The episode of “Bhagya Lakshmi” aired on 2nd September 2024, opens with a tense scene where Lakshmi confronts the terrorists, pleading with them to release Rishi and Ayush. Her voice filled with concern, Lakshmi asks Mayank, the leader of the group, to let her family go since she is the one they truly want. Ayush, who is deeply worried about Lakshmi’s safety, questions why she came to such a dangerous place. Ignoring Ayush’s concerns, Lakshmi bravely faces Mayank, demanding that he free her loved ones. However, Mayank, cold and ruthless, orders her to be silent and, shockingly, turns his gun towards Parvati.
In a flashback, we see Ojas instructing Mayank to bring Lakshmi to the lobby. Ojas, who has sinister plans, intends to manipulate Lakshmi into assassinating CM Sulochana. He tells Mayank that once Lakshmi is near the lobby, he will try to convince her to kill the Chief Minister. Ojas plans to use Lakshmi as a pawn, forcing her to publicly admit to the reporters that she is the one responsible for the CM’s murder.
Back in the present, Lakshmi is desperate as she sees Parvati’s life hanging in the balance. She tries to negotiate with the terrorists, promising them that she will no longer protect CM Sulochana if they release Parvati. She even assures Mayank that she will bring the CM to them. Her mind is racing with ways to save both Parvati and the CM without falling into the terrorists’ trap.
As Lakshmi heads towards the lobby, she is intercepted by Ojas, who stops her in her tracks. Lakshmi, now on the verge of breaking down, begs Ojas to spare her daughter and her family. Ojas, however, reveals a chilling change in plans. He tells Lakshmi that instead of just capturing CM Sulochana, she must now kill the CM herself, or else she will lose her daughter, whose body she might never even see again. This brutal ultimatum shakes Lakshmi to her core.
Rishi, witnessing Lakshmi’s turmoil, asks her what she is planning to do. Lakshmi, with a heavy heart, replies that nothing is more important to her than Parvati’s life. Yet, she is also determined not to harm an innocent person like the CM. Mayank, still skeptical of Lakshmi’s loyalty, hands her a gun and a phone, demanding that she carry out the assassination while on a video call so that he can watch CM Sulochana die. Lakshmi, realizing she has no other option, agrees to the plan. She insists on approaching the CM from the front, which Mayank agrees to.
Lakshmi then makes her way to where the reporters are gathered. They immediately question her about the gun in her hand, but before she can respond, a terrorist points his weapon at Anushka, forcing the police to allow Lakshmi to proceed without interference.
On her way to the servant quarters, Lakshmi runs into Mishra, a loyal aide to CM Sulochana. Mishra, who has overheard the terrorists’ plans, confronts Lakshmi, asking if she truly intends to kill the CM. Before Lakshmi can explain, Ojas, who is monitoring everything through the video call, warns Mishra to stay out of their way or face death.
Mishra, undeterred, declares his unwavering loyalty to the CM. Angered by this, Ojas orders Lakshmi to shoot Mishra. In a moment of tension, Mishra knocks the phone out of Lakshmi’s hand, urging her not to listen to Ojas. However, Lakshmi shoots at Mishra, and Ojas, only seeing the shot on the call, assumes Mishra is dead and praises Lakshmi for her obedience.
Finally, Lakshmi arrives at CM Sulochana’s location and, with a heavy heart, tells her that she must die. In a shocking turn, Lakshmi shoots at the CM, and Sulochana collapses in front of the reporters. Believing the CM is dead, Ojas approaches Lakshmi, accusing her of treachery. But Lakshmi, now full of resolve, reveals that she had to play along to expose the true mastermind—Ojas himself.
In a dramatic twist, CM Sulochana rises from the ground, unharmed. Lakshmi’s shot was a ruse, part of a plan to trap Ojas. Furious, Ojas tries to convince the CM not to trust Lakshmi, but Sulochana slaps him and praises Lakshmi’s bravery. Lakshmi explains that Mishra played a crucial role in their plan. Mishra, appearing before the crowd, reveals how they turned Ojas’ game against him. When Ojas attempts to shoot the CM in a final act of desperation, Sulochana swiftly throws dirt in his eyes, allowing the cops to apprehend him.
The episode ends with CM Sulochana expressing her gratitude to Lakshmi, vowing to be more cautious in the future. Lakshmi’s bravery and quick thinking have saved the day, turning the terrorists’ plan into their downfall.
