The episode opens with Doree and Maan in a state of panic, believing they are cornered by the police. The ominous sound of barking dogs echoes around them, heightening their anxiety. Just as they brace themselves for confrontation, Sattu appears in front of them, concluding a phone call. Doree, visibly relieved yet frustrated, questions Sattu about the peculiar ringtone of barking dogs, wondering who would choose such a sound. Sattu, unfazed by her irritation, smirks and reminds her that he had brought them food and water while evading the police. He points out that despite her scolding, he has always been there for her in times of trouble. Maan, chiming in, adds his own commentary on Sattu’s antics, lightening the mood momentarily. Doree expresses her gratitude for Sattu’s support and the food he provided, asking him to keep an eye on Maan as she prepares to leave.
Meanwhile, the scene shifts to the Thakur mansion, where the police have arrived to interrogate the Thakur family about Maan’s whereabouts. The atmosphere is tense as the officers question each family member, their suspicions palpable. Shortly after this, Doree returns to the mansion, feeling the weight of the situation.
The police inform Doree that Maan has managed to escape from custody, and they demand answers. Doree feigns ignorance, putting on an innocent façade. When pressed about her whereabouts the previous night, she claims she was at the Sankatamayya temple, praying fervently for Maan’s safety. The officers, not easily convinced, show her CCTV footage from the temple to verify her alibi.
As the footage plays, it confirms Doree’s presence at the temple, reinforcing her story. A flashback unfolds, revealing that Pushpa had called Doree earlier to warn her about the police’s presence at the Thakur mansion. Sattu, sensing imminent danger for Doree, had taken swift action by enlisting the help of the temple priest. Together, they created a fake video that convincingly showed Doree in the temple for the entire duration of Maan’s escape. Sattu reassured Doree that this fabricated evidence would mislead the police into believing she was occupied elsewhere.
After questioning the Thakur family, the police instruct them to report any information regarding Maan’s whereabouts. They leave the mansion, but the tension lingers in the air.
Meanwhile, Maan, in a secluded location, begins to piece together the unsettling events surrounding the murder. He examines his hands, which are stained with what he initially believes to be blood. However, upon closer inspection, he realizes it’s fake. Alarmed, he quickly calls Doree to share his discovery. Doree, listening intently, contemplates the implications of Maan’s revelation. If the blood is fake, she muses, then perhaps the murder itself is a ruse.
Determined to uncover the truth, Doree sneaks into Kailashi Devi’s room. As she searches for clues, she hides inside an almirah when she hears Kailashi Devi entering. The tension builds as Kailashi Devi approaches the almirah, sensing something amiss. Just as she is about to investigate, her phone rings, distracting her long enough for Doree to slip out. As Doree emerges, she notices a medicine bottle that has fallen to the floor. Curiosity piqued, she quickly looks it up online and discovers its purpose. Realizing it’s a medication that slows down heart rate, she connects the dots and calls Maan again, excitedly explaining that the murder is likely a fabrication. She insists that she needs to go to the morgue to examine Anand Thakur’s body to confirm her suspicions. Maan, concerned for her safety, warns her about the risks involved, but Doree is resolute and heads to the morgue, determined to uncover the truth.
Meanwhile, in a cunning twist, Rajnandini decides to impersonate Doree over the phone. She contacts Pushpa, feigning busyness and asking her to take food to Maan. Pushpa, believing she is speaking to Doree, readily agrees, unaware of Rajnandini’s ulterior motives. Rajnandini plans to follow Pushpa, hoping to locate Maan and further her own agenda.
At the hospital, Doree arrives, her heart racing as she searches for Anand Thakur’s body. Unbeknownst to her, Kailashi Devi is also at the hospital, engaged in her own schemes. She discreetly bribes a police inspector, instructing him to inform anyone who inquires that Anand Thakur’s body has already been cremated. The inspector agrees and walks away, leaving Kailashi Devi to execute her plan to revive Anand Thakur using the very medicine Doree had discovered.
As Doree approaches the morgue, she notices police officers stationed outside, heightening her anxiety. The episode ends on a cliffhanger, with both Doree and Kailashi Devi on converging paths, each determined to achieve their goals but unaware of the other’s intentions.
