🔥🚨DEVELOPING: Katy Williams revealed to Shannon Sharpe that Harvey Weinstein ‘offered to suck his penis’ in front of all of his people at his agency. Katt continued and said that he thought he was the only Black person on the script but found out it was 3 other Black people there. Shannon Sharpe asked him if it made him ‘wonder what they did to get there’ Katt responded that ‘I told him no what Yall do?’ Last month I spoke with Alex Jones about how I learned when I was in Hip-Hop that celebrities are an extension of media used to give social proof of any lie that politicians, and corporations want us to believe. I also revealed that PR companies control all of this behind the scenes and Katt Williams was most likely got this film opportunity from a PR. Weinstein was also an associate of Jeffrey Epstein, before his conviction on November 8, 2023, Michelle Obama called Harvey Weinstein a ‘wonderful human being a good friend and a powerhouse.’ at The Careers in Film Symposium hosted in the East Room of the White House. Weinstein had been a longtime donor to Democratic candidates and even held a fundraiser for Clinton during her 2016 presidential run. On February 25, 2020, a reporter asked Hillary Clinton asked about Weinstein's contributions to her campaign for president, at the Berlin International Film Festival for the screaming of her documentary ‘Hillary.’ Clinton responded, "He contributed to Barack Obama's campaign, and John Kerry's campaign, and Al Gore's campaign, and everybody's campaign."

#WATCH | Hajipur, Bihar | Aman Kumar, whose story has been going viral online for filing a complaint against his wife for abandoning his family, says, "I got married in 2013 to Gunjan Kumari. The marriage was arranged by her maternal uncle... She had passed the intermediate level at the time of marriage. Because of good marks, she said that she wanted to study further. So I helped her continue her education. My father also supported her in this... I helped her completely to get her education after the intermediate level, just as she said... I worked hard day and night to provide whatever I could. I even sold a piece of land when it was necessary... A case has been going on in court for a year... After investigating here and there, I found out that she was staying with a man. On May 23, at 4.30 pm, I got to know that the man's car had been spotted. I went there, took a video of the car, and then opened the gate. I found her in the condition a husband and wife share. Then I closed the gate all of a sudden. When the landlord came, he snatched my mobile phone. I had already dialled 112. He even threatened to kill me... He threw out the man, too. I stood at the corner of the road that leads from that house. When the man came to the corner with his car, I stopped him and asked what he was doing there. The man started getting violent. After that, my wife came from behind with slippers... We got married in November 2013, and she got a job in 2024... That man's name is Prem Prakash Jaiswal. He is her school friend... Earlier, I wanted my family back... But after seeing the incident on May 23, I request the Court to relieve me of her. It would be difficult for me to spend another day with her. We just have one child. We did not conceive another child because of her studies. My child is 10 years old..." (29.05)

From the evidence, below is what happened to John O'Keefe, IMV: *Karen Read had fought with John all day via texts about their relationship (texts) *John finally agreed to get together (texts) *Read joins John late (video) *Read and John are both outwardly getting along (video/testimony) *Read and John are drinking excessively (video, admissions, BAC computation) *Read and John are invited to Brian Albert's house (Friend of John, although not a close friend) to have a drink and celebrate Brian's son's birthday. *A small group (less than 12) of friends and family gather at Brian's house in celebration of his son's birthday. *John and Karen drive there but on the way, they get turned around (perhaps because they are both drunk) and Jen McCabe (Brian's sister-in-law) helps give directions to John and Karen but mentions the name of one of John's past girlfriend's whose house is near, as a landmark. (Cell data/testimony) *Read loses it and they start fighting. Read is jealous and doesn't want him around other women (texts and testimony) *John exits Read's car, grabs her glass and has his glass (evidence of glass at scene/ Read's statements/Testimony) *Read is jealous and boiling angry that John doesn't want to be with her and would rather go to a party with people he doesn't know well (Read's statements) *She throws her SUV in reverse meaning to hit him but not kill him. In her drunk state, her judgement is a hot mess. She wants to hurt him because she is angry and hurt. (Vehicle/Phone data/Read's statements) *She knows she hit him, but thinks he will get up. He is tough, after all. He is big and strong. She only "clipped" him. "HE DIDN'T LOOK MORTALLY WOUNDED." Read drives away. (Read's statements/vehicle data/cell data) *Read later returns to see if he ever got up. Read is starting to worry because John is not home. She drives by and sees he is still there. (Waiting on this car data) She calls Kerry Roberts at 5 AM sharp screaming John is dead. (Testimony backed by phone logs) *Read also calls Jen McCabe frantic talking about her broken tail light and hitting him (testimony, Read's statements, physical evidence and video of tail light, cell data) *They drive by the house where John lay dead in a driving blizzard and somehow Read sees him and jumps out, pulls his shirt up and lays on him. She doesn't call 911. (Testimony, call evidence) *Read then has a breakdown, terrified that she killed John and realizing she is culpable for taking his life and that she is likely going to jail. (Testimony/Evidence from the hospital) *Read gets attorneys and the made-up coverup is born. Lies are spun, others are blamed, and a puppet blogger is incentivized to flood SM with the concocted story. (texts) So many lives have been ruined because of a selfish, jealous, and drunk girlfriend. I common refrain, but this time, the domestic violence offender had Money. #KarenRead #KarenReadTrial #KarenReadTrial2

🚨#BREAKING: Absolutely ASTONISHING bodycam footage just showed the moment Atlanta police tore open a locked, hot, windowless trailer... ...and rescued a 4-year-old and an 11-month-old baby who'd been KIDNAPPED and hidden inside. The woman who took them? She'd done it BEFORE. She kidnapped a 4-day-old baby in Alabama in 2021... and NEVER stood trial for it. Sorry, just slow down a second and read this next sentence slowly: She stole **BABIES**, got away with it... and did it AGAIN. This just happened in Atlanta, the way she did it will make your skin crawl. Her name is Lakesha Brown, she's 42. Police say she HUNTED this family. Investigators say Brown posed as a babysitter in a Facebook "pregnancy moms" group... and spent an ENTIRE YEAR building trust with a mother named Elica Redding. On Saturday, that mom went out to dinner and left her two little girls, 4-year-old Zola and 11-month-old Norah, with the woman she thought was a friend. Brown took them and vanished. An Amber Alert went out. The girls were considered in extreme danger. The FBI pinged her cellphone and traced her to an apartment complex in southwest Atlanta. Then a detective heard a baby crying, from inside a locked tow trailer with no windows. They grabbed bolt cutters, cut the lock, threw open the door... ...and found Brown hiding under a blanket with both little girls right beside her. Both girls are safe. Back with their mama. Thank God. This was not her first time. In 2021, police say Brown kidnapped a 4-day-old baby boy in Alabama, after posing as a family friend, snatching him while his mother slept. That baby was found safe. Brown was indicted... and never stood trial. She had an outstanding warrant this whole time. That baby's mother heard about Atlanta and said it plainly: "This was 100% avoidable." She was RIGHT. A serial baby-snatcher was walking free with an open warrant... and she used that freedom to hunt another family. How many babies have to be stolen before the system stops letting her walk?!!!!! GOD BLESS the officers who cut that lock and pulled those girls out. Now LOCK. HER. UP. For good this time. WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!

