Aunty...such an entertaining... beautiful witty post this was - enjoyed reading it thoroughly..as it is, episodes from Tuesday onwards didn't really require anything beyond a sardonic take on them...apart from Jodha Bai there isn't much to ponder on for the past 3 days...
Anyway, as for your following two paragraphs, looks like your wishes might be fulfilled (though possibly not in the manner that you would have like to have witnessed them being fulfilled - well, definitely not in the manner that I'd like to witness them being fulfilled!)
It would do her(Jodha) a lot of good to fall helplessly in love, and have to try and win over the object of her affections. I hope this happens, in the sense that she discovers she is in love with Jalal before he discovers that he is in love with her. It is not impossible, for he will, for quite a while, interpret his soft corner for her as due to the kinship of ek hi kashti mein sawaar hone ki. Let us see!
It is not that I have anything against the high romantic, it is just that I prefer Jane Austen to Mills & Boon. So, I was greatly relieved by this indication in the precap that Jalal is not about to be transformed by his near death experience into a lovelorn Majnu, and will be back to his disputatious ways with his Begum Jodha as soon as he is rubaru with her (or as she would put it, sakshatkaar). Now that will be something to look forward to!!
Future prediction for episode is thus - by khabroo (inside sources, apparently)
Jalal will play a game of love with jodha
Jodhaa will too respond, but very slowly
When jodhaa eventually responds jalal will make fun of it
Jodhaa will be broken hearted when she learns of this, she will do something bad to herself
Hamida will interfere and jalal will eventually realise his mistake but in the quest to rectify his
mistake he will really fall for her
but Jodhaa will then take a long time to truly respond and when she responds it will be their SR nite
I should possibly wave 'bye-bye' to any remaining logic in the serial which shall only mean me waving 'bye-bye' to the serial as a whole...
