In this episode of Turkish TV Obsessed, we discuss season 2, episode 4 of "As the Crow Flies.” Here's what we discuss:

Back to the Past

• The Flashback Nobody Asked For
• We’re whisked back to pre-fame Lale and Muge’s early days, and guess what? Muge was the “it” girl, while Lale was the quirky, glasses-wearing underdog. Cue Kenan’s creepy obsession kicking off with a sinister, “She’s mine if she looks at me.” Ew.
• Kenan’s Beige Origin Story
• Even in flashbacks, Kenan’s wardrobe is a tragic mix of sad beige sweaters and flannel.

Present Day Drama

• Lale Sets Boundaries (Almost)
• Kenan keeps violating Lale’s personal space. When she finally kicks him out of her dressing room while she’s changing, he has the audacity to ask, “What did you say?”
• Kenan Funds the Newsroom
• Without consulting Lale, Kenan starts paying for the show himself. Control move? Obviously. Lale’s face when Yusuf breaks the news: priceless.
• Cookies and Flooring Sponsorships
• Lale’s low ratings mean her broadcasts are hilariously sponsored by cookies and kitchen flooring. When the kids demand pizza over her desire to dine out, it’s another loss for Team Lale.

Asli’s Spiral Continues

• Yusuf Has Had Enough
• Asli pulls a “new number, who dis?” move and tricks Yusuf into coming over by faking an emergency. Cue wine, charcuterie, and Asli ready to get down. Yusuf, ever the voice of reason, responds with, “Why are you like this? Is it childhood trauma?”
• Apartment Drama
• Asli’s enemies leak photos of her old, rundown apartment online, but she claps back live on air, turning it into an empowering story about her rise from nothing. “I hope to inspire girls with big dreams.” Nice save.

Nepo Baby’s Big Moment

• Guliz Takes Over
• Guliz is now queen of the newsroom and ready to make changes. With Muge kissing her ass and Asli scrambling to stay afloat, it’s clear Nepo Baby is a force to be reckoned with.

The Cliffhanger

• Asli’s Creepy Visit
• Lale and Selim are about to leave for a getaway when Asli shows up, uninvited and unhinged, in a hot pink blazer. Selim’s response? A casual “Honey, I’ll be in the car.” Lale invites Asli inside, leaving us with so many questions:
• Is Asli here to kill her?
• Will Lale fight back this time?
• What is Selim doing in the car????!!!!

Between Kenan’s controlling antics and Selim’s “unbothered husband” vibes? Yusuf remains the only man in this show worth rooting for.
