Currently it doesn't sound like he will be back to film any scenes to wrap his character, and since it would be very unusual to for them to have shot his coverage for an opening scene of season 2 during the filming of the finale, those wedding party shots of him could be the last we see of him.
So, on the one hand, he stayed a pretty minor character, and they didn't really need to do anything else with him. Most of his storylines were either over - main one being is he a mole or not - or ones that he could lift right out of without impacting much of what anyone else has going on - like his crush on Sultan or his tension with other family members.
As much as I loved the reveal that he was a double mole working for Bozo the whole time, I did wonder what they would do with him once that was revealed. They hadn't really set up anything big for him beyond that, and since so much of his character was that mystery, the question of what to pivot to going forward was something I was really curious about. As it turns out, the plan was to do nothing else! Assuming this was always a planned exit, anyway. Which I think it was, but who knows.
Since he can lift right out of all the other storylines without problem (which actually is one of the problems I do have with the series so far, but that's another topic) that leaves a couple of questions.
If we are just looking at it from his character's POV, there is one pretty big story thread I think they need to adress. One thing we did learn about him is how protective he is of Çigdem, and his voluntary departure right in the middle of the escalating tensions would seem a bit odd. This is like, what - the 4th family gathering recently that has ended in gunfire or an explosion.
Poor Hande. Lady, if you don't follow through on breaking up with Ferhat after this, you need to at least stop going to his family events, c'mon now.
They could revoke some parole or something I guess, send him back to prison. Or kill him during the gunfight. Presumably offscreen, but it's not impossible to shoot around his absence, and even give him (what in my opinion would be an unsatisfying) death.
Çigdem could leave, as her storyline could also be over at this point. Which would solve the whole "but why would he leave her in danger voluntarily" problem. If she goes, so could her parents. . And if they go, I don't see them keeping Derman either.
Now, if they just don't care about his character at this point, you could also keep all of those characters. They wouldn't themselves really be changed by his absence. The mom would maybe mention him, and even miss him, but that's really about it. And no one else, outside Ferhat has a very strong connection to him either.
Bozo presumably trusts him enough he was fine plotting with him, but Bozo and trust are so whacky that it could have just been a gamble on Bozo's end, and not saying something particular about their relationship.
But more importantly to me, what could this mean for the opening scene? Are we getting a time skip to cover his absence from the aftermath of the gun going off? Or just some careful filming around the room to hide that he isn't there, with a passing mention of his fate afterwards?
Curious to find out!
As an aside, I will say, if Azize leaves I will be upset. I know she kinda faded into the background once she teamed up with them, mainly being a Hülya wrangler, but I was still hoping for more with her. They've got an interesting set up with her and Mother Gülsüm becoming closer, and she could even have an interesting dynamic with Ceylan if they wanted to pursue it.
Knocking on wood that they do have more planned for her, and that the thing with her son isn't the end of her story.
