Meryem and Levent fight for survival while Cüneyd spirals into madness. As Zeynep and Mira face family crisis, Vahid's arrival brings strict rules and fear. Levent writes against reactionaries while seeking evidence to save Meryem.

While Meryem loses consciousness after being stabbed, the Alkanlı family is shaken by the suspicious death of Beste. The evidence that could save Meryem has disappeared, and Levent has hardened his stance because of Vahid, whom he holds responsible for Beste’s death. He has become an intolerant man who openly fights against Vahid and the darkness he represents.

Meryem awakens from a deep coma as Mira learns the truth. Overwhelmed by the weight of what she’s discovered, Mira seeks solace from the one person who doesn’t know her well. Meanwhile, Zeynep learns that Mira has been hiding Cüneyd's whereabouts from her, leaving her devastated by the betrayal. Cüneyd, struggling to make sense of fragmented memories, is slowly drawn closer to both Lokman and Cüneyd himself as Vahid continues his search for the elusive book.

As Cüneyd encounters Zeynep in the house, his mind leads him to Sadi’s last-minute solution, which saves Meryem from Naim’s clutches. Meanwhile, an incident involving Melike at the dervish lodge causes an uproar.

Realizing from Zeynep’s remaining sketch that the sect is after Lokman, Cüneyd burns the book to save him, only to discover that Vahid is his father. Now, Vahid has no other option but Cüneyd, who has memorized the mysterious book. Meanwhile, Levent can no longer tolerate Mira’s efforts to separate Zeynep and Meryem and makes a decision, even if it means opposing his daughter. However, Meryem, who has reunited with her daughter after years, does not want to take any step without her approval.

Vahid demands the book from Cüneyd, whom he holds with a falsified report. Levent contests the report, striving to bring Cüneyd before the board again, where he himself will also be present. However, Cüneyd must either recall his identity or convince the doctors of who he is. Zeynep becomes his greatest ally in this endeavor. When Vahid labels Cüneyd as insane in front of the sect, breaking the hope of the Cüneyd followers, Sadi Hüdayi steps in to help Cüneyd, who is overwhelmed by everyone seeing him as a savior.

As Mira’s reputation is tarnished, she begins to face difficult days at school. Fortunately, Zeynep is determined to support her through this process. Meanwhile, Vahid aims to increase his influence over the dervish lodge by using the Cüneydîs, while Cüneyd, Sadi Hüdayi, and Zeynep take action to uncover his plans and discover the power behind him. The key to this is Cüneyd continuing to engage with the questions in the book.

Upon learning that Mira is his daughter, Naim is determined to make Meryem and Levent’s lives a living hell, with Vahid’s assistance. Meanwhile, as Cüneyd realizes that the woman he has seen in his visions is his mother, he is forced to confront the secrets he has long been running from, pushing him to the brink of losing his sanity entirely. Zeynep, who is on Cüneyd’s trail, finds a way to bring him to Levent. However, Cüneyd knows that the true reckoning, the one that could bring him back to life, will take place in the dervish lodge.

Cornered by Cüneyd and Zeynep’s plan, Vahid struggles to figure out how to fulfill the prophecy of the Seyyide required to become the Seal of the Saints (Hatem-ül Evliya). Meanwhile, as Laedri and the Cüneydîs face off like father and son, the dervish lodge teeters on the brink of war. Despite Sadi’s efforts to prevent bloodshed, the truth about baby Elif and Kevser is revealed, leaving both him and Müyesser in a tight spot. Cüneyd must find a way to protect his followers and loved ones from Vahid’s wrath.

With Vahid’s disappearance, Cüneyd takes action to erase his sinister traces. This sharp transformation, which wins Zeynep’s heart, worries some mortals and Sadi Hüdayi. Moreover, a proposal extended to Müyesser brings Cüneyd and Sadi into conflict, prompting Cüneyd to resolve this dilemma not alone but with an idea Vahid would never approve of.

Vahid's assassination attempt has increased Zeynep's concern for Cüneyt, and what happened afterward has further reinforced her distrust of Sadi Hüdayi. Although Mira tries to support her sister, Zeynep's inability to reach Cüneyt due to Sadi's obstacles and the inadequacy of the answers she receives push her to seek the truth by her own means. Meanwhile, as Levent and Meryem try to strengthen their relationship, Meryem is also struggling to free herself from the effects of her previous marriage. However, the significant difference between her new and old life stirs fears for both her spirituality and her daughter Zeynep.
