Some thoughts on ep. 57 of #Hercai

Do not be sad. Because the creator sends hope in the most desperate moments.
Remember, the heaviest rain comes out of the darkest cloud.

PRAISE
The first tweet goes to Ebru and Akın who have carried the dizi since 57 episodes.
Someone should come and kiss your feet 24/7, we know who this someone is.
#Hercai

2
OPENING SCENE/DREAM SEQUENCE
So, let’s get straight away into one of the most discussed scenes from last episode. I want you to read first this description of pearls:
#Hercai

3
“Myths have it that pearls keep your children safe while strengthening your relationships. It is also said that these little gemstones are symbolic of the wearer’s loyalty, generosity, integrity, and purity.” (cit.)
#Hercai

4
The scene opens with Reyyan screaming at Miran “You gave me your word. I will not forgive you. Our son is here” and we plunge into Miran’s dream/vision. We see him standing at a grown tree on which we see a blue ribbon and one single pomegranate.
#Hercai

5
I believe also this time it stands for Miran’s life (big tree) and not Umut’s life (little tree yet to grow), as I wrote already in my dream analysis of Reyyan in ep. 51. In both dreams, it’s Miran’s life which is threatened.
#Hercai

6
In the first dream it was Azize who threatened his life, now it’s Fusun, but let’s put things in order.
#Hercai

7
We see Miran who starts to wander in the dream as he hears Reyyan’s voice calling for him to find Umut and Reyyan. He kisses Umut, he kisses Reyyan and he touches the pearl necklace and we see a little girl appear, calling for Miran.
#Hercai

8
We switch back to the here and now and see Reyyan saying: “Stay, don’t go away. You can’t leave me. I will not forgive you. Keep your word.” And we see how Reyyan puts her hand on the belly and she keeps saying:
#Hercai

9
“We will have a son, we will be together, you will be together, you will laugh together.”
We get back into Miran’s vision and he starts to walk away and Reyyan goes after him, trying to stop him.
#Hercai

10
We see how he looks at her, he touches the pearl necklace and he tears it apart and he starts walking to the girl. R. falling to her knees pleading “Don’t go. Don’t go away. Miran don’t go away. Stay. Don’t go away.” Miran arrives at the girl and looks back to Reyyan.
#Hercai

11
Reyyan is on her knees the same way, pleading and begging not to leave her, as she did the morning of the revenge. Miran arrives at the girl, looks at her, kneels to her. Now we see Umut away from Reyyan, we see Reyyan halfway between Miran and the girl and Miran+
#Hercai

12
+ looking back at Reyyan and “miraculously” the pearl necklace being together again. Miran gets up and smiles looking at Reyyan with the girl still with him and he makes a little step towards Reyyan and at this point starts to breathe again.
#Hercai

13
So, having this all laid out what was most discussed was the breaking of the pearl necklace. This moment reminded me of ep. 49 when Azize’s praying beans broke at the hospital the moment Aslan died.
#Hercai

14
And here my interpretation starts. Miran got into the position of fighting for his life bcs of Fusun’s revenge.
It started with the death of Aslan and back then Fusun “killed” one of the babies and is now continued with the death of Harun and Fusun “killing” Miran.
#Hercai

15
Once more bcs of revenge that was in first place started by Miran himself, he is yet again at a crossroads and in front of the decision of “leaving” Reyyan. With the breaking of the necklace we get to see Reyyan kneeling and begging on the floor.
#Hercai

16
This is not a coincidence here the same way it’s not a coincidence we see the apparently the killed baby girl. Reyyan rightfully screams at him and says “You can’t leave me. I will not forgive you. Keep your word”.
#Hercai

17
When Miran reaches the girl and looks back at Reyyan, the necklace is whole again bcs of course Miran decides not to leave Reyyan and to keep the word he has given to Reyyan, and thus not breaking his promise.
#Hercai

18
Because he is not breaking his promise, the necklace appears whole again as it symbolizes that this test “strengthens” their relationship.
#Hercai

