I was so confident at the end of the last recap I would be doing these faster lol ... a motto I always try to live by is say a little do a lot... so when I don't follow through its gut wrenching. Sorry for the delay but I appreciate you sticking around and waiting... you rock ; ) just admit it

Before we start this episode I just want to give you a little background of what is going on in the Erkenci Kus world around this episode airing...

DO NOT READ UNLESS OK WITH SPOILERS

First: ever since the giving of the perfume and winter break, EKs ratings were dropping. Now they weren't in the 2s or anything but they had high ratings in the summer and so the comparison was jarring. Production made a decision and announced it during the time of this episode that Asli the writer would be ending her reign on the 38th episode and Ayse would be back for ep 39... the fandom was ecstatic. That is what most of us wanted... now from the weeks onward more decisions were made. I don't remember around what episode everything was announced so I will tell you the background of everything here....

Ek was a low budget summer romantic comedy dizi that wasn't expected to last past the summer. If you recall I even mentioned that CY paid for most of his costumes and the tattoo at the beginning because production couldn't afford it. Therefore this late in the season ek was running out of money. Originally they planned for Ek to go on a break over the summer and come back in the fall for a season 2. And would end that winter break. However production worried they would lose the already dwindling audience over the summer. They decided to not have a break and shoot straight through the summer. This was hard for the actors as they work nonstop; 6 days a week, 16-18 hour days. CY was originally supposed to go to the army in the summer but he pushed off his military service for January as a result. In Lebanon CY spoke about the difficulty how they wished they had a break but sometimes things aren't possible.

Usually during a break is when they get more deals and build up more funding, etc and gold's subsidiaries were in financial crisis at this time and were on the verge of bankruptcy. In order to save money from renting an expensive building to shoot in they let us know that after episode 39, EK will no longer be filming at the Agency and there will be a time jump and shooting in new locations. Which will explain in the beginning of the 40s you will notice they really only shoot from one location.

Also it was announced that the actors playing Osman, ayhan, and guliz would be leaving the show before episode 40.

The next month or so from episodes 36-39 was filled with speculation and announcements. It was really stressful time for the fandom as we didn't know what to expect from a time jump and no office etc

We were terrified what would prompt a time jump. Production shared that the time jump was do because of a big life change. The Fandom speculated someone would be leaving to cause a time jump with a new set because why else change set if a time jump where everyone stay in place.. so the stress of who will leave started. Does canem leave? Just Can? Just Sanem? We didn't know just a bunch of theories and back and forth with each other and hopes for storylines.
