Daha 17 – Episode 3 – Second Part
The second part of Episode 3 begins with a tense family confrontation. Leyla returns home late after being with Aras on a boat. Her mother, Nuray, and other family members accuse her of being irresponsible. Leyla’s father is furious, believing Aras “kidnapped” her. Leyla defends Aras, saying he would never hurt her. She then reveals a shocking truth: Teoman was the one who stabbed Aras, not Kutay. She knows because Aras told her everything.
Leyla’s mother is stunned but tries to cover it up. Leyla accuses her parents of sacrificing innocent people – first Kutay, now Aras – to protect Teoman. She says: “Why do innocent people always pay the price for what you do?” Her father admits that he doesn’t care about guilt or innocence – everyone plays their role, and Aras crossed the line.
Leyla threatens to go to the police and tell them everything unless Aras is allowed to stay. Her mother, Şebnem, proposes a cruel deal: Aras can stay, but Leyla must never speak to him again. She must act as if he doesn’t exist – no talking, no greeting, no eye contact. If Leyla breaks this rule, Aras will be sent away immediately. Leyla accepts the deal, heartbroken.
Aras returns to the dormitory. The staff and parents hold a meeting about him. Some want him gone, but the guidance counselor argues that Aras has talent and deserves a second chance. They decide to let him stay.
Later, Hakan Akkaya (Teoman’s father) confronts Aras privately. He admits he didn’t know Aras was searching for his brother. He apologizes for trying to send him away and offers to help find Aras’s brother. Aras refuses, saying he prefers to handle it alone.
At school, Leyla ignores Aras completely as agreed. She hides in the girls’ bathroom with her friend, crying. She says: “I will act as if I never met him. As if I never fell in love with him.” Her friend comforts her.
Teoman confronts Aras aggressively, threatening to find his brother Demir first. Aras warns him never to say Demir’s name again. They nearly fight but are separated by teachers.
Meanwhile, Şebnem visits Özlem (Barış and Deniz’s mother) to buy her garden. She wants to open an Italian restaurant. Özlem refuses to sell, saying the garden is her family home where she was born and raised her son. She then reveals that Teoman brutally beat her son. Şebnem dismisses it as a children’s fight, but Özlem says: “It wasn’t mutual. I know my son. It wasn’t mutual.” She accuses Şebnem of teaching her children that they can buy anything and do anything – even stab someone and blame an orphan.
Şebnem is furious but leaves. She tells her assistant to find out how much debt Özlem has, determined to force her to sell.
The episode ends with Aras receiving a phone call from Ertan – the man who brought him to Bodrum. Aras demands to know where his brother is. Ertan says he is not ready yet and hangs up. Deniz and Barış help Aras track the location: “Çiğ Burger Café” in Gümüşlük, near the viewing hill. They rush to find him.

How This Part Ends
The second part ends on two parallel cliffhangers:
1. Leyla’s Sacrifice
Leyla accepts the deal. She will never speak to Aras again. The episode shows her hiding in the bathroom, crying, while Aras watches her from a distance. Their relationship is now forbidden. The emotional cost is devastating.
2. The Search for Aras’s Brother
Aras finally gets a lead. Ertan’s phone call is traced to “Çiğ Burger Café” in Gümüşlük. Deniz and Barış rush to find the location. Aras is determined to go there. The question remains: Who is Ertan? Where is Aras’s brother? And why is he still being kept hidden?
3. The Power Struggle Over the Garden
Şebnem fails to buy Özlem’s garden but vows to force her to sell. She orders her assistant to dig up Özlem’s debts. This sets up a future conflict between the wealthy Akkaya family and the principled Özlem.
Conclusion

The episode ends with Aras on the verge of finding Ertan – and possibly his brother – while Leyla watches from a distance, unable to speak to him.
