the aftermath of the Walima scandal pushes Mahid into his first major trial as Mufti, while Seher uncovers the treacherous “serpent” within the Niyazi household.
The Mufti’s First Verdict
The episode opens with Mahid standing before the agitated crowd and the village elders. Despite the chaos, he maintains a calm, authoritative demeanor. He promises the victims that he will not only provide for their medical expenses but will also personally find the culprit. Dada Huzur watches from the balcony, realizing that Mahid’s transition from a carefree young man to a responsible Mufti is officially complete.
Husnara’s Trap
In a desperate move to save her own skin, Husnara sneaks into Seher’s room with a small vial of the pesticide used to contaminate the rice. Her plan is to hide it among Seher’s personal belongings and then “find” it during a search. However, as she is about to place the bottle, she hears someone approaching and hides behind the heavy velvet curtains.
Seher’s Discovery
Seher enters the room, but she isn’t alone. She has brought a local worker who was present during the rice packing. The worker reveals that he saw a woman wearing a specific ruby-encrusted ring handling the charity bags. Seher freezes—she knows that ring belongs to Husnara. From behind the curtain, Husnara realizes her secret is out, and in her panic, she drops the pesticide vial.
The Climax: The Confrontation
The episode ends with the sound of glass shattering. Seher pulls back the curtain to find a trembling Husnara. Before Husnara can spin a new lie, Mahid enters the room, having heard the commotion. He looks at the broken vial, then at his sister-in-law, and finally at Seher. The final shot is of Mahid picking up a shard of the glass, his eyes cold with the weight of his new office, as he prepares to deliver justice to his own family.
