The episode starts with Champa coming into the room where her parents are seated and telling them that she is a witch. Mangroo and Imarti try to console her and convince her that she is not a witch and that they would do anything to protect their daughter. They tell Champa that they have decided to pack their stuff and go to another village. Champa is worried and tells them that they do not have the means to sustain such an elaborate step and that the entire family would suffer because of her and they would lose their house as well. She adds that this would make her a bad daughter as well as a bad sister. Mangroo holds her and says that her parents will not let anything happen to her. Phulwa and the other kids rush to their elder sister and assure her that they are all ready to leave the village. Champa is however not convinced since the stigma will stay with her all her life, even if they went away to a far off place. She shakes off her parents and siblings and tells them that she is ready to suffer the punishment by the villagers and will accept it as God's wish. She keeps on iterating again and again that she is indeed a witch. Once she leaves the room, Imarti starts crying and slips down onto the ground. Mangroo is also helpless.
Phulwa goes to her neem tree and asks why her sister has to suffer so much in spite of being a good person. She also asks the tree that while the evil people are happy, its innocent people like her sister who is being made to suffer. She requests the tree to show them the way and save her sister's life. Ramsharan who was passing by hears her request and says that this is the first time, that he has heard anyone seeking help from a tree. Phulwa runs to him and holds him, with tears running down her eyes. She requests Ramsharan to save her sister somehow. Ramsharan tells Phulwa that she needs to find a way out instead since she was the one who had found the boat in the water and had united the village people. Phulwa is hapless and can think of no plan. She remembers the help that Ramsharan had extended to her family during Champa's marriage preliminaries. She suddenly stops Ramsharan who was going away and tells him that Ramsharan was right earlier to mention that they looked like gilli-danda actually. She goes onto say that in fact Champa would make a better pair with him and requests him to marry Champa so that she is saved and all her dreams come true. Ramsharan is shocked and tears fill his eyes; he is unable to say anything while Phulwa goes onto extol the virtues of her sister and how she is a good cook and an excellent homemaker. After a while, Phulwa requests Ramsharan to say something but Ramsharan refuses to marry Champa and pedals away from the spot. Phulwa shouts at him from the back and asks him whether he also considers her as a witch, just like the other villagers. She tells him that her Sister is not a witch. Blinking tears, Ramsharan goes away from the spot.
It is night. Hariya is digging the ground while Lakhiya and the Thakur's henchmen are keeping a watch over him. Lakhiya tells Hariya to hurry since the would-be bride would be arriving soon. One person collects stones in a container. Hearing this, Hariya starts crying but contuse with his digging.
Inside Mangroo's house, Champa is sitting in front of a mirror and looking at herself, her face devoid of any emotions. Imarti comes and tries to tell something but she keeps quiet, tears flowing down her eyes all the while. Phulwa looks inside the room through the window, crying as well. In the other room, Mangroo is crying and bangs his head against the bed post. Babu runs to him and stops him; Mangroo hugs him and his other daughter and cries.
Ramdai Kaki, Chachi and few other village women enter the room where Champa and Imarti are there. She gives a white dress to Imarti asking her to dress up Champa in that attire when they went to the hill the next morning. She adds that the dress will further enhance the bride's beauty. Phulwa rushes into the room and tries to push Ramdai kaki away, saying that her sister will not wear such a dress. Ramdai Kaki catches hold of Phulwa's arms but Champa requests her Mother to get her ready for the occasion. Ramdai tells Imarti to listen to her daughter since she was still practical in the given situation. She then asks Phulwa to learn something from her sister, as otherwise she would get into trouble next. Phulwa stares at Ramdai Kaki with hatred in her eyes. Ramdai throws the cloth at Imarti and goes away.
Meanwhile, Lakhiya and gang check the depth of the pit that Hariya has dug and comments that the top layer would reach till Champa's waist and that its fine. Hariya cries continuously as he hears such evil comments.
Once Ramdai Kaki and the others have gone, Champa tells her Mother that she has only one request left and that they should allow her to depart dressed as a bride only. Imarti is heartbroken and sits down, crying all the while. Phulwa rushes to her Mother and tries to console her. After a while, Imarti opens the door and steps out with Champa and Phulwa. Champa is dressed in a white loose tunic; the women gathered there shouts that the only way to save the village is to kill the witch. Champa is astounded.
Precap : Mangroo and family and others walk towards the designated spot. Champa, wearing her yellow marriage saree, steps into the pit while Hariya starts filling up the pit. Phulwa struggles against the men to reach her sister.
Observations – The girl playing Champa has done a great job. But the episode is simply too sad to watch. Monday is gonna be horrendous.
