İbrahim secretly meets Mustafa in Bursa to stop his marriage plans, but Süleyman discovers the deception and grows increasingly suspicious. Hürrem uses this tension to deepen the rift between them, turning their rivalry into open war. Mihrimah and Taşlıcalı are caught during a forbidden meeting, while Nigar attempts to flee with her daughter but is pursued by İbrahim, Matrakçı, and Rüstem. As Mustafa makes his final decision about Helena, every thread—İbrahim’s secret meeting, Hürrem’s schemes, and Nigar’s escape—races toward a breaking point.
