This episode of “Doree” takes a dramatic and supernatural turn, only to reveal a meticulously planned scheme that culminates in a life-or-death cliffhanger.
The episode opens with the entire Thakur family in shock as Doree begins acting erratically, seemingly possessed by a vengeful spirit. Dressed in a sari with her hair disheveled, she claims to be “Neelu,” a name that strikes fear and confusion into Rajnandini. As the family watches in horror, “Neelu” (Doree) confronts a terrified Rajnandini, accusing her of betrayal and murder. She reveals intimate details of a past promise—that Rajnandini had agreed to get her brother, Deep, married to Neelu’s daughter, Paro. This intimate knowledge, which only Neelu and Rajnandini could have known, convinces everyone that the spirit is real.
The possessed Doree then attacks Rajnandini, strangling her and creating chaos. However, a sudden shift reveals the entire haunting was a brilliant and elaborate prank. In a private moment, Maan and Doree are seen celebrating the success of their plan to scare Rajnandini into confessing her crimes.
Through a series of flashbacks, their master plan is unveiled. They had enlisted their friend Kelo to disguise himself as a “Tantrik Baba” to manipulate Rajnandini. Sugna had provided them with crucial details about Neelu’s past, and Ganga Prasad, now out of his coma, also contributed to the plan. The Tantrik (Kelo) convinces a petrified Rajnandini that to appease Neelu’s restless spirit, she must find Neelu’s urn of ashes and perform a final ritual, warning her that failure could result in her own death.
Falling for the trap, Rajnandini goes to Neelu’s old, decrepit house. In the eerie, blue-lit corridor, she finds the urn and prepares a ritual fire. Just then, Doree appears again as “Neelu.” As Rajnandini begs for forgiveness, Maan secretly records the entire confrontation from a hiding spot. Cornered and terrified, Rajnandini breaks down and confesses everything: “Yes, I killed you, Neelu! And I am the one who framed Ganga Prasad!”
Just as Maan captures the confession, the plan backfires. Kavya, who had discovered the truth about the prank, had been tied up by Pushpa and Ganga Prasad but managed to send a message to Rajnandini’s watch: “Doree is fooling you… there is no ghost.” Realizing she’s been tricked, Rajnandini pulls out a gun and aims it at Doree.
The episode ends on a heart-stopping cliffhanger. Maan rushes out to save Doree, and in the struggle for the gun, a shot rings out. Maan falls to the ground, shot, as Doree screams his name in terror.

-

-
Rajnandini’s Full Confession: For the first time, Rajnandini explicitly confesses to both crimes: murdering Neelu and framing Ganga Prasad for it, with Maan capturing it all on video.
-
Kavya’s Discovery: Kavya uncovers Doree’s plan and becomes a key witness. Her attempt to warn Rajnandini, although delayed, is what ultimately causes the plan to unravel at the last second.

Predicted Outcomes (Next Episode/Arc)
-
The Fight for Maan’s Life: The immediate focus will be on Maan’s survival. This will create immense emotional turmoil for Doree, who will feel responsible for him getting hurt, and will test the family’s loyalties.
-
The Battle for the Evidence: The video of Rajnandini’s confession is now the most critical piece of evidence. Rajnandini will do everything in her power to destroy that phone, while Doree and her supporters will fight to protect it and use it to expose her.
-
Rajnandini’s Next Move: With the gun in her hand and Maan injured, Rajnandini has regained temporary control. She will likely claim she shot him in self-defense or that it was an accident, attempting to paint Doree and Maan as the aggressors who trapped and threatened her.
-
Kavya’s Allegiance Tested: Kavya is now a wild card. She knows Doree was faking the possession but also likely heard Rajnandini’s confession. Her testimony could either save Rajnandini or doom her, and she will be under immense pressure from both sides.
-
Ganga Prasad’s Reaction: Learning that his own daughter-in-law, Pushpa, and son, Ganga Prasad, tied up Kavya to aid the plan will likely cause a new rift. This will add another layer of complexity to the family dynamics as they deal with the fallout from the shooting.
