Saladin captures Mawdud and nearly confronts Bernard, but Bernard escapes. Saladin tries to stop Dolat by making Mawdud confess his crimes, but Dolat dismisses the confession and demands war. As tensions rise, Karategin arrives with Gerard, providing evidence that Bernard killed Iltutmish. This revelation redirects Dolat's anger toward Bernard, neutralizing him as a threat for the moment. Saladin and Nureddin then head toward Gaza. Victoria, anticipating Dolat's hostility, gives Gaza to Dolat, making him Saladin's enemy once more. Key questions now are whether Dolat will exact revenge on Bernard, how Bernard will reclaim Gaza, what Nureddin will do with Mawdud, and whether Saladin can overcome Bernard's schemes and conquer Gaza.
