Synopsis:
The Warlord protects Tara from assassins in the courtyard of Ashir's palace. After the danger has passed, Tara pretends not to know Morgan. He plays along. Later he sneaks into her chambers. She explains that Shamballah is threatened by the Therans. Her marriage to Ashir was arranged to unite two kingdoms against the Therans.

Their reunion is cut short by Harrarh, who accuses the couple of plotting against Ashir. They are captured and prepared for execution. Ashir and Shakira stop Harrarh. Shakira has told Ashir that he was the man behind the assassination attempts.

After Harrarh has been killed. Ashir calls off the marriage, giving Tara to Morgan. She, however, does not appreciate being given to anyone and storms out. Morgan then dons his fighting garb once again and heads out to win her back.
