The episode begins with Suraj in the kitchen, his determination palpable as he tells Jagriti that he will make her a special dish: Pulao. As he chops onions, tears stream down his face, revealing the emotional turmoil he’s experiencing. Jagriti, noticing his distress, tenderly wipes his tears away with her dupatta, a gesture filled with warmth and care. Suraj, trying to maintain focus, informs Jagriti that he is about to turn on the stove and advises her to leave the kitchen. However, Jagriti, emboldened by her recent experiences, insists that she won’t let her fear of fire control her any longer. With newfound courage, she lights a matchstick and turns on the stove, signaling her determination to confront her past.
As Suraj skillfully prepares the Pulao, Sapna enters the kitchen and observes the scene. She is taken aback to see Suraj cooking while Jagriti seems unafraid of the flames. Confusion fills Sapna’s mind as she tries to comprehend the dynamics between Suraj and Jagriti. After a moment of silent observation, Sapna decides to leave, still puzzled by the unfolding events.
Later, Jagriti takes a bite of the Pulao and exclaims that it tastes delicious. Her enjoyment of the meal leads to a deeper conversation as she asks Suraj for advice on how to regain her memory. Suraj suggests that she might recall her past by talking to her friends from before. Jagriti’s eyes light up at the thought and she mentions that she plans to speak with Akash, believing him to be her best friend from her past. Suraj, sensing the potential complications, questions why she is so certain that Akash holds that title. Jagriti explains that Akash had told her so when he thought she was still Jagriti Chitta. Suraj, concerned for her safety, warns her that if she reveals the truth to Akash, he might inform Kalikant, which could lead to dire consequences. Jagriti, however, brushes off his concerns, confident in her decision.
Determined to speak with Akash, Jagriti knocks on his door in the early hours of the morning. To her surprise, Sapna emerges from the room, clearly startled by her presence. Sapna questions Jagriti’s motives for being there at such an hour, and Suraj quickly tries to fabricate a reason for her visit. Jagriti, undeterred, insists that she needs to talk to Akash. Sapna, suspicious and protective, tries to pry into the situation but Jagriti remains tight-lipped, leading to a tense exchange. Eventually, Sapna returns to the room, and Akash asks her who was at the door. Sapna cleverly deflects, claiming it was just Avni and Arjun, but when Akash opens the door, he finds no one there, leaving him intrigued.
Suraj, concerned for Jagriti’s well-being, suggests she sleep in her room, but she firmly states that she will remain in the hall to wait for Akash. Suraj, realizing her determination, concedes and leaves her to her thoughts.
In a moment of vulnerability, Suraj confides in Gungroo about his dilemma. He expresses his worries about Jagriti’s insistence on recalling her past and the potential fallout if Akash learns the truth. Gungroo, ever the strategist, advises Suraj to create a story that positions himself as Jagriti’s best friend instead of Akash. Suraj is uncertain about this plan, but Gungroo reassures him that it could work, urging him to take action.
Meanwhile, Sapna discusses her concerns with Kalindi, expressing her belief that Jagriti has a problem and that Akash might hold the key to solving it. Sapna is resolute in her decision not to allow Jagriti to talk to Akash until she understands the situation fully. Kalindi praises Sapna’s protective instincts, further solidifying their alliance.
As morning breaks, Sapna executes a plan to sneak Akash out through the back door while Jagriti is still asleep in the hall. She cleverly retrieves a charger from the living area and hands it to Akash, ensuring he can leave without being noticed.
In a darker turn of events, Suraj secretly mixes a sleeping drug into Jagriti’s food, hoping to keep her from waking up and confronting Akash. His heart aches as he apologizes silently to Jagriti for his actions, knowing the lengths he feels he must go to protect her.
Later, Kalikant enters the scene, pouring water on Jagriti’s face to wake her. His demeanor is menacing as he accuses both Jagriti and Suraj of hiding the truth from him about Jagriti’s identity as a Chitta. He declares that he will punish them both, commanding his henchmen to boil water for a horrific ritual of purification. Jagriti, sensing the impending danger, instinctively strikes a drum nearby, causing the hot water to spill onto Kalikant, momentarily disrupting his sinister plans.
The episode ends on a cliffhanger, filled with tension and uncertainty. As Jagriti stands defiant against Kalikant, viewers are left wondering how the confrontation will unfold and what the repercussions will be for all involved. The stakes have never been higher, and the next episode promises to delve deeper into the tangled web of secrets, loyalties, and the fight for survival.
