Roses and Sins – Episode 32 (First Part – Season 1 Finale)
The episode begins with a tense confession from Serhat to his brother Tecer. Serhat feels trapped by their father, Yusuf Bey, who wants to place Serhat at the head of his criminal organization. Serhat fears that if he refuses, his father will kill him just like he allegedly killed Necat. However, Serhat also senses that his father needs him for some reason.
Meanwhile, Zeynep is waiting for Serhat at a café. Cihan’s mother (possibly named Kader) confronts Zeynep about the fact that Cihan is the father of a baby, and that the baby will never know it has a brother. This implies a hidden pregnancy and secret family ties.
Serhat is then chased and nearly kidnapped by his father’s men, but he escapes because he was prepared. He later confesses to his brother that he is being followed. Serhat believes his father is dying or too weak to fight his enemies alone, which is why he suddenly wants Serhat to take over.
Serhat finally reunites with Zeynep and lies to her that his car broke down. She is worried but trusts him. Zeynep and Serhat are engaged, and they discuss their wedding venue. Zeynep wants it at a special hotel – the same place where Serhat once brought her at midnight to choose a baby, where he proposed twice, and where they plan to have their first dance.
At the same time, Berrak (Serhat’s mother) is shown in a deep depression. Tülay, a former housekeeper, returns asking for her job back, but Berrak’s mother accuses Tülay of blackmail and theft. Berrak ultimately rejects her own mother, telling her to leave just as she abandoned her in childhood.
Gamze and Mustafa are also planning their wedding. Gamze wants to live in Antalya after marriage, but Mustafa refuses to ask Serhat for a job. Mustafa argues with Gamze, telling her to leave if she is only marrying him to become an “in-law of Serhat Tecer”.
Pelin and Ebru are starting their own company. They rent an office and celebrate having their names on a business card for the first time. But suddenly, masked men storm into their office screaming “Revenge!” (Intikam!), hinting that Serhat’s father’s criminal enemies are now targeting even innocent family members.
Cihan Tecer receives a phone call. The caller says that Yusuf Bey wants to meet face to face. Cihan reveals he is in a wheelchair and cannot go anywhere. The caller insists that there is something important in an envelope – something for which Cihan has been beaten many times. Cihan is left frustrated, unable to learn the secret.
Finally, Sedef is ordered to keep the press away from the wedding. Zeynep and Serhat argue about guests: Zeynep doesn’t want anyone from her past because she no longer knows who is friend or enemy. Serhat accepts this.
Main Roles in This Part
-
Serhat Tecer – The son of a crime boss. He wants to live a normal life with Zeynep, but his father’s world keeps pulling him back. He is brave but desperate.
-
Zeynep – Serhat’s fiancée. She is loving, patient, and deeply hurt by past betrayals. She wants a simple, honest life.
-
Yusuf Bey – Serhat’s father. He is a powerful but now possibly sick or weakened crime leader. He wants Serhat to take over his illegal operations.
-
Tecer (Serhat’s brother) – He acts as Serhat’s confidant. He tries to protect Serhat and warn him about their father.
-
Berrak – Serhat’s mother. She is depressed, broken, and abandoned by her own mother. She feels worthless but is reminded that she is the mother of Serhat’s children – a fact no one can change.
-
Gamze – Mustafa’s fiancée. She is opportunistic and dreams of a better life through family connections.
-
Mustafa – Gamze’s fiancé and Zeynep’s brother. He is proud and refuses to beg for jobs. He is willing to end his engagement if Gamze only wants his family name.

How This Part Ends (Climax & Cliffhanger)
The first part ends on two major cliffhangers:
-
The Attack on Pelin and Ebru – Just as they are celebrating their new company, masked men burst into their office shouting “Hakmarrje!” (Revenge!). This confirms that Yusuf Bey’s criminal war has now spilled over to innocent people connected to the family. The season finale sets up a violent confrontation in the next season.
-
The Wedding Preparations vs. Hidden Danger – Zeynep and Serhat are planning their dream wedding at a meaningful hotel. But behind the romance, Serhat is hiding his father’s threats, the police investigation, and a mysterious envelope that contains secrets worth killing for. The episode ends with Zeynep refusing her mother and trying to build a new life, while Serhat is torn between love and his family’s dark legacy.
No resolution is given. The episode clearly sets up a Season 2 where:
-
The secret of the envelope will be revealed.
-
Yusuf Bey’s illness or death will trigger a power struggle.
-
The revenge attacks will escalate.
-
Serhat must choose between becoming a crime boss or losing everyone he loves.
Final Note
The first part of Episode 32 is a transition episode – from love and hope (weddings, new business) to inevitable violence (revenge, kidnapping threats, family betrayal). Serhat’s father is dying, his enemies are closing in, and even innocent people like Pelin and Ebru are no longer safe. The season finale ends not with a conclusion, but with a promise of war.
