Hi all,
I watched the episode today, but a major part in mute mode. I liked it, hence thought of making a short update, though i normally don't make "episode threads".
An update by Susan is already present. But, Just listing the major scenes. I missed the initial 3-4 minutes..
1. Episode starts with a scene where we have :
-> Bhagwan Das(BD) and his wife
-> Maan Bai
-> Jodha and Akbar
Man Singh has escaped from the custody of Akbar. Jalal was in anger, but he tells BD that he won't give the punishment of Man Singh to BD's daughter Maan Bai. He says -> "I still respect you Raja BD Ji, you and your father Raja BharMal have always demonstrated your loyalty to Mughal Sultanate."
So, the Jashan given in lieu of pre-wedding preparations of Salim and Man Bai will go on as planned earlier. Raja BD was to leave for Amer, hence this Jashan was being given.
BD says how can be participate in this celebration when his son Man Singh is missing and facing serious charges against him. Jalal, "smirkingly" reminds him that he has to see whether he wants to do - Think about his "rebel" son or a his "innocent" daughter. Jodha assures Jalal that BD will come in Jashan..
2. Next, There is a good scene involving Jodha - Aram Bano - Daniyal - Murad - Shakrunissa(?). They try to "play" with Jodha by making her "jealous" . They all mention that Akbar loves/likes/kisses someone whose name is "Gulaab Pari", or "Rose-like-Angel" in English. She gets jealous and orders them to bring this "Gulaab Pari" to her. She happens to be a Mare(Female Horse). All of them burst in laughter. In this scene all this kids address her as "Ammi Jaan".
3. Next scene we have a Jashan. Anarkali is dancing. Salim sits quietly. All are watching the dance. Side by side Mansoor is forcibly evicting and attacking the villagers. A storm comes, and the pillars began falling o'er Jalal in the Jashan, as Mansoor attacks the villagers. :-P We are shown FB's of Jodha's dreams.
Overall it was a welcome change. In this track, Jodha is trying to be in sync with Jalal's decisions.
Hope they dont rush in this track. And proceed sensibly...There was no Ruqs in the episode..And no scheming by her...
There will be some political developments too. Mansoor has to be exposed. Man Singh will expose him. There has to be a revolt against Jalal and many more things.

I just hope they proceed at a mild pace. Give it a try..!