In a chilling act that has shaken public conscience, a 19-year-old college student was brutally murdered in broad daylight in Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi district on Monday morning, raising serious concerns over public safety. The victim, identified as Siya Guleria (19), daughter of Joginder Kumar and a resident of village Nain under Gopalpur in Sarkaghat subdivision, was on her way to attend classes at Degree College Sarkaghat when she was attacked and killed. According to police and initial investigation reports, the incident occurred around 9:30 am when Siya had left her home and was heading towards Gopalpur bus stop, where a friend was waiting for her. At a distance of nearly one kilometre from her house, she was intercepted by a hooded man who had concealed his identity. The attacker, armed with a sharp-edged agricultural weapon (sickle), first struck her on the arm, causing her to fall. He then inflicted a fatal blow to her neck, k*illing her on the spot before fleeing the scene. The brutality of the attack, carried out in daylight, has left the entire region in shock and fear. The accused has been identified as Rishu Patial (32), son of Kamlu, a resident of village Thiro under Gopalpur in Sarkaghat tehsil. His ancestral roots are reported to be near Dodra Rakhoh, and he had been living at his maternal home in Thiro for several years. Preliminary inputs also indicate that the accused was allegedly addicted to substance abuse. Following the incident, local residents alerted the police, after which teams rushed to the spot and took the body into custody. Senior officers, including the SP and ASP, immediately reached Sarkaghat to oversee the investigation. In a swift and coordinated operation, the police, with active support from local residents, launched a manhunt and tracked the accused to the forests of Fatehpur near Sarkaghat. He was apprehended within hours of the crime. Sources indicate that villagers, who were part of the search efforts, confronted and overpowered the suspect, and he was reportedly beaten before being handed over to the police. DSP Sanjeev Sood confirmed the arrest, stating that the accused was captured due to prompt police action and effective coordination on the ground. The shocking incident has triggered widespread outrage and grief across the region, with residents questioning the sense of security, particularly for young women. Police are currently interrogating the accused to ascertain the motive behind the crime and to determine whether there was any prior connection between him and the victim. Further legal proceedings are underway.

An Anthropic intern watched me make $38 in three minutes at Equator Coffee I was on Market Street. Laptop open. BTC 5-minute markets cycling on screen. A green fill popped. She was behind me in line. Anthropic badge on her lanyard. "Wait. Is that Claude running trades" I told her. Claude Code. Four repos. $25 a month. She sat down across from me without asking. "I'm on the evals team. We benchmark Claude's reasoning on stuff way simpler than this. You're letting it run a full execution loop with real money" I showed her the first repo. 86 million trades. Claude finds which wallets consistently win. Reverse-engineers their timing. Copies their exits. "So you're not writing trading rules. Claude is finding them on its own from the data" Exactly. It watches Binance and Coinbase diverge from Chainlink. When both exchanges move $50+ the same way and Chainlink lags - it enters. 94% follow-through. Another trade closed on screen. +$41. "How often does it trade" About 55 times a day. Out of 400+ windows. Kills 85%. Only enters when order book imbalance confirms the price signal. Three commands. 500+ markets. Claude scores them in 20 minutes. She watched the screen for a while. My setup: Claude API - $20/mo VPS - $5/mo Everything else - free 30 days. 1,847 trades. 71% win rate. +$14,200. Copytrade here: She leaned back. "We spend all day testing what Claude can do in theory. You just showed me what it does in practice" I published the full breakdown that night. She DM'd me the next morning. "My team lead read your article. He wants to know if you'll consult for us" I told him to read it again. Everything's in there. Too late to gatekeep.

We are exposing a side of Erika Kirk that she desperately tried to scrub from the internet: an hour-long deleted video from 2021 that reveals the "grieving widow" is actually a cold, calculated operative. 🎭 THE "UPGRADE" & THE ACTRESS Erika has spent years playing the humble, submissive wife. But this footage from the Good Things Women’s Convention tells a different story. The Social Climb: Right out of the gate, Erika jokes about "upgrading" her name to Kirk. Not a biblical union—a career move. The Transactional Mindset: On a hot mic, Erika fully leans into her transactional nature, describing her philosophy on relationships as: "Hey, nice to meet you, but what can you do for me?" The "Silver Screen" Slip-up: She’s always claimed she never wanted fame, but on this hot mic, she admits her LA relationships were about one thing: getting on the silver screen. Marrying Charlie wasn't a romance; it was the ultimate acting gig to secure her social status.

If the "neck" moves the "head," did she move him right into that trap at UVU? We know it wasn't Tyler Robinson. We know the "stairwell man" has the wrong earlobes.

My good friend, Stacy Langton, (Stacy Langton), who is featured in Dinesh D'Souza's film "Police State", is being sued by failed "Republican" Fairfax County School Board candidate, Harry Jackson, who created a fake X account with Stacy's high-school yearbook photo and a bio stating she's an "Only Fans" porn star. He stupidly posted screenshots of an unrelated topic on FB that showed he was logged in as the fake account. Stacy sued him for defamation, but due to the mounting legal fees, had no choice but to drop the lawsuit. In response, this loser, who had previously been arrested 3x for domestic abuse, has now counter-sued her for $3M. Stacy is a stay-at-home mother of 6 children, wife of a Navy officer, and was a major catalyst in Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin's come-from-behind win against McAuliffe in 2021. She contacted his campaign just days before their final debate to let him know that when McAuliffe was VA Governor, he vetoed a bill that would've made it a requirement to notify parents of any sexually-explicit books in schools. When Youngkin brought it up at the debate, McAuliffe infamously responded, "I don't think parents should be telling schools what they should teach", and instantaneously ended his chances of winning, in spite of being ahead in the polls. The next day, the Youngkin campaign produced the ad below, which features a brief clip from Stacy's appearance at a Fairfax County School Board meeting, where she read graphic passages from two of the books she found in her children's school library. The school board ironically tried to silence her because there were "children present" at the meeting. We are often told to get engaged locally and Stacy did just that. Her reward is dirty tricks, defamation, and lawfare by this scumbag "Republican", who was endorsed by establishment "Republicans". This clown who is allegedly an FBI contractor even likes to brag about how he uses his intel connections to dig up dirt on his opponents. He is now trying to financially ruin Stacy's family. I know times are tough right now, but if there's any way you can help Stacy and her family fight this lawsuit with a small donation and/or your prayers, I know she would be extremely grateful. If the Uniparty can do this to her, they most certainly can do it to you. She fought for her children and for your children. She doesn't deserve what this loser is putting her through. Here's the link to her GiveSendGo campaign, where you can read more about what she's been dealing with (including plenty of "sauce" to back everything up): If you can help by sharing this post, I would greatly appreciate it. I am praying this will get out to as many people as possible, so that she can hopefully raise enough money to pay her legal fees and hopefully defeat him in court.

