The episode is titled “Agni Pariksha,” symbolizing the trial by fire that the three sisters must undergo to protect their home and their heritage.
The Midnight Sabotage
The episode begins late at night. While the village sleeps, the developer’s henchmen set fire to the sisters’ makeshift school and the storage area where they keep the oil and lamps for the evening Aarti. The flames spread quickly toward their small hut. Ganga is the first to wake up. Instead of running for safety, she rallies Yamuna and Saraswati to form a human chain. In a powerful scene, the sisters use the very river water they worship to douse the flames, preventing the fire from reaching the main temple.
Yamuna’s Bold Stand
As the fire is brought under control, the henchmen attempt to flee. However, Yamuna has anticipated their move. She had earlier alerted the local village youth. They block the exit routes, and Yamuna, holding the stay order she obtained the previous day, warns the attackers that they are now not just guilty of land grabbing, but of attempted murder and arson. Her legal knowledge combined with her fierce protector persona leaves the goons intimidated.
The Stranger’s Secret Identity
The mysterious stranger from the previous episode, who was seen taking photos, intervenes during the chaos. He helps the sisters rescue some ancient manuscripts from the burning school. Later, he reveals his name: Ishaan. He admits he is not just a researcher but was sent by a secret trust that was established by the sisters’ mother years ago. He hands Ganga a small copper key, claiming it belongs to a “hidden chamber” beneath the Ghats that only the “true daughters of Ganga” can open.
Saraswati’s Vision
Throughout the episode, the youngest sister, Saraswati, remains unusually quiet. She tells her sisters that during the fire, she saw a vision of their mother standing in the middle of the river, pointing toward the old lighthouse. She believes the fire wasn’t an accident or just an attack—it was a “signal” that the time has come for them to uncover the truth about their lineage.
