Galip's transfer offer to Emir creates a bombshell effect in the neighborhood. However, getting Emir, who has decided to quit football, back onto the field won't be easy at all. While Hasan, Sado, Mert, and Melek strive to ensure he doesn't miss this opportunity, Uzay is ready to try every trick in the book to prevent Emir from joining the team. Uzay is making moves that put his own life at risk. He's now fully committed, eyes wide open. But he's saving his biggest play for last. Emir and Naz's lives are in danger, and as the entire neighborhood works to save them, the end of this peril brings other secrets to light as well. Fahriye encounters someone from her past. But this won't be the only secret that emerges. A truth that Emir learns sets both him and Ziyankar—who won't leave him alone afterward—into motion. Now it's Emir's turn to make a move. This time, the ones who should be afraid are Uzay and Galip.

Believing Uzay started the fire, the Ziyankarlar family raid the area, whereupon Galip makes an offer he thinks will appease everyone.
