The episode opens with a tense atmosphere as Arjun skillfully diverts the attention of Manoj’s servant, creating an opportunity for Megha. Megha, aware of the risks, quickly hides to avoid being discovered. The servant, tasked with finding her, searches the area, unaware of the unfolding drama. Arjun approaches Megha, concern etched on his face, and inquires about her presence there. Megha explains that she came to seek blessings from Devimaa for their unborn child, emphasizing the importance of her spiritual connection during this critical time.
Arjun, however, is visibly frustrated. He reveals that he had planned an escape from Manoj’s clutches in two days, using the Utsav of Bandipur as cover. He scolds Megha for putting herself in danger by visiting the temple, reminding her that he had sent her to Manoj’s house to ensure she could eat well and rest. Megha, feeling the weight of his disappointment, apologizes, admitting she didn’t realize her actions would upset him. She expresses her longing for Choti, their child, and acknowledges her mistake in coming there. Arjun, softening, apologizes for his harshness and encourages her to return to Choti.
Meanwhile, in Manoj’s house, the atmosphere is tense as he hands a basket to his servant, instructing her to throw it in the dustbin without a second thought. The servant complies, taking the basket out of the house just as Megha returns and witnesses this exchange. Curiosity piqued, she enters the house, her heart racing with anxiety. Manoj, noticing her calm demeanor, wonders what she is up to. Alka, another key character, notices the absence of the basket and begins to piece together the situation.
Megha, desperate for information, approaches Alka and inquires about Choti. Alka, in a hushed tone, reveals that she had hidden Choti inside the basket for safekeeping. Realization dawns on Megha as she remembers the servant taking the basket outside. Panic sets in, and she bolts from the room, racing against time to save her child.
As Megha runs, Manoj observes her frantic behavior, puzzled by her urgency. Outside, she spots the garbage man setting fire to the basket along with other refuse. Horror grips her as she realizes the danger Choti is in. Without hesitation, Megha rushes to the burning pile, frantically searching for her baby. With a surge of determination, she manages to retrieve Choti from the basket, cradling her in her arms. Overwhelmed with emotion, Megha apologizes to her child, expressing gratitude to God for their safety.
However, the moment of relief is short-lived as Manoj appears, his expression darkening as he questions Megha’s actions. Shocked to see him, Megha’s heart races with fear. Manoj angrily reprimands Alka for assisting Megha, accusing them of conspiring to steal his son from him. In a fit of rage, he threatens to harm Alka, but just in time, Arjun intervenes, stepping in to protect them. He quickly fabricates a story, claiming that Alka knew nothing about the baby, trying to diffuse the situation.
Manoj, undeterred, taunts them, asserting that they are surrounded by enemies. He orders his men to capture Arjun and Megha, brandishing a gun as a symbol of his authority and menace. Megha, refusing to let go of her baby, stands her ground against Manoj’s threats. In a shocking turn, Manoj forcibly snatches Choti from her arms, declaring with a sinister laugh that everyone should know his son has arrived.
As time passes, Manoj revels in the celebration of his baby’s birth, boasting that his son will one day rule the world. He invites the locals to witness this momentous occasion, basking in the attention and admiration. Meanwhile, Megha watches from the sidelines, tears streaming down her face as she confides in Arjun her fears that Manoj will harm Choti once he discovers the truth about her gender. Arjun urges her to remain calm, but the tension is palpable as Manoj prepares to remove the baby’s clothes, a gesture that sends chills down Megha’s spine.
Alka, sensing the impending danger, hopes that Manoj doesn’t see the baby’s true identity. In a surprising twist, Manoj hands the baby over to Alka, further complicating the situation. A local bystander suggests that they perform a traditional milk bath ritual for the newborn, to which Manoj enthusiastically agrees. He announces that the ritual will take place that very day, igniting a new wave of anxiety in Megha.
As Megha processes this news, a sense of dread washes over her. She realizes that if the milk bath ritual occurs, everyone will discover that she gave birth to a baby girl. The thought of Manoj learning the truth fills her with terror, as she fears he will kill her child in a fit of rage. The episode concludes on this gripping note, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats, eager to see how Megha will navigate the perilous path ahead.