Analyzing Episode 56. Season 2 aka Processing the Past Despite all the prophecies of doom, episode 56 was a delightful watch. The episode begins with Alya walking into prison, only to discover Meryem holding hands with Ciho. And, the way that entire scene is depicted, it's designed to make the audience see things from Alya's pov. Because we know not a few moments earlier, Cihan tells Meryem she should leave Mardin because there's nothing left for her there. However, from Alya's viewpoint, it seems like the past is repeating itself in the way she finds out about Mine and even Boran. Though this time, there's a slight difference because instead of following Cihan and discovering the truth herself, it's Boran who frames reality in the worst possible way. Still, Cihan and Alya's reactions differ slightly at this instance. For example, Alya's anger, while boiling at that moment, diffuses much quicker. And, while she doubts the reason Cihan keeps Meryem's presence from her, she doesn't start doubting their love. That fortress remains strong. Likewise, any time Cihan is discovered by Alya lying to her, he displays this vibe of embarrassment. You know, like wearing the expression of a kid caught doing something he shouldn't have been doing. But this time, when he rushes after Alya, there's a certain assurance in his gait. It's not overt, mind you, because Cihan knows he's in hot water. But it's almost like this time, he's sure of himself because his feelings in the matter are clear. He hides the truth for two reasons: he's protecting himself and Alya. The former because he doesn't want Alya pulling back from him at a time when she's already forced to leave the konak, and the latter because he doesn't want the spectre of Meryem to hurt her in any way. But the part I really liked in this while sequence? Alya's car breaking down. There are always moments in CihAl's story where you see some external force intervening to move their story forward. For example, the way the roads are blocked in ep42. In this episode, fate intervenes yet again, and the message is clear. Don't run from the past; face it. That message is compounded when Boran shows up on the same road to see the fruits of his labor. In the last few episodes, Alya's reactions to Boran seem to have intensified. I don't know why that is, but it seems like Alya's anger seems to be taking over her despair. To the point where Cihan becomes the one to hold Alya back, which, in my opinion, is a good thing. Anger can be cleansing, unlike passivity. And it seems the days of Alya quietly listening to Boran's BS are finally ending. Anyway, the scene moves on to Cihan driving Alya to a remote location to talk things over, which I kind of liked. I prefer when these two go far away from the maddening crowd to iron out their differences. And note, whenever that happens, they happen to be in a location that has a bird's-eye view of the scene below. Kind of like how you try to take in the bigger picture - another nice subliminal message. Cihan kicks off the conversation by saying Boran is trying to cloud Alya's mind, to which Alya responds adequately by saying the only thing messing with her mind is Cihan's attempts to lie because Boran no longer holds any importance for her. Is that true? I think so. Because even though Alya and Cihan are talking about a highly volatile topic, they're relatively calm. Accusations don't fly about either. And, I liked the fact that Alya openly tells Cihan that his trying to keep her in the dark, even to protect her, is what ends up hurting her the most. Because that is the truth. Cihan's reasoning as to why he keeps Meryem's presence from her in this scene is incomplete. He does want to protect Alya from the pain his past includes, but that's only half the reason. The bigger reason is he's trying to do his damnedest to keep Alya with him. He's already failed to try to keep her with him at the konak, but an emotional distance would likely finish him off. Which is why the talk CihAl have at Alya's apartment is so important. When Meryem calls, Cihan stops Alya from leaving the room - which sets the tone of the conversation. When Cihan relates the story of what Meryem has gone through, Alya's reaction is just what's to be expected. She's empathetic towards her plight, of being forced, of facing violence, because while Alya's lucky enough to find love with Cihan, she understands only too well how women are made to feel helpless and powerless. There's this expression on Cihan's face that can only be described as astonishment. Because, despite Alya's past, what she's gone through in Mardin, and despite Cihan's own stupidities, she finds it in her heart to feel for another woman she wouldn't be wrong to feel threatened by. And that's one of the things he is so in love with about Alya. Her compassion. When Cihan says he feels responsible for all that's gone wrong in Meryem's life since that fateful day, Alya asks him why he felt the need to hide things yet again. But this time, the whole truth comes out. Cihan admits he was afraid of her pulling back from him even more. Another thing to note, Alya refers to Meryem as Cihan's first love, not only love. So, she's not doubtful of his feelings for her. What's scary to Alya is how much of a hold those old feelings still have over Cihan. The good news from that point on is that Cihan doesn't keep anything from Alya regarding Meryem again. That includes him trying to send her to Istanbul to set up a new life for her. The scene ends on a relatively happier note of disaster averted. And Cihan and Alya both look better after talking it out. Still, as the viewers, we know that Alya's fear hasn't been defeated, just delayed. And until Cihan gives Alya the kind of resolution she gives him with Boran, it will keep pushing her away from him, like a self-fulfilling prophecy. Now, the next scene I want to talk about is the scene where Cihan and Kaya talk at the tavern/bar. I loved that entire sequence because we keep transitioning between Cihan's focus on Alya (his future) and Alya's focus on Cihan's past. When Kaya asks Cihan how he could fall for Alya after claiming to love Meryem, when Kaya and Sahin kept waiting/fighting for their respective loves, Cihan's answer reveals one of the reasons his past has sprung up on him, because he still doesn't get it. He says he loved Meryem, was tested by that love, gained experience from it, which prepared him to fight tooth and nail for Alya. He's partially right. Yes, the past and its challenges prepared him and chiseled his determination to fight for Alya. But, he's confused about loving someone and being in love with someone. He is so in love with Alya, he's overcome when he's trying to explain the emotion. True love, the deep, enduring, transformational kind, doesn't ever fade. Almost like it's a state of permanent being, because it survives time, distance, and yes, even death. If what you think love is weakens, is downgraded, moves from the heart to merely the realm of responsibility, it's not the 'love' that mankind has written sonnets about, that people dream about, that lovers die for. Because true love doesn't change, doesn't disappear, or relocate itself into something smaller. If it does, it was never that to begin with. Yes, people can love multiple times. But that feeling of being in love, that one love that trumps everything else, is another kettle of fish entirely. And, according to Cihan's own words, his love for Alya is the kind of thing he's never experienced before. Its weighty and rooted so deeply inside him, it's impossible to escape or forget. So, yes, Ciho is partially right to say that what he experienced with Meryem helped ready the man who'd love and fight for Alya like never before, but he's wrong to think that those feelings can be categorized under the heading 'love.' Since Cihan and Alya's story deals with balance, equality, and symmetry, it's unlikely that Alya's past would reveal she never loved Boran, whereas Cihan's past would be something like oh she prepared me for the future. In fact, I suspect it's a little of both for Cihan and Alya. As in, both Boran and Meryem paved the way to their actual true love, and yes, neither of them truly loved their exes. Not to mention, Boran has exposed himself completely, and Meryem's giving off bad vibes already. Alya understood that early on because of what Boran does to her. Cihan is about to learn. Which is why stories ever truly drag the past into the present anyway, because there's a truth, a lesson, a resolution hidden within, after which, the past can finally be buried and be left behind. So, to me, the vibe of ep56 is - processing the past. Looking at it, dealing with it, but most of all, facing it head-on. Essentially, we're seeing Alya and Cihan inch towards clarity now that both pasts are back in their lives at the same time. There’s still a final understanding waiting to click into place, for CihAl, about what love truly is and what it never was. And once that realization lands, the past won’t just be faced… it will lose its hold altogether. #CihAl #UzakŞehir