19
With Miran, we also see the baby girl, so for me Miran and the baby girl come back to life or rather were never dead in the first place bcs the symbol of the pearl necklaces is “pearls keep your children safe while strengthening your relationships.”
#Hercai

20
Isn’t it also interesting that Miran was able to approach the baby girl once his hands touched Reyyan’s belly? Bcs our Günes is still there! She even says “stay by my side, baba” in the sense, don’t die baba bcs I am also still here.
#Hercai

21
It was said all this was a miracle, so a miracle for Miran and Günes. And she is super jealous only Umut gets Miran’s kisses. Furthermore, even Miran said later in the episode: He [Umut] is like the sun [Günes], spreads light everywhere!
#Hercai

22
There are still two lentils in Reyyo’s belly and I am not giving up my faith until Reyyan gives birth.
#Hercai

23
WORDS I LOVED
- “Forget everything. But don’t forget me.”
- “The sins one person commits does not leave him/her alone.”
- “Trust is hard to win, but easy to lose.”

24
FORESHADOWING
-Don’t let him choose between me and his mother.
(Reyyan thoughts)

-R: “I am afraid something will happen.”
(Reyyan to Miran on the terrace)

▶️If this is not foreshadowing ...

25
FUNNY MOMENT
- The way Mahmoud opens the door to the car for Nashu.
- Who would have ever thought Firat was going to protect Nashu. I thought Firat was helping Fusun, ama yok, Firo is helping Miro’s dede. :)
#Hercai

26
QUESTIONS
- So the steering wheel of Miran’s car got blocked? Was that translation correct?

- Why does Cihan shoot the driver for Fusun? Why does he help her?

- How does Cihan know about Reyyan knowing?
#Hercai

27
WEIRD EDITING
Azra approaches R. after several scenes, having been in M’s room, talking about being discharged etc.& then she approaches R.&says: “I'm Azra.”
▶️This is only one of the weird editing I spotted in the whole episode. I hope this will be fixed soon.
#Hercai

28
NASHU GETTING THE NEWS ABOUT MIRAN
Did Zehra call someone when Nashu/Cihan/Azat leave for the hospital. Did she call Mahfuz? How did he know something happened to Miran? Parts were missing here...
#Hercai

29
FIRAT AND ZEYNEP
F: “I thought your family is here Zeynep, you have someone in Istanbul? Where do you stay when you go there? I want to know more about you.”
▶️The look Zeynep had on her face. I couldn't read it, so there must be more to her character for sure.
#Hercai

30
EMOTIONAL MOMENT
F: “You enjoy each other, let mom come to her senses, I will come and kiss her hand.”
#Hercai

31
▶️Firo having tears in his eyes for Miran and Miran being happy that his brother Firat will come to meet his mother properly in a calm moment. This scene made me emotional, later I wanted Firat to come and take Dilsha away ahahaha.
#Hercai

32
HAZAR AND ZEHRA
I liked it that we saw now in two episodes that Hazar knows who his wife is and to whom he belongs without any weird feelings of love intrest in Dilsha whatsoever.
#Hercai

33
DILSHA ASKING REYYAN TO LEAVE THE ROOM
▶️ I liked Miran’s first instinct of saying Reyyan can hear everything Dilsha need to say to him.
But have you all seen how Dilsha even avoided sitting where Reyyan sat before. :(

34
CONTRACT OF AZIZE-DILSHA
D: “I asked Azize for a life in exchange of the fact that she concluded me …”
▶️Is this a lie that Dilsha is telling Miran? Because from the flashback of ep. 57 young Azize says: “Take it. I brought you a baby.
#Hercai

35
You lost your son, but I brought you a daughter. Take it and consider it your baby. Love her, grow her like yours.” From this we got a completely different impression. It seemed that Azize gave Azra to her without Dilsha having asked for her before.
#Hercai

36
But now Dilsha says she made a contract with Azize asking for a child!? Questions, questions, questions… and who is lying here?
#Hercai

