The new "family" has to get used to each other - which is much more complicated than Mirto and Metin thought: Elli and Dilek have to share a room, which complicates their sisterhood right from the beginning, as does the fact that Elli is an atheist and Dilek a pious Muslim girl wearing a headscarf. Mirto, who is very free-spirited, has to get used to her new role as a mother of four instead of two children, her stepson Cem, who is a bit of a macho, and her stepdaughter, who is very critical of her less than decent kitchen-skills. Meanwhile Elli and Nicko have to try to fit in in their new school, which is very different from their old school. In the meantime,their relationship with their step brothers gets worse and worse.
