Are you looking for one of your favorite Ertugrul Season 2 scenes but can’t remember which episode it’s in? Have you just finished Season 1 and are wondering what’s in store for you in the upcoming season? Here is your complete Season 2 episode guide!

Season 2 is very likely the longest season out of all 5 from Dirilis Ertugrul with a whopping 103 episodes on Netflix. There are tons of memorable scenes you may want to look back on without having to rewatch the entire season. Well, luck is on your side because I have compiled all of the major moments (and some notable minor scenes, as well) from Season 2.

Enjoy! (Or not. Season 2 is full of tragedy, drama, death, and destruction. So if you want to stay happy, stop now.)

SPOILERS UP AHEAD

This should probably go without saying, but of course, this post is FULL of spoilers for Ertugrul Season 2. Proceed at your own risk.

Episode 1: Halime Tells Ertugrul She is Pregnant

Halime tells Ertugrul she is pregnant with their first child, Gunduz. — YouTube Video, Resurrection Ertugrul

Season 2 starts right off with Ertugrul finding out that Halime is pregnant with their first child, Gunduz. The few minutes of joy do not last, however, as Ertugrul soon gets kidnapped by Mongols. Meanwhile, the Kayi tribe is being attacked mercilessly.

Episode 3: Aykiz dies

In one of the all-time saddest deaths of the whole show, Aykiz dies in Turgut’s arms after much agony from being burned alive by Noyan and his soldiers. The actress for Aykiz didn’t stay on for Season 2, so the body that appears in the scene looks nothing like her, a staunch reminder of the excessive cruelty that led to her death.

Episode 4: Ertugrul’s fake death by Noyan

This is the very first time Ertugrul has a fake death scene. This time it’s at the hands of Noyan who makes it seem like Ertugrul has been burned alive. The set-up is so believable that Ertugrul’s entire family and his tribe mourn his loss.

Episode 5: Hand Nail Episode Torture scenes

This is more of an episode to avoid if you are going through Season 2 again. One of the worst torture scenes in the whole show, and I hate that they keep showing flashbacks of it in later episodes.

Episode 8: Alp Banishment, geyikli saves ertugrul

Geyikli saves Ertugrul in Season 2 from Noyan. Quote: Love can kill us from within and also bring us back to life. — Twitter @TRTErtugrul_EN

A lot happens in this very tense episode. Back in the tribe, the alps (Dogan, Abdurrahman, and Hamza) get banished after Tugtekin accuses them of being traitors (when, in fact, it’s his own alp Kocabash who is the traitor). In better news, Ertugrul escapes from Noyan’s den after a very dramatic and stressful sequence of events. He is saved by none other than the funny lovable forest hermit, Geyikli who has his own secret home set-up in a cave in the woods.

Episode 9: Funny Reunion with Ertugrul and His Alps

Ertugrul and his alps reunite in Geyikli's cave in Season 2 — YouTube Video, Klera – Ertugrul Fan

After so many episodes of pain, torture, sorrow, and frustration, we finally get a bit of joy and humor in one of the funniest light-hearted moments in the season. Geyikli brings the banished alps to his cave and reunites them with Ertugrul. Because they thought Ertugrul was dead, they are shocked to see him alive and don’t believe it at first. It’s hilarious when Abdurrahman demands to know if Ertugrul is a jinn or some supernatural creature.

Episode 10: Ertugrul Returns to the Tribe

Ertugrul returns to the tribe from the dead. — YouTube, TRT Resurrection Ertugrul

Finally, finally, finally, 10 episodes into the season, Ertugrul returns to his tribe and reunites with his family. His dramatic arrival occurs in the middle of Tugtekin’s alp meeting, so both the Kayi and Dodurga tribes are already gathered together. Ertugrul steals Tugtekin’s spotlight, which makes him angry, so we can already see that this is going to go poorly.

Episode 12: Tugtekin gets chosen as the Alp Basi over Ertugrul

The cousin rivalry between Ertugrul and Tugtekin is already putting their tribe’s fate in a high stakes situation. The Kayis and Dodurgas hold a toy (meeting) to decide who should be the next commander of the alps. When everyone finds out that Ertugrul’s hand is damaged and he can’t fight, Tugtekin is almost unanimously chosen. In a shocking turn of events, Hayme Hatun votes against Ertugrul, and the rest of the Kayi tribe follows her lead. Not only is Ertugrul not given the position of Alp-Basi, but he’s also stripped of the title of alp altogether until his hand heals.

Episode 13: Turgut and Dogan Resign from Being Alps

Turgut and Dogan resign from being alps in a dramatic faceoff against Tugtekin in the alp training courtyard.

Episode 14: Awkward scene between Gokce and Ertugrul

It seems that time did not heal all wounds. Gokce is still in love with Ertugrul even though he has been married to Halime for two years now. There is a super awkward scene between Gokce and Ertugrul in which she tenderly touches his hand. It was so awkward that we thought we had to memorialize it. If awkward scenes make you cringe too much, avoid this scene at all costs.

