Hercaipreviews December 29, 2025: episode tonight on Real Time
Umut has disappeared and the perpetrator of the kidnapping is Füsun (Aysegül Günay), who was in turn kidnapped by Azize (Ayda Aksel). Füsun turns the tables: if he doesn’t let her go, Reyyan (Ebru Sahin) and Miran (Akin Akinözü) will never see the child again. Furthermore, it places further conditions that will be revealed once she is free. Azize, faced with the possibility of causing even greater damage to her family, is forced to accept.
Back home, Füsun asks her men for information and wants to make sure that no problems arise, otherwise she will find “the whole Sadoglu family against her”. Yaren (Ilay Erkök) overhears the conversation and finds out where the child is, but decides not to say anything: it will be his revenge against his cousin. Reyyan is desperate and angry: she was the only one who wanted a united family and now she risks losing her son because of those who should protect her instead. “If something happens to my son, you will all pay dearly,” she says, and then accuses Azize of having dragged her husband into the abyss.
Reyyan also pushes Miran away, who shows up at Füsun ready to put aside any hatred, as long as he returns Umut safe and sound. The aunt accepts, but on one condition: Miran will have to put the gun with which Hazar (Serhat Tutumluer) was killed in the Sadoglu house and thus place the blame on Cihan (Serdar Özer).

Füsun’s Revenge
Also Azra (Sera Kutlubey) faces Füsun and retraces her steps: if she lets Umut go and puts an end to the fighting, she will leave Midyat together with her. The mother agrees, but omits some important details. Azize also has to face her family and in this case it is Nasuh (Macit Sonkan) who puts her under pressure: if the war with Füsun continues, she will no longer be able to count on him.
Miran returns home without Umut e Reyyan she is even more annoyed: why did she leave him in Füsun’s clutches? It gives way to a long outburst, in which He orders him to return home only when he finds Umut again. Cihan suffers from Hazar’s death and promises Reyyan that she and Miran will always be able to count on him and he will do everything to bring Umut back to her safely.
Shortly after, Miran and Mahfuz (Baris Yalçin) prepare to take Umut back, but are unaware that Füsun has no intention of returning the child. He has already deprived Azize of her son, now he wants to take Nasuh away from her too: he will succeed when she kills Cihan to avenge Hazar and then her partner will throw her out.
Cihan is accused of Hazar’s death
Unexpectedly, Reyyan receives a tip from a woman who has been helped by Hazar in the past: days earlier she saw two men with a newborn and fears that this event is connected to the kidnapping. So Reyyan is accompanied to the location by Firat (Cahit Gök). At the same time, two police officers show up at Sadoglu’s house to look for the weapon with which Hazar was murdered.
They find the gun and Füsun’s plan is perfected. So Miran has followed the orders and comes to the appointment to get his son back; while they negotiate the return of the child, Azize tells Füsun that she has kidnapped Azra and therefore the agreement falls through.
Azra accuses her aunt of not being that different from her mother: both she and Füsun sacrifice their dearest affections to blackmail each other. Miran also rails against her grandmother, demanding that she reveal where she has taken Azra. Despite the anger of his grandchildren, Azize hatches a plan to get Füsun to release Umut.

Hercai: Miran brings Umut home, but Reyyan pushes him away
While they all discuss the next move, Reyyan has already arrived at the house where Umut is supposed to be, but there is no trace of the child. In turn, Miran and Cihan continue their search, while Azra turns the tables to help Miran and Reyyan. The twist comes an instant later, when Miran brings Umut home and warns Cihan: to avoid having trouble with Füsun he must make the responsibility fall on him.
Cihan agrees to take the blame, but Mahfuz suggests not to blindly trust Füsun; therefore they decide to set a trap for her. Still, Cihan meets Azize and they reach an agreement: they will avenge Hazar together and frame Füsun.
In the end, the relationship between Miran and Reyyan is increasingly on the line: she reproaches him for having endangered little Umut and, consequently, their family. He tries to show her all his love and dedication, but it will take time before he regains Reyyan’s trust.
