I had a feeling bayindurs tawba was coming because he seemed to be taking his fasting in Ramadan seriously lol. I had a moment two episodes ago when he was tied up behind a tree trying to get the ropes off his hand, where I thought “really you’re gonna kill these alps but your fasting?” Lol only to see he just put them to sleep. Which made sense to me.

The scene stayed with me because I kept thinking this guy is odd. His treacherous and greedy but the only villain I see fasting lol

Anyways when ismihan lost the plot and allied with nayman not caring about all those ppl who would die, I felt like she’s finished, she can’t come back from this. It’s the plot that exposed her to bayindur, her trying to massacre and burn 🔥Osmans city & mansion down with even kids in it.

Bayindur didn’t seem comfortable with this plan and I wasn’t surprised when he freed them.
I’d love to see ismihan get her up commence and Bengi hatun should go down with her. She’s a disgusting power hungry fool.

Aktemur is bey but she’s still scheming. She’s holding her tribe back at this point. After everything that’s happened she sides with ismihan because both of them are jealous of osmans substance and influence.

That scene when she prods her daughter to make sure she partakes in the soup kitchen and is active enough so ppl can’t really tell who is leading it. Made me feel sorry for alcichek. What a toxic insecure mother she has.

I think her downfall is going to come from Esma, who overheard her plan to ruin osmans coins. This would be the perfect way to expose her. Esma was very disturbed which shows her tawba for what she did to orhan is pure. I hope she tells malhun, who gave her a second chance.

Lastly, I think Nayman admires osman so much he fantasises about controlling him and getting him on side. This aspect of Nayman dims the part where he is suppose to be seen as a powerful mongol commander. His emotionally low-key dependant and crushing on osman lol which makes me view all his threats as just hollow words. It’s not believable to me at all.