MAX DESERVED BETTER. THREE TIMES. And somehow… he still loves with his whole entire heart. Max is a purebred German Rottweiler who was purchased from a breeder by a young girl. When she left for college, she dumped him at the high-kill NYCACC shelter. He was sentenced to death. We stepped in. We saved him. We promised him forever. He was adopted. We thought he finally had his happy ending. But then he was dumped AGAIN—this time at a high-kill shelter in Pennsylvania. We fought HARD to get Max back. We used every favor we had. We had insiders helping us. We turned over every stone because Layla’s Heart Ranch & Rescue NEVER leaves a dog behind. When we commit to a dog, we commit. We have NEVER euthanized a dog for behavior. We have NEVER sent a dog back to a shelter. We will ALWAYS take a dog back—even ten years down the road. We NEVER abandon our adopters. We NEVER abandon our fosters. That is who we are. That is what “last chance” actually means. But Max’s story didn’t stop there. The original owner—the girl who dumped him at the shelter—ended up picking him up because she was still on the microchip. She then berated US, accusing US of almost getting her dog killed. Ma’am… you abandoned him at a kill shelter. WE saved him. She blocked us everywhere. We had no way to follow up. But then a message came in… a little birdy letting us know the truth: She moved out of her apartment and LEFT Max there. She called the police to pick him up. And he ended up back on the kill list at NYCACC. They never notified us. But an insider did. And this time? We got him back. For GOOD. For the last time. Forever. Max is SAFE now. He is LOVED. He is HOME. And he will never again have to wonder if he is wanted. This is why we do what we do. This is why we can’t ever stop. And this is why your support matters—because dogs like Max need warriors behind them. If you would like to help us continue saving the forgotten, the betrayed, the left-behind… your donation truly makes that possible. P.s Max LOVES his blue ball and could use a new one for the holidays Donate: Thank you for standing with Max. Thank you for standing with us. He deserved better—and now he finally has it. #max #rotteweiler #maxncheese #nokill #endanimalabuse #laylasheartranchandrescue #lastchancerescue #secondchancerescue #dogrescue #animalsanctuary #animalwelfare #beingkindiscool #charity #donate #nonprofit #germanrotteweiler #texas

Deputies conduct welfare check on 68 year old women. Upon arrival they find an unknown house guest and true crime story ready to unfold in real time. ​ 68 year old Monique Gilbertson met Daniel Roush (who also used the name Jazlynn) at a local Home Depot in East Las Vegas. Roush was experiencing homelessness at the time, and Gilbertson, known by her neighbors as a kind and deeply trusting woman, offered to rent him a room in her mobile home. In exchange, Roush was supposed to help with housework and pay a small amount of rent. ​The living arrangement quickly deteriorated. Gilbertson grew increasingly upset when her personal belongings began to go missing, leading her to terminate the living arrangement. Grand jury transcripts later revealed messages from Gilbertson telling Roush that she had left his belongings on the front porch and that he was no longer welcome. Investigators believe she officially evicted him around October 22nd the last time she was seen alive. ​After nearly two weeks of zero contact from Gilbertson, the mobile home park’s leasing office grew concerned and requested a police welfare check. When Las Vegas Metropolitan Police officers arrived, they were met by Roush and his wife, Gina Lopez, who had taken over the residence. ​ As Rosha was questioned at the door you could see his panic as he quickly began heavily stalling and deflecting. Standing behind a locked security screen door, he claimed his name was "Jaslin," that he was house-sitting, and that Gilbertson had suddenly left town to visit an ill family member on the East Coast. ​Suspicious of Roush's defensive behavior, his conflicting stories, and the fact that Gilbertson's car was still parked outside, officers demanded to enter for a walkthrough. Inside, the home was in complete disarray. ​Officers eventually located a locked chest freezer in the utility area. After getting a lock Smith out, they opened it and tragically discovered what was hidden inside. Immediately Rouch was placed in cuffs. ​Following his arrest, Roush claimed to homicide detectives that he found Gilbertson deceased, panicked, and hid her remains because he was terrified of losing his housing. ​However, state prosecutors painted a much darker picture of a crime committed for profit. Authorities alleged that Roush deliberately administered a massive, lethal amount of fentanyl to the victim specifically to take over her property and her lease. Police also recovered a large cache of methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, and fentanyl from the scene. ​A Clark County grand jury indicted Daniel Roush on multiple felony charges, including: ​Open Murder ​Abuse of an Older/Vulnerable Person ​Burglary ​Multiple Drug Possession and Trafficking Charges ​His wife, Gina Lopez, was also named as a co-defendant in the broader criminal case. Roush remains held without bail at the Clark County Detention Center, facing a maximum penalty of life in prison without the possibility of parole. The case is still ongoing though the justice system so we will need to revisit this once completed.

