The episode opens in a dimly lit room where Suraj is stealthily attempting to unlock Jagriti’s phone using her fingerprint. Just as he seems close to succeeding, Jagriti stirs awake, catching him in the act. Suraj quickly concocts a flimsy excuse to cover his actions and makes a hasty exit, leaving Jagriti bewildered. When she notices that her phone is unlocked, she mistakenly concludes that Suraj has managed to unlock it, stirring feelings of suspicion and curiosity within her.
The following morning, Kalindi enters Suraj’s room, cheerfully waking him up. She playfully comments on his late-night antics and reminds him that they need to wake Jagriti to prepare for their visit to the Kuldevi temple. Suraj nods in agreement, his mind racing with thoughts about his previous encounter with Jagriti. He heads to his room, only to find that Jagriti is missing. Moments later, he receives a voice message from her. In the message, Jagriti reveals her distress over the events of the previous night and declares that she will not be attending the temple. Suraj’s heart sinks as he interprets her absence as a deliberate attempt to sabotage Kalikant’s business deal.
Meanwhile, Jagriti is busy making preparations with her friends Bindi, Kachori, and Lochan. She explains her plan to use slingshots instead of traditional bow and arrows to disrupt Kalikant’s deal without revealing the involvement of the Chitta people. Her determination to thwart Kalikant’s plans is palpable, showcasing her fierce loyalty to her ideals and community.
At the temple, Kalindi expresses her frustrations to Kalikant, complaining about Jagriti’s consistent defiance. Kalikant turns to Suraj for clarification, and Suraj, feeling cornered, explains that he sent Jagriti to her maternal home because her brother is unwell. Akash, overhearing the conversation, makes a snide remark about Suraj’s role in the situation. Kalikant, sensing Suraj’s commitment to Jagriti, warns him to distance himself from the deal if he has indeed sent her away. Suraj reassures Kalikant that he will bring Jagriti back to the temple, determined to mend the rift.
Back at Jagriti’s hideout, she is training the Chitta people on how to effectively use the slingshots to target the tires of the trucks as they move. Her leadership and strategic thinking inspire her friends, who are eager to contribute to the cause.
Suraj, meanwhile, tries to reach Jagriti by phone, urging her to come to the temple. Jagriti, still holding onto her grievances, responds that she will only attend if Ganga accompanies them. Suraj, realizing he needs to appease Jagriti, returns home and asks Ganga to come with him to the temple. Ganga agrees, and together they head to the temple, where Jagriti awaits.
Once at the temple, Ganga and Jagriti sit together during the Pooja, creating a sense of unity despite the underlying tension. Later that night, Suraj approaches Jagriti to apologize for the previous night’s misunderstandings. Jagriti responds with a mix of sarcasm and hurt, but Suraj insists he will leave the room so she can rest peacefully. In a questionable move, he sprays what he claims is mosquito repellent around the room, but Jagriti senses something is off.
The next morning, Jagriti awakens groggily, glancing at the clock to find it’s already 6:30 AM. Panic sets in as she realizes Suraj’s trickery—he must have used an intoxicating spray to keep her asleep. Frustrated and trapped, she discovers that all the doors are locked. In a moment of desperation, she prays to God for a way to escape.
Meanwhile, Bindi and Kachori grow increasingly concerned about Jagriti’s absence, speculating on her whereabouts. Akash and Kalikant are on the phone with Suraj, discussing the delivery plan. Suraj reassures them that he will sit in the truck to ensure everything goes smoothly. However, Akash points out that their original plan was for him to follow in his car. Suraj, confident in his decision, informs them that he has altered the plan, and Kalikant praises him for it, reinforcing Suraj’s commitment to the deal.
Ganga then enters Jagriti’s room, questioning why Suraj has locked her in. Jagriti, feeling the pressure, promises to explain later and urges Ganga to help her escape. Ganga suggests moving the almira (wardrobe) to reveal a hidden window at the back, offering a potential route to freedom. The episode concludes with Jagriti feeling a mix of hope and determination as she prepares to make her escape, setting the stage for the unfolding drama and challenges that lie ahead.
