Tensions rise between Burcu and Kemal. A furious Işık takes action after hearing about Necdet's secret deal with her friends.

The group enlists Elif's help in their plot to overthrow Necdet by encouraging Refik to put his hat in the ring for the director position.

A smitten Elif is devastated by a misunderstanding with Osman. Kerem encourages Eda to pursue her art. Kemal takes Sinan under his wing.

All hope seems lost for Işık, who parts ways with the group, but Elif urges her to reconsider. Kerem reckons with a heartrending decision.

Kerem swoops in when Eda's parents set her up with a suitor. Osman's free food scheme causes a rumpus at school. Sparks fly between Elif and Osman.

Kerem and Eda arrive at an impasse. Necdet walks into Osman's trap. Bristling under parental pressure, Elif takes matters into her own hands.

A day of reckoning looms for Necdet. Elif leaves for Vienna, and Osman finds a way to make Kerem study.