A teeny tiny notice before I proceed with my analysis. If you have a problem with either Cihan or Alya, don't bother reading. Because I don't take sides. I don't watch or think or write through the lens of Alya vs Cihan. Both characters are dear to me. And, if that's the way you roll, by all means, proceed. Analyzing Episode 36. Season 2 aka Of Strengths, Weaknesses, and The Last Nail in the Coffin Evvveeettt. Another episode, another meltdown. Just another day in the CihAl fandom. Ngl, it took me two days to even think about writing my regular analysis post, because the negativity was more potent than usual. Or maybe my resistance is waning, who knows? But that's not what we're gonna focus on today. This day, we analyze the words and actions of the heart and soul of Uzak Sehir, aka Alya and Cihan Albora. But we'll do so within the framework of strengths and weaknesses, because to me, that's what really comes to the fore in ep36. Alya Albora Alya Albora was especially heartbreaking this episode. And coming from someone who gets their heartbroken regularly because of Alya, that's saying something. The episode starts with the zombie-man opening his eyes (I think this PoS is just lying there pretending to be a vegetable, but that's for another time). And the look Alya has on her face when she looks at Cihan is indescribable. Almost as if everything inside her is pleading, 'Please don't regress back to where we just came from.' Because she fears, even as she tries to check on the zombie, that the closer Frankenboran gets to waking up, the further Cihan will drift from her. And, to an extent, her fears are proven right when Sadakat brings up divorce again. See, Alya doesn't come from strong family roots. She believes her biological mother abandoned her for most of her adult life. Then she has Caroline, who tries to fill all the empty spaces abandonment leaves in little Alya, but doesn't manage to succeed too much. As I've said before, Alya's primary fears stem from being abandoned and being a burden. That's what she tries to protect herself from. Those walls around her heart are in place to keep her from suffering that same pain again. That's both her strength and her weakness. While the fear pushes Alya to love harder, to push past difficulties, to rise from the ashes over and over, it also makes her more aloof. She doesn't find it as difficult as Cihan to leave behind 'family' ties because she's never experienced just how forceful those bonds can be. When it falls to her to choose between her love for Cihan and whatever she had with Boran, she picks the former without much guilt. But there's another factor that helps keep her from feeling much remorse for Boran, and that's the way her former husband treats her. Before Alya finds out about the will, her anger at Cihan is at an all-time high, and there's no question of any relationship developing between the two. After the will, however, that's a different story. So, when it falls to her to choose, she can do so easily, with her conscience at rest. And we see that so clearly in the way she announces she won't return to Boran even when he wakes up. Now, let's focus on the tricky bit. The weaknesses. Because Alya fears being a burden, being imposed on someone, adding to their strain, anything other than clarity can't help but raise doubts. When Cihan doesn't answer her question of 'Where will you stand?' with a clear with you or with you, distrust raises its ugly head. She starts asking herself if their relationship is what Cihan really wants now that Boran is back in the picture. She starts wondering whether Cihan will be able to shoulder the burden their relationship will add to his already weighed-down shoulders. It's harrowing to watch her be drawn to Cihan one instant, and pull back the next. Not because she doesn't love him, but because she can't bear to be another weight on Cihan's existence. That's what we see when she's shivering with fever. She wants him close, but she also doesn't want him to suffer. She keeps asking Cihan to leave, but he refuses to budge. And, that cures and hurts at the same time. For some reason, when she says, 'I'm also trying to find a way,' I couldn't help but feel that a part of her is already reverting back to the old Alya. The longer Cihan refrains from giving Alya a clear answer, the more her doubts grow. The more their 'impossibility' takes over her love. The closer she grows to wanting to leave. This time, if she attempts to leave, it won't be because her feelings overwhelm her. It'll be because she can't bear to see Cihan hurt anymore. Cihan Albora Oh boy. I can already hear the jeers of 'coward' and 'gavat' (which, by the way, I find to be a really ugly word) ringing in my ears. Well, fcuk that. Let's get back to our analysis. I talked about how Cihan seems to be stuck between suppression and surrender when it comes to his guilt. And, I did think that almost losing Alya would break that spell. But, clearly, that's not the road that Gulizar wants to take. Perhaps she does want it to come down to conflict. I'm not sure yet. What I am sure of is that Cihan is already aware of what he wants. And it's not wanting to be BFFs with Boran at the expense of Alya, guilt be damned. You can see it in the way his answers get bolder every time Sadakat asks him about a divorce. This episode is the first time Cihan states outright that the burden of 'conscience' isn't his to bear because he merely did what Boran asked of him. In other words, he didn't plan on falling in love with Alya, but it happened, and if there's any blame in that, it's not on him or Alya. Here's what irks most people. He doesn't ever talk about what he wants. It's always 'What if Boran wants this' or 'What if Boran wants that.' In other words, it's a form of misdirection on his part. He knows what's in his heart, but he doesn't want to say it out loud. Another scene where you can clearly see what his choice will be is when he's taking care of Alya during her fever. The more Alya insists that he leave, the more he digs in his heels. Until finally, he says, 'I won't allow anyone to hurt you, I won't allow anyone to harm you, and that's how it will be until I draw my last breath.' People don't say things like. 'That's how it'll be as long as I live,' if they're not sure about what they want. This is Cihan's strength. His love, protective instincts, and his code of sticking up for the people he loves. Unfortunately, like Alya, that's also his weakness. Cihan's been trained to fight for his family and his people to his very last. And, that's one HUGE reason why he can't verbalize what's already screaming inside his mind and his heart. We know he can't live without Alya, he says as much in the last episode. He keeps buying time because he knows once he states those words - there's no turning back. And he knows exactly how ugly things could go because dealing with ugly has been his entire existence. People won't be kind to him or Alya in the place where they live (think back to how Demir sends his goons to insult Alya's mom). And besides all that, what if Boran doesn't want to let go? That's when shit will truly hit the fan, because once Cihan says he's with Alya, he'll be fighting his brother, standing up to his mother, breaking his family apart, endangering Albora with internal strife, and worst of all, risking Alya and Deniz's safety. And remember, unlike Alya, who can control her conscience because of an extenuating factor, Cihan has no such relief. So, what you see is a man trying to survive an impending hurricane in a straw hut. He knows when that storm hits, and it will, things will go to hell. Besides all that, there is his stupid conscience that just won't shut the hell up because of that code of his. To me, that's not cowardice. That's a man standing at the edge of a life-changing truth, and being undone by the gravity of it. It's almost as if his soul is negotiating with reality, hoping to avoid collateral damage, while grieving for the version of himself he knows won't survive after he states his truth. As we can see in the scene where he and Alya are saying goodbye, they're already a family. His heart has already made the choice, so much so that in that scene, even Sadakat and Nare see the invisible bonds tying Cihan to Alya and vice versa. It's not a question of if, merely when. The Last Nail in the Coffin The question on everyone's mind is, what will it be? The last nail in the coffin of Cihan and Boran's brotherhood. The point of no return. To me, the way things are shaping up, there will be a clash. Will the showdown happen when Boran wakes up, or will Cihan learn the truth about his brother and finally be set free? I don't know. I've always had the inkling that Boran isn't what he claims to be. I guess we'll find out soon. But until then, I'll be watching. Gladly. For both my babies. Till next time, happy reading, y'all. #CihAl #UzakŞehir

She walks through sunny city streets toward a stylish café. Warm afternoon light fills the streets as she happily imagines meeting him for the first time. She orders an iced coffee and waits by the window. Every time the café door opens, she looks up with excitement, but each time it is someone else. Minutes pass and her smile slowly fades. Finally, she leaves the café feeling embarrassed and disappointed. As she steps outside, she accidentally bumps into a handsome young man carrying two iced coffees.

