Someone really needs to tell that evil pentagon this.
Today's episode was a complete filler giving an idea about the oncoming tracks. We have Sushim brought down a peg to apologise to somebody beyond his title. Brat! Hope his broken ego hurts him but alas, his witchy mother assuages him and encourages him to fight for his rightful throne. Ashok Bindusar have fluffy moment. Too sweet. I will get diabetes đ
The terrible trio (Helena, Justin, Amartya Ugrasen) plan and plot...
Bindu gets this brilliant idea of sending Ashok for weaponry training, Rajkiya Vidyalay, he decides to send Ashok to. Poor Prime Minister Khallatak will blow his fuse one day. Every issue with Ashok and he is dragged in. He tries to rein in Bindu but Chanakya overrides him. I feel Khallatak's nightmares starr Ashok and Chanakya together.
Helena enters trying to exert influence but instead her cutting barbs are used by Chanakya to get the Samrat agree for Ashok to stay in the palace. Cool! Go Chanakya. đ
Then enters Chanakya's rival. Mahamatya Rakshas! Apparently he is villainous here as apart from real history. Well cv's masala actually.
He has got all the plans ready. What each will do, how Chanakya will react and how they will counter it.
Funnily enough his strategy makes sense. But one little stone displaced and the whole wall will clatter down. I have a feeling that this might go in two ways.
One Chanakya finds out about all these and weaves a web to trap them.
Or second, one unknown factor chips in. Ashok. He is altogether alone able to disable this whole planning. Like if he is sent to that Vidyalaya, the plan comes to an abrupt stop. Or if he remains, he might find out about all these, or even blamed but his heritage alone will puncture this plan.
P
Rakshas should have really tried to know Ashok as he knows Chanakya. One should know their enemies well after all.
Precap- Ashok gets to stay with Dharma and the plan is in motion. First phase; the water source for the common men is poisoned. True to our expectations, Ashok has already started to foil the plan by being about to drink that water. After all if he becomes victimized, the Fatichar Five (Nicator, Rakshas, Helena, Justin, Ugrasen) can't implicate him.
