In the first season, she had a stalker, nicknamed Mavi Sakal (meaning Blue Beard). The students -also the audience- suspected her lovers: Ali and Yadigar, and her rival: Aslım. But Mavi Sakal was none of those. He was Barış, who wanted to dedicate a book to his one and only love: Gamze.

He understood Barış's plan and he tried to steal his novel. Barış decided to kill Ali, but his novel fell into a fire, and he burned his face trying to save it. As Ali ran away, he told the police that Ali burned his face. But the police and Kemal half believed Barış, as they hadn't listened to Ali yet. They researched Barış's room, and Kemal hid the CD that he found from the police. He watched it and saw that it was just a CD recorded by Barış for the love of Eda, so he gave it to Eda. Eda watched it and realized a green sweatshirt behind Barış, which belonged to Mavi Sakal. She, with the help of the police, convinced Barış that she'd take her own revenge from Ali, by burning him. As Barış's face was disfigured, and as he'd lost his own father in a fire, he didn't want Ali to be burned and confessed to be Mavi Sakal. After this confession, Eda was temporarily relieved. Then, Barış came back to Büyük Zafer for revenge, he shot Eda in the arm. She, nevertheless, participated in the exam and attended university.