37
DILSHA-REYYAN
I understood at the beginning that D. was afraid of Azize, especially at the beginning when she saw Azize/Reyyan talking. But now the picture is different: D. gets mad at Reyyan for only talking to her but she is totally fine that Azra even meets Azize.
#Hercai

38
Dilsha is traumatised for sure for everything she went through but she is “clear-minded” enough to understand what is going on. If she apparently made a contract with Azize, why isn’t she suspecting that maybe also Reyyan is doing something against her own “free” will?
#Hercai

39
Instead of asking&listening she gives her the silent treatment…and to be able to do so, you need to be “clear” minded. I am sooo suspicious of D. and I hate it they make me feel this way about her. Why couldn’t she stay D., the woman I loved so much in the flashbacks?
#Hercai

40
ZEHRA WATCHING OVER REYYAN-DILSHA
Z: “Does Dilsha treat you badly. Tell me.”
▶️I cannot tell how much I loved that at least Zehra saw how Dilsha treats Reyyan. Who knows if she is going to be the one who spills the beans what Miran did to Reyyan in the first place.
#Hercai

41
AZAT AND GONÜL
I loved the scene between the two, it was fresh, funny and pleasant to watch. I hope for more.
#Hercai

42
THE KITCHEN SCENE
As everyone I thought a long time about the kitchen scene and I asked myself why I didn’t like it. Yes, it was cringy to watch Miran and Dilsha but it was more than that. And then I realized what it was that put me off:
#Hercai

43
The spin of Miran&Dilsha was the same M. did with Reyyan when they found out about the pregnancy.And it’s something I want to see ReyMir doing, not mother and son or at least not at this stage of the story. The whole scene was too forced and simply not natural at all.
#Hercai

44
And as if this was not enough comes the “passing of the bread” intermezzo. And here I wanted to go off at Miran. He needed to react in this situation, also if he was going to spoil the mood.
#Hercai

45
This bread scene reminded me so much of the two scenes we had between ReyMir when Reyyan was a prisoner at the mountain house and later at the Aslanbey konak. Back then she herself said: “I will not accept bread from my enemy.”
#Hercai

46
Allooo, Miran, wake up!! It’s not the fact that a mother wants her son to pass her the bread, so use your two brain cells for once. She is being hostile towards your wife and sees her as her “enemy”!
#Hercai

47
And another reason I got so very sad too:
Miran with this behaviour was encouraging his own mother to treat him superior because he is a man compared to Reyyan who is a woman/ daughter-in-law.
#Hercai

48
He better remembers what Reyyan said in her monologue in which he himself cried his eyes out: “I don’t want to raise my son as a pascha, no one will call my son “king”.” But he himself accepts that his mother treats him this way and Reyyan less than him.
#Hercai

49
I wished that in this scene also Shükran was present and at least had her to witness this scene and how Dilsha continues to treat Reyyan unfairly. What I also didn’t understand: why was there no follow-up scene in which Reyyan asked Miran why Azra calls Azize “teyze”?
#Hercai

50
And Dilsha was totally “ok” with it in the first place.
Off ya inconsistency was screaming in this episode ....
#Hercai

51
FUSÜNS LOST DAUGHTER BEING CALLED GÜNES
It’s not a coincidence that the “dead thought” daughter of Fusun was named “Günes” and Fusun herself apparently killed a baby “Günes”.
Let me just leave this here, but remember it later. 🤣
#Hercai

52
AZIZE-MAHMOUD
Mahmoud gave the second empty cartridge case to Azize. So, one killed Harun and one was the one that Cihan fired in Harun’s hand in order to traces gunpowder on it.
#Hercai

53
But back in episode 56 I understood that Fusun brought three empty cartridge cases from the crime scene together with the corpse of Harun back to the mansion. What was her speech about the three cartridge cases?
#Hercai

