The episode opens with Arjun’s heart racing as he comes across wanted posters featuring both him and Megha. The posters offer a reward of 1,000 water bottles, highlighting the dire situation they find themselves in. Desperate and resourceful, Arjun heads to a nearby tea shop, where he devises a clever ruse: he pretends to be deaf and dumb. Approaching the shop owner, he gestures for tea, but the owner demands payment. In a bold move, Arjun offers his expensive watch as currency, which piques the shop owner’s curiosity.
The shop owner inspects the watch and questions Arjun about its origins, suspecting it might be stolen. Just then, he spots Manoj’s jeep approaching and decides to alert him. Arjun, sensing the urgency, quickly runs into the jeep just as the shop owner informs Manoj that he found an expensive watch in the hands of a beggar. Manoj’s eyes widen in recognition; he realizes the watch belongs to Arjun.
“Where is the beggar?” Manoj demands. The shop owner brings Arjun out from hiding, and Arjun recalls the moment he smeared flour on his face to disguise himself. Manoj questions Arjun about how he acquired the watch, while the shop owner insists that Arjun is indeed deaf and dumb. In a moment of defiance, Arjun grabs one of the wanted posters and claims he got the watch from the people depicted on it. When Manoj presses him for details on where he last saw Megha, Arjun provides a location. This revelation confirms for Manoj that Arjun and Megha are still alive, prompting him to leave with his men, determined to track them down.
Meanwhile, the scene shifts to Megha, who is struggling to soothe her crying daughter. She feels an overwhelming sense of guilt for being unable to provide even the most basic nourishment, like milk, for her baby. As the baby continues to cry, Megha’s own tears flow freely, reflecting her despair. After a while, the baby finally falls asleep, granting Megha a moment of respite.
Just then, Arjun returns, carrying food as he promised. He reassures Megha that he has brought what they need. However, he quickly notices her tear-streaked face and the distress she is in. As he begins to eat, he comments on the food’s spiciness and offers her water, only to discover it is salty. Despite this, Megha continues to eat the spicy food, driven by the need to nourish herself for her daughter.
Curious about her determination, Arjun asks Megha why she is forcing herself to eat such unpleasant food. She explains that her daughter is hungry, and she must eat to produce milk for her. While rummaging through their meager belongings, Arjun stumbles upon a letter from Manoj. As he reads it, he realizes the extent of Manoj’s cruelty; he has ensured that all the local shops are selling only spicy food and salty water, and he demands Megha return to him.
The baby starts crying again, intensifying the pressure on Arjun and Megha. Arjun, feeling trapped, tells Megha that they have no choice but to return to Manoj. Megha vehemently refuses, fearing for her daughter’s safety, convinced that Manoj would harm her. Arjun tries to calm her, insisting that Manoj is unaware of the baby’s birth, and they can use that to their advantage to stay hidden.
Meanwhile, Alka, a close associate of Manoj, observes his calm demeanor as he enters their home. She is puzzled by his relaxed attitude, prompting Manoj to reveal his belief that Arjun and Megha will soon return. He laughs ominously, seemingly confident in his control over the situation.
Later, Megha enters Manoj’s house, cleverly disguising herself with a fake baby bump. She confronts Manoj, accusing him of causing her child’s hunger and demanding that he send food and water to her room. Manoj, intrigued yet cautious, inquires about Arjun’s whereabouts. Megha dismisses his questions, insisting they focus on more pressing matters. Manoj orders Alka to provide Megha with good food, instructing his men to ensure that she does not leave the house to see Arjun.
Once in her room, Megha is met by Alka, who brings the promised food. Alka scolds Megha for returning, expressing her anger and concern. Megha acknowledges Alka’s frustration but stands firm in her resolve. Alka warns her that escaping from Manoj will not be easy now that they are back in his grasp.
In a flashback, Arjun had previously warned Megha that surviving in the forest with their daughter would be nearly impossible. Back in the present, Megha shows Alka her baby, who takes the child into her arms, her face lighting up with joy. However, the baby soon begins to cry again, and the sound reaches Manoj, who, feeling the disturbance, heads toward Megha’s room, sensing something is amiss.
The episode concludes on a cliffhanger.
