In this episode of Turkish TV Obsessed, we discuss the 7th episode of "As the Crow Flies.” Here's what we discuss:

Asli’s Ankara Nightmare

Asli’s new assignment in small-town Ankara is not going well. After a rough start with her cameraman, things spiral when she intentionally lets the van roll down a hill.

Sad Selim Sets a Boundary

Back at Lale’s house, Selim—who’s officially being dubbed “Sad Selim”—wants Lale to make a decision: either choose him and drop Kenan from her life or face separation. It’s a major moment, and Salim’s not backing down.

Kenan Gaslights, Again

Kenan doubles down on the manipulation, trying to twist Lale’s words by saying she didn’t really say she didn’t want the kiss. Cue major gaslighting vibes as he demands Lale meet him by the ocean to give him an answer. So creepy!

Muge’s Apathy Hits a Peak

Muge is over it. She’s checked out of the negotiation and doesn’t care about Kenan and Lale’s lofty demands. She’s been the third wheel for so long, and it’s clear she’s done.

Drowning Dream (Metaphor Alert)

Lale dreams of drowning in her own pool—only to be “rescued” by Kenan, of course. The metaphor is strong here, people. Kenan is dragging her down, and it’s time to break free!

Asli’s Pneumonia Plot

In a dramatic turn, Asli walks out into a storm and gives herself pneumonia! This girl will stop at nothing to get what she wants. Next thing we know, she’s in the hospital ripping out IVs, refusing to let sickness slow her down. Dedication, or destruction?

Hot Husband Selim Bakes a Quiche

While Kenan’s out manipulating and gaslighting, Selim bakes a delicious quiche for Lale and even gives her space to make her own decision. Husband of the year, anyone?

Lale Finally Chooses

Lale goes to meet Kenan by the ocean (without the peach shirt) and delivers a glorious line: “I’m Lale the ancient, and we’re finished.” YES, girl! She chooses Selim and family over Kenan’s toxic drama.

Yusuf Snaps, Reveals BusBus Identity

Heartbroken after Asli blows him off, Yusuf posts on BusBus, revealing himself as the mystery gossip blogger! The stakes just got higher, folks.

Asli’s Downward Spiral Continues

After getting fired by Kenan, Asli hits rock bottom. She smashes her fists against the door, throws her purse at a Lale poster, and is on the verge of losing it all. But she’s not done yet…

The Showdown: Lale vs. Asli

In a legendary scene, Asli shows up at Lale’s house and things get heated. After throwing insults and smashing a wine glass on Lale’s head, the fight turns more physical. They’re choking each other, smashing through tables, and screaming “die!” at one another. It’s raw, intense, and BRUTAL.

The Cliffhanger

Asli grabs a statue and cracks Lale over the head, leaving her unconscious and bleeding on the floor. Is Lale dead? Is this Asli’s show now? We’ll have to wait to find out!

This episode is absolute fire, and the stakes just keep getting higher. From Asli’s ruthless ambition to Lale finally taking control of her life, we’re left wondering how this wild ride will end.
