This episode of “Nayan Tara” delves deeper into the central conflicts and mysteries surrounding Nayan Tara and the family she’s now intertwined with. The episode begins with a look at the priest and Thakur Maa, as the priest leaves he mentions to her, “That girl speaks to ghosts”. It is clear that the woman’s supernatural abilities has been spread amongst those on the spiritual side of the family, and is now the source of much interest, both kind and malicious.
The weight of these expectations is palpable on Nayan Tara, seen in her tearful confession to her mother figure, Thakur Maa. Nayan Tara, clad in traditional attire that marks her as a bride or a sacred figure, expresses her fears and inadequacy in the face of the immense responsibility placed upon her.
Thakur Maa then tells Nayan Tara that it is because she has these abilities that her past mother figure even brought her here. This is where Nayan Tara is at her best: she relives her past where she sees herself clinging to Thakur Maa’s dress. But she is also reminded that she is a burden and a tool to those that will manipulate her into keeping them safe.
This leads to a conversation with the two sisters. Nayan Tara wants to provide two saris as a gift. Not wanting to leave, Thakur Maa tells her, “That’s enough, you look tired”.
After the two leave, she heads out into the night where we meet one of the husbands of her family. He is on the phone and the person on the other side has a big issue if Nayan Tara sees their plan. His sister tries to sway him by making him feel bad by suggesting Nayan Tara is nothing to him, and the husband explains that there has to be balance. He offers his sister the power to deal with things as she see fit.
A short flashback confirms that the couple from before were involved in some type of tragedy with someone in the lake, and they were discussing Nayan Tara being too close to it. Back in the present, the aunt is talking to Surjo, telling him to go and find out what that woman knows. She then says a strange riddle, “For the sake of the safety of Surjo, a Grahan would be necessary”. Nayan Tara is confused at what she means.
Finally, there is the scene between Surjo and another man named Sayan, from this we can infer that not only did Surjo promise that he would find this family a protector from the supernatural, but is also marrying her as well. He also finds out that Nayan Tara can speak to spirits, and that this information came from his aunt. Realizing she can trust him, she heads into a car where Nayan Tara finds herself holding a flower to keep him healthy, implying that the person who died in the water died from her protector ability.
