking to Kader. He and Gul have been texting. She shoots him a message to stop. She gives; he wins. He's forgiven.

Now they are both sad about losing their moms. He fed Dilan soup, but he hasn't eaten. They go to the kitchen. They will cook together. Hair up, sleeves rolled up. A reprise of their onion argument. Lots of inner monologue with looks.

Sabiha needs to keep Cevahir off any notion that Dilan is important to her. She'll buy Firat's shares. And if Cevahir ever even thinks about hurting her daughter...she'll kill him.

Dilan puts photos of her and her mom in their new family albumn. 

Gul truly forgives Firat, not just under duress.

Kudret expresses his condolences to Dilan. She is making breakfast for everyone. Azade-doom and Hasan the rat are not impressed. Baran and Kudret talk some more. Hasan eavesdrops. He discovers Dilan is adopted. And who her real parents are.

Oh boy.

He jumps through all the predictable, conclusional hoops.

Breakfast is an interesting affair. I keep forgetting Dilan cooked in her family's restaurant. Cihan wants to take a selfie with everyone. Hasan opens his big mouth: Fortuitous that Dilan is in this photo, non? Given how the Demir's tricked them and she's adopted?

Dilan drops the plate she's serving from. Baran catches it. He brings her around to her seat at the table, at his side. Hasan has his full attention. Baran takes Dilan's hand. 

Azade-doom is a hawk. Kudret's face is murderous. 

We end on a split screen of Dilan and Baran's faces, one cast down and one glaring.

Yelling at the tv:
Sabiha's got a lovely sun porch. She and Dilan have their conversation there.

There's a beautiful, deep purple bed set on their bed now.

These men have incredibly long eyelashes. Damn them. 

*This is the first time they're getting into Kerem's computer?!? For realz? Isn't that the first thing you do in a situation like his? I mean, how has Baran been doing all Kerem's work since his death? 

Culturisms:

There's a lot of scent and smelling that happens in this and recent episodes. Like smelling your mom's scent when she hugs you. I understand the comfort of that concept but I'm not sure if the show is playing it up for this particular plot point or if this is a larger, cultural meme.

Teaser 206:

Dilan is remembering Azade going full doom  on those that trick the Karabeys. And not on her behalf.