Episode 15: Ertugrul and Gundogdu have a fist fight

Ertugrul and Gundogdu fight — YouTube, Dirilis Ertugrul

There’s a moment much later in the show when Hayme Ana says exasperatedly, “Won’t you two brothers EVER get along?” (The answer is no.) In Episode 15, Ertugrul and Gundodgdu have a full-on fistfight with insults, blood, lots of blame throwing, and everything else in between. Their enemies watch gleefully.

Episode 17: Ibn Arabi’s First Appearance in Season 2, Secrets about Korkut Come out, and Gundogdu sucks

By the time you get this far into the season, you might be wondering if Ibn Arabi even shows up at all this season. Don’t worry; he’s still alive, and a lot happens in this episode. Firstly, Ibn Arabi makes his first appearance in the season but not in real life (Ertugrul sees him in a dream). We also find out more about Duru Hatun (Korkut Bey’s dead wife) and Korkut’s past; turns out, Korkut is no angel. He was having a secret affair with Aytolun (his current wife) while Duru was still alive.

Furthermore, Gundogdu reaches pinnacle rottenness in this episode and physically abuses Selcan.

In better news, but not much better, Ertugrul starts practicing sword fighting with his injured hand.

Episode 21: How Does Abdurrahman Escape the caged Tent?

Turali helps Abdurahman escape — Pinterest, Hatun

While rewatching this season with my family, we remembered that Abdurrahman would escape from the caged tent, but we couldn’t remember how. It turns out that Turali (the adorable orphan boy who is “adopted” by Deli Demir) has a huge role in this secret mission. Abdurrahman escapes the tent with help from Artuk Bey, Deli Demir, and Turali (who sets a fire so Abdurrahman can leave unnoticed). Meanwhile, Ertugrul is chilling in his tent having dinner with his family so no one can accuse him of helping Abdurrahman escape. Of course, everyone knows or strongly suspects he’s behind it, but they can’t prove it.

Episode 23: Moments with the Alps, aytolun Drama

In this episode, there’s a cute moment with the alps who are having dinner in the cave as they make jokes with each other, and then Dogan ruins it by reminding Turgut of Aykiz.

In other news, Gokce has dinner with Aytolun and the family, and the Selcan-Aytolun drama comes to a head when Selcan slaps Aytolun.

Episode 24: Ibn Arabi’s First Season 2 Appearance that’s not in a dream

Ertugrul meets with Ibn Arabi for the first time in a long time when he goes to visit his dad’s grave and get out the chest he buried there. Meanwhile, Abdurrahman goes to Noyan as a spy.

Episode 25: Clothing ceremony with Ibn Arabi

We finally find out what was in that chest all during Season 1, and honestly, it’s kind of anticlimactic. It turns out that there was an outfit inside the chest that everyone was dying and killing for during the whole first season. Ibn Arabi and Ertugrul have a whole clothing ceremony with a large gathering of the white-bearded men.

Back in the Kayi tribe, Gundogdu continues to be a terrible person, and he kicks Selcan out of his tent.

Episode 26: Halime follows the alps to the cave to see Ertugrul, goncagul’s first appearance

In a cute, fun sequence of events, Halime follows Turgut and Dogan to Geyikli’s cave after they refuse to tell her Ertugrul’s whereabouts. They reunite briefly, while Ertugrul light-heartedly makes fun of Turgut and Dogan for being followed. (They knew she was following them but didn’t know what to do about it, so they just let it go.)

Back at the tribe, Goncagul makes her first appearance in the show. Meanwhile, in Noyan’s lair, Abdurrahman puts doubts in Noyan’s mind about who he can trust.

Episode 27: Ertugrul Sneaks into the Tribe and Gokce Gets her official marriage proposal

Because Ertugrul is exiled, he is technically not allowed to return to the tribe. However, he sneaks into the tribe to meet with Ertokus. This happens to be on the same night as Gokce’s marriage proposal dinner. She sees Ertugrul, and he convinces her to accept Tugtekin’s marriage proposal.

Episode 29: Gumustekin’s first appearance

This episode features Gumustekin’s first appearance. There is also an order for Ertugrul to be killed.

Episode 31: Gumustekin tries to put Halime and Deli Demir in the caged tent

Gumustekin has just joined the show, and he is already causing problems. He tries to put Halime and Deli Demir in the cage as a display of his power.

Episode 32: Bamsi’s first season 2 appearance

Hayme Ana finds out that Sungurtekin is alive — YouTube, TRT Resurrection Ertugrul

I can’t believe we went through 31 episodes without Bamsi in Season 2! Bamsi makes his first appearance with a dramatic entrance that does not disappoint.

Another great scene features Hayme finding out that Sungurtekin is alive.

Later, the old lady who knows Aytolun’s secret meets Selcan and gets killed by Goncagul.

Episode 33: Tugtekin finds out that Kocabash is a traitor

After refusing to believe Ertugrul and his alps for so long, Tugtekin finally finds out that Kocabash is bad in a face-off with Noyan and his soldiers.

