In this episode of Turkish TV Obsessed, we discuss season 2, episode 2 of "As the Crow Flies.” Here's what we discuss:

War Yusuf’s Wild New Chapter

• Yusuf in the Trenches
• From gossip blogger to war correspondent, Yusuf is now brokering deals in a literal warzone. Talk about a career pivot!
• Lale’s “Good Boy” Moment
• Watching Yusuf’s livestream, Lale can’t help but admire his fearless reporting. Cue the heart eyes emoji.

Lale’s Not-So-Glorious Comeback

• Public Access Queen
• Lale settles into her budget-friendly new job, complete with sponsors like Arbor Cookies.
• Kenan’s Cringey Pep Talk
• Kenan, ever the master of ick, turns Lale’s idealistic moment into another “we’re meant to be” speech. Nope, sir. Just… no.

Asli’s Ice-Cold Reality

• The Chill Returns
• Asli gets the infamous newsroom shivers—just like Lale in Season 1. The hunter has officially become the hunted.
• Yusuf’s Brutal Truth Bomb
• Post-steamy reunion, Yusuf tells Asli the hard truth: she’s in a power position where everyone is waiting for her to fail.

Nepo Baby Alert

• Güliz is Back!
• Asli flies to London to recruit Güliz, the ultimate Nepo News Baby, for an unknown scheme. Güliz, unbothered as ever, still has us guessing.

The Awards Debacle

• Lale’s No-Show Power Move
• Lale attends the news ceremony but skips the stage, leaving Asli awkwardly hanging during her big moment. Savage.
• Kenan’s Sandwich Seduction
• Post-awards, Kenan and Lale share a heartfelt moment over curbside sandwiches. Naturally, he tries to slip in an “I love you.” Ugh.

Asli’s PR Nightmare

• Controversy Turns Catastrophic
• Asli’s live takedown of a controversial guest backfires when the guest attempts to take her life. Cue internet outrage and cancel culture.
• Gul’s Winning Moment
• Watching the drama unfold, Gul smirks and whispers, “Game over.” Is it really, though?

This episode delivers on all fronts—steamy hookups, revenge plots, and the ultimate PR disaster. With Lale back in the game, Yusuf stirring things up, and Asli fighting to hold her ground, the stage is set for an explosive season.
