The episode starts with Manoj making a shocking announcement—he declares that Jishnu will now be in charge of this darpar. He tells the villagers to bring their issues to Jishnu from now on. Then, Manoj mentions that he himself has a complaint to make. Jishnu reads aloud a letter written by Manoj, in which Manoj accuses Megha and Alka of insulting him. In front of everyone, Manoj says he wants to punish them publicly. His demand? He tells Jishnu to tear Megha and Alka’s clothes and burn them. He instructs the crowd not to look away and says this is also a test for Jishnu to prove his loyalty. Megha and Alka are shocked and horrified.
Alka, deeply hurt, reminds Manoj that she is his wife. She questions how he can even say such a thing without shame. A group of women hold Megha and Alka tightly. Manoj declares that everyone should see the price of going against him. He tells Jishnu to reveal who he will start with. Jishnu walks toward Alka. Manoj orders him to begin. In tears, Alka tells Manoj that he should’ve killed her instead of putting her through this. Then she screams that Manoj is impotent, and nothing can change that. Manoj, furious, demands Jishnu to act quickly. Jishnu raises his hand toward Alka, but before he can do anything, Alka stops him and says she’ll do it herself.
Flashback to a few minutes earlier—Jishnu had secretly told Alka and Megha about Manoj’s horrific plan. Alka, in disbelief, said she didn’t think Manoj would go so far. But Jishnu insisted that Manoj is no longer human. Megha pointed out how Alka once hoped for love and respect from Manoj, but he cares for no one. Alka promised to keep Jishnu’s secret but said she had a condition. Jishnu asked what it was. Alka replied that she wanted him to become her brother—someone who respects and protects women. Touched, Jishnu hugged her. Megha smiled, feeling the bond. Jishnu told Megha it felt like God was finally completing their broken family. He promised Alka he’d give his life for her. When they wondered how to handle the darpar, Jishnu said even in Mahabharat, such assemblies happened—and justice always found its way.
Back in the present, Alka bravely removes her dupatta. Jishnu turns to Manoj and asks what he will do now. Manoj realizes they came prepared and immediately orders his men forward. As the goons move towards Megha and Alka, Megha whispers to Alka that these men are no better than Manoj. She throws itching powder on them, causing chaos. The men frantically strip off their clothes and flee. Manoj, furious and embarrassed, washes his face. Megha mocks him.
Trying to turn things around, Manoj accuses Jishnu of betrayal, calling him a traitor. He says this proves they were always on the same side. But Megha quickly denies having any connection to Jishnu. She lies and says Jishnu never told her anything—that she only overheard Manoj’s plans when he was talking to the men. Manoj then reveals that the men weren’t actually aware of his plan—he made it up to test Jishnu’s loyalty. He beats Jishnu while angrily yelling Arjun Talwar’s name. He demands that Jishnu confess Arjun sent him.
Jishnu finally breaks his silence. He admits betraying Manoj but says it’s not the way Manoj is imagining. He pulls out some drugs and lies that Megha caught him stealing them and used it to blackmail him into revealing Manoj’s plan. Jishnu begs Manoj for one more chance and swears that he’ll remain loyal from now on.
Later, Manoj announces Jishnu’s punishment. A local man brings forward a burning hot iron rod. Manoj watches closely, believing this will finally force Jishnu to tell the whole truth.
Episode ends.
