1. Jalaal thinking Jodha to be Ruqqu and demanding a head-massage. Good part? Jodha not groaning and growling like a rhinoceros - Ye kya anuchit maang hai Shahenshah?. Instead , she goes a step further , gets a bowl of oil and loving;y massages his head. A big leap from the hammer-massage she used to give Jalaal in Amer.
2. Jalaal feeling comforted by Jodha's touch and reminding her that she has such soft hands , they are not made for massaging. Its a good peek into the past - Jalaal's fixation with Jodha's hands. There is no intentional sarcasm or darkness to rile up Jodha. He says it genuinely and she smiles, getting into a chit-chat with him. Congratulations! JJ learned the two essential words - CIVILIZED BEHAVIOUR.
3. Ruqqu swallowing her pride and admitting her mistake immediately. From a raging bull in a china shop , to strawberry shortcake! She is apologetic to Jalaal as well in her demenour on realizing her mistake. She goes running to Jodha like a supersonic jet. RARE peek of Ruqqu's true character underneath her Mallika-E-Ghaasphoos disorder- " Hum jinhe chaahte hain, dil aur jaan se chaahte hainn aur agai nahiin , toh unkee khoob bajaate hainn."
4. The best moment of the day - Ruqqu's and Jodha's interaction. Jodha has won Ruqqu over with her compassion and purity , even if it lasts a few days. Ruqqu's thank-you speech and her gift may not have had the required sentiment but they were honest. Ruqqu couldn't understand that just why should sentiment make anyone cry when Jodha ties her a 'rakhi' and gets emotional. But she understood where Jodha was coming from. Not best friends or sisters - but a mutual respect was borne here. And Ruqqu said something that i exercise in my own life too ( and no, am not as conceited as her) - If you take care of me, I will take care of you for life. Simple give -and-take , contrary to Jodha's selflessness. But its ok. Good with a shade of grey is fun, if not recommended.
5. Jodha singing praises of Shahenshah in front of Hameeda Bano and giving all credit to him for issuing the anti-child marriage law. Hameeda could see a flash of the future - Jodha can fall in ,love with Jalaal hook, line and sinker , if she willing to risk her heart. Awww... Cutie! Lord Krishna looked the best though - i love that idol of HIS! God looks so gorgeous in there.
6. Jodha being a shoulder-to-cry -on for Bakshee Bano. It takes some real clean heart to forgive someone who has done such evil to you. But Jodha did go that extra mile for Bakshee. I don't approve of it but i surely applaud how clean Jodha is on the inside!

7. MaahamAnga!... Simmer.. simmer... simmer... boil... boil... boil... witch-in-white... when the sun goes down, you shall explode and burst the night!... Maaham is a wounded tigress right now and if she has promised' 'khoon ke aansu' to Jodha... its gonna happen! And no, that time, Jodha will not be prepared. It may not happen today, tomorrow... but when it does, Jodha will need all the prayers. Baazi bicch chuki hai... abb chaal chalnaa baaki hai. Kya yaar! Ye villain log bhi na! Ittna saara potassium cyanide laate kahaan se hainn?
8. Leechhadd! Tharkee! Kameena! Gandi baat waala gandaa aadmi!...Cheapuddin is still after Jodha! And i am sure he is not going to rest until he gets within 1.5 inches of her!... Its a carnal obsession as we can see. He just wants to obtain, possess and devour her. And yes, that craving seems to be bigger than his fear for Jalaal.. Watch it, Jalaal! Aaj teri biwi ki painting par buri nazar hai. Kal kya hogaa?
9. Bakshi's blind 'mohabbat' and 'rishta' with Cheapuddin. That cringeworthy moment when i wanted to slap her across her face but realized that my TV is 10 times more expensive than her blood-sucked turkey face!
10. Ruqqu's jealousy. Enough said.
P.S- What a Syaapa in the precap!... Jodha 'thank you' note likkh rahee hai aur Jalaal bechaara wahaan 'Come to me' sunne waala hai!... Thanks to Maaham, Jodha khoon ke aaansu bahaaye ya na bahaaye, Jalaal ke wine glass mein beh jaane ke poore poore chance hainn. Jodha kahegi - " Dhanyawaad kahaa tha, aap toh consolation gift lenne aa gaye". Jalaal will give her a Jalaad look and say - " Agar uss paigaam ka matlab 'thank you' hotaa hai, toh kya haraz hai agar hum aapke khwaabgah meinn raat ke liyye shift honne aa gaye?"đ¤Ł
