So I was right about the precap last time. Alexander had been scouting. Was this the first time Alexander was riding without a helmet but with his armor on?

Jhelum crossing solution dhoondte dhoondte Alexander ki daadi badh gayi. 😆 Props to Rohit for going the extra mile and coloring his beard too - he looked fab and I suspect he won't be clean shaven anymore on the show. I like this more mature-looking Alexander, though I must say there was a bit of weariness in his eyes, probably from spending all this time searching with his troops.

I loved the way Alexander was encouraging his horse, bechaara shaheed ho gaya. I missed Bucephalus. 😭

Seleucus' eyes were full of admiration for Alexander. Maybe I was wrong about him betraying Alexander or killing him.

Jhelum maa couldn't help praising Alexander's determination to find a way and said even muqaddar admitted defeat. Ouf, my hopes are increasing of seeing Alexander win the battle, but who knows? The voiceover was well done today. I loved Alexander's dialogues today - will put them in the quotes thread for sure.

Hephaestion ko maafi mil gayi hai kya? Didn't Alexander punish him saying he would not participate in any battle? 😆 Aaj to wo phir se tayyaar tha Alexander ko paani se rescue karne ke liye agar zaroorat padh gayi to.

Ugh, what's the point of a surprise attack if Porus (as usual) discovers Alexander coming? Also, why did Dhananand not stop Porus from going to the uttar side to scout the area if he knew Alexander was approaching from that direction with his men?

So does Dhananand want to attack Alexander before Porus can and kill him so that he can take credit? Or does he want to stay out of the war completely and let Porus suffer losses? He doesn't seem to be on anyone's side so I don't think he'll help Alexander at all. He just wants to be famous in history. 😆

And yes, I hope we get stormy night battle. Maybe Porus will expect Alexander to wait until after the rains stop but will be caught by surprise, although in real life he didn't know that Alexander had already crossed the river, right? What happened to his vachan of preventing Alexander from crossing?
