Kaleen Bhaiya finally regains consciousness and Shatrugan sets a trap for Golu and captures her but doesn’t tell anyone.

Shatrugan tortures Golu but he does not have the courage to kill her. She figures out which brother he is and starts playing mind games with him.
Kaleen Bhaiya is nursed back to health and he gives Sharad advice from behind the curtain. A cabinet minister named Solankhi is Madhuri’s most vocal critic and openly defies her.

Saloni follows Shatrugan and discovers where he is hiding Golu. With his lie caught, he traps Saloni in there too, and scrambles to figure out a plan.
He burns someone else’s body and dumps it near Mirzapur so that people think Golu is dead. This pushes Guddu right over the edge and Madhuri and Sharad spot their chance.
They use Ramakant’s verdict to get Guddu to react irrationally, but before it can be read out, Robin speaks out claiming that he has the evidence which would help the case.
Guddu goes back home where his family is happy that the verdict has been delayed but he is angry that his family has pushed him away.

The opposition party is working with J.P. Yadav to get Madhuri out of the way and they expect Zarina to betray her.