54
FIRAT LYING TO MIRAN // AZAT SENDING THE PICTURE OF THE TRUCK DRIVER
So, Firat lied to Miran to protect him and not worry Reyyan, although he found the truck driver and Firat knows that Fusun is responsible for the accident.
#Hercai

55
Firat goes with Miran to face Cihan but did Firat tell Miran that Fusun is behind all this and that Cihan probably shot the truck driver to “protect” her?
How did it come that Azat knew who the truck driver was anyways?
#Hercai

56
There were so many plot holes/things skipped in the trio Miran-Firat-Azat working together that it gave me a headache.
#Hercai

57
REYYAN FACING FUSUN
As always I admire the way Reyyan faces people and the way I was cheering for her in this scene when confronting Fusun! Ebru totally owned this scene!!
#Hercai #EbruŞahin

58
NASHU-AZIZE
N: “So many sins, you burned so many souls. I still stayed next to you bcs I loved Ayse, I owed her … I have no strength to justify the sins of Azize. Why are you trying to cover one sin with another one? Why?”
#Hercai

59
▶️Hallelujah, the earth sent some brain cells to moustache head! Although I find it quite late bcs the penny dropped only now that he knows that Azize hid also Fusun’s daughter who is “the least'' related to them.
#Hercai

60
What about the pain Reyyan had to endure, what about Miran’s pain? Hazar’s pain? How was that not enough for you to react?
#Hercai

61
BURNING THE HAND OF THE MAID
To be honest I always thought Azize was bad, but Fusun reached a new level of physical cruelty. I was already shocked in the ep. when she shot the guard who lost D.,but to burn the hand of the maid as if it was the most normal thing to do😥
#Hercai

62
AZIZE CALLING REYYAN AND AZRA
So, Azize called Azra to meet her an 1 hour later and asked Reyyan to go to the door too. I was wondering what her original plan was here.
#Hercai

63
MIRAN AND CIHAN
M: “What is your problem with me? Why do you want to kill me? I told myself that you are my father’s brother. And he forgave. Told myself that you are my grandfather’s son. Told myself that you are an uncle, he will definitely show mercy. But no.
#Hercai

64
You are not going to show mercy. Why are you constantly stabbing me in the back? What do you want from me? What do you have against me?”
▶️ From the fragman I thought Miran had these tears in his eyes bcs of Reyyan, but in fact Miran was having tears in his eyes bcs+
#Hercai

65
+Cihan keeps rejecting him and even trying to kill him. I found this reaction a bit weird in a way. I understand that Miran faced rejection many times in his life but he gets angry tears for Cihan? I kind of couldn't follow the logic here.
#Hercai

66
AZIZE-DILSHA
A: “I suffered, longed for Miran. But I found comfort in her [Azra].”
▶️ If this translation was correct, this sentence of Azize stuck with me in a way and again, I know Dilsha is mentally unstable, should have raised questions within Dilsha too.
#Hercai

67
Why does Azize say she longed for Miran? What happened to Miran in all these years? Why did Azize long for Azra if she had Miran as her grandchild? I am not saying she should ask these questions to Azize, but have a real conversation with her son instead.
#Hercai

68
There were so many things that are not adding up right now with Dilsha …
#Hercai

69
OVERALL COMMENT
While I was watching the episode live I liked it, I must be honest. But when watching it with subs many, many questions arise in me and I hope the script will take a positive turn soon bcs what we get at the moment is quite messy and not the “Hercai”+
#Hercai

70
+we all fell in love to begin with. I wished the plot would evolve around the old characters, giving them the right space and depth to get to know them and their back story.
#Hercai

71
Of course I loved the child actors in this episode. And to be honest both kids are too perfect to not play ReyMir's twins. And the girl was so perfect to be mini Reyyan that it would be a shame she appeared only once.
So, another reason why we get our two lentils.❤️❤️
#Hercai

72
And my apologies if this wasn’t maybe my most cheerful thread but the episode left me with many questions in my head. Hope we will get some answers next Sunday.
Take care beautiful people and don't forget to smile!🦋
