15/03 WU - Arjun puts his plan into action

Episode begins with Arjun telling Thakur the bag of colour in his hand is poisoned. Thakurayn takes him away to AP dancing. Thakur comments that even if Arjun cannot complete his task, he was kill her anyways - gesturing to a gun holster under his kurta.

Phulwa tells Arjun to consider them his own and play Holi with them. As Abhay reaches out for his hand, Arjun pushes it away with a distraught expression and walks away. Evil trio watch. Phulwa comments that he's probably still grieving.

Babu suddenly calls for attention, saying that he's fallen in love and rangs Gauri. He asks her to sing a song. Thakurayn comments, "Look at that Gauri, leaving such an eligible bachelor as my lalla for any random guy" (LOLLL buajee never fails to make my dayXD) Both Babu and Abhay insist on Gauri to sing, and she sings the Phulwa theme song. She hears the song and starts to cry, wanting to walk away as Babu holds her back.

FB of the young Phulwa playing with other kids, helping Babu ride a bike, sleeping next to her mother, her parents and her family - her childhood. Trio walk away from the scene as does Phulwa herself.

A small hand grabs her as little Phulwa appears behind her. She kneels down as the little Phulwa smilingly offers her the neem ki patti, putting it into her hand. Abhay comes up from the back and little Phulwa points to him. As Phulwa turns back, she's no longer there. Phulwa gets up and hugs him as he brings her back to the crowd.

Arjun watches everything with a sad expression on his face, thinking "How can anyone love her so much, whose roots are so evil? She's my brother's murderer! I will take away the happiness of the one who took my brother's happiness."

Back in the haveli Thakur comments that Arjun's a total duffer wasting his time not carrying out his plan. Sharbati says they should support him not to fail. Gauri appears by the doorway and starts to listen to the rest of the speech. Thakur says that Arjun is already part of his plan, wrongly believing that Phulwa has killed Shankar - which is why he's trying to kill Abhay. Thakur notices her and gestures to bua and Sharbati to go out. As Gauri is about to go tell Phulwa she gets confronted by them. She starts to shout for Phulwa while Thakur covers her mouth and bua brings her into the haveli.

Outside the rest are enjoying Holi. Phulwa complains to dadi that Abhay's fear of pakka rang doesn't let her enjoy Holi. Abhay says he isn't afraid, but he just doesn't like it. She notices Babu sitting alone, asking where's Gauri? Babu says he doesn't know either. They show bua and Sharbati tying up her hands and mouth. Babu goes into the haveli to look for her as Thakur walks out, neither notice each other. Babu walks in calling for her; in the room she knocks down a vase to catch his attention. Bua and sharbat hold her down as Babu looks up at the rooms suspiciously. As they open the doors, Babu is seen standing outside and sees Gauri all tied up inside. They try to escape but he frees her and locks them in. She tells him about the poisonous colour Arjun brought for Abhay.

Outside, Arjun is seen mixing the colour into water (the whole field is empty) as Phulwa walks up to him. He happily tells her that this is the pakka rang she can put on Abhay. As she's about to put her hand into the bucket, he stops her saying that Abhay will understand its pakka rang if it gets onto her. Thakur watches from a distance. Arjun warns her not to let anyone take it as he has brought it specially for them. He goes to bring Abhay over to her itself.

Thakur goes to tell Abhay Phulwa is calling for him at the yard. As Arjun is walking to Abhay, Babu and Gauri stop him halfway. As he tries to leave Babu punches him and the two start fighting as Arjun brandishes a knife. As Arjun says that she killed his brother, Babu shouts that it is a lie - he was there when Shankar had been killed.

@Precap: Phulwa throws the bucket of water at Abhay and he starts to choke and falls to the ground while Thakur watches with amusement from afar.

Well, as my last update for this show I'd like to say it's been an enjoyable experience for all this time. In this episode, personally I loved the bit with little Phulwa. It was really important to bring her back, to remind us who this story is truly about. We spent half our time watching a little girl groe up, have her childhood destroyed by an evil man and be forced to become a dacoit. Reminding her of who she used to be and finally showing that she's meant to be with Abhay forever was a wonderful touch:)

@Precap: I guess Arjun would have to do something to save Abhay itself. Or maybe they'll show that he changed the water beforehand and Abhay's pretending in front of the Thakur? Whatever it is I want a LOOONG episode tomorrow!:)
