The Royal Muslim physician reaches Agra, and he’s taken to Jalal. He asks for the medicines that was applied on Jalal? Jodha comes running there.
The Royal Muslim physician says that only one person knows about this medicine and that’s Jodha. He tells about how she learnt this medicine, and that the high temperature will cure him. After some moments, Jalal opened his eyes. The Royal Muslim physician says that Jalal is safe. Jalal gestured at something when Jodha says that he can’t have water. Ruqaiya scolds her, but the Royal Muslim physician says that Jodha is right.
Hamida bano prays to God and everyone says AMEN in chorus.
The news about Jalal’s getting well, spread across the Palace.
Jodha lights an oil lamp in front of Kanhaji/lord. Hamida bano comes and gifts Quran to Jodha on her return from Ajmer. She gets a flashback of how Jalal taught her to pray at Dargah/Islamic Shrine and raises her hand. Hamida and Moti get surprised. Jodha tells Hamida bano about her experiences in Ajmer and tells her about Jalal too. She is lost in thoughts.
Hamida bano tells that Jalal is getting well, which is being celebrated and the Poor are being given alms, so she asks Jodha to come with her to see the happenings.
The people are wishing Jalal well(quick recovery). Maham Anga is miffed at the proceedings. Jodha also gives away her bangles. Hamida bano asks if she prayed for the King, but Jodha replied that she prayed for a Son, brother and a person who saved her from the tiger.
Ruqaiya also comes and tells Maham Anga that the entire Kingdom is praying for Jalal and leaves. Maham Anga thinks that she can’t become the Empress!
Rahim meets Jodha and asks her to tell him the story of the King and the tiger. She tells him the same with all the emotions and then, he carries fruits to Jalal. He tells Jalal that Jodha has sent the fruits, and makes him take one bite of apple and leaves.
Ruqaiya tells Jalal that she punished Jodha for her folly, as she slapped her. Jalal says that her blunder/Sin is too big for such a small punishment, though he implied something else. But Ruqaiya as usual, didn’t get the import/expression.
Javeda is serving wine to Adham Khan. Adham Khan takes the wrong name of a girl instead of hers (Javeda), and he says it does not matter and that he loves her a lot and gifts her a diamond necklace.
Adham Khan snubs Javeda when Shariffudden comes and informs him that Jalal is safe. Adham Khan gets furious at the defeat of his men and Shariffudden tells him that Jodha saved Jalal. They both wonder when they will take revenge and till then, bid their time.
Jodha is sitting silently when Ruqaiya comes, and passes some snide comments. She says that her slaps did not leave any mark! Jodha tells her she can give some more if she wants. Ruqaiya took the remedy that saved Jalal and puts it on Jodha’s cheeks and tells that it will have a desired effect on her, as it did with Jalal!
Maham Anga tells Resham how easily Jodha got away from the blunder/Sin by just making medicine (remedy). She asks Resham if she wants to see Jodha as a mountain peak, and says that after Ajmer trip, Jalal has changed and Jodha -Jalal relationship is getting a different meaning. This is a very scary thought, but she can see that it’s happening very fast!
Moti sees Bharmal and tells Jodha, she wonders why and runs off to Jalal’s room. Bharmal greets Jalal and Maham Anga says that Sukanya’s marriage is fixed and it’s only possible due to Jalal. Jodha overhears that.
Jalal says that it will bring the two Kingdom together. Bharmal invites everyone to Amer for Suku’s wedding and Jodha-Jalal will perform all the rituals.
Ruqaiya comes to Jalal’s room. She asks the people to give them a privacy. Jalal tells her to blurt out the anger before putting medicine on him. Ruqaiya asks him 3 questions about Bharmal’s invitation and Sukanya’s marriage. Jalal answers her questions.
They both discuss and finally, Ruqaiya tells him that he’s not going to Amer! Jalal says that haq jataa ke haq chhen liya.
At the Court, Jalal tells Bharmal that he accepts his invitation. Hamida bano and Jodha are happy, while Maham Anga, Shariffudden and Adham Khan are surprised. Maham Anga tries to say something, but Jalal asks her to discuss the gifts with Hamida bano. Bharmal takes his leave, while Jodha looks at Jalal.
Maham Anga, Adham Khan and the Minister are discussing how to tell Jalal not to go to Amer. Jalal comes there and tries to prove his point. The Minister says that an army will accompany Jalal and Jalal says that he can do so, but he will definitely go to Amer! Maham Anga is exasperated.
Jalal is looking at his wounds in the mirror when Jodha comes there. They both have a face-off about Jalal saying his own wounds is leaving a mark. Jodha is furious about the army he’s taking to Amer. Both volley questions at each other, implying loaded meanings.
Jalal at his naughtiest evil best, riles Jodha up and finally, she leaves in anger. He talks to himself, as to why he didn’t ask her to put the remedy on him, but thinks that all this can be done in Amer too.
Maham Anga comes to Ruqaiya and informs her that Jalal has accepted Bharmal’s invitation. She asks her if she understands the intent behind all these actions? Ruqaiya again rubbishes everything.
Maham Anga tells Ruqaiya that Jalal is getting closer to Jodha and tells her to save her Queen/first lady title. Maham Anga asks Ruqaiya to prove if she really can rule Jalal’s mind!
Shariffudden and Adham Khan plot a scheme against Jalal and are happy that Amer will be tainted.
Ruqaiya comes to Jalal and asks why can’t he say No to going to Amer? Jalal says that he loves Jodha.
