The episode is titled “The Poisoned Mirror,” focusing on the exposure of Shaoli’s latest scheme and the blossoming alliance between Noyon and the new doctor.
The Antidote’s Success
The episode begins with Noyon rushing into the room with the blue flower extract she gathered from the pond. Shaoli tries to block her, screaming that Noyon is trying to kill Choti Maa with “black magic.” However, Dr. Arghya steps in and takes the extract. He surprisingly supports Noyon, stating that ancient herbal remedies often hold the key to rare toxins. Within minutes of administering the extract, Choti Maa’s vitals stabilize, and she regains consciousness, much to the family’s relief and Shaoli’s hidden rage.
The Mirror Trap
Shaoli, realizing she is losing control, attempts to plant a bottle of the chemical toxin in Noyon’s room to frame her for the poisoning. However, she is unaware that Noyon has placed a small, consecrated mirror near her doorway. As Shaoli sneaks in, the light reflects off the mirror and catches Surjo’s eye from the hallway. He enters the room and finds Shaoli holding the bottle. Shaoli quickly lies, claiming she “found it under Noyon’s pillow,” but the look of doubt on Surjo’s face is deeper than ever before.
Dr. Arghya’s Warning
Later that evening, Dr. Arghya pulls Noyon aside in the garden. He reveals that he has been tracking a series of “mysterious illnesses” in families connected to Shaoli’s past. He warns Noyon that Shaoli isn’t just a manipulator; she is part of a larger syndicate looking to drain the Bose family’s assets. He hands Noyon a file containing a photograph of a woman who looks exactly like Shaoli but has a different name, suggesting a stolen identity.
Choti Maa’s Revelation
The climax occurs when Choti Maa calls Surjo and Noyon to her bedside. She is still weak, but she reveals that before she fainted, she saw Shaoli switching her daily vitamins with a different set of pills. Just as she is about to point to the drawer where the pills are hidden, the lights in the mansion go out. A struggle is heard in the dark, and when the lights return, the drawer is empty and Shaoli is seen standing by the window, looking “innocently” confused.
Major Highlights
- The Healing: Noyon’s herbal remedy saves Choti Maa, proving her spiritual guidance is real.
- The Framing Fails: Surjo catches Shaoli in Noyon’s room, making him question her intentions for the first time.
- The Secret File: Dr. Arghya provides Noyon with evidence that Shaoli is living under a false identity.
- The Missing Evidence: Shaoli manages to dispose of the poisoned pills during the power cut, but the seed of suspicion is firmly planted in Surjo’s mind.
Precap for Tomorrow:
Surjo demands that Shaoli show him her original passport to verify her identity. Panicked, Shaoli calls a mysterious contact to “arrange an accident” for Dr. Arghya before he can speak to the police. Meanwhile, Noyon has a vision of a fire breaking out in the temple room.
