Meanwhile, Aslı's parents have decided to marry her off to Tacettin, the son of their old summer house neighbors from Antep. On the night of the arranged proposal, chaos ensues when Aslı shows up dressed in punk attire! Elsewhere, the magazine's editor, Fatoş, gets Botox, which leaves her facial muscles paralyzed.

When Volkan finds out that Selin is also invited to the party, he disguises himself as a woman and crashes the event in dramatic fashion! However, things take a turn for the worse when Şesu also shows up at the henna night, leading to chaos. Meanwhile, Aslı becomes intensely jealous upon hearing that Fatoş and Cem are going out to dinner, and the entire office begins to spy on them like detectives. As Aslı and Volkan are about to move into their new apartment next door, their relatives from Germany—Uncle İmdat, Aunt Azamet, and their son Adnan—arrive for a short stay.

Episode 44. Bölüm56 min
Volkan decides to enter a singing competition, but this must be kept secret from their father. Meanwhile, fed up with Aslı's lack of interest, Tacettin decides not to introduce Volkan to his producer relative. In response, Volkan creates a fake diary, pretending it belongs to Aslı, and fills it with pages expressing her secret love for Tacettin. After reading it, Tacettin becomes ecstatic and starts acting more "affectionately" towards Aslı, who is, of course, still fixated on Cem. Realizing she knows almost nothing about him, Aslı attempts to fill the gap by conducting a fake interview with Cem. Elsewhere, Fatoş begins dating a younger rock musician, but their schedules are completely mismatched. Sertaç advises Volkan that to succeed in the competition, he needs a tragic and interesting backstory. Volkan embraces the idea, adopting the persona of "Acılı Ayhan" and makes a big impression!

After Sertaç's brilliant idea, Volkan decides to get into the bootlegging business. The fact that a famous director plans to hold the premiere of his new movie at Aslı's house plays right into Volkan's hands. However, Volkan completely overlooks the "pirate mafia" factor. When he and Sertaç fall into the mafia’s hands and are forced to work for them, chaos ensues. Meanwhile, Aunt Azamet decides to give belly dancing lessons at home and convinces Mrs. İffet to join her. But the students who show up are not what they expected, and things quickly spiral out of control in this secret operation hidden from the father and Uncle İmdat. At the same time, Aslı begins to get to know Cem better and realizes they may not be as compatible as she originally thought.
