Episode 5 of "Thank You, Next" unfolds in the present timeline, where Cem watches Leyla slumber peacefully from across the room, a subtle hint revealing that their night together remained platonic. As dawn breaks, he perches on the bed's edge, tenderly brushing her hair away from her face, a gesture that seamlessly transitions us back in time.
Elsewhere, Sarp and Beliz are immersed in the jubilant celebration of their engagement, while Seyyaz, amidst applause, broaches the topic of marriage with Leyla. Unperturbed, she slips away to the dock, catching a glimpse of Cem standing there, contemplating a swift escape. Engrossed in a call with Defne, Cem hangs up just in time to fulfill his promise of a dance, their bodies swaying in harmony at the dock's precipice.
As they twirl, Cem confides in Leyla that though Defne has parted ways with her husband, she herself remains unattached to him. He asserts his own singleton status, unaware that Leyla is about to be caught in a storm of her own making. News reaches her that Tuba has learned of the party, sparking a tempest of dissatisfaction.
Returning home, Omer entrusts Buddy back to Leyla, only to be inundated with messages from his now-ex-partner, leaving Leyla even more perplexed. Heading to work, she's stunned to discover Cem will be joining her firm, destined to interweave more intersections.
Meanwhile, Sarp's world shatters upon learning Beliz's pregnancy, a harsh reminder of the importance of precautions. They attempt to celebrate at Seyyaz's restaurant, where later, Sarp confesses his longing for Beliz, still entangled in his web of romantic entanglements. She, unmoved, flees his advances. Amidst this web of love triangles, Omer reappears, messaging Leyla once more.
On a mission the following morning, Leyla represents Cem's company at a winery auction, with the stakes impossibly high. Her rival? Nil's firm, Habanero Winery. Tensions escalate, and as Leyla slanders Cem over the phone, little does she realize he's standing right behind her. He reveals his deepening feelings for her, defiantly asserting his fidelity in past relationships.
This incident takes a turn in Leyla's favor as she finds herself enticed to accompany him on his luxurious private jet. Together, they sip on exquisite wines, their flavors mingling with the anticipation of the evening ahead. Their destination? The glittering opening party of the hotel, where all three men are eagerly awaiting her presence. Leyla remains aloof towards Seyyaz, addressing him with a formal chill that speaks volumes. Omer, on the other hand, still harbors an undeniable desire for her.
But the true scene-stealer of the night arrives in the form of Tuba, who dramatically interrupts Cem's grand speech. With Nil by her side, she gatecrashes the event, stealing the spotlight with an audacious entrance. After the festivities conclude, Leyla finds herself in a secluded conversation with Cem near the horses, where he boldly suggests a future together. Leyla hesitates, torn between her emotions. Their lips meet in a tender kiss, but she pulls away abruptly, walking off into the night… unaware that Omer has been a silent observer from afar, his eyes following her every move.
Returning to the present moment, Leyla opens the door, clad in a gown that starkly contrasts her wedding attire. Outside, a commotion erupts as a car arrives, signaling the start of yet another dramatic twist in her unfolding story.
