The episode, titled “The Pind vs. The Palace,” focuses on the aftermath of the village fair and the arrival of a rival suitor from London.
The Morning After the Mela
The episode opens at the Dhillon Farmhouse. Fateh (The Jatt) is seen repairing the tractor, but his mind is clearly on the dance he shared with Jasleen (Juliet) at the village fair. He finds a silk handkerchief she left behind and smiles. However, the peace is broken when his father, Sarpanch Baldev Singh, warns him that a girl like Jasleen—educated in London and accustomed to luxury—will never survive the dust and hard work of the Punjab countryside.
The Arrival of “Harry”
The tension shifts to the ancestral mansion where Jasleen is staying. Her father has invited Harry, a wealthy NRI businessman from London, to the village. Harry is the polar opposite of Fateh—he wears designer suits, hates the heat, and views the village as a “quaint museum.” He arrives with a marriage proposal, backed by the approval of Jasleen’s grandmother, who wants Jasleen to leave the “backward village” as soon as possible.
The Kabaddi Challenge
In an effort to show his “superiority,” Harry mocks the local sports. To defend the honor of the village, Fateh challenges Harry to a friendly match of Kabaddi. Harry tries to use dirty tactics, hiring local goons to weaken Fateh before the game. Jasleen finds out about the plan and rushes to the fields to warn Fateh, but she is caught in a rainstorm and her car gets stuck in the mud.
The Climax: The Rescue
The episode ends with a high-octane rescue. Fateh, sensing Jasleen is in trouble, leaves the Kabaddi ground and rides his horse through the muddy fields to find her. He rescues her just as her car begins to slide into a ditch. As he pulls her to safety, they share an intense moment in the rain. The final shot is of Harry watching them from a distance, realizing that Fateh isn’t just a farmer—he’s a man Jasleen would actually choose over a billionaire.
Major Highlights
- The Cultural Divide: Baldev Singh expresses his doubts about Jasleen ever fitting into a rural lifestyle.
- The London Rival: Harry is introduced as the antagonist who intends to take Jasleen back to England.
- The Sabotage: Harry’s attempt to fix the Kabaddi match reveals his true, manipulative character.
- The Heroic Save: Fateh chooses Jasleen’s safety over his pride in the Kabaddi ring, winning her respect.
Precap for Tomorrow:
Harry lies to Jasleen’s father, claiming Fateh insulted her in the fields. Enraged, Jasleen’s father forbids her from ever meeting Fateh again and announces her engagement to Harry for the following week. Meanwhile, Fateh finds a hidden letter in the farm records that proves Harry’s family actually owes a massive debt to the Dhillon family from the pre-partition era.
