A photographer later approaches Recep for a picture. Initially hesitant, he strikes a triumphant pose before switching to a rude one, much to Sibel's amusement. She joins him for a selfie and invites him to a hotel comedy event, which he agrees to attend. Onstage, Recep inadvertently becomes a contestant in a partner game. His earlier massage client volunteers to be his partner, much to his dismay. In the game, they must pop balloons by sitting on each other. However, the client's weight breaks the chair, embarrassing Recep, who fat-shames her in frustration.
Recep is caught drinking from a display fountain by Erim, who berates him for insulting his game partner and causing problems. Recep threatens to tear down the hotel with his trucker community, much to the confusion of Erim. Moments later, the truckers arrive, ready to carry out the threat. Erim tries to stop them by being friendly, but they threaten him in response. Recep warns Erim that if he ever tries to kick him out again, the hotel will be torn down.
Later, on the beach, Sibel breaks off her engagement over the phone due to her new-found feelings for Recep, causing her mother to intervene. They argue, and her mother storms off. Recep finds Sibel upset and comforts her. A few minutes later, when Sibel's mother is in danger of being hit by a horse, Recep rushes to save her, but she confuses this as assault and berates him, all the while ordering for medical assistance. Recep, exhausted, th collapses onto a floating tube, unaware it's connected to a speedboat. The boat suddenly accelerates, throwing Recep into the ocean, where he curses at it from afar.
In the hotel infirmary, Sibel and her mother engage in another heated argument about Sibel's love interests, leading Sibel to storm out. Meanwhile, Recep is chatting with his receptionist at an outdoor bar. Spotting Sibel on the beach, he approaches her, trying to lighten the mood with jokes, only to be blindsided when she reveals she's engaged and can't reciprocate his feelings. Devastated, Recep flees. That night, on the beach, he tearfully sings a song, catching the attention of his concerned receptionist. Recep confides in him about feeling tormented by his relationships. The next morning, Recep abruptly decides to leave the hotel, instructing the receptionist to deliver a bag of marbles to Sibel, its significance unknown. After an emotional farewell, Recep departs. Erim reprimands the receptionist for Recep's behavior, leading to his firing. But spotting Sibel and her mother leaving, he remembers Recep's gift and rushes to the airport to deliver it to her. As Sibel examines the marbles, she realizes they're from their childhood, dawning on her that Recep was her long-lost childhood love.
