In this episode of Turkish TV Obsessed, we discuss the season 1 finale of "As the Crow Flies.” Here's what we discuss:

Is My Face Okay?

Lale wakes up post-fight, head bleeding, living room trashed, but does she call the cops? Nope. She brushes it all off with one priority: “Is my face okay?” Talk about keeping your brand intact!

Yusuf to the Rescue

Move over, Olivia Pope! Yusuf sweeps in to clean up the mess Asli left behind, disposing of evidence and saving Lale’s public image—despite Asli being the worst girlfriend ever.

Lale’s Redecorating Story

Headscarf on, rug gone, coffee table mysteriously missing—Lale welcomes Selim and the kids home with the excuse of a spontaneous redecorating spree. But when her daughter steps on a stray shard of glass, even Selim’s chill demeanor starts to crack.

Gul’s Power Play

Gul drags Asli into her office for the ultimate showdown: “Prove to me why you deserve that chair.”

Müge Switches Teams

Asli taps into Müge’s pent-up rage over the Lale-Kenan drama, convincing her to betray Lale. With Müge’s help, they plot a newsroom takedown. Team Chaos is officially in action!

Walkout in the Newsroom

Müge’s plan to sabotage Lale hits a snag when most of the newsroom staff quit in protest. Turns out, Team Lale has some ride-or-die fans, and Müge’s left scrambling with only a skeleton crew to carry out the plot.

Kenan Kept Busy

Gul keeps Kenan distracted with a fake meeting about sponsors, ensuring he stays far away while the newsroom sets its trap.

Lale Falls for the Trap

With a concussion clouding her judgment, Lale reports fabricated news live on air. Meanwhile, Asli’s 75 troll accounts light up social media with a viral storm of #FakeNewsLale.

Lale’s Mic-Drop Moment

Realizing she’s been duped, Lale doesn’t back down. She calls out the prank live on air, exposing the toxic newsroom culture in an epic speech. With Nunu and Kenan backing her up, she turns the tables on Team Chaos.

Exit with Applause

Lale quits live on air, walking out with her head high. As she leaves, cheering fans crowd her car, proving her legacy as a news icon is unshakable—even when the newsroom tried to break her.

Freedom Looks Good on Lale

The next morning, Lale wakes up to a quieter, happier life. With her natural curls and a carefree smile, she joins Selim and the kids for a pool day. Goodbye stress, hello family time!

Be Careful What You Wish For, Asli

Asli finally gets her dream: Lale’s chair. But as the cameras roll, she’s hit by a chill that screams “you’re next.” Surrounded by hungry coworkers waiting for her to fail, the crown feels heavier than she imagined.
