Maddy,
When Jo faints and is confirmed to be poisoned then it is established that Ben is a VK. Then the question arises how Zakira survived the milk test. There must be an antidote. So Zakira will be made to talk and in order to save her tiny little pran, she will spill the beans and the pearls will be used to save Jo.
The otherwise of late dumbed down brain of Jalal becomes active wrt Jo you see.
And well, Jo's halahal swaha is bound to happen too as too much has gone into the build up. Meera's reference, suraksha-kavach, wedding vachan that I will face my husband's problems first, Baadshah goes on knees for Mohabbat, I wont see your dying face... after all this the poison drinking looks a surety.
And yes, why should it be historically accurate? There is always the 'uchith natakiya roopanthar' clause to justify everything.
