Mehmed: Sultan of Conquests

While campaigning against Karaman, Mehmed invites Evrenesoğlu Ali to handle potential issues in the capital, appointing him as the palace trustee. Çandarlı, remaining in the capital, plots to place Ahmed on the throne by manipulating Gülşah, facing obstacles from Halime who also aims to make Ahmed sultan. Konstantinos makes a risky offer to increase Orhan's allocation to quell discontent about Orhan's expenses, awaiting Mehmed's response. Kurtçu, following Çandarlı's orders, plans to intercept Mehmed and challenge him to pass under swords, risking conflict with the Janissaries. The unfolding events create a tense atmosphere, with Mehmed's decisions and responses critically shaping the outcomes.