Episode 34: Noyan severely injures Tugtekin and his alps and leaves them to die

Tugtekin and his alps get severely injured when Noyan attacks them and leaves them to die after setting a trap for them.

Episode 35: Scary Duru Scene, Ertugrul gets blamed for Tugtekin’s “Death”

In a scary supernatural ghost-like sequence, Duru appears in Korkut’s dream as he continues to feel guilt for his actions. Later, the tribe is informed that Ertugrul killed Tugtekin.

Episode 36: Ertugrul Kills Kocabash and Korkut Bey Accidentally Stabs Hayme Ana

Ertugrul comes to the tribe and kills Kocabash and gets backlash from the Dodurga tribe. Then, in a tense face-off between both tribes, things get out of hand when Korkut accidentally stabs Hayme Ana with a dagger that was intended for Ertugrul.

Episode 38: Ertugrul and Selcan have a talk

Ertugrul and Selcan have a talk. Turns out it is possible to have a civil discussion about dramatic things. Who knew?

Episode 39: Hayme Ana Almost Dies

There are many moments throughout the series when it seems like Hayme Ana might die. Season 2, Episode 39 comes very close. In fact, Hayme Hatun lingers between life and death when she sees Suleyman Shah in what appears to be a dream or vision. In the dream, he basically tells her not to die.

In a terrible, violent attack, Mongols sneak into the tribe at night and go on a killing spree.

Episode 41: Sungurtekin scene

After 1.5 seasons of hearing about Sungurtekin, the long-lost brother who disappeared in battle many years ago, we finally get to see him in person. He appears on his horse in a dramatic first appearance as Deli Demir and Halime are about to get killed.

Episode 42: Ertugrul’s Trial and dramatic rescue scene at Ertugrul’s Execution

After an unfair trial to determine Ertugrul’s fate, the tribes prepare for his execution. However, thanks to some smart planning and quick thinking by Selcan and the alps, there’s a dramatic rescue scene just as Korkut Bey is about to kill Ertugrul.

Episode 43: Tugtekin is returned to the tribe

Ibn Arabi has been secretly caring for Tugtekin and nursing him to back to health as he lingers between life and death. Finally, the alps figure it’s time to bring him back to the tribe to prove, once and for all, that Ertugrul didn’t kill his cousin.

Episode 44: Gundogdu is elected as the new alp basi

Another toy commences, and the beys elect Gundogdu as the new alp basi or commander.

Episode 45: Karabek dies

After an intense battle between Ertugrul’s alps and the Mongols, Ertugrul manages to chase Karabek down and demands information from him. However, Tangut throws his dagger at him before Karabek can say anything, and Karabek dies.

Episode 46: banu cicek’s first appearance

After hearing about Dogan’s supposed love interest at various points in earlier episodes, we finally get to meet Banu Cicek this season. Her first appearance makes for a great comical scene, as we get to witness awkward, lovable Dogan.

Episode 48: Ertugrul and Sungurtekin meet up

For the first time, Ertugrul and Sungurtekin meet up secretly (or so they think) in the karavanserai, but Noyan and the Mongols launch an attack on them. Sungurtekin gets severely injured.

Episode 50: Sungurtekin returns to tribe scene, great sarcastic selcan

In a very emotional scene (one of my favorite and most memorable scenes from the entire show), Hayme Ana is finally reunited with Sungurtekin after years of uncertainty about his fate and longing to see him again.

In this episode, we also get to see some great sarcastic moments and clap-backs by Selcan.

Episode 51: Selcan kidnapped

In a frustrating sequence of events, Selcan gets kidnapped, an event that could have been prevented if Gundogdu entered her tent like he planned to. However, Goncagul draws him away.

Episode 53: Ertugrul and his alps travel to sogut; Selcan is kidnapped; Hamza Escapes

Gundogdu is dying so Selcan and Halime go to a nearby field to collect herbs that will heal him. Aytolun and Goncagul see them going alone and follow close behind to attack them in an intense fighting scene. Meanwhile, Ertugrul has set up a plot to expose Gumustekin’s true nature to Tugtekin.

In this terrible, frustrating episode, we feel a sense of utter helplessness and foreboding during this re-watch because we know how this is all going to end up. Noyan kidnaps Gokce, while Hayme Ana, Selcan, and Gundogdu helplessly watch. Their efforts to save her are futile.

This episode is fraught with drama, tragedy, and sorrow. Turgut escapes and kills Ulubilge in one of the only satisfying scenes this episode. In a terrible death scene, Noyan kills Gokce right in front of Tugtekin. Later, Yigit gets shot by Emir Sadettin’s goons.

Episode 93: Selcan Finds out Gokce is dead

The alps find Tugtekin dying and Gokce’s dead body and bring them back to the tribe. In a truly tragic scene, Selcan discovers that her sister has been killed and mourns.

Episode 95: Tugtekin and Gokce’s Funeral

In an intense, scary scene in which Kopek’s soldier kidnaps baby Gunduz, Hayme Ana appears right on time and shoots an arrow at the bad guy, killing him and allowing Ertugrul to grab Gunduz and save him.
