The episode begins with Jagriti noticing her mother’s mangalsutra lying with Sapna, sparking a wave of confusion and curiosity within her. She wonders how it ended up in Sapna’s possession, leading her to question the implications of this discovery. Sapna, sensing the potential threat to her own motives, quickly takes the mangalsutra from Jagriti’s hand, claiming it as her mother’s. This moment is steeped in tension, as Jagriti’s attachment to the mangalsutra symbolizes her connection to her past and family. In an attempt to regain composure, Jagriti heads to the kitchen to make tea, but her mind is clearly preoccupied with the implications of Sapna’s actions. Sapna, meanwhile, reflects on her fears that if Jagriti begins to recall her past, she might attempt to reclaim the mangalsutra, which would confirm Sapna’s suspicions about her true intentions.
As the scene shifts, we find Suraj grappling with a burning sensation in his eyes, a painful reminder of the recent chaos. Jagriti enters the room, concerned for him, and offers to help by wiping his eyes with a wet cloth. However, Suraj refuses her assistance, dismissing her by asserting that she isn’t a doctor. Jagriti, undeterred, insists that she knows how to treat eyes exposed to tear gas, hinting at her own experiences in the recent turmoil. Suraj, suspicious of her knowledge, questions how she knows tear gas was used and probes whether she was involved in the incident that led to the truck being caught by the police. Jagriti deftly avoids answering his questions, but Suraj warns her that if he discovers she was behind it, he won’t spare her. This exchange underscores the growing tension between them, as trust begins to erode.
Meanwhile, Akash examines a beautifully crafted pot and suspects its connection to the Chitta community, pondering how they could have had the courage to become involved in such matters. He reflects on the fact that Bindi would have informed him if anything serious had occurred, showcasing his concern for the community’s well-being. In a bid to uncover the truth, Jagriti calls Bindi, asking her to recount the same story she had previously shared with her to Suraj. As she speaks, Jagriti tends to a wound on her leg sustained from her recent adventures in the jungle. Suraj enters the room and comments on the distinct smell of antiseptic, leading him to suspect that she was the one who fell in the jungle. He demands to see her leg, but Jagriti refuses, quickly leaving to assist Ganga, further heightening Suraj’s suspicions.
Akash’s investigation deepens as he questions the pot maker about who has been purchasing pots from him. Initially, the pot maker lies, but under pressure, he admits that Kachori bought twenty pots. Akash confronts Kachori, urging her to tell the truth, expressing his belief that someone powerful is orchestrating the entire plan. Meanwhile, in a more sinister turn of events, Suraj uses a spray on Jagriti that induces a deep sleep, allowing him to check her leg via video. To his surprise, he finds no wound, raising further questions about her honesty.
As Kachori finally admits that a politician purchased the pots, Akash shows her some photos, and she identifies one man who was seen with the politician near their community, connecting the dots in a larger conspiracy. Jagriti, on the other hand, awakens to find it’s already 8 a.m., feeling pain in her leg. She removes the stocking she had used to hide her injury just as she hears the door opening. In a panic, she quickly hides the stocking away. Suraj greets her and asks her to fold the bedding. Jagriti, still disoriented from her sleep, says she will do it since she just woke up. As she stumbles, Suraj catches her and questions why she can’t stand properly, probing if she’s injured. Jagriti adamantly denies any injury, but the moment leaves her feeling vulnerable. Suraj offers to help set the bed, but she refuses, recalling where she hid the stocking underneath it. Suraj, sensing her discomfort, leaves her to manage on her own.
In another part of the house, Sapna approaches Akash, inquiring if he has uncovered anything new. Akash reveals his suspicion of Varma, leading Sapna to wonder if Varma learned the truck’s route and timing from Jagriti, whom she views as an outsider. Akash, frustrated, tells her to stop blaming Jagriti and suggests that Suraj may have inadvertently revealed something in his anxious state. Determined to find proof, Sapna resolves to search for evidence against Jagriti, believing that if Suraj is found guilty, Kalikant will name Akash as heir. Akash advises her to focus on gathering proof first, but Sapna’s determination to discredit Jagriti only intensifies.
As the tension mounts, Jagriti stumbles upon a gun and contemplates its significance, pondering whether it was used by her father. She hides it in a cupboard, aware of the potential implications of its discovery. Meanwhile, Sapna stealthily sneaks into Jagriti’s room to search for evidence of wrongdoing. In a moment of unexpected gratitude, Akash thanks Jagriti for her efforts in helping the Chitta people, acknowledging that he saw the video and urging her not to take Sapna’s doubts to heart. However, Jagriti soon catches sight of Sapna snooping around her room. Internally, she reflects on how Sapna had set a trap using the mangalsutra but reassures herself that she is one step ahead. In a fateful moment, Sapna opens a box and burns her hand by touching a photo coated with chemicals, prompting Jagriti to warn her that it was a warning. She offers a remedy but firmly warns Sapna not to interfere again. Sapna, stung by both the burn and Jagriti’s words, leaves the room in defeat.
The episode concludes with Jagriti taking the revolver, symbolizing her determination to confront the challenges ahead. The tension is palpable, and the stakes are higher than ever, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats as the narrative unfolds. Themes of loyalty, deception, and the quest for truth intertwine, setting the stage for further developments in this gripping story.
