Mihrimah threat Sylivia that return to her homeland because its better for her.
Sumbul agha informs Hurrem that everything is under control in Shah sultan's palace.
Hurrem learns what Mihrimah has done and makes a plan to convince Mihrimah
to marry Rustem . Hürrem invites Bali bey in Mermer mansion and asks why he
does not want her daughter. Bali bey says he "sees" Mihrimah sultan as she is a little child. Hurrem's aim succeeds, since Mihrimah being in the next room, listens to
their conversation and tears. Suleiman and Hurrem are talking about the mosque..Mihrimah is going to her
father's room and Mimar sinan the architect sees mihrimah & finds her beautiful for him.. Mihrimah announces to her father disappointed that if he approves her marriage with
Rustem, she herself has no objection. Mihrimah full of sadness looks at the
mother, who can not hold back her joy from what she heard..
The whole family is gathered having dinner. Sultan asks khazeena if she is happy in her new palace. She replies that she has no complains. Mihrimah tells Bali Bey
that she is going to marry Rustem and he is shocked. She tells also that she
considers him responsible for her wounded heart and she leaves entering her
father's room. Suleiman welcomes her, saying that she is the light of his life.
When he announces her wedding with Rustem, Shah and khazeena are surprised.
Rustem gets a letter from Hurrem and while he is reading it, smiles satisfied & remembers his past. He
remembers how he suffered as a kid, that he was the son of a Croatian
swineherd and orphaned by mother....that, as they leaded them in Adrianople,
many children died...that he was never afraid and the meaning of his name
"Rustem" is "brave".
He calls Nigar and reminds her that their marriage was not his own wish. Nigar wonders why he tells so and Rustem shows her Hurrem's
letter. He says that, at one time she laughed on him, saying that it's a dream his
thought of the marriage with Mihrimah. Rustem says three times the word
"DIVORCE" to nigar and says she is free from now on. In the Council, Suleiman is informed that
the plague has almost been eliminated and that Sheikh Mashuki continues to ignore
his orders and continues to curses. Sumbul tells Hurrem that Mihrimah refused to
choose fabrics for dresses and Hurrem says she will undertake it. When Afifa khatun says
there is no rush for marriage, Hurrem says that she wants to be held as soon as
possible, at the same time with the circumcision ceremony of princes Beyazit
and jahangir. Khazeena says ironically to Shah, that it is not enough that she managed
her husband to become a grand Vizier, but she must try to keep him in this position.
When Shah says that the marriage hasn't been held yet, khazeena says that, the only possibility not to be held the marriage is if Rustem dies. .
