The episode begins in a dark hospital room where Shivansh is lying unconscious on a bed with an IV drip. Prachi enters with a flashlight, looking frantic. She rushes to his side, calling his name and trying to wake him. She tells him that the entire hospital has been targeted by goons and that they have come specifically to kill him. She begs him to regain consciousness, feeling completely helpless and unsure of how to save him or where to take him.
Just then, a nurse named Reeta and a ward boy named Vimal enter the room. Prachi, relieved, tells them about the dire situation. She explains that she overheard the goons and knows their target is Shivansh. She desperately asks if there is any safe place in the hospital to hide him. Vimal immediately suggests the basement, and Reeta agrees, confirming that it’s a secure spot where no one usually goes. Reeta instructs Prachi to help her move Shivansh to the basement immediately. She then turns to Vimal and gives him a critical task: he must go to Room 7 to get an injection for Shivansh. She stresses that Shivansh needs this injection every two hours, or his life will be in grave danger. Vimal agrees to get the medicine and meet them in the basement. Prachi and Reeta quickly start wheeling Shivansh’s bed out of the room.
The scene shifts to the hospital’s waiting area, which is now overrun by a group of armed goons. They have rounded up all the doctors and staff, holding them at gunpoint. The leader, an older man with a white beard, commands everyone to be quiet, stating he hates fear and that the word doesn’t exist in his dictionary. He menacingly tells the terrified staff to smile. His second-in-command then addresses the hostages, declaring that they aren’t interested in the “junior artists” but are there for the “main actor.” He reveals they are searching for Shivansh Randhawa. Another goon holds up a photograph of Shivansh for everyone to see. He threatens that if they don’t cooperate, the hospital’s power will remain off, life-support machines will fail, and countless patients will die. He warns that no one is allowed to move until they find their target.
In a dark corridor, Vimal cautiously makes his way to Room 7, using his phone’s flashlight. He finds the room and retrieves the vital injection from a drawer. As he turns to leave, he is confronted by a goon holding a pistol. The goon questions him, and a terrified Vimal denies being a ward boy. Without hesitation, the goon shoots him. The sound of the gunshot echoes through the hospital, causing the hostage staff to scream in panic. The goon drags the injured Vimal back to the main area. The leader, seeing Vimal on the floor, grabs him by the face, believing he will now be forced to tell the truth about Shivansh’s whereabouts.
Review
This episode was a high-octane thriller from start to finish. The writers have successfully created a tense and claustrophobic atmosphere by confining the action to a dark, powerless hospital. The “Die Hard in a hospital” plot is engaging and raises the stakes significantly for Prachi and Shivansh. The direction, with its use of shadows and flashlight beams, effectively enhances the sense of fear and uncertainty. The villains were genuinely menacing, particularly the cold and calculating leader. The shooting of the ward boy, Vimal, was a shocking and effective twist that immediately establishes the ruthlessness of the antagonists and isolates Prachi even further. The episode did an excellent job of building suspense, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats, anxious to see how Prachi will navigate this life-or-death situation.
