Shekinah’s arrival in Turkey brings tension
In the July 15 episode, Shekinah arrives in Turkey with high hopes but is quickly disappointed by the state of Sarper’s apartment. The apartment looked unkempt, and the bottle shelf was still in place, which particularly upset her. The shelf symbolizes Sarper’s past relationships. “It feels disappointing and hurtful. I don’t know why he’s holding on to them so tightly,” Shekinah says about the shelf.
Previously, she was already upset about Sarper’s bottle shelf, but his inaction has made things even more disrespectful now. The bottles represented Sarper’s past and his unwillingness to let go. Shekinah was particularly upset that Sarper hadn’t created space for her to hang her clothes. She pointed out how messy the place was, adding that it looked like trash.

Sarper defends his actions
Sarper tried to downplay the significance of the bottles, claiming they reminded him of the places he visited and denying that they symbolized his exes. Shekinah’s frustration grew when Sarper asked if she was upset because of the bottle shelf, to which she bluntly said that she feels like nothing’s changed.
She then asked Sarper how he would feel if she had kept memories from her past relationships. She said, “How would you feel if I had a whole case full of things that remind me of other guys, and I don’t want to get rid of them?”

The argument escalates
Sarper struggled to justify keeping the bottles, and their conversation quickly turned heated. Amidst the argument, Shekinah revealed a 143-page love letter from her ex-boyfriend, using it to highlight the double standard in their relationship. Sarper was stunned and asked, “You keep it?” Shekinah replied, “Make peace with it.”
Shekinah expressed her frustration with Sarper’s double standards. She felt it was unfair for him to hold on to his past while expecting her to let go of hers. "I just feel like it’s disrespectful for him to tell me that I’m his future and his everything, yet hold onto these things from his past," she stated.
