Friends, cool down! The episode wasn't so bad. Why be shocked by Ruq's behavior - she's always been like this only. 
Let's face it. If she wasn't bad, why would she be punished?

What good is a vamp who isn't bad, selfish, insensitive, apathetic, disgusting and repulsive? I would say Lavina is doing a good job of being a vamp since she has succeeded in making us Hate her so much and wishing to see her nemesis.
*********************************************************************************
As we thought on Wednesday, Dadisa and Bharmal want to take Jodha and Hussein to Amer to protect him from Maham's curse. They are shocked to learn that Hussein has been given away to Ruqaiyya.
Qasim, who is privy to this discussion, informs Zeenat that Hussein may soon be sent away.
Zeenat realizes that she has to buy time to be able to finish off her work of killing Hussein. She brainwashes Ruqaiya that the Ameris will take away Hussein to Amer on the pretext of nurturing him. There they would spread the news that Hussein was Jodha's son and Jodha had given him to Ruqaiyya as charity. She further insinuates that the Ameris would ultimately hand Hussein back to Jodha and Ruqaiyya would be left empty-handed. Zeenat urges Ruqaiyya to be careful so as not to lose Hussein.
Ruqaiyya is easily influenced by anyone and this time is no exception. Her own fear of losing her audha by losing Hussein to Jodha makes her succumb to Zeenat's brainwashing easily.
Ruqaiyya is summoned to the meeting by Jalal. She is mentally prepared to refuse to hand over Hussein.
When dadisa comes forward to bless the child, Ruqaiyya flinches back. She "doesn't want / trust anyone to touch Hussein". She clearly states that she doesn't trust the Ameris (or anyone for that matter). She declares stubbornly that she would not allow anyone to take Hussein out of even her hojra and walks out.
Jalal is downcast throughout the meeting, weighed down by his own grief and his concern for the emotionally broken Jodha. He is barely able to mumble that the Ameris had come to visit their grandson and Ruqaiyya must allow them to hold the baby. He is brushed off like a speck of dirt by a rude (not haughty) Ruqaiyya, who is impervious to the humiliation she is causing Jalal in front of those assembled as well as the disrespect she is showing to the royal guests, much senior to her in age and rank. The shocking bit here is that the senior royal ladies just stand quietly, mutely witnessing this shameful scene, without a word to Ruqaiyya. Such tolerance may be fine within the family, but didn't Hamida and co think of Jalal's and the Mughal Sultanat's honor in front of the Ameris?
Jalal is unable to even apologize to Raja Bharmal and his mother, so shamed is he. They leave, clearly feeling hurt, insulted and disgusted by the proceedings.

Later, Ruqaiyya appoints a small brigade of bandis and khwaja sheras to guard Hussein, which becomes a point of mockery with the servants who snigger at her growing obsession with Hussein's safety and well-being.
Ruqaiyya leaves Hussein in Zeenat's and Hoshiyar's care while going for a bath. Zeenat sends Hoshiyar out on a pretext so that she can do her job easily. Why she waited all these days while she had easier access to Hussein and the poison readily with her is something I don't understand. Was she enjoying the comforts of Agra for as long as she could before heading back home?
Meanwhile Jodha is in a daze. She is constantly flooded by images of Mahamanga cursing her children and laughing at her. She feels extremely restless and anxious for Hussein's life.
Jalal sees her condition and suggests that they go out in the garden for some fresh air. It's the one saving grace of the episodes these days that Jalal takes extremely good care of Jodha, who is emotionally devastated, physically wearied and mentally living in her own world full of punishing thoughts. In the garden, Jodha again gets a premonition that Hussein is in danger. She urges Jalal to go and take a look at him.
Jalal goes to Ruqaiyya's hojra to check on Hussein, just as Zeenat is about to make Hussein lick the poison. There, the episode ends on a suspenseful note, as Jalal and Zeenat exchange looks.
Precap:
Ruq blames Jodha for her carelessness in losing Hasan and says that she will not allow anyone to touch her Hussein. Jalal raises his hand to stop her from saying anything against Jodha.
Ruqaiyya starts choking. Jalal catches hold of her and calls for a hakima.
What Next:
Zeenat would likely succeed in poisoning Hussein and Ruqaiyya would blame Jodha for Hussein's death. Jalal may suspect Zeenat, remembering that she had been putting her finger in Hussein's mouth, as he entered Ruqaiyya's hojra.
Jodha may be further driven to suicidal depression by Hussein's death.
