Episode 86 of Diriliş: Ertuğrul continues the intense political and emotional turmoil surrounding the Kayı tribe as they strive for survival and justice amidst betrayal, shifting alliances, and the looming threat of the Templars and Mongols.
The episode opens with heightened tension within the tribe. Ertuğrul is more determined than ever to uncover the full extent of the treachery within his camp. After the shocking revelations about Emir Saadettin Köpek’s manipulations and the treason of Ural Bey, Ertuğrul begins to take calculated steps to strengthen his position and prepare for the trials ahead. He knows that a misstep could bring destruction not just to him, but to the entire Kayı people.
Meanwhile, Saadettin Köpek continues to scheme within the Seljuk court, manipulating the sultan and consolidating his influence. His ambition grows unchecked, and he views Ertuğrul’s independence and integrity as a direct threat to his authority. He secretly aligns with other enemies of Ertuğrul, hoping to orchestrate his downfall from within and outside the court.
Back in the Kayı tribe, Turgut Alp and Bamsi are sent on important missions to gather intelligence and secure new alliances.

Rumors of their resurgence begin to circulate, and their influence casts a dark shadow over the region once again.
As Ertuğrul continues his struggle, internal tensions arise with the Çavdar tribe, especially with Aslıhan Hatun. Although brave and determined, Aslıhan is caught between her duties to her tribe and her growing respect and admiration for Ertuğrul.
