The final episode of Season 1 of 'The Club' sees a dramatic turn of events. For Matilda, she now seems to have won the battle with Celebi, who is seen packing his things, ready to leave. After he was confronted by Orhan for being in love with her, Celebi goes into a fit of rage. However, Matilda confronted him earlier on accused him of mentally torturing her, as he was trying to avenge the death of Mumtaz, her former lover and the man who betrayed her family.

Celebi's feelings are not entirely known, but be it love or hate, he is obsessed with Matilda, seeing that earlier on, he makes a prostitute wear her earrings before they get physical. Meanwhile, Selim, who is all set for his first live broadcast seems to have a growing attitude that comes with his stardom. He sees the broadcast as a way to reunite with his family, who have disowned him for singing. However, just moments before the broadcast, the club gets wind that Selim's father has died, prompting them to hide the news from him. In an attempt to sabotage Matilda, Celebi lets the news reach Selim, who is visibly distraught.



 

Selim refuses to go on stage, but after talking to Matilda, he manages to perform. Still emotional, he begs Matilda to spend the night with him, as he has no one else. But as Matilda decides to be with her friend who needs her, her daughter Rasel seems to be having issues of her own. Rasel has known for a while now that she is pregnant with Ismet's child, before her engagement with Mordiko. She tries to get an abortion but can't bring herself to go through with it.

She later confuses the truth to Mordiko, who accepts it, and tells her that they can run away to Israel so that the child doesn't grow up an orphan or a bastard like she did. Rasel encourages Ismet to follow his own dream of travelling around the world, stating that even though he has hurt her, he opened her eyes to the truth. She leaves, leaving behind Matilda, who initially stayed back only for her. However, now with Rasel and Celebi gone, Matilda has no real reason to stay behind, as her fate remains unknown.
