Hameeda is praying in her room, Salima comes in. Hameeda enquires whether there has been further progress in Benazir’s case and is told that nothing has happened so far and she narrates the nights events, Hameeda gets wildly angry and decides to confront Benazir and make her spit out the truth, but she’s counseled by Salima to exercise patience.
Salima tells Hameeda to leave the Benazir issue in Jodha’s hands, as she feels that Jodha has begun to love Jalal and it’s better that she gets more opportunity to get closer to him. Hameeda is lost in admiration at the large heart of Salima who knows no jealousy about the other wives of Jalal.
Jodha is in her apartment, upset that she did not apply the balm on Jalal’s hands. Moti enquires the reason for her absent mindedness and the pent up feelings burst forth, as Jodha narrates how Ruqaiyya forced her away from Jalal. Moti hints that she might be in love with Jalal and that’s the reason why she keeps on going to Jalal, despite him being angry at her, scolding her, etc.
Jodha retorts that he might be angry, but she is not and moreover, she is doing this as duty demands it and she is being a dutiful Wife, saying so, Jodha walks away… Moti smiles to herself and thinks this two are very stubborn, both love one another immensely, yet refuse to acknowledge it.
Ruqaiya is in her room, quite irritated and refusing to eat. Maham walks in there and realizes that Ruqaiya is angry at Jodha and she’s agitated about the ruses that Jodha employs to get closer to Jalal! Maham cautions Ruqaiya against complacency and says there is a way to reduce the influence of Jodha on Jalal, Ruqaiya is eager to know the means and is told that Jodha must be thrown out of the Palace and sent away from Agra. Ruqaiyya is left fuming and trying to figure out ways of keeping Jodha away from Jalal.
Benazir is impatient and is trying to find out ways of getting Abul Mali out of prison and also on the lookout for more venom to feed on, Just then, a secret message comes via a watermelon giving out the blueprint of the Prison. Benazir is happy and decides to meet Kamal Khan, some courier who will help them.
Salima and Jodha who were in Jodha’s Palace discuss about their next move. They are informed by Moti that Benazir is going out of the Palace disguised as a slave, Jodha and Salima decide to follow her disguised themselves.
Diwan-E-Khas (Royal Court)
Jalal enquires about the progress of Chanderi War and is told that Mirza Hakim has subjugated the rebellion, Jalal enquires about Maan Singh and is also told that Maan Singh fought with exemplary courage, Jalal muses aloud that Maan Singh ought to be granted Maansabdari which does not go well with Maham, she tries to point out that Maan Singh is rather too young for Maansabdari, but Jalal silences her citing his own age when he ascended the throne.
Maham diverts the issue and asks about the person who atacked Jalal? Atgah replies that he has not found the person yet. Jalal tells Atgah not to pursue the issue further, as he’s sure that it’s someone close and that he will find out the person himself, there is a enigmatic expression in his face while saying so.
Jalal continues his questioning and probes about Shivani and Tejwant, He is told that no clue has emerged about their whereabouts, Jalal insists that they must be caught ASAP! Jalal turns to Adham, and enquires about the Malwa conquest? Adham assures him that things are under control, Maham beams proudly.
At the Market, Benazir realizes that Salima and Jodha are following her, she tries to fool them. Salima and Jodha realize that Benazir has come to know that she is being followed and is attempting to divert them, just then, the Town crier comes and informs the common people not to drink the water from a certain well as the water of the well has turned poisonous. Salima and jodha realize that, THAT was the well in which Benazir had jumped in!! Salima is happy that they have got proof now.
Jodha and Salima comes to the well where they see the deadbodies and sees a man mourning over his friend’s death, the other man ask whether they died because of this water? He says yes, they drunk water from this well, one man says I drank water last week, but I am fine, all deduce that this is not a small thing, so we should inform Jalal.
In the Palace, Jalal meets Hamida who suggests that they should give one chance to Jodha, Jalal says I don’t understand her, she always does weird things, nobody tries to talk in front of me, but Jodha, she always stands against me, Hamida says maybe she is right, Jalal says I know what you are saying, I did believe her and asked for proof for Benazir and she was proved innocent. He assures Hamida that don’t worry, I will always be there for you.
Jodha and salima comes back to the Palace, Jodha ask Salima are you afraid? Salima says yes and no both. Adham listens to their conversation, Salima says I was afraid of seeing her poisonous strength, as the whole well became poisonous. What if she had bitten Jalal, but I am satisfied too, as you are there for him.
Jodha and Jalal are together. Jalal says some enemy did poisoned the well, Jodha says it is Benazir, she had fallen in the well, I listened to people. Jalal ask why you had gone to the Market? Jodha says I was going to the Temple.
Jalal calls Atgah and Adham, Adham informs that yes, the well was poisonous and it had many dead snakes that made the water poisonous, Jodha is stunned. They leave.
