The Season 2 finale of As the Crow Flies gives us everything—messy breakups, career implosions, backstabbing, revenge, and a last-minute sex tape scandal that nobody asked for. But let’s be honest, the real stars of this episode are Aslı, Yusuf, and Guliz, while Lale and Kenan continue their soap opera that no one cares about.

The episode opens with Kenan, fresh off learning that Lale and Selim are officially done, dramatically driving to Lale’s apartment in what can only be described as a horror movie sequence. As he speeds through the streets, we get multiple flashbacks of The Infamous Peach Shirt. Sir, please retire this relic from your youth.

Just as he’s about to go full stalker mode and show up at Lale’s doorstep, Nepo baby News Queen Guliz arrives to interrupt his mission. She bulldozes her way into his apartment with an offer, but Kenan, being Kenan, is only interested in getting Aslı fired. He can barely focus on the fact that someone wants to pay him big bucks for a cushy new job because he’s too obsessed with screwing over Aslı. Priorities, Kenan.

Meanwhile, Müge meets Lale at a restaurant, pretending to be besties again and ordering half the menu like she’s celebrating something. Lale, unimpressed, asks her about her house in Datça (?) and subtly suggests she move there permanently. Müge, catching on, absolutely snaps.

She blames Lale for ruining her life, calls her a monster, and wishes for her total downfall. The best part? This full-on meltdown happens as waiters awkwardly deliver a feast of food to the table. Perfect timing. Lale, ever the queen of composure, walks away unfazed, while a voiceover reminds us: A lion takes the hit and keeps moving. Müge, however, is rotting with rage and plotting her next move.

Back at the newsroom, Kenan spends the entire day lurking and staring at Lale like a lunatic. He keeps trying to get her alone, but every time, something interrupts him. Finally, he locks himself in her dressing room like a true weirdo and whispers, “Isn’t it time we talk, Lale?”

Before she can respond, the newsroom bursts in to celebrate Kenan’s last day. His plans foiled, Kenan goes back to doing what he does best—emotionally manipulating Lale live on air.

As she prepares to broadcast, he whispers into her earpiece, “Are you finally mine?” Ew. Ew. Ew.

Then, in the middle of her interview, he keeps whispering things like “Are you afraid of me?” and “Do you think I’m too good for you?” Again, EW. But when she has to say “yes” in response to her guest, Kenan takes it as a sign she’s agreeing to be with him.

The result? Gross. The moment is played as romantic, but really, it feels like something out of a psychological thriller.

Next thing we know, they’re at Lale’s apartment… and Kenan is wearing The Peach Shirt once more. The show wants us to think this is a passionate, long-awaited reunion, but instead, it’s just two toxic people making an even worse decision.

The next morning, Lale finds a cup of terrible coffee waiting for her. When she complains, Kenan smugly reveals that he already ordered her a coffee machine. The audacity of this man to act like a savior over a Keurig.

While Lale and Kenan are off playing romantic getaway, Aslı is unraveling. The internet has turned against her, and ratings are in freefall....
