Episode 7 of Season 2 of "Graveyard" kicks off with Sude's podcast shining the spotlight on Seher. A poignant flashback transports us to a moment when Seher sternly instructed Mert to decipher some damning videos and messages. Their parental figures then summoned them downstairs to commemorate Seher's achievement of becoming a lawyer—a fateful day that marked her untimely demise.
In the present timeline, Feriha discovers a fragment of the murderer's bullet, dating back four years, embedded in Bulent's spine. The police meticulously trace Seher's movements from that fateful night. She had retrieved some documents from her boss and then sprinted off. Her brief, 32-second conversation with Bahar's mother, Gulay, serves as one of the last known interactions before she reached out to Nasit, who failed to answer her call. When Seher was shot, Bulent was positioned behind her, indicating that the remaining bullet resides within her torso.
Hasan is deeply disturbed by these revelations, prompting the Graveyard to counsel Mert to lend him his support. Mert, eager to mend fences, plans a fishing trip with Hasan and expresses remorse for taking out his frustration on him. He has come to terms with the notion that Seher has finally found peace, now that he knows Bulent perished in prison. Hasan's fleeting smile fades once Mert departs.
The Graveyard necessitates exhuming Seher's remains to validate their theory that the true target was Bulent all along. Hasan is horrified by this revelation, realizing that Mert would sever ties with him if he gave his consent. Haluk emphasizes that uncovering the truth cannot bring Seher back. Complicating matters further, the ministry intends to expand the department and honor Onem with a plaque. Though it feels inopportune, she cannot decline.
Haunted by thoughts of his daughter, Hasan visits his wife, Nihan, who is thrilled about his renewed attempt to reconnect with Mert. However, her joy is short-lived as he reveals that Bulent is not the killer. Despite his heavy heart, Hasan gives the green light to exhume Seher's remains, driven by his unwavering determination to bring her murderer to justice. Nihan, though upset, understands his rationale. Mert, however, refuses to accept this, accusing Hasan of deceiving him and proclaiming that Hasan is no longer his father.
However, Feriha's discovery of the bullet shard embedded in Seher marks a crucial turning point, confirming their course of action was justified. Now, the mystery deepens: who harbored such malice towards Bulent, and what were their motives? Bulent had been cleared of Bahar's murder by Seher's superior on the fateful day she perished. Suspicion falls upon Bahar's parents, Nasit and Gulay, as well as her volatile ex-lover, Ecrument, a boxer with a troubled past and mental instabilities.
Serdar seeks out Ecrument, issuing a challenge for a boxing match. The stipulation? If Serdar prevails, Ecrument must confide in him. Serdar emerges victorious in the initial round but succumbs in the second, yet an unexpected camaraderie blossoms between them. In a moment of vulnerability, Ecrument admits his fleeting intention to eliminate Bulent. Yet, fueled by excessive alcohol, he ended up hospitalized instead. Compounded by Bahar's breakup with him a week prior, which he believes was spurred by her affair with an older man named Sebastian Green, who cruised around in a vintage car, Ecrument's world was crumbling. Serdar offers solace, and Ecrument realizes the cop deliberately lost the match to gain his trust.
Hasan and Onem confront Nasit, presenting their theory that Seher's murderer had Bulent as their primary target, with Seher merely a tragic bystander. They propose Gulay as a plausible suspect, but Nasit fiercely disputes this, insisting that Gulay took her own life due to the injustice meted out to Bahar. That fateful night, Seher had called to reveal Bulent's innocence in Bahar's death. Gulay, skeptical of her daughter's claims, advised Nasit to ignore her calls. Thus, the plot thickens, entangling emotions, secrets, and lives in a complex web of intrigue and betrayal.
Mert and Sude continue to find solace in each other's company, united by their shared experience of being dumped by their former lovers. Hasan's persistent calls interrupt their bonding moments, but Sude's efforts to convince Mert to answer fall on deaf ears. Meanwhile, the police have embarked on a fresh investigation into Bahar's murder, focusing on a bat found at the scene with Bulent's fingerprints on it. Thanks to Seher's boss, who took up Bulent's case and secured his release due to insufficient evidence, Bulent is currently free.
A flashback reveals Doruk, Seher's boss, informing her that the evidence in Bulent's favor is insufficient. Intrigued by this revelation, Hasan requests Bulent's case file. Doruk hesitates but ultimately agrees, swayed by the influence of his partner and wife, Zeynep.
The investigation uncovers crucial details: the soil where Bahar's body was discovered doesn't match the soil found in her mouth, hinting that someone moved her body after her death. As Hasan delves deeper into the files, he discovers Seher's diary, which contains her correspondence with Sebastian Green. Additionally, he finds an Instagram video where Bulent accidentally cuts his finger shortly before Bahar's death. However, the fingerprints on the murder weapon don't show any signs of the cut, and Bulent's phone records indicate he was far from the crime scene at the time of Bahar's murder.
The police reach the same conclusion: Bulent was framed for Bahar's death. As Hasan reads through Seher's diary, he's overwhelmed by happy memories, prompting Berk to suggest that nostalgia is the culprit. However, as the seventh episode of Graveyard Season 2 draws to a close, Hasan uncovers a startling revelation that could change everything.
