As the Crow Flies(Kuş Uçuşu): Season 3, Episode 7 Recap

The writers might have packed up early, but we’re still here. Somehow everything is spiraling while also stalling. It's a weird combination of filler scenes, heavy trauma drops, sudden baldness, and questionable professional decisions. Let’s get into it.

In this episode:

• Lale opens the episode dancing and yawning on a balcony, which sets the tone. Zero context. Big filler energy.
• She and Aslı are working on a global story, which turns out to be about the emotional aftermath of the pandemic. Not exactly breaking news in 2025, but sure.
• Müge spends half the episode staring at a whiskey bottle.
• Müge stares at a billboard of herself, then sees Aslı's right next to it. Apparently in this show, a new anchor means a billboard goes up within 45 minutes. Those printers work overtime.
• We are suddenly hit with Lale's long-lost backstory about getting grazed by a bullet in Iraq. Never mentioned before, now dropped like a live grenade. It’s giving end-of-series character dump.
• Müge’s hair starts falling out in giant clumps. She goes from mildly stressed to near-bald in one episode. We are not exaggerating. There are closeups of hair in tissues and eyeliner being used to cover bald patches. Drama is on the scalp now.
• Kenan sees Müge and says, “What are those bags under your eyes,” followed shortly by a comment on her hair.
• We are still waiting for Yusuf and Asli to reappear and get it on.
• Kenan is seething while watching Lale's segment from his own studio. Then he plays basketball alone because there was no budget for extras and no friends willing to shoot hoops with this man.
• Finally, Yusuf and Aslı are seen cuddling in bed, eating strawberries, and being adorable.
• Meanwhile, Müge is sobbing on the floor, clutching her hair, until she finds out she is trending number one. She screams with joy, still crying, hair still in hand. Peak emotional whiplash.
• Back at work, Kenan remains a human red flag. Müge is finally being celebrated, but Gül low-key torments her by picking hair off her jacket like she’s collecting evidence.
• Aslı and Lale argue on air about generational values. Aslı plays the brash Gen Z, Lale plays the dignified Gen X. Aslı wants to be “watchable,” Lale wants to be “respected.” They fight, but the ratings go up. Aslı wins the point. Lale sulks with poise.
• Müge is back in the makeup chair. There’s not much hair left to style. They’re basically coloring her scalp with eyeliner like it’s a Crayola emergency.
• Kenan reveals his next evil plan: invite Lale onto Müge’s show to ambush her with questions that expose she may have lied about being shot in Iraq. Because what else do toxic exes do in this show besides public takedowns?
• Lale accepts the invite. Gül thinks she’s being diplomatic. Turns out she’s playing her own game.
• Surprise twist. Lale just wanted to poach Nunu. All of this could have been solved with a text, but apparently televised sabotage was the preferred method.
• Kenan finds out and is furious. Müge finally sees him clearly and tells him he is not Lale’s strength, he is her personal hell. If anyone deserves a slow clap this episode, it’s Müge for that line.
• Final scene: Kenan shows up at Lale’s door. She looks stunned. We look concerned.

Three seasons of tension and trauma are converging. One episode left.

If you’re still with us, congratulations. You deserve a billboard. Preferably one designed and printed within 20 minutes. See you in the finale.
