Episode 27

The never-ending war between two rival families, the Furtuna family and the Koçari family, has been raging for years. Adil Koçari and Esme Furtuna, who had a deep-seated love affair in the past, clashed over blood rights, and Esme shot Adil. Despite all the animosity between them, Adil Koçari refused to betray Esme Furtuna, claiming, "I shot myself." Just then, a Greek doctor from far away saves Adil's life. The daughter of a Greek mother and a Greek father from Istanbul, this girl has come to Trabzon in pursuit of a great secret. After Eleni's arrival, life will never be the same for either Adil or Esme.

Episode 1

Adil and Eleni, in an accident, are caught in the middle of an ambush set by Gökhan and his men, struggling to survive amidst the bullets. Esme comes to their aid. Adil is determined to hold Eleni's attackers accountable. As rumors of the "Greek doctor and Koçari together" grow in the village, Oruç's engagement preparations to Sevcan accelerate. However, denied shelter in the village, Eleni falls exhausted and ill. Encountering Eleni on the beach, Oruç helps her and entrusts her to Esme. Despite the village's opposition, Esme cares for Eleni "like a daughter." Meanwhile, during the engagement ceremony, Adil arrives to reclaim the land bequeathed to him "by blood right," bringing Esme and Adil face to face. Meanwhile, Şerif orders Eleni's death while in prison. Eleni, however, is unaware of the danger that awaits her.

Episode 2

After being attacked, Eleni falls into the sea and is rescued by Oruç, who takes her to Esme’s guesthouse. Unable to see her attacker, Eleni finds it impossible to trust anyone and insists on seeing only Adil. When Adil, Esme, and Eleni reunite at the guesthouse, they begin searching for the person behind the assault. Meanwhile, Adil learns that Fadime has gone missing. Zarife makes him a ruthless offer: “Return the land, and you can have your sister back.” But this bargain once again forces the Furtuna family to face the harsh hand of “Koçari justice.” Just as tensions reach their peak, the unexpected return of Şerif Furtuna shatters the balance completely, setting the stage for a new wave of conflict.

Episode 3

With Şerif's release from prison, everything shifts. As tensions rise again on the Furtuna front, Adil decides to erase the traces of the past. He challenges Esme, who refuses to reveal who threw Eleni into the sea. If she remains silent, he will destroy her boarding house and all of Furtuna. Oruç's trust in his uncle is shaken by Melina's words, "Your uncle sold Eleni out." This time, it's Oruç's turn to demand an explanation. Behçet, meanwhile, lures Eleni into a trap he's set on the plateau, using the pretext of help. Upon receiving the news of Eleni's death, Oruç is devastated by the grief of not being able to protect her.

However, at the same time, Şerif has launched a ruthless plan against him: poisoning the tens of thousands of goat herd to reclaim the land and the money! Meanwhile, the photo Melina gave Oruç reveals that Eleni was sold in Istanbul as a baby. Eleni decides to go to Istanbul with Oruç to find her mother.

Şerif's ambush, designed to prevent them from following Sultan Ebe's trail, puts Adil and Gezep in mortal danger. Finally, realizing that the Furtunas were the ones who sold Eleni, Adil is enraged.

Oruç's return to Koçari has dire consequences. Adil imposes a severe punishment on the Furtunas. He burns their tea factories, blows up their trucks, throws their men into the tea cutting machine, and makes life hell for the Furtunas. Amidst all this chaos, Esme confronts Oruç, declaring that if Eleni is his daughter, she will divorce Şerif and become the Furtunas' greatest enemy. Not only that, she also tells Adil not to believe the Furtunas, so he can get the test he couldn't get himself. Esme's blazing-fast attitude plunges Adil into maddening doubt. Is Eleni their daughter? Adil will only trust one of them; that same day, he brings Gezep's biologist twin, İlve, to Koçari for a DNA test. İlve, the witness and architect of Adil and Esme's love affair in the past, is a lifeline for both Adil and Esme. İlve performs the DNA test. All this chaos changes Gezep's life as well.
