Suraj attempts to unlock Jagriti’s phone by using her fingerprint while she’s asleep, but she wakes up in the middle of his act. Although he quickly covers up with an excuse and walks away, Jagriti becomes suspicious when she later finds her phone already unlocked. The following morning, Suraj is assigned to wake her up for a trip to the Kuldevi temple but is shocked to discover that she’s missing. He soon receives a voice note from Jagriti, where she expresses her disappointment about what happened the previous night and states she won’t be attending the temple visit—something Suraj immediately recognizes as a threat to Kalikant’s crucial business deal.
Instead of heading to the temple, Jagriti starts training Bindi, Kachori, and Lochan in the use of slingshots to damage the tires of the delivery truck. She ensures that their actions remain untraceable and don’t point back to the Chitta community. At the same time, Kalindi complains about Jagriti to Kalikant. To avoid suspicion, Suraj lies, claiming that Jagriti went to her maternal home because her brother is unwell. Kalikant cautions Suraj, saying he should back out of the deal if Jagriti truly isn’t around. Still determined, Suraj promises to bring her to the temple.
Jagriti agrees to go—but only if Ganga comes along. Suraj manages to persuade Ganga, and the three of them attend the temple’s ritual together. That night, Suraj appears to make peace with Jagriti, even apologizing to her. However, he secretly sprays an intoxicating substance in her room so she won’t wake up in time the next morning.
When the day breaks, Jagriti wakes up groggy and quickly figures out what Suraj has done. She finds herself locked in the room and turns to prayer, hoping for a way to escape. Meanwhile, Suraj begins preparing for the delivery, informing Kalikant and Akash that he’s changed the plan and will personally escort the truck himself. Back at home, Ganga discreetly helps Jagriti escape through a hidden exit behind the almirah.
