As the Crow Flies(Kuş Uçuşu): Season 3, Episode 8 Recap

It's the series finale (confirmed: Netflix canceled it, we’re grieving), and while we didn’t get the resolution we wanted, we did get chaos, fainting, mafia vibes, and a wine-drenched phone. What more could we ask for? Oh right…Yusuf and Aslı together.

In this episode:

• Kenan finally admits he's toxic and Lale says “no, it’s just love” in the most frustrating anti-growth moment of the series.
• Lale and Kenan consider fleeing to the Aegean Sea to start an olive oil business???
• Aslı wakes up at Yusuf’s, gets grilled by Güliz over the phone. Aslı uses his twine-wrapped gift ribbon as a hair tie.
• Güliz spots the hair tie, connects all the dots, and officially loses it.
• Nunu returns to Team Lale, proving yet again he’s the most loyal man in Turkish television.
• Güliz and Aslı engage in a literal car chase that ends in a crash, a confrontation in the street, and Güliz fainting like a Victorian debutante.
• Güliz’s mafia-adjacent dad assembles 12 men to sue and “destroy” Aslı and Yusuf.
• Aslı, realizing she’s doomed, writes Yusuf a goodbye letter and dunks her phone in wine in the most dramatic exit imaginable.
• Yusuf—still madly in love—gets a sticker for his notebook that says “I won’t apologize.” A true icon.
• Müge’s hair falls out. She quits in a robe and slippers. A stunning end to her arc.
• Lale gives her final news show with Nunu giving a goodbye monologue worthy of an Oscar.
• Yusuf ends up working at Turkish TMZ. Aslı as his phone wallpaper. Sad.
• Lale becomes a speaker or maybe a professor? A woman gives her a mysterious phone number. (It’s giving Season 4 setup. Thanks for nothing, Netflix.)
• In the final scene, Lale finds Aslı and says, “It’s time to fight.”

We’re still mad about the cancellation but grateful for three seasons of pure Turkish chaos.
