PRAISE
My praise goes first and foremost to Ebru&Akın as every week. In this episode they showed us once more how versatile as a on-screen couple they are:from comic, to romantic, to overdramatic (M.) back to flirty, to melancolic. They served us all and served us well.

R: “Why don’t you consider Miran your family, uncle? I tell you why, because if you considered him a family member, then you have to admit that you doomed your own nephew to death. Miran shot Azat to keep him alive. You?You deliberately doomed your own nephew to death.”

QUESTIONS
*Is Gonül superior to Harun because she is the daughter of an Aslanbey (male) and Harun is the son of a Aslanbey (woman)?
I don’t understand why she is “higher” to Harun if Haruns is the man.

*I don’t get the relationship between Yaren and Harun. First they “suddenly” exchange gazes of being in love, then again to hate each other, then again to be worried for each other. I thought H. wanted to get rid of Y. ASAP. I can’t figure out where this is leading.

*Harun wants to give Dilsha back to Miran?
I am very confused about his character right now because he seems to bring real justice to everyone without hurting though, at least it seems so. He rightfully asks Fusun:+

in E.1 not one nightmare became reality so far. So let’s get into details:
The scene starts with M. and R. are on a land and we see a little tree. Miran waters it and leaves to get more water. Do you remember M’s sentence:

“We were born on these lands where our faith was written for us long before we were born.”
So in a way everything that happens to them, was already written in their destiny and will happen to them in a way or another.

So while the tree is little, we see “grown up” M. and R. but in fact we have to imagine them as children.
They were both born on these lands, they’re faith was written long before they were even born.

Miran waters the plant, it takes roots, but he walks away = he leaves for Kars after D’s death but the destiny of Reyyan and Miran to meet again was already decided for them.

Then there is a time jump because the tree has “grown up” and R. says “Look M., 2 pomegrantes have grown”. One pomegranate literally falls & it’s the moment R. starts screaming for Miran. The blood we see is in that moment is when M. took revenge on her&made her fall.

He made her fall in the true sense of the word. It was like R. was dying, it was like a second attempt to her life because before her dad left her and wanted her mother to abort her, now she was abandoned by her husband. Like two attacks on Reyyan’s life symbolized+

+by losing the fetus but in fact it’s her own life. Then we see her screaming for the second pomegranate “Help me, help me, it will break, if it falls, my baby will die, help me please.” Now we suddenly see two burnt hands and the blue ribbon.

#Hercai
33
So the first pomegranate was Reyyan, the second one is Miran, thus the blue ribbon. Reyyan screams “Help me, help me”. It’s a way how she was afraid for Miran’s life (and their future together) all this time she fought against Azize/Miran’s demons from the past.

34
The burnt hands symbolize Azize. She tried in every possible way to destroy M., literally break him, in the past for such a long time (remember the Fusun’s sentence: “everything u touch is dying”) and now we are at the point of the story in which Azize is regretful.

And thus she "helps" R. and saves the pomegranate from falling (which is Miran) and not killing him and she does so by bringing Miran to her “belly”. The two created a new life:

a) R. doesn’t know about A’s burnt hands, why does she dream about them?
b) Reyyan wakes up and says: “Dad is here my baby, I already love you very much, which is why I am so afraid and worried.” R. is afraid and worried because of what she lived through in the past.

R. sees Mahfuz’s box whom she just told the night before this dream: “I owe u my life but u were the one who didn’t want my life to begin with.”
All this said, I think it is more a way of reading what happened to Reyyan in the past then what will happen in the future.

I can’t with Nashu as I can’t with Azize right now. I think it’s incredible how he is in denial and how unreflected he is about the past.

Everything he has done to Miran, everything he has ever done to Reyyan. How should that work by just ignoring the past? I liked however that again for three episodes straight now, trees are used to underline the concept of “children pay for the sins of their father.”

-Reyyan as a becoming mother
-Sultan as the mother who leaves her child for good and give her the chance to heal

EBRU’S SINGING
As we are so focused on D’s appearance or the possible loss of the baby/babies: here a round of applause for Ebru and her angelic voice in this scene!

MIRROR SHOT OF REYMIR WITH THE BELLY
I found it cute how Reyyan got embarrassed for having simulated her baby belly with a cushion and the way she wanted to undo it, but Miran just came in time and said: “Stop, you know this will be reality.”

Again it was Miran who lifted Reyyan to not be ashamed of her feelings and especially not to be ashamed of her feelings with him and to show them, not to hide them.

COMEDY AT ITS BEST
I must say I loved how Ebru&Akın’s delivery of a comic scene felt natural&was fun to watch. Here the 2 moments:
1)
M: “I wished I bought a whole garden of pomegranate.”
R: “Yeah, u go&buy gardens and make F. work.”
> R. pouring some truth here

THE GARDEN WORK
Let’s analyse that scene: ReyMir arrived with one pomegranate that Miran picked, but when they leave, they leave with two. And the old man wishing all the best for their baby. I want to believe that this was the foreshadowing we should most believe in:+

ReyMir will have a healthy first baby and after that they will have a second one. Have you paid attention that the pomegranate was first given to Reyyan and then to Miran? So, her baby will just be fine! We need to believe this!

AZIZE AND THE HER BROKEN BEAN CHAIN
Again, a very powerful image: Azize can’t fix the chain because of her burnt hands. And interesting question: can you fix something when you yourself are still on fire/still feel burnt?

Can you heal someone else if you are not healed yourself? And here I pick up on the opening quote: will Azize/Ayse ever be able to unite the hearts she herself pulled away and she herself tore apart for so many years?

FIRAT, ESMA, MIRAN AND GONÜL
Again a revelation of big, big kept secret is told when the characters are surrounded by trees.
Finally Esma can say what she couldn’t say for so many years: “I killed Nihat Aslanbey, I pushed him because he raped me. [...]

What can I say: a very, very powerful scene. I got goosebumps during the whole scene and I cried with Esma. The way the truth was told through another flashback and seeing desperate, young Esma who wanted to committ suicide was heartbreaking.

I liked that Esma went for the whole truth and said she pushed Nihat and that she didn’t say another lie as Azize suggested: “you will say I pushed him, you will say i killed him.” How hard it must be for Firat to hear and know that he is a child conceived by rape.

What I also couldn’t help but notice was the focus on Miran in this scene. I can’t but see that while E. said what happened to her he thought of his own mother and what she possibly went through with Mehmet. From physical to mental abuse to even rape because Mehmet+

MIRAN-FUSUN AND THE BURNING COAL
Once again we encounter the symbol of fire in one of the final scenes. We see Fusun “playing” with a piece of coal while talking to Miran.

harm allows God’s own power and judgment to fall upon that person. We must “leave room for God’s wrath” and wait for the vengeance God brings in His own time. When we relinquish to God our right to take revenge, we show faith in His justice.

God will bring conviction upon the sinning heart. Responding the way Jesus did to His enemies allows the “burning coals” of God’s righteousness and justice to operate within the soul of that person and hopefully bring him to repentance.” (CIT.)

So, with this definition in mind, I read this scene in a sequence:
1) At the beginning of the scene, F. plays with the coal and this stands for the time she “wait [ed] for the vengeance God brings in His own time” over Az. and all the harm she did to the family of F.

REYYAN-AZIZE FINAL SHOT
So, rightfully we are all worried that something might happen to the baby/babies. But I want to make a last comparison between R’s dream&the last scene of the episode. In R’s nightdream, we saw A’s burnt hands that were brought Reyyan’s belly.

Azize is Azize only with Fusun, she herself said: “I will be Ayse again, but with you [Fusun] I have to be Azize.
