The episode is titled “The Secret of the Ancestors,” focusing on the discovery of the ancient drainage tunnels and Ganga’s first move to reclaim the village’s dignity.
The Submerged Orphanage
The episode opens with the heartbreaking sight of the orphanage partially submerged in muddy water. The children are huddled on the roof of the “Purani Haveli.” Ganga and Shivani work tirelessly to distribute the little dry food they saved. Ganga notices that while the village is flooded, the water isn’t receding as it should; she realizes the natural outlets have been blocked by the debris from Thakur’s illegal construction.
The Ancient Map
While drying out the documents from the “Ancient Chest,” Ganga finds a hidden blueprint of the village. It reveals a sophisticated underground drainage network built centuries ago to protect the temple and the surrounding lands from the Ganga’s overflow.
Ganga realizes that the main “Master Valve” for this system is located directly beneath the foundation of Thakur’s new (and currently empty) luxury resort.
The Heist for the Key
To activate the drainage, they need a specific iron lever that was taken by Thakur’s ancestors and kept as a “trophy” in the main mansion. In a daring move, Shivani and two older girls use a small rowboat to sneak into the flooded lower floors of Thakur’s mansion while his guards are distracted by the storm. They manage to find the lever, but just as they are leaving, Pratap returns to the mansion to retrieve his hidden cash. A tense game of hide-and-seek ensues in the dark, water-logged hallways.
The Climax: Opening the Floodgates
The episode ends with Ganga and the villagers reaching the resort’s basement. Using the lever, Ganga turns the ancient mechanism. With a deafening roar, the ground vibrates as the centuries-old tunnels open. The water begins to whirlpool down, draining the village at an incredible speed. The final shot shows the water receding from the orphanage just as a news helicopter from the city arrives, capturing the miraculous drainage and the girls standing victorious in the mud.
Major Highlights
- The Ancestral Blueprint: Ganga discovers that the village has a built-in defense mechanism against floods.
- The Mansion Break-in: Shivani risks her life to steal back the “Master Lever” from Thakur’s estate.
- The Engineering Marvel: The ancient drainage system is successfully activated, saving the village from permanent water damage.
- Media Presence: The arrival of the press ensures that Thakur cannot hide the disaster or the girls’ heroism anymore.
Precap for Tomorrow:
As the water clears, the news reporter interviews Ganga. She publicly accuses Thakur Digvijay of sabotaging the dam and blocking the natural flow of the river. Enraged, Thakur tries to frame Ganga for “theft of historical property” (the lever). Meanwhile, the receding water reveals a shocking secret—a skeleton caught in the drainage pipes, wearing a ring that belonged to Ganga’s long-lost father.
