The episode opens with a light-hearted moment as Manoj compliments Megha on her culinary skills, specifically praising her for the delicious jackfruit dish she prepared. He recalls that he had actually asked her to cook mutton, which Mannu had brought earlier. A short while ago, Alka had informed Manoj that Megha had indeed cooked jackfruit and that the goat had safely made its way into the forest. Manoj is appreciative of Alka’s input and turns to her, asking what she desires. Alka, with a thoughtful expression, assures him that she will make her request known when the time is right. She has made a decision to reveal Mannu’s true identity to Manoj and hopes that he will find it in his heart to forgive Mannu after his surgery.
As the conversation continues, Manoj directs his attention to Megha, questioning whether he appears foolish for being unable to distinguish between mutton and jackfruit. He confronts Mannu, accusing him of lying and attempting to deceive him. Manoj asserts that it is not easy to fool him, yet Mannu had tried. He orders Mannu to stand up, prompting an apologetic response from Mannu. Manoj insists that Mannu should stand tall and gives him an opportunity to apologize properly. With Manoj’s encouragement, Mannu stands and is instructed to hold the bowl of jackfruit. He hesitates, expressing concern that the bowl is hot and could burn his hand. Manoj, however, pushes him further, instructing Mannu to either keep holding the bowl or throw it at Megha’s face. Mannu, clearly distressed, refuses to comply.
Manoj, growing increasingly agitated, insists that Mannu must either continue holding the bowl or take the drastic step of throwing it at Megha. He notices that Mannu is visibly frightened, even urinating in fear, and he calls him a coward. In a shocking turn, he demands that Mannu remove his pants, leaving both Megha and Alka in disbelief. Megha interjects, reminding Manoj that Mannu is just a child and that such treatment is unacceptable. Manoj dismisses her concerns, telling her to be quiet. Megha, standing firm, encourages Mannu not to feel ashamed and to resist bending to anyone’s will, urging him to tell Manoj that he will not remove his pants.
Manoj then confronts Mannu, asking whom he will listen to. In a fit of rage, he slaps Megha and threatens her, saying he will kill her if she interferes again. Megha pleads with him, stating that this incident could leave lasting trauma in Mannu’s life. In the midst of this chaos, Mannu silently prays to Angel Papa for help. Just then, a loud blast is heard, causing Manoj to leave the scene abruptly. Mannu feels a sense of relief, believing that Angel Papa has intervened on his behalf.
After the tension subsides, Megha takes the time to reassure Mannu, emphasizing that he should never feel compelled to remove his pants in front of anyone, as it pertains to his dignity and respect. She gently educates him about the concepts of good touch and bad touch, ensuring he understands the importance of personal boundaries. Alka then suggests that Mannu should go change, and he heads inside. Megha reflects on the importance of Mannu knowing his true identity. Alka questions Megha, wondering if she truly expects Mannu to learn about his identity while simultaneously hiding it from the world. Megha, concerned, counters by asking if Alka intends to mold Mannu to be like Manoj. Alka firmly states that Mannu’s truth will remain concealed and leaves the conversation, leaving Mannu to ponder what secrets are being kept from him.
Meanwhile, Manoj learns that another individual has escaped from Bandipur, adding to his frustrations. In a parallel storyline, Arjun informs healer Kaka that he has successfully helped five people escape from Bandipur within the month. He shares that today marks his son’s birthday, and he plans to flee with his family shortly after his son’s surgery.
As the birthday party approaches, Megha assists Mannu in getting ready. Mannu, curious and innocent, asks about the differences between girls and boys, mentioning that he enjoys many things typically associated with girls. Megha, with a gentle smile, advises him to be patient and wait until he is old enough to understand these differences. Alka then takes Mannu downstairs, while Megha decides to visit a special place where she and Arjun had shared meaningful moments in the past. She leaves with a sense of nostalgia.
At that same location, Arjun arrives and greets Mannu with a cheerful, “Happy birthday!” He mentions that his escape plan is all set and that they only need to wait a few more days. After sharing this news, he departs. Shortly after, Megha arrives and discovers a box that Arjun had left behind. Her face lights up as she calls out Arjun’s name, filled with happiness. Unbeknownst to her, Arjun overhears this joyful moment.
In the precap, Megha tells Mannu that he is a girl.
