Bakshi bano(Jalal’s sister) comes to Agra with the news that she lost her husband, Ibrahim. She is crying so badly that Jalal says from today henceforth, she will be staying here with Ruqayia and she leaves. Jalal says it is really sad, as Ibrahim was too young to die and wonders how she would survive without him? Maham Agna evilly thinks that if Adham Khan marries Bakshi, then Jalal will be indebted to them and relations will be formed between them and he will bow down to her forever. Jalal ask for a leave and Maham Agna says the decision should be in favour of Adham Khan. She will make sure this happens!

Ruqayia keeps taunting her that she’s a clever player and Maham Agna says what does she wants to say?

Sujamal is disscussing war strategies with Jalal’s Men and he says they have to work hard, and to increase their force to attack Amer. Jalal’s Man says (thinks) that Sujamal dreams about being Amer’s King, but this belongs to their King, Jalal only!
Malwa’s King is very cruel and Jalal says he will go there. Maham Agna stops him and tells him to send forces. Jalal ask under who?Maham Agna ask him to just send the forces, but Jalal ask that after Uncle Khan, whom to trust? Maham Agna says Adham Khan… Maham Agna says not because he is her Son, but he is warrior. Jalal agrees and announces Adham Khan as the man that would lead the forces.
Maham Agna informs Adham Khan about the Malwa’s King, but he is reluctant to go and Maham says she will talk about Bakshi after this. Jeveeda(Adham Khan’s wife) comes and praises Maham Agna and keeps talking. Maham Agna makes him see the green garden that’s full of fruits.
Jodha is doing prayer at temple. Shaguni (the Priestess that forsees her future) comes and Jodha’s mother goes to her, she warns her again about Jodha’s fate but Jodha’s mother is confident over Suryabaan being the rightful one for Jodha.

He remembers his last words and cries badly on the floor.

Jalal is offering prayers and asks God to fulfill Bairam Khan’s last wish: he becoming the Indian greatest King.
On the other hand, Jodha also prays to the goddess.
The festivities have started at Jodha’s place and Bharmal is ordering people around for distributing cards. Everyone is offering sweets to Jodha and the brothers tease Jodha. Bharmal comes with the card and shows it to everyone.
The Mughals were proceeding towards Amer. Bharmal announces to start the preparation for the war. Someone informs them that Sujamal is on Mughal’s side. The Rajputs decide to kill Sujamal if they find him. Jodha is furious at Sujamal’s act. Jodha’s Sister-in-law comes and ask to get ready for Jauhar (the act of mass self-immolation by women in parts of the Indian subcontinent, to avoid capture, enslavement and rape by foreign invaders, when facing certain defeat during a war). Jodha says that her 4 brothers will defeat the Mughals.
The Rajputs get ready for the war, the ladies put tilak (a sectarial mark on the forehead) and aarti (Prayer).
Bharmal gets a reality check as his troop is less in comparison with the Mughals and thinks that he has to do something about it.
Sujamal and one of the brothers come face to face in the battle. Shareefuddin also joins in with another platoon. Bhanpur Sena also joins in. Sujamal notices Suryabhan and tells Sharifuddin, who comes to know that Suryabhan is getting married to Jodha.
At dusk, Sujamal asks Sharifuddin not to kill Suryabhan but Sharifuddin gives him two options–either he kills Suryabhan or forget Amer’s throne!
Jodha’s mother is preparing herself for the idea of Jauhar, lightning and thunder strike and she says that looks like Shaguni’s word is coming true. She hands a potion of poison to Jodha and asks her to prepare herself too.
Amer group is preparing for the war that is happening on the following day and ask to increase the fighter. Suryabhan comes and says that isn’t needed, as he alone can fight and he has one aim – to crush all of them and ask how he got to the field so fast and he says he knows the shortcuts of the Mewat. They say the Mughals are much greater in number, but Suryabhan says they have high spirit which is needed against their huge force and they fight to save the King’s order, for their land and shows them all the strategy that he has planned.
In Amer, all the women are happy to know that Suryabhan is taking part in the war against the Mughals. Jodha is happy and her Mother says he found a new Son in Suryabhan, as she has lost Sujamal. Jodha says and the best part is that, he hates the Mughals as much as she does. Grandmother tells them to go and sleep, that they will do the prayer the following day. Jodha says they are going to win this war, as Suryabhan is with them as well now.
In the morning, they are all set to start the war. Mughal vs Suryabhan and co. The War starts and killing is in full swing. Sujamal sees Suryabhan and prays to protect him and says he can’t kill his Sister’s fiance. Suryaban comes to Sujamal and says how nasty warrior he is! Sujamal says he can’t attack his Sister’s fiance but Suryabhan retorts that he is Jodha’s brother but betrayed their land, so he can’t spare him! They start fighting with swords and Suryabhan lost his grip.
Here in Amer, all are doing the prayers and Kodha says this flower is not for prayer so they should go and bring the other one. Moti says they are not allowed to go outside, so she should kindly offer the prayer with this flower. Jodha says her heart is not ready, as this prayer is very important.
Sujamal has his sword on the neck of Suryabhan. Suryabhan ask why he stopped at killing him, but Sujamal doesn’t budge and he remembers his promise to Jodha to attend her wedding. Suryabhan gets up and suddenly, the sword passes to his body from the back and he sulks and Sujamal remembers Jodha again. Suryabhan looks back and sees the Mughal leader laughing. He tells Sujamal this was his work but he didn’t complete it, so He had to. He asks if Sujamal doesn’t want Amer’s throne now? Sujamal gets back to fight and again, the Mughal attacks Suryabhan and hit him on the head, separating it from his body. Suryabhan is announced dead.
Voiceover – the Mughals attacks from the back while the Rajput fights with pride from the front. Sujamal comes and cries and says he can’t see Jodha ever again, as he is the Criminal. All the 4 brothers are shocked to see Suryabhan dead without his head and they all cry. The Mughals take Sujamal away saying he is not safe here.
The oil lamps in Amer is getting off one after the other and Kodha comes and tries to safe the lit. She says she will not let darkness come into Amer. Grandmother comes and Jodha is tensed, as the breeze is high and tells the same to Grandma who says nothing bad will happen, so she shouldn’t worry about a thing. Her Mother comes and says she has full trust in her Sons and Amer will remain, full of lights, and says Jodha is right. They pray, but the oil lamps falls away and they are all stunned.
Jalal is happy that Sharifudden attacked Amer just as he has always wanted. Maham Agna ask what lies in Amer that’s so special and tells him to think about India and not a single small state. But Jalal says there is something spacial there, and Maham Agna ask what? Jalal says that which is not in Agra, not even in the whole India, and he will get it anyways!
Sharifudden (Mughal’s leader in war) has 3 Rajput brothers that are being arrested. He ask thrm to bow down as they have lost, but they say they won’t, so he says he will separate their head from their bodies. They say as he wish, but Amer will be proud of them. They they see a head inside Suryabhan’s cloth. The Mughal throws that away and says they will crush their pride! They will all get to see what the Mughals are capable of!