Analyzing Episode 39. Season 2 aka Of Closets, Skeletons, and Haunting Truths Eveeeetttt. I finally found some of my old energy to write because last night's episode was AWESOME. And, allow me, nay, give me the freedom to say 'I TOLD YOU SO!' because the zombie turned out to be just as big a sh!thead as I expected him to be. Okay, now that I've gotten that exultant vindication out of the way, let's get on with our analysis. We start the episode with FrankenBoran saying 'Alya' and promptly fainting again. When he comes to again, he remarkably remembers all his other family members, and proceeds to creep Alya out further by calling her beautiful. I mean, don't get me wrong, but if a loving husband woke up from a year-long coma and saw his wife, I'd expect him to say something like 'I missed you' or 'How have you been?' But this guy? He goes straight for the look at my hot trophy-doctor wife. Yech. Anyway, at the zombie's insistence of seeing Cihan Deniz, Alya informs his decrepit self of the accident and all that followed, minus the mountain of trauma she went through. Is anyone else surprised by how handy this man's memory is? Because what the heck do you mean he doesn't remember asking his brother to marry his widow? When Cihan is forced to inform the zombie of his marriage to Alya, he suddenly switches to victim mode and passes out again. Convenient. After that, the assorted Alboras all convene in the salon at Sadakat's insistence, where she tries and fails to guilt-trip Cihan and Alya into showing Deniz to the zombie. Then she fine-tunes her maternal emo blackmail skills to keep Cihan from telling Boran who his real father is. Spot the witch's hypocrisy here? The only thing that made that entire scene bearable was Nare and Kaya supporting Cihan and Alya. Thank goodness for Azem and Fiko anne's genes. Alya's scene with Deniz (who's still blissfully napping) was a cute reprieve. She's understandably struggling with how she's going to explain the mess the zombie has made of their lives to her son. And, like any decent mom, she wants to protect Deniz from all kinds of pain, but finds herself helpless. And the fact that Cihan walks in and says he wishes he could protect Alya from the ugliness of life because she's just as innocent as Deniz was special to me. Because the world we live in will always blame women first, regardless of whether they're guilty or not. I've read so many comments from random losers (yep, losers) blaming Alya and accusing her of 'loose morals' because she refuses to return to the PoS husband who all but foists her on his brother's shoulders to save his own worthless self. That little reminder by Cihan of Alya's innocence in all that's happening to them made me want to hug Gulizar. Because that scene was put in there for a reason. It's to remind the viewers to watch what's happening without the blinders of hate and judgment. Because sometimes the truth requires you to be a little more than just your hateful prejudices. The next scene that stood out to me was when Boran sees Deniz. Because there you can clearly see the difference between Cihan and Boran in their 'husband' or 'protector' roles. When Boran struts to Alya in his fake righteous indignation and asks her about which room is hers, you can see his harsh, condemnatory behavior in juxtaposition to Cihan's loving acceptance of all that Alya is. Even when Cihan doesn't know her, he intrinsically trusts her and refuses to believe his mother's accusations about her and Izzet. The fact that Boran expects Alya to have a separate room, even though he specifically asks Cihan to marry Alya, is just more proof that the zombie merely wanted the marriage to ensure Alya didn't move on in her life. It was never about love or protection. It was about control and possession. Among the many outstanding scenes of this episode were Cihan and Alya facing off against Boran. Because it was about damn time this freaking skeleton was dragged out of the closet and forced into the light of truth. Why do people expect Alya to go back to Boran? Why do they expect her to stay silent about loving Cihan? Because she's a woman? Because her worth is measured by what the world dictates is her honor? Fcuk that. And that's precisely what Alya's monologue is about. How is she the one to blame when her ex-husband was the one lying to her since day one? How is the shame hers when Boran felt none, asking his brother to marry his widow just so he could return and claim her like she's some baggage? Alya rightly informs the zombie that, in his attempt to play God, his decision made her Cihan's wife. And, no matter how much he apologizes, nothing will change the truth of her feelings. She loves Cihan now, and that's that. Now, let's focus on Cihan's talk with Boran. I feel so sad for Ciho, because the man he looked up to turned out to have feet of clay. And, Cihan's realization of that becomes obvious as their 'talk' continues. When Cihan admits he loves Alya, Boran immediately hits him with Meryem. The zombie has the audacity to say that if Cihan managed to get over Meryem, his love for Alya could be a passing thing too. Manipulative ass. Thankfully, Cihan has the perfect comeback. And, what's more, we as the audience know he's telling the truth, because we've seen him evolve. He says what he thought was the truth was actually a lie, and it was only something he realized when he came face-to-face with the real deal. Alya truly is the love of his life. A fact that only becomes clearer as he continues to talk. When Boran dares to ask whether Cihan has slept with Alya, you can see Cihan's heart break in the heavy breath he expels. It's almost as if he can't believe the words he's hearing. But despite that, he answers. And he answers truthfully. Why? Because he'd never allow what he feels for Alya to be marred by accusations of lust. Of falling under the spell of her beauty only. Cihan knows Alya is beautiful. And he's often mesmerized by her beauty. But he falls in love with who Alya is. As a mother. As a doctor. As his wife. He falls in love with all the aspects of her, good and bad. And his dialogue 'whether I touch her or not, my love for her will never change,' proves he's operating on a different plain than his scum of a brother. The fact that Alya is willing to risk being called 'characterless' or 'easy' with the trauma of her past, and that Cihan is willing to go against his entire code of 'family and duty' for each other, is the biggest proof of their love. It's not easy to break out of the mold our circumstances and life place us in. But what makes Alya and Cihan inherently attractive is that they're willing to risk it all for love, while still sticking to their principles and beliefs. I think I fell in love with CihAl as a couple all over again in this episode. These two characters are possibly the most conscientious protagonists I've seen in a dizi, and it's laughable when people pass judgment on them due to morals, lmao. Now, on to less palatable topics. The zombie and Albora's haunting truth. The last scene of the episode makes several silent revelations. One is that Boran was never happy being sidelined in favor of Cihan as the leader. Two is that Boran likely killed Sulaiman Baybars, not out of a vendetta, but possibly because he was trying to prove himself worthy of the mantle of leadership, and being exiled instead pissed him off. Three is that Boran will likely stoop to any level, including going over to Ecmel's side to snatch what he feels is rightfully his. And four is that allowing Boran to escape the consequences of his actions created a monster who thinks the world revolves around him. It's obvious by the look on Boran's face that he's going to pick bitterness and payback over introspection and accountability. And in doing so, Albora's haunting truth will be repeated - the biggest danger to the family isn't some external enemy, it's often one of your own, driven by festering envy and entitlement. Because history doesn't always repeat, but it does rhyme. And that's my two cents on this episode. Till next time, happy reading y'all. #CihAl #UzakŞehir

