  The fragile peace between the Ottoman Empire and the Ak Koyunlu shatters when Uzun Hasan takes the rebellious Karamanoglu Ishak under his protection. This move pushes both states to the brink of war, forcing Sultan Mehmed to temporarily set aside his grand campaign and ambitions regarding Rome to shift his focus eastward.
  
  
• Rum Mehmed Pasha’s Mission to Tabriz:
  To avert a devastating full-scale conflict, Rum Mehmed Pasha is dispatched on a critical, high-risk diplomatic mission to Tabriz. However, navigating the Ak Koyunlu court proves treacherous, with hidden factions working actively behind the scenes to sabotage peace efforts. Meanwhile, in Tabriz, Uzun Hasan discovers internal betrayal and friction involving members of his own close circle.
  
  
• Prince Mustafa’s Crisis and Janissary Unrest:
  Internal troubles compound Sultan Mehmed’s pressures in Constantinople. Prince Mustafa is tasked with handling the Karamanids and successfully restores Pir Ahmed Süleyman Bey to power. However, swayed by a plea from his grandmother Hasibe Hatun, Mustafa chooses mercy and spares Ishak instead of executing the strict punishment demanded by the Sultan. Mehmed views this disobedience severely, creating severe tension between father and son. Furthermore, this harsh disciplinary fallout causes deep unease and friction among the Janissaries, who hold strong loyalties to the prince.
  
  
• Prince Bayezid’s Political Success:
  In contrast to the turmoil surrounding Mustafa, Prince Bayezid successfully demonstrates administrative competence in Bursa. By skillfully negotiating with timar-holding cavalry commanders, he secures their cooperation and earns praise from Sultan Mehmed for his patience and political judgment.