Jalal says you again said false things, this proves that you are only jealous of her, he ask her to help Ruqaiya in preparing for the marriage as my new bride is coming, Jodha leaves angry. Jalal says it seems your jealousy will want to stop me from marrying Benazir.
Adham Khan says amazing Jodha, you have the talent in recognizing people, he remembers how a man has informed him about the well being poisonous. He says Mom, you always think I don’t use my brains but now, I have the ace card in my hand, it’s been proved that she is poisonous. Adham says so this news is right. This poison will now kill Jalal! Adham smirks.
Zakira shows Benazir a dress of her marriage, she throws it away and says I don’t want to do this marriage!! Adham comes so Zakira leaves, he says God has made you in a very leisure time, everything is beautiful like anger, beauty, brain and poison. Benazir is tensed. Adham says hope your step will be right, Benazir ask what are you talking about? Adham says I get to know that you are a poisonous lady, Benazir says it’s wrong.
Adham says no, Jodha is not wrong, he remembers how Shariffuden told him that Benazir is poisonous, he says to Benazir that I also got to know that Well in which you fell in, became poisonous, Jalal got to know about it and asked me to investigate it. She says so you are here to capture me, Adham says no, the person who is on my side, I don’t kill or capture them.
Benazir ask the meaning? He says kill Jalal as soon as possible and if needed, take my help, he says beware of my mother though, she wants me to become a King, but she can’t see Jalal hurt and loves him, so be careful. She ask the reason for his support? He says I will tell you some other time, He says do your work ASAP, as Jodha won’t stay quiet for a long time.
Jodha says to Moti that I tried everything to get proof against Benazir, but I got nothing, Moti says believe in Kahna.
Jalal comes and greets her, he ask you didn’t taunt me today, he says I had put gifts in your room, as every Queen will give her gifts and I know you might not have gotten her gift, so I had got them for you, so all you need do is to give them to her. Jodha thinks I will not give gifts to that poisonous lady, she says I will not give it.
Jalal says I know you are jealous of her, not because of me, as you didn’t accept me as your husband, so why will you be jealous for me, you are jealous because a Servant is takng the place of a Queen, Jodha says it’s nothing like that. Jalal says remember we talked about the fact that your NO is actually your YES, so you will give her the gifts, he leaves, Jodha is tensed.
Maham and Ruqaiya sees them together, Ruqaiya says why does he always listens to Jodha? Maham says because their rooms are close to each other and Jalal have to cross her room to go outside, so they talk a lot, she suggests that you should do something to change her room.
In her room, Jodha is angry at Jalal that I am worried for him and he’s busy taunting! Ruqaiya comes and says as Jalal is marrying Benazir, she should be given one room, so I thought of giving your room, Jodha is stunned, she says empty this room fast and do come for the henna celebration tonight, she leaves.
Jodha says angrily that why are they all trying to put me so down, there are many rooms, but why is my room chosen to be given to her, what’s with the Mughals, they don’t care for their Queens?
Outside, Adham tells his soldiers about Benazir being poisonous, he says she will do our work and will kill Jalal but then, Abul Mali will try to get the throne, he ask the soldier that after Jalal is being killed, kill Abul Mali too.
Inside, Benazir tells Zakira that Adham wants me to kill Jalal too, she ask why? she says he has a lust for the throne and I am doing this for my love for Abul Mali, so we are on same boat.
Adham Kjan says to its soldiers that after Jalal’s death, kill Benazir and Abul Mali till then, nobody should know about it, Maham comes and ask what are you hiding? Adham says I was talking about Malwa’s war, Maham says to the soldiers that provide high security to Jalal, she leaves, Adham Khan says if she gets to know about Benazir, she will kill her, I will get the throne now!
In his room, Jalal looks at the arrow and says amazing, Jodha’s jealousy has taken her to a new level. Atgah comes and says we searched Benazir’s room and got one box, Jalal ask to open it.
There, Benazir is searching for same box in her room and says to Zakira that the box has medicine to kill the effect of the poison, but it’s in different form, so nobody will get to know it.
Here, Jalal sees the pearls and says these women loves jewelry, I thought to think about Jodha’s words once again, but nothing is proved.
Benazir says to Zakira that Jodha must have searched her room, as only she and Adham knows about it, but I removed everything from this room.
Jalal ask Atgah to place this box again in her room.
Ruqaiya comes to Jodha’s room and sees all things being packed, Jodha comes and says I have one request, this oil lamps is placed here from long time, please don’t disturb it, it will be burnt itself. Ruqaiya says this room will be given to Benazir and she may not like it, so I have to remove this oil lamps, she is about to throw it away, but Jodha stops her.
Ruqaiya says when the idol will not be here, then why this oil lamps? Jodha says it’s not just oil lamps, it represent the life of a family, it will be bad omen to remove it. Ruqaiya says I don’t know theses things.
