The episode begins with Yuvraj in jail, desperately asking his father, Chandrabhan Thakur, for news. An emotional Chandrabhan holds his son’s hand through the bars, his face a mix of sorrow and rage. He informs Yuvraj that Advocate Anjali Awasthi has successfully freed Raghav Singh Rajput, proving him innocent in court. Not only that, but she has also cemented her reputation as the city’s best lawyer. Chandrabhan fumes, explaining that Raghav and Anjali are now a happy family, while his own has been shattered. He recounts the humiliation of his daughter returning home in her bridal attire after her wedding was called off and laments that his son is now imprisoned.
Consumed by anger, Chandrabhan tells Yuvraj that the entire city is mocking him, and his political career is in jeopardy as the party has denied him a ticket, all because of the Rajput and Awasthi families. He declares they are utterly ruined. Yuvraj, with tears in his eyes, pleads with his father to get him out of jail by any means necessary. Chandrabhan promises to secure his release with the help of a man named Bhajan Singh. He then vows to destroy the Awasthi settlement, the Rajput family, and finally, Anjali herself. However, Yuvraj chillingly interrupts, claiming Anjali is his prey to hunt. He instructs his father to go and demolish the Awasthi settlement immediately.
The scene shifts to the Awasthi settlement, where chaos erupts. Chandrabhan, accompanied by his lawyer and a mob of goons, begins to wreak havoc. They violently tear down shops and stalls, terrifying the residents who run for their lives. A frightened Padma quickly calls Anjali for help.
Anjali, who is at court with Aman, receives the distressing call. Padma frantically explains that goons are destroying their homes and shops. Anjali is shocked but tries to calm her down, revealing that she is at the court trying to get a stay order. Realizing they are out of time, she tells Aman they must rush to the settlement. She declares that this is a fight for their land against the powerful Chandrabhan Thakur.
Anjali and Aman arrive on a scooter to a scene of complete pandemonium. The goons are mercilessly beating residents and demolishing their property. Ganesh Awasthi is pushed to the ground while trying to intervene. A police inspector arrives but is quickly intimidated by Chandrabhan, who arrogantly claims he has a court order to evict everyone. Just as Chandrabhan is about to strike another resident, Anjali arrives and courageously grabs his hand. “My voice works in court, and your handiwork is seen outside,” she declares fearlessly. When a goon tries to attack her, Anjali and Aman fight back with surprising force, taking down several of them. Anjali then hands a document to the police inspector – the stay order she managed to secure. She gives Chandrabhan a one-minute ultimatum to leave with his goons, threatening to bury him under so many legal cases that he’ll spend his life counting them. Enraged and defeated for the moment, Chandrabhan warns Anjali that he will see her later before retreating. The episode ends with Anjali and Aman standing strong as the residents cheer for their savior.
Review
This episode was a powerhouse of intense drama and action. The opening jail scene perfectly established the motivations for Chandrabhan’s terrifying act of vengeance. His feeling of utter humiliation and loss was palpable, setting the stage for his brutal attack on the innocent residents. Yuvraj’s sinister claim over Anjali as his ‘prey’ adds a dark and personal layer to the conflict, suggesting he will be a major threat once he is out.
The highlight of the episode was undoubtedly Anjali’s transformation from a lawyer to a fierce protector. Seeing her and Aman fight off the goons was a thrilling sequence that showcased their courage and partnership. The moment Anjali presented the stay order was a classic hero-arrives-in-the-nick-of-time scene, providing a huge sense of relief and triumph. The episode brilliantly balanced emotional turmoil with high-stakes action, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats and eager to see how Anjali will counter Chandrabhan’s next move.
