Süleyman meets Hürrem after she has returned to the palace. Süleyman writes on a paper the name of his sons who will replace Mehmed as Sanjak Bey of Manisa (Traditionally the position of the future Sultan). He then invites all princes to the palace. Beyazid shows love to his family as giving a horse to Mihrimah and a jewel for Hürrem. Mustafa is worried about his fathers thoughts because he was accompanied to the palace by Janissaries. Mahidevran comes to the palace and argues with Hürrem while they're watching Cihangir's accolade ceremonial. He is quite shy and scared. Hürrem and Rüstem are com plotting against Mustafa. Mihrimah is supporting Beyazid for the throne.
A slave girl named Cecilia comes to the palace. She is the daughter of a Venetian nobleman but now she can't stand serving and taking a shower herself. Then, while trying to kill herself, Selim saves her and she falls in love with him. She wants to become a great Sultana by going with him at his Sanjak. She asks Hürrem but she refuses.
Süleyman announces his decision. Selim is chosen for Manisa Sanjak. Everyone is surprised. Mahidevran and Mustafa are worried. Also, Mustafa's concubine who is pregnant is worried about him.
Hurrem is searching for a good maid for Selim as Cecilia comes and asks Hürrem again about going with Selim. She tells her that she saw in the stars her destiny by Hürrem's hand. Hürrem accepts and now Cecilia is named Nurbanu.
Hayreddin Pasha tells Mustafa that if he is chased from his father's paradise, he shall build his own.
Hürrem send men to kill Mustafa on his way back to Amasya. His concubine dies with her child from the attack but Mustafa survives. He is secretly protected by someone.
Süleyman often talks with Ebussuud Efendi about the state.
Beyazid and Selim are always fighting as in Matrak, Horse-race, to become the favourite of their father.
Hürrem Sultan is sick. It is shown that she can't have children anymore. She is keeping it secret. Fatma Sultan, Sultan Süleyman's sister comes to the Palace with a special guest, Hatice Sultan's daughter, Huricihan Sultan.
