Kabir and Maan play a cricket match for their college teams respectively. Kabir does splendid batting, but Maan, a mediocre player, somehow defeats the enemy team with his fielding. Maan becomes the man of the match. It is hard for even him to believe this. Meanwhile, Kabir is furious at Lata and calls her brother-in-law’s win as a fluke.

Lata returns home to a parcel addressed to her. Amit has gifted Lata his book of poetry. But, Lata’s mother is not happy to see this. On the first page, Amit has written a poem from the initials of her name.

Maan and Saeeda spend quality time together. But, Saeeda asks him to leave saying that his father needs him. Maan’s friend, Rasheed, and his absurd letters to Tasneem, bother Saeeda. Maan promises to help her in stopping Rasheed from doing so.

Maan and his father, Mahesh go to village Rudhia for election. Mahesh looks forward to winning the election this time.

Haresh writes a letter to Lata asking about her well being. He invites Lata’s family for a Christmas lunch at the Prahapore Club.

Lata’s family members chat in a room when Meenakshi invites them all for a dinner party at the Chatterjis. Amit longs to meet Lata again.

At the dinner party, Lata is in Amit’s room. They chat about literature. The Mehra’s and Chatterji’s have dinner together, where Amit, who is teased by his father and Lata’s mother for not having a “proper job” makes an argument that writing poetry is a proper job and no one should tell him what to do. Amit offers to take Lata to the Botanical Gardens day after tomorrow, but of course Mrs. Mehra immediately comes up with an excuse to avoid Lata getting close to Meenakshi’s brother. She says that they have to go to Prahapore the day after tomorrow to attend a luncheon with Haresh.

Maan and Mahesh chat while on their way to the village. Mahesh notices a great number of women under purdah saying that Rudhia needs more powerful women speakers. He wishes that his wife was here for the election campaign.

Firoz and his father, Nawab Sahib, welcome the two Kapoors in his big mansion with open arms. Nawab Sahib explains to Mahesh why he needs him to stand as his candidate. He says that he is not a politician himself, so he cannot go for election campaigns. Muslims are a minority and he is worried that he might lose the Hindu votes.

At night, during a mushaira, Nawab Sahib tells Mahesh about Maan’s bravery in saving Firoz. He says that Maan hides his good deeds from him instead of his sins. Maan feels proud to hear his appreciation in front of his father.

Kabir meets Malti in a café. He tells her that he cannot get Lata out of his mind. He fears that she might find someone else. He misses how happy he was with her and is ready to run away with her if that’s what she wants. Malti suggests to him to tell Lata this himself. Kabir considers her suggestion.

Haresh is anxious to make his luncheon perfect for Lata and her family. He has made some lavish arrangements for them. Mrs. Mehra loves the lunch party, but Meenakshi ridicules it. Mrs. Mehra invites Haresh for dinner on New Year’s Eve. Lata does not seem excited to meet Haresh.

The Mehras take a leave from Haresh’s lunch party. In the car, Arun and Savita chat about Lata’s marriage. Meenakshi asks Arun to drop her at the market as she has to run errands.

Meenakshi instead goes to meet Billy Irani, the man she is cheating on her husband with. They are seen in an intimate relationship. Irani is worried about his impending marriage. But, Meenakshi says it does not make a difference to their relationship. No doubt Meenakshi is such an evil woman!

Mahesh and Maan depart from Rudhia. Maan decides to take a trip to the neighbouring village where Rasheed and his family reside. While Mahesh is engaged in the election campaign, Maan visits Rasheed’s father. He is informed that Rasheed was thrown out of the house for giving his ancestral land to Kacheru, a fellow villager. He incited the farmers to revolt. Rasheed’s father says they have gone through grave circumstances because Rasheed has fallen in love with a girl and does not care about them anymore.

Meenakshi takes Lata to a New Year party. Amit is also present there. Amit and Lata go on a walk where Amit kisses her. Unfortunately, it just reminds her of Kabir. She requests Amit to drop her back home.

Next day, Kabir comes to meet Lata. But, outside her house, he meets Amit. Haresh also arrives at the same time. Haresh tells him that he hopes to marry Lata soon. He is welcomed in the house by Mrs. Mehra. But, she turns Kabir away. Kabir is left devastated.

Haresh and Lata have a conversation. He awaits Lata’s answer to his marriage proposal. Lata is still confused and wants more time to decide. When Haresh asks her out the next day, she declines his offer saying that she has planned to go to Botanical Gardens. Haresh asks her to cancel the plan, but Lata pleads with him to not be mean. This exasperates him and he leaves the house. Mrs. Mehra, on hearing this, says to Lata that she has ruined her future now.

Saeeda gets Tasneema’s love letter which Firoz wrote to her. Saeeda commands her to never meet that man again as he is not the right one for Tasneema. Saeeda calls for Firoz.

Maan goes to meet Rasheed. Rasheed is homeless and lives a horrible life. He takes out his frustration on Maan. He wants to marry Tasneem but thinks that everyone conspires against his wishes.

At night, Maan visits Saeeda Bai. But she asks him to leave as she expects someone at this time. Maan believes that she is having an affair with someone else. Saeeda Bai is hesitant to answer. Her hesitance angers him and he leaves. But, he spies outside the brothel to see who this special guest is. 

After some time, Firoz arrives at her doorstep. Saeeda greets him and asks him to never write to Tasneema again. When Firoz apologizes and justifies his honourable intentions, Saeeda confesses to him in a grieved tone that Tasneema is not Saeeda’s sister, but Firoz’s step sister. She says that she is the mother of Tasneema. She blames Firoz’s father for this mess. 

Tasneema listens to the conversation from behind the curtains and both Tasneema and Firoz sob. Maan enters the house and starts shouting at Saeeda. He becomes violent and Firoz tries to stop him. Maan’s anger is uncontrollable and he stabs a knife in Firoz’s stomach. Seeing him bleed, Maan comes back to his senses and asks for a doctor immediately. But, the maid asks him to leave as quickly as possible.

This episode has shattered every character’s life in some way or the other. I just hope that things fall in place in the last episode. I have really connected to this web series and I cannot see my favourite characters unhappy.

Episode Rating 4.5/5
