Short and sweet update today - like it 😆Episode was HAPPENING and HOW!! I so wish you had the time to make one of your long, detailed posts on it - it was that kinda epi. Still, no complaints 😛1. Ruq is being punished by CVs by being made to work like a bandi. This is their idea of punishing her for her crimes? Weird!It seems as I have been telling you - that they are just refurbishing her image and bringing her down to tolerable limits of vampness. Today's epi proved this.She was shouted at by Jo and kept quiet. Didn't throw much of a tantrum even in her tent. Listened to Jo explaining why she shouted at Ruq and actually understood and apologized to Jo for MUing her. And agreed with Akbar that she had been wrong about Jo. Phew!!2. There is no difference between badshahi and padshahi. The former is Arabic and the latter Persian.I also don't like Ruq but I think too much is being read into her scene today. It was typical Ruq talk - she always keeps calling herself padshahi begum, which irritates me too. But it is typically Ruq now. And she has always been maintaining right from the start of the show that she is superior to Jalal and even in the beginning, when Smiley was playing Ruq, she would say that Jalal will have to wait for her while she finished her harem duties.I don't really get it - how was it ok for Ruq then but not now to talk like that?Like someone here said, Ruq is almost always shown behaving like a tantrum throwing toddler. And AkDha are mature enough to know that she needs "handling" and they do that in a calm manner. It's ok if Jo says sorry to her in such a situation to "manaofy" her. As parents, don't we apologize to our sullen kids? It doesn't make us small.!The three are a family and they can easily apologize to each other.Such scenes have played before many times and I simply ignore them. I am interested to know if Ruq will be punished for the crimes she committed. That is not happening. :(3. Liked Salim's scenes today.The scene with Aram Bano was cute. :)The way he mobilized soldiers and strategized war tactics was shown well. Now that MS has been proved not guilty, and Salim has sought Bhagwan Das' support, so the war is going as per history - MS and BD fighting MH for Mughals.Akbar plans to join the war at Thaneswar - so all those who were disappointed that Akbar was away from Agra and may miss the war will be happy. :) Though the track record shows that wars are over even before they begin - so we may not see any actual fighting.Also liked Salim's exhortation to the women doing arti of the soldiers not to lower the morale of the soldiers by talking of defeat and death by consuming poison.4. Finally there's one track in which AkDha are solving some problem together like equals, instead of one doing everything and the other looking totally clueless.Only wish they would use more common sense. How simple is it that they question JD and expect him to confess to everything?In the prasad scene, Akbar was not only being jealous because JD was trying to get close to Jo. He was also being suspicious and keeping an eye on JD to see his reactions.Seems from the precap that the angel / God will lead Akbar to the godown where the royal rations are being hoarded.Wish Akbar had been able to crack the case with Jo. But this is also fine. God helping Akbar - this will confirm Akbar's faith in God - that God is always with us in good times and bad.5. It seems that God has become benevolent towards Akbar - He is appearing in front of Akbar almost in every episode. The precap scene is sweet though and fruitful too for Akbar.If Akbar discovers JD's hand in the grains scam, then on Friday, Jo may be kidnapped. And we will stay in suspense over the weekend, wondering how Akbar will release her.6. MS' spy finally reaches Akbar and informs him of everything except the crucial bit - Shah Mansoor's name.Though I think he said Shah. Will Akbar be able to guess from this that it is Shah Mansoor who is helping MH from inside the palace?It was filmy though the way the stabbed spy managed to reach Akbar and blurt out everything before dying.7. Liked Akbar Birbal scene. And how Birbal managed to impress Akbar with the waliahad's exploits.JD's men are keeping an eye on Akbar, it seems.8. Comic scenes were again childish.Overall, a great deal happened in today's episode. 😊 It was fantastic! 👏
