This episode, we meet Sitara and Laddoo Auntie - who have been welcomed as respected guests in the palace - after weeks of attempting to reason with the King, trying to exonerate Murkha & Raj who have been less fortunate, and accused of crimes they did not commit.
Meanwhile, Ash has devoted himself to decoding the horoscope bestowed upon him by his late grandparents, hunkering down in the palace’s astrology tower.
Murkha and Raj find themselves imprisoned in the depths of a crypt, fighting off increasingly intrusive thoughts and dark magics that surround them.
Will Ash crack his grandparents’ code, the last gift he’ll ever receive from his family? Will Sitara and Laddoo Auntie convince the King to grant Will Murkha and Raj their freedom? Will Murkha and Raj hold onto their sanity?
