Episode starts with Lakhiya returning home late at night, where Ramdei and Sona are waiting for him. Both of them taunt Lakhiya for losing to Babu and are worried that Lakhiya may even lose the main race the next day. Sona is worried that her husband will also lose the prize money and asks him whether he is bothered at all about his wife and her aspirations. Lakhiya loses his cool and picks Sona up and places her on the bicycle. Ramdei rushes to Sona's help and blasts her son for taking out his anger on Babu over Sona. Lakhiya turns around and enters the room and shuts the door behind him. Ramdei calls after him and requests him to open the door, telling him that they were simply making fun of him. She goes on to say that it being night time, dacoits may come and that she definitely didn't want to be out of the house, with her daughter-in-law. Lakhiya thinks of the turn of events during the day time and thinks of a plan to win the race the next day. He is excited about having his name announced as the winner of the race for the sixth time around.
The racing place has been brightly decorated and the participants are slowly gathering over there. Chunni has already reached the arena and wonders where Babu and Phulwa were. She hears an announcement requesting the participants to come and collect their numbers for the race. The announcer further says that if any participant arrives late and does not receiver his number, then the organizers are surely not to be blamed. Chunni walks over to the man distributing numbers to the participants and requests for a number tag. The man laughs, telling her that she cannot participate in the race. Chunni tells him that it is for her brother Babu who is somehow late to reach the racing area. A few villagers ask Chunni if it's the same Babu who had defeated Lakhiya the previous day. Chunni nods in affirmative; the man gives her the no. 15 tag for Babu. Chunni is happy, but is still worried seeing that Babu and Phulwa have still not reached the venue.
Next morning, Babu and Phulwa are getting ready to go to the race, Imarti is doing Babu's aarti; when Mangroo comes out and sees them. He is not at all happy. Babu walks over to him and bends down to touch Mangroo's feet, Mangroo backs away much to Babu's and Phulwa's surprise. Phulwa notices that Mangroo has the papers of the land in his hand. Mangroo tells Imarti that he is going to the Thakur's haveli to give the papers to him. The children go away to the racing arena. Mangroo is about to leave when Imarti tells him that he could have blessed his children. Mangroo tells her that though he wished to do so, yet his head stopped him from doing so. As a Father, he simply wanted the children to be safe and secure. He further tells Imarti that she has forgotten the duties of a wife. Imarti replies that she is fulfilling the duty of being a Mother and requests Mangroo to wait till the race is over. She agrees to accept the outcome of the race as their fate and tells her husband that if Babu loses, then she would herself go with Mangroo to give the papers for the land to the Thakur.
Babu and Phulwa are on their way to the venue when Phulwa tells Babu that she is yet to get blessings for Babu from the neem tree. She asks Babu to pedal to the venue while she rushes off to the neem tree. Lakhiya, on the other hand, is tying his cycle on top of his motorbike, while his Mother and wife fuss around him. He gets irritated and refuses to follow any rituals, saying that he will win the race on his own strength. He then leaves to go to the venue. En route, he sees Babu pedaling towards the same place. Lakhiya increases the speed of his bike, and once he reaches Babu, he kicks the boy. Babu falls down from his cycle. Lakhiya speeds off after telling Babu to get up from the ground and join the race, so that he could win the prize money and hence save their land from the Thakurs. Phulwa reaches the spot and sees blood flowing out from Babu's wound. She tries to use her dupatta to stop the blood from flowing but both the children are helpless.
Imarti hurriedly gives food to Mangroo and tells him that she is going to watch the race. Mangroo is surprised.
In the arena, the Thakurs arrive and the villagers cheer for them. The Sarpanch and others welcome them and announce that the race is about to begin. Chunni is surprised at Babu's absence; she sees Heera at a distance and decides to go and speak to him so that he can help the children participate in the race. She goes towards her Father but find the Jr. Thakur speaking to her Father. The Jr. Thakur thanks Heera for helping them in gaining control over Mangroo and family; and also tells him that Lakhiya has taken care of Babu in such a fashion that the child will not be able to participate in the race. He then gives some money to Heera and asks him to do as per their bidding. He also assures Heera that since now he is one of the Thakur's men, he wouldn't have to think about anything and that he should lead a comfortable life with his daughter. Chunni is stunned to hear all these, she moves away to a different spot and starts crying.
Meanwhile, Imarti and Phulwa are tending to Babu's wound when Mangroo comes in. he is upset to see Babu hurt, Phulwa tells him that Lakhiya has intentionally hurt Babu. From a distance they hear the final announcement for the race, asking the participants to report to the spot at once.
Precap : Babu's wound is cleaned and bandaged. He wants to go for the race. Mangroo picks him up and carries him inside. He then locks Babu inside the room, saying that he would not participate in the race.
