The episode opens with Suraj on the phone, urgently informing Jagriti that both the clutch and brakes of his jeep have failed. Jagriti, sensing the gravity of the situation, asks Suraj to send her his live location. Suraj quickly agrees and does so, hoping for a swift resolution.
Jagriti drives to Suraj’s location, following him closely in her car. As they communicate over the phone, Jagriti reassures Suraj that she is right behind him. Suraj, filled with anxiety, asks Jagriti what he should do next. She instructs him to take a right turn, explaining that there’s an IPS training ground nearby filled with haystack gunny bags. Jagriti encourages Suraj to crash into those bags, assuring him that they will absorb the shock and keep him safe. Trusting her judgment, Suraj follows her advice and crashes into the gunny bags.
Once the dust settles, Jagriti rushes to Suraj’s side, asking if he is alright. Suraj, relieved and grateful, confirms that he is fine and praises Jagriti, saying her plan worked perfectly. He pulls her into a hug, expressing his heartfelt thanks for saving him from a potentially disastrous accident.
Meanwhile, Rohan approaches Bhairav with alarming news. He tells Bhairav that Suraj had a serious accident but was nearly hurt due to tampered brakes on his jeep. Bhairav listens intently, asking for details. Rohan explains that it was fortunate Jagriti arrived just in time to save Suraj. Bhairav acknowledges this, commenting on Jagriti’s timely intervention. However, Rohan expresses his unease, suggesting that something sinister is at play, especially since they were attacked previously and now someone attempted to harm Suraj. Bhairav dismisses Rohan’s concerns, telling him he is overthinking the situation. He silently vows that while Suraj may have escaped this time, he won’t be so lucky in the future.
Back at the scene, Suraj thanks Jagriti again for her quick thinking and bravery. However, he then poses a troubling question: why didn’t she let him die? Jagriti is taken aback, asking him what kind of question that is. Suraj explains that if he were dead, she could have freed herself from their marriage. Jagriti, firm in her stance, replies that while she does want a divorce, she would never wish for someone’s life to be sacrificed for it. She comments on Suraj’s reckless attitude before walking away, leaving him to ponder her words.
Later, Jagriti heads to the kitchen, only to find the fridge empty of water. Just then, Akash enters and hands her a water bottle. He casually mentions that he overheard Jagriti and Suraj discussing the Chitta girls the previous night. Thanking her for not revealing his connection to the Chitta people, Akash asks why she chose to keep it a secret. Jagriti explains that her priority is the freedom of the Chitta people, which matters more to her than her own feelings of hatred.
As their conversation continues, Jagriti questions Akash about Suraj’s unwavering belief in Kalikant, despite the latter’s many wrongdoings. Akash explains that Suraj idolizes Kalikant, viewing everything he does as justified. He expresses his hope that Suraj will eventually open his eyes to the truth of Kalikant’s actions.
The next day, Kalikant gathers his family at a new location, declaring his intention to build a hotel there. Jagriti immediately challenges him, reminding him that the government has ordered the construction of a school on that site. Kalikant arrogantly asserts that he is the government and insists that a hotel will be built instead of a school. He then turns to Suraj and Akash, asking for suggestions on how to cut construction costs. Suraj, eager to please, suggests utilizing the Chitta people for labor, noting that they wouldn’t need to pay them. Kalikant praises Suraj’s idea, instructing him to put the plan into action.
As the Chitta people arrive, they plead with Kalikant to reconsider and instead build a school for their children’s future. Kalikant, unfazed, orders Akash to send them away. Akash complies, but Jagriti stands firm, assuring the Chitta people that the school will indeed be built. Kalikant, frustrated, demands that Suraj convince Jagriti to see things his way. Suraj reluctantly agrees, knowing the tension this will create.
Taking Jagriti aside, Suraj asks her if she plans to stand against Kalikant on behalf of the Chitta people. Jagriti confidently affirms her intention to fight for their rights, determined to make a difference.
Jagriti then leads Suraj to the Municipal office, explaining that he can earn Kalikant’s respect without harming the Chitta people. Suraj is intrigued and asks how he can achieve this. Jagriti reveals that they will seek help from IAS officer MK Jha, who can assist them in their cause.
The episode concludes with a sense of determination as Jagriti and Suraj prepare to challenge Kalikant’s plans, setting the stage for a confrontation that could change everything.
