The European Side

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!
