Episode 3 of "Thank You, Next" kicks off with Leyla confronting Cem, her voice laced with accusations as she declares that he's ruined everything. Her eyes dart around anxiously, searching for her missing wedding ring, which she eventually discovers tucked under the table. With a scowl, she snatches it up and storms off.
Flashing back to earlier events, Omer confronts Leyla, who waits anxiously outside. He brings up the drone incident, which she views as an attempted murder plot, threatening that he could have faced arrest. Omer, however, brushes it off with indifference, prompting Leyla to warn him to stop stalking her. The conversation descends into a petty squabble over Buddy's ownership, culminating in Leyla storming home to erase every trace of Omer from her life. She deletes his profiles, tosses aside the necklace he once gifted her, and rids herself of anything that reminds her of him.
Yet, Omer's filing for custody of Buddy complicates matters further. Leyla's uncle warns her that the custody battle hinges precariously on the outcome of their divorce case, emphasizing the gravity of the situation. Leyla knows she must stay focused, aware that Omer is determined and that a slip-up could lead to everything crashing down around her.
Determined to press ahead with the divorce, Leyla visits Tuba. To her astonishment, she discovers that Tuba has attempted to sabotage business relations with the hotel through arson. Despite the severity of the crime, Tuba dismisses it nonchalantly when Leyla confronts her at the gallery, insisting that Cem is merely bluffing.
That night, Leyla drowns her sorrows in alcohol once more, hosting a lively party with friends from both her personal and professional life. As the evening progresses, she finds herself torn between conflicting emotions. Her turmoil leads to a dream about Cem in the shower, which wakes her abruptly in the middle of the night to a call from Tuba. Over the phone, Tuba vents about Cem's behavior and reveals that Dephne is expecting his child, adding to Leyla's turmoil.
In the early morning hours, Sarp and Leyla gear up for their pivotal case, but Sarp's resolve wavers upon discovering that Beliz is involved. His inability to suppress his smile around her creates an uneasy atmosphere. Determined to move past their recent awkward online encounter, Sarp initiates a fresh start. With the settlement inked and sealed, they harbor hopes that the road ahead will be smooth—though the unpredictable nature of Tuba leaves room for doubt.
Later in the afternoon, Leyla arrives at the vet's clinic with Buddy, striving to compose herself despite Buddy's familiarity with the surroundings. Ironically, the veterinarian turns out to be the woman with whom Omer had betrayed her. Angered and hurt, Leyla storms out of the clinic. At home, Buddy offers her comforting companionship, revealing a fragile side of Leyla as she lets her tears flow freely. She whispers to Buddy, pleading with him not to abandon her like everyone else has.
That night, Omer leaves a message for Leyla, asserting that their relationship had been on the rocks long before his infidelity—though he bizarrely claims that he never actually cheated on her. He visits later, taking Buddy with him, leaving Leyla to immerse herself in her work as a coping mechanism.
The divorce case seemingly wraps up neatly, yet Beliz lets slip that Cem and Defne are indeed having an affair, confirming that part of the gossip. Leyla calls Tuba, urging her not to return the money, but Tuba ignores her plea. Instead, she enacts her own plan, repaying the money in an unconventional manner—dumping trucks filled with pennies at the construction site. Cem can only respond with a bewildered smile.
As the episode draws to a close, the narrative shifts back to the present. Although we don't witness Sarp's video message, we observe Leyla's reaction: she sighs in frustration and tells him to go. As he complies, Cem's phone rings, setting the stage for further developments.
