Pragati is crying in her room when Gunn comes in. She tells her that she believes Pragati did nothing wrong. They hug. Tanu also comes in.
Rajo is talking to some woman about yet another party when she sees Janki come in. She is surprised. Janki says that she was passing by and wanted to come and see them. She asks Mayuri how she is, but there is no response. Rajo goes to make coffee and leaves Mayuri and Janki alone. Janki goes up to Mayuri and asks her about the painting again. Suddenly she notices that the painting is not on the wall - in its place is an uneven nail hanging out. She asks Mayuri where the painting is, and Mayuri points to something on the coffee table. Janki cannot figure out what it is until the camera focuses on the reflection of the painting in the glass. Janki spots the painting hung in another room- she wonders why it has been moved. Rajo turns up with coffee. Janki subtly asks her where the painting is. Rajo says that she has moved the painting, and tomorrow it will go to the City Museum for display.
At night, Janki relays the details to Narayani Devi. She is certain that the painting is connected to Mayuri somehow. She says that the exhibition at the City Museum will start at 9 pm tomorrow, but she has to get there before and analyse the painting for clues first. Janki is adamant that she will discover the raaz behind the painting, and Narayani is concerned. After hanging up the phone, she calls her mystery dude and tells him that "Parvati"'s next step is dangerous for them (so he obviously knows she is Paro and not Janki). She says that they have to stop her. (so, lemme get this straight - this painting is a problem for Shikar, Narayani and the mystery dude, assuming the mystery dude is a third person. Hmmm....so are all three/two responsible for Mayuri's condition? Imagine if Mayuri was Narayani's granddaughter!!)
Shikar is talking to himself about the painting. He calls someone and arranges the theft of the painting for tomorrow night.
Maithili is reading the paper in her room, when her bro comes and snatches it. He wants to see his lottery result. Bheem and Tiny come there. They talk about the lottery for a while and discuss what they would do with the money. By accident, Tiny says that the dude (Araya or something) cannot walk. He is sad for a bit, but Pranay comes there and solves the problem. The dude, Bheem and Tiny go outside, and Maithili thanks Pranay for being nice to Araya. Pranay comes and again talks about Mallishka...blah blah blahđ¤˘
Maithili is naturally getting uncomfortable. (What is with this guy? He's picked up Rajo's habit of repeating every dialogue 20,000 timesđđ "itni bindaas hai...itni bindaas hai...itni bindaas hai"đđ). Pranay leaves and Maithili cries again.
Shikar tells his goons the plan and shows them the blueprints.
At the police station, the cops open the box they found and see a skeleton in it (I KNEW IT!! This is going to be Ashu's remains, mark my words!! He's been missing for so many years, and NO ONE, but NO ONE knows where he is? Well, what's the bet that this is where he is?)
The cops say that the body has been chopped into tiny pieces and stuffed in here (Shikar, how could you?đ¤˘) - they send the skeleton for forensic identification.
Narayani is still trying to dissuade Janki from the painting issue, but Janki is adamant. Narayani plays the mother trump card, but Janki reminds her that Mayuri is her daughter and she needs to help her. Narayani is exasperated and tries to explain but Janki cuts her off. (In that one tiny dialogue and body language of Narayani - "Ab main tumhe kaise samjhaon" - I felt like she is ON Janki's side and not against her. It seems as if they are trying to protect Janki. I may be wrong, but that was my gut instinct.)
Janki wants Narayani's aashirwad but Narayani is still worried (and again - I sensed a real concern for her. Lol, I sound as if I am an expert on the subjectđđ but I may as well be - anyone who has watched Ekta's shows long enough qualifies as an expertđ). Janki is worried, but eventually Narayani smiles and wishes her. Janki leaves.
Janki leaves in her car, and a car follows her. The song Aaj ki Raat plays(reserved for very special occasions in Kahaani - Krishna's death, Trishna's first party after the leap and now: this song transcends fashion and timeđđ).
Janki is still trying to decipher the secret of the painting in her mind while she drives. Finally, she arrives, but before she can get out, a hand covers her mouth. Someone was in her car. She struggles but I guess the cloth had chloroform on it, because she is rendered unconscious.
The car that was following her pulls up, and Narayani is in it. (How did she get into the car so quickly? She was supposedly sitting in the car when Janki arrived from inside, but that's impossible!đ). Then, the man who was holding the cloth and who made Janki unconscious is shown. Guess who?
Mr. Suyash Mehra!!
He comes out and tells Narayani that her daughter is proving a nuisance to them. She will ruin the plan if they are not careful. He tells her to take Janki home, and that he will call her with the next step of the plan (why is he pulling the strings?)

Comments: Well, of all the people we linked to Narayani, did anyone think of him? Vaise, I never liked him, there was always something off about him. He obviously knows that Janki is Parvati though - because Narayani said her real name on the phone. BUT, before you all go condemning the guy, let's consider this. We have TWO options ahead of us - either Suyash has been evil all this time and roped in Narayani (in jail) to destroy Janki. This would lead us to the logical conclusion that he did have a hand in killing Om, and this is why he never showed up in court to save Parvati.
ON THE OTHER HAND, never take things at face value. It could be that Suyash sent Maasi to Parvati in jail all those years ago to help her out w/o her knowing. Parvati would never have accepted help from him knowingly. That would mean that he is on Janki's side, as is Narayani. Then, this whole drama is a)to confuse the audience, and b)because there is something fundamentally wrong in the painting issue that will harm Janki. EDIT: Do you think it has something to do with Shikar's plan to steal the painting? They planned to steal it at 8.30, and the exhibition starts at 9 and Janki wanted to get there early, so the timeline does make sense. And I knew Shikar was an axe murderer beforehand, but this could explain why Narayani and Suyash don't want Janki to see the painting...
Either way, we cannot make a proper decision until we know more.
Also, there is the small consideration of the blanket man - is he with Suyash and Narayani? Or if S/N are evil, is he on Janki's side? And seriously, I am really starting to believe that Shikar killed and chopped up Ashu and buried him in the trunkđ¤˘