What's this? John O'Keefe and Karen Read re-trial witness Jen McCabe DID tell a grand jury that Karen said "I hit him! I hit him! I hit him!" at the scene where Karen is alleged to have struck John, while drunk-driving, and then left John to die in the snow? This is bad news heading into the end of Alan Jackson's cross on Friday (there is no court today). Jackson spent hours going in circles on Wednesday as to whether McCabe had told a grand jury about Karen's confession to "hitting John" and now the world gets an early preview of prosecutor Hank Brennan's re-direct via the video below (where Brennan will, no doubt, have McCabe confirm she told the Grand Jury those very words as to Karen's confession to hitting John). See video of McCabe testifying, on direct, that Karen said the words "I hit him! I hit him! I hit him!" on the scene of John's death, leaving jurors stunned - Although McCabe did not recall, when being asked by Jackson, if she gave such testimony to the grand jury, McCabe was able to recall that information on re-direct during testimony in the first Karen Read and John O'Keefe trial (which I have clipped and included below). Furthermore, Brennan has also announced in open court that, at the conclusion of McCabe's testimony, Brennan will be playing videos of Karen's own remarks for the jury, wherein Karen apparently talks about getting into an argument with John O'Keefe in the moments leading up to 12:32:16am ET on 1/29/22 (the moment Karen is alleged to have backed up her Lexus, with a BAC between 0.13 and 0.29, struck John and then left him to die in a blizzard on a lawn). See video of Brennan confirming in open court that those videos --where Karen talks about an argument with John during his last moments-- will be played for jurors, at the close of McCabe's testimony and after she is off the stand, here - Karen's argument with John, between 12:24am and 12:31am, was apparently about a woman John had dated years earlier ("Bella's mom"). McCabe has already testified, during Read's re-trial, that McCabe mentioned Bella's mom as a way to help Karen and John find their way to a house party in the moments before John was allegedly struck and killed by Karen's car. McCabe further testified that, for some reason, Karen started talking about Bella's mom, and John "cheating on Karen," in the moments before John's body was discovered by Karen, McCabe and Kerry Roberts after 6am on 1/29/22. See McCabe's testimony about Karen being upset about Bella's mom, from earlier this week in the Read re-trial, here - Karen, herself, had been cheating on John in the weeks leading up to this death, and John had expressed to Karen that the relationship had run it's course. Karen, for her part, felt John's adopted, double-orphaned, niece and nephew were putting a strain on the relationship. See text messages, from Karen herself, confirming she tried to cheat on John, in his own home, with John's friend (only for John's friend to shut the affair down when that friend realized Karen was trying to emotionally abuse John by way of that affair) here - That argument about Bella's mom (although not it's content) between Karen and John was also relayed, by Karen, to first responders when Karen was on the way to the hospital after 6am the next morning (Karen's parents had her sectioned due to threats of self-harm, and that is how Karen's blood was taken, thus confirming Karen was drunk at the time she allegedly backed into John and left him to die). See video of a firefighter/EMT confirming Karen made those statements about Karen's last words to John being an argument, in the moments leading up to 12:32:16am on 1/29/22, here - Jurors have already seen video of Karen confessing, to a documentary crew, to being too drunk to drive that morning (Karen's BAC was 2-4 times the legal limit of 0.08) and, shocking, a video of Karen mocking John's mother, Peggy, after Peggy told Karen, on the morning of 1/29/22, that John "looked like he got hit by a car." Watch video of Karen ruthlessly mocking Peggy O'Keefe here - Watch videos, played for jurors, of Karen admitting to being too drunk to drive in the moments before John O'Keefe was allegedly struck by Karen's car here - Jackson's cross, in some ways, was ill-fated before it began. Ian Whiffin, a world-renowned cell phone data expert and software coder from Cellebrite, confirmed for jurors that Jen McCabe's Google searches for "how long to die in cold", done at Karen Read's request while at the scene of John's death, occurred at 6:23am and 6:23am on 1/29/22. Watch video of that confirmation, which devastated Karen and her legal team, here - Wiffin also confirmed that John O'Keefe's phone never moved from the lawn of Fairview Road, based on GPS and temperature data, between 12:32:16am and after 6am on 1/29/22 (when John was found). See that testimony here - In turn, Friday should be a very bad day for Karen Read's defense. I'll be with you early tomorrow morning, as always, to provide special Towel Multi-Cam coverage --including the world famous Karen Cam-- via this link -

In Goodfellas, the actor playing the federal prosecutor negotiating Henry and Karen Hill's witness protection deal isn't an actor at all - it's Edward McDonald, the real-life prosecutor who negotiated the Hills' cooperation after their arrest in May 1980. How McDonald ended up in the film was pure chance. While prepping the film, Scorsese needed an authentic federal office for the scene. Nicholas Pileggi, who wrote the book the film was based on, knew McDonald from his years as a crime reporter and asked if a production assistant could photograph his office for reference. As the staffer was finishing up, McDonald turned and asked her, "Who's playing me in the movie?" "We haven't cast that part yet," she replied. "I'll do it! I'll play myself!" An hour and a half later, McDonald got a call from Pileggi and Scorsese asking if he was serious and whether he would be willing to come in for a screen test. As a forty-two-year-old attorney with no acting training, McDonald was extremely nervous going into the audition - especially when he saw Scorsese himself sitting behind the desk, whom he hadn't expected to see. To put him at ease, Scorsese playfully leaped up, raised his hands and shouted, "Oh, Mr. Prosecutor, I didn't do nothing! I didn't do nothing!" McDonald fired back, "You're nothing but a mook!" "I'm a mook?" Scorsese replied. "What's a mook? You're a mook!" The two men laughed, having just reenacted the classic scene from Scorsese's 1973 film Mean Streets. “Okay,” the director said. “Let’s get to work.” McDonald’s initial reading was stiff and unnatural. Recognizing that the script was holding back the prosecutor’s natural authority, Scorsese grabbed the papers from his hands and threw them on the floor. He turned to the actors standing in as Henry and Karen. “He’s the prosecutor,” Scorsese told them. “Ask him questions.” For the next several minutes, they fired improvised questions at McDonald, who was much more comfortable answering in his own words. "That was great. You'll be hearing from us," Scorsese said. After McDonald got the part, Scorsese told him he would keep a professional actor on standby during filming in case he froze under the pressure of the cameras. But he never did. Instead, he gave a natural, commanding performance, calmly explaining to Ray Liotta and Lorraine Bracco their options just as he had with Henry and Karen Hill a decade earlier. At one point, Bracco claims that she "doesn't know anything," and McDonald responds with a line he made up on the spot: "Don't give me the babe in the woods routine, Karen. I've listened to those wiretaps. And I've heard you on the telephone. You're talking about cocaine." More than thirty years later, fans still recognize him and repeat the line back to him. "People are always coming up to me. It's crazy. It's like a cult movie. This is thirty-five years ago I shot the movie. It's just a phenomenon."

