Episode 2 - Jealousy
Nare’s suicide attempt is broken just in time. Her trance ends with two people – Melek on her mind and Sancar next to her body.
They say if it doesn’t kill you, it makes it stronger. Nare realizes why Eminem ft Rihanna “Friends with a monster that’s under my bed” is still popular and changes her plans to suit her emotions. Her new mantra is to start a new life with her daughter; far away from people who don’t believe her.
Halise organizes a kurban of lamb to show her acceptance of the DNA result and hoping to stop the gossip mills going overdrive. Hurray Melek Efeoglu gets her green card ;-)
The new bride has developed a irritable consummate syndrome and hence put her hormones into devious plans.
This episode largely to establishes the relationship of Sancar & his daughter Melek. They are just adorable to watch and replica on the tempered behaviors’!!
Sancar dutifully explains the origins of the Efeoglu clan and their friendship with Gediz’s ancestors. Melek is sharp to pick up the undercurrent of the history.
Gediz spends time with Nare to understand her inner turbulence and next move.
Jealousy is a form of hatred built on insecurity.
Sancar is shown to be a provoked with anything to do with Nare. Gediz having pathetic weakness to Nare while being fully aware of the ex-flames burning each other. Akin can concoct a story to suite his needs. Finally Menseke and Guven had their bile supplied from the village which could white wash Halise’s plans. ;-)
Evlan & Yahya carry the burden of being barren. This can be a spark off b/w Menseke and Evlan.
Nare Willie Winkie runs through the town …in the nightgown…rapping at the window and crying at the lock.
This part of the screen play looked repetitive and could have been improvised.
Halise believes in keeping her enemies closer; masterstroke to separate Melek and Nare :(
Guven looks like a man of action and less words. He compromises with Akin for a ransom and catches Nare into a mousetrap.
Nare and Kavruk give a hint of deep bonding in the few frames shown to us. Kavruk being a servant to Efeoglu could restrict him from sharing the truth about Nare’s cliff drop to Sancar soon after the misunderstanding?
Gediz moves around the central characters with agility to keep his intentions guessing.
Sancar buries the legend of the scorned bird near his love nest.
Let the bad blood(insecurity) bleed and cleanse the system for a new beginnings!!
PS : Wonder what is the intent of Halise's character to speak in riddles and admonishing tone.....(sic)
