The three Qin units prepare for the climactic third day of their coordinated assault on Wei's main camp in Zhuyong, with each facing a formidable foe.

Xin finds himself trapped as the simultaneous triple-strike comes together; Wei's unsuspecting main camp panics with the three Qin armies closing in.

The plans of the Queen Mother and her lover Lao Ai soon come to light: the foundation of a new state, within Qin itself. The affront is such that it calls for a response equal to it.

A supersized Ai army approaches an underdefended Xianyang. The Queen Dowager and Lü Buwei both have their own epiphanies during the crowning ceremony.

The Fei Xin Force meets up with allies before a pitched battle across a key river. Troops descend on Xianyang as Xiang recalls Zheng's parting words.

Xin pushes onward to Xianyang's Inner Palace as Xiang and Yang are taken to safety. Lü Buwei explains his views to Zheng and how he would rule Qin.

The court ladies make a run for it when their safety is compromised. Shang Lu's ailing army is just barely keeping the enemy out of the royal capital.
