So , in essence , the entire episode was about Alpagu's emotional reaction to Batuga's secret , Batuga's sentencing , his ensuing rage , and his escape plan . Up until the escape , it was a fairly " mild " so - so episode . 

Kaya , now Yagbu , coerces the Council members into voting for Batuga's execution , claiming that those who favour a traitor's release will be denied access to the Silk Road . He is terrified of Batuga's intellect and the possibility of him becoming Han . Kaya is all about power , as we all know . 

Hell , maybe Kiricek will become his second wife ? Who knows . I loved Gunseli's fervent defence of Batuga . You could tell she was secretly proud of him . Likewise , I thought Temur's chastisement of her was apt . Her anger has been directed towards other women , when it should have been channeled towards Kaya ; he has betrayed her after all .

• Batuga's Plan Batuga asks Alpagu for a favour during his execution . He would like Akkiz to be present during the event leading her to temporarily leave the dungeons . 

• Saltuk disobeys the Han just as Batuga's throat is about to be slashed by the executioner . Temur , Saltuk , Batuga attack everyone in the room , with Akkiz catching on and joining . Batuga manages to catch Alpagu off guard and holds a sword to his throat . Batuga's final words to Alpagu is vowing to be his mortal enemy . 

Loved this !!! They use Kaya as collateral , allowing them to successfully exit the palace via the secret passageways . Alpagu follows Batuga through the tunnels which he realises have been opened , and he examines Batuga's drawings on the walls , which show his intelligence and emotions in the face of adversity . 

Kaya is knocked unconscious , and the rest of the team flees with him in tow , going into hiding . 

• Colpan and Balamir are pleasantly proud of Batuga when they learn of his escape from Gok . I liked this scene . It's as though it suddenly occurred to me that he's both of their nephews .

• Batuga shouts at Alpagu . Alpagu has failed his son yet again . Alpagu told Batuga he could have confided in him about his secret , and as his father , Alpagu could have kept it hidden . Alpagu states that he's begged many times to his " mindless " son to speak . Batuga then says that he had no idea when Alpagu would choose to be a Han versus a father . The two roles are not segregated . 

This was a rather sorrowful encounter to listen in on . Alpagu is a Han , and I can't believe he's made the same mistake twice . What good is that power of his ? This was such a pivotal turning point . Many members of his family have broken Toreh laws , so the rapid judgement was disappointing ( once again ) . I'm not sure how Batuga will ever find the strength to forgive him . On Alpagu's deathbed , perhaps ? 

• Kiricek and Batuga's scenes are JUST !! I love ! I understand she's self serving , and her knowledge of his lack of " condition " is what leads her to treat him as an equal , but something about their interactions appeals to me . I'm in the minority , but it's giving enemies to lovers ( except there will be no lovers lol ) . 

I really believe she could grow to care for him and vice versa beyond the power dynamics . I honestly don't mind Akkiz - Batuga so much anymore ; they're growing on me but it's still very much most loyal soldier for me .

EI Thoughts 

I wouldn't care much if Sirma dies but I'm pretty sure she'll survive . Kun Ata is with them after all . I don't even want to think about when Alpagu discovers Ulu Ece is the one who betrayed him . I think he'd just physically crumble away at his injustice . 

I also think showing Batuga practising fighting a few times shouldn't mean his swordsmanship is out of this world amazing . A few days of training ( even with greats like Akkiz and Saltuk ) will not overpower people who have been doing so for years . But I do think the dizi may exaggerate this .