Analyzing Episode 58. Season 2 aka Balancing the Scales This episode was some of Sinem and Ozan's best work. Their expressions landed every single time, and, frankly, short of screaming what the story is trying to say, they did everything they could to convince the audience that CihAl was, is, and will remain the endgame. With that out of the way, let's begin. We start the episode with Cihan shitting literal bricks as he sees Alya is already at the konak with Sadakat and Meryem arriving, right behind him. The reason is clear - he's caught in a difficult situation yet again. He doesn't want things to look like he's overriding Alya's existence in his life as its core, but circumstances keep making it so that he's put in awkward situations, which only compound his fear of pushing Alya past the point of no return. Meryem is all smiles and teeth at seeing the konak, but the minute her eyes land on Alya, her smile and her eyes drop to the floor. Almost like she was expecting something else entirely, but reality has shamed her. Her eyes remain downcast throughout the entire time she's walking towards Alya, as if Alya's the truth she can't cross eyes with. Alya, on the other hand, remains standing tall. She doesn't flinch, doesn't express any outward anger, but you can see the storm raging in her eyes. When Cihan tells her Meryem will have to stay at the konak, she merely looks at him and nods. And you can see terror mixed with shame (I think) on Cihan's face, but hers remains clear of emotion. And then she walks away, saying she needs to collect Deniz because she's tired. Now that's an exit. Poised, calm, and leaving behind an absolute massacre in the onlookers. The scene where Deniz meets Meryem is another masterpiece because it's very subtle in the message it delivers. Which is - human relations go beyond blood, beyond memory, beyond societal impediments, if the love on both sides is strong enough. When Deniz says he's named after his father, the little boy is telling the truth. Cihan may not be his father in blood, but he's the father Deniz loves, the father he chose for himself. Then the same message is repeated through Deniz about CihAl when Sadakat tries to create trouble by saying Alya and Cihan are divorced. To which Deniz innocently replies, they may be divorced now, but they can get married again. Again, highlighting the importance of human connection. CihAl keep choosing each other through whatever challenge life throws at them, because they love each other equally. Yes, marriages and divorce can be forced, but it's the presence or absence of love that determines the final outcome. Case in point, Alya's marriage to Boran, Cihan's marriage to Seyda, Nare with Ozkan, Zerrin and Demir, etc., etc. That's what anyone opposing CihAl doesn't understand. Love finds a way. Always. That's what the story has been about since the beginning - that love will stand strong in front of all, as long as what you feel is truly love, and not some imitation of it. Also, *hint* *hint* that's the second time someone has mentioned CihAl getting married again, so it's definitely coming. Now for the scene where Cihan and Alya talk in their room. Cihan is right to be afraid of Alya here because he's a first-hand witness to how Alya reacts when she's been betrayed. He's seen how she took off Boran's ring and buried it with him after she found out about the will. An extreme situation compared to this one, absolutely. But fears don't use logic. Cihan knows Alya is strong enough to move on, to rise from the ashes - her strength is what he loves and fears at the same time. So, when he says 'Think of the Cihan in Alya's eyes, I don't want to be that Cihan' he's saying I know it looks like I disregarded you and broke your trust again, but that's not how things were. He needs her to show emotions, not because it'll pander to his ego, but because that's a sign she's still involved. That she's not near the point where she says 'enough is enough.' Alya, on the flip side, can't show her emotions. Because, unlike what Cihan fears, it's because she's so in love with him, so involved, that she's afraid to even ask what Cihan feels. Because if she learns Cihan's past isn't just the past, that he still loves Meryem, it'll shatter her unlike anything else. Despite it all, Cihan manages to reach Alya somehow when he pleads, 'I need you to communicate with me.' It's like his fears break past her barriers and, in turn, allow her to open up a little to him because she admits she doesn't know what to do, and then out comes the real question, 'Don't you feel anything?' Kudos to Cihan for not dodging the question and saying whatever he feels for her is just memory and gratitude. Salak. And I say salak with all my love, because he still misses the elephant in the room. The point is the imbalance. When we tell someone they're the only love of our life, we want an equal declaration in return. If not, the loop remains incomplete - with one side a little more invested than the other. And, CihAl's story thus far has been the opposite of imbalance. Their story is about symmetry; they reflect each other in love, in wounds, in loss. Basically everything. So, how is it that Alya's only love is Cihan, while his isn't? It's not. And that's where that necklace reveal becomes important, but we'll get to that later. For now, let's talk about that little talk in the car. The story itself is giving us hints that this imbalance won't last long, because the minute Alya talks about her first brush with romance is the moment jealous Cihan makes a return. He gets jealous of a nameless, formless, 16-year-old boy who once had the audacity to date his wife. That is, he can't tolerate a contender for Alya's affections even in memory. Cihan is extremely possessive about Alya, which is why he doesn't waste a moment to remind her she told him he's her only love. And Alya, being Alya, doesn't waste a moment in reminding him that he didn't. And then she turns the screw a little by telling Cihan not to burn his heart over her teenage crush because she never planned to marry her crush, nor is she conveniently living under the same roof with him. Mic drop. Cihan's face at that moment is a study in being hoist by one's own petard. Because he's expecting Alya to be okay with something he can't even stand the idea of. He's jealous as hell, but he can't do anything about it. But why is all this happening? Because one of Cihan's biggest truths is - he loved Meryem and lost her. In truth, he didn't love her, which is why he didn't fight hard enough, which is why he lost her. If Cihan had truly loved Meryem the way he loves Alya, he would have fought until the bitter end. Like he's doing for Alya. That's the truth. In Uzak, true love isn't passive - it demands to be seen, to be felt, it doesn't sit back quietly and accept defeat. In this story, love demands to be chosen. And Cihan didn't choose Meryem, not in the way it matters. So, why can't Cihan just accept the truth already? Fear and guilt, I think. Fear of the magnitude of what he feels for Alya, and what losing her would do to him. And guilt because some part of him knows he didn't do for Meryem what he's doing for Alya. And of course, now there's the burden of her shitty ex, too. Nonetheless, fate keeps pushing Cihan to realize the truth, over and over again in this episode. Another glimpse of how passive Cihan may have been in his relationship with Meryem is the dinner scene. Sadakat points out how much Meryem loved stuffed kebabs, and Cihan is barely listening. This is the same man who knows what Alya likes to eat when she's on break during duty. When Meryem points out Cihan's allergy, he says it was something he had in the past, but no longer. Almost like he's comparing the feelings he once had for her to an allergy. What an allegory. See? The signs are all there, but Cihan isn't picking up on them completely. Then fate ups the ante with the arrival of Chef Engin. The first thing Cihan asks Alya when Engin is gone is - Is that him? As in, is that the boy you said loved you? The man goes off the rails in 0 to 60 seconds, and keeps coming up with excuses like he may have changed his name or appearance. The idea of not being the only man in Alya's life makes him lose his cool while Alya rightly points out that she's not the one living with her 'first love' currently. Which then leads to Cihan spending the night at the office. So, fate manages to teach him one lesson here. Which is - ask only for that which you're ready to give. Cihan needs emotional exclusivity from Alya, but hasn't given her the same yet. He's not built to share Alya, not with the past, not with a memory, not with anything. But the second he feels even a fraction of what Alya's been going through, he unravels marvelously. And that's the entire point of that sequence. It's not just jealous drama, it's exposure. Cihan is slowly being led towards the one truth staring him in the face. That's where the necklace comes in. Thus far, Ciho seems to be operating under the misconception that Meryem has moved on, like him. But that necklace (and the video) prove otherwise. Meryem's current attachment to him throws neutrality out the window. Because Cihan will now have to set absolute boundaries, and in doing so, understand why he's setting them. Why what he feels for Alya leaves no room for anyone else because he can't stand the idea of something similar in Alya's past, present, or future. Because they are each other's exception, and everyone else was the rule. And that's it from me for now. Till later. Happy reading, y'all. #CihAl #UzakŞehir
