The episode, titled “The Truth at the Threshold,” focuses on the arrival of the mysterious witness and Rajeshwari’s desperate attempt to maintain her empire.
The Witness at the Gate
The episode opens with the arrival of the truck driver, Shankar, at the mansion gates. He is the man whose name appeared on the payment receipt Binddii found. Bikki tries to intercept him with a bag of cash, but Arjun arrives just in time, blocking Bikki’s path. Arjun makes it clear: the time for bribes is over. He escorts Shankar into the main hall where the entire family is gathered.
Rajeshwari’s Final Gambit
Seeing her son turn against the family interests, Rajeshwari changes her tactics. She stops faking illness and adopts a position of cold authority. she tries to discredit Shankar, claiming he is a disgruntled former employee of Binddii’s father who is out for revenge. She threatens Binddii with a defamation lawsuit, but Binddii remains unfazed, holding the digital records she sent to the Commissioner as her shield.
Shankar’s Confession
Under the pressure of Binddii’s gaze and Arjun’s promise of police protection, Shankar breaks down. He reveals that he was hired not just to cause an “accident,” but to retrieve a specific blue diary from Binddii’s father. He points directly at Bikki, stating that Bikki was the one who handed him the final payment. However, he drops a bombshell: Bikki wasn’t the mastermind; he was taking orders from someone “even higher” in the Mehra hierarchy.
The Climax: The Blue Diary
The episode ends with a dramatic search. Binddii realizes that if her father had a diary, he would have hidden it in the one place the Mehras never go—the old outhouse where she first stayed. She rushes there and finds the Blue Diary hidden inside a hollowed-out leg of a wooden table. As she opens the first page, she sees a photograph of a young Rajeshwari with a man who looks exactly like Binddii’s father. The final shot is of Binddii’s face turning pale as she realizes the “Land Dispute” was actually a cover for a deep, dark family secret regarding her own lineage.
