🆕 EPISODE 7 ✔️

In 2005,
Shaurya Sabherwal woke up after being hit by a car to find himself in someone's home. He'd torn out his IVs and limped to the living room, where he'd seen a large portrait of the family who'd taken him in - an older couple with their adult son.
The house seemed empty, so he'd gone to the master bedroom closet and started stealing anything he could. Dr. Manchandani had walked out of the secret doorway carrying a tray of bloody bandages, and when Shaurya made a run for it, Dr. Manchandani and his wife had both chased after him.

Back in the present,
Rohit is home from the hospital.
He and Anokhi spent last night in very intimate activities, but in the morning, Anokhi wonders if Rohit had no Ritace but to do the things (she believes) he's done.
She thinks, "All I want from you is just one thing. A reason to forgive you."
She reaches out to touch his face and he grabs her hand, startling her, but he just says he had a dream. Anokhi gives him a new watch and lies that the police couldn't find his lost one after his kidnapping.

At breakfast, Rohit mentions that the lock on his workshop's basement door is broken.
Anokhi fibs that she did it while looking for Shakhi's old baby walker to give to a friend.
Rohit stifles his alarm, and Anokhi pretends she didn't find anything of note down there.

Meanwhile, Ahir and his coworkers marvel at the astronomical number if views he's gotten on social media for a video he made regarding the voice recording of a possible accomplice in the Kapurthala murders.
There are thousands of articles being written based on his video, and his phone is ringing off the hook.

While looking over the Manchandani family register, Anokhi reviews what she already knows - that Shaurya Sabherwal has been living as Rohit Manchandani for fourteen years, and that the real Rohit's parents have been in on it.
She overhears a pair of students watching Ahir 's video and watches it herself, and hears the altered voice telling Mrs. Ratna that she saw him the night Kanchan was kidnapped, but that he saw her, too.

In a flashback to May 12, 2002, we see that Mrs. Ratna has gotten into a fender-bender with another car.
She'd been drinking, so she'd offered the other driver her phone number in hopes of settling. Suddenly, Kanchan had burst out of the vehicle and attempted to escape, but the driver had talked to her as if she was his wife and had drunk too much, and had taken her back to his car.

Mrs. Ratna had gone to the police and the vehicle's license plate was matched to Tez Sabherwal's car, but Shaurya had provided a solid alibi, with evidence that they'd been at the movies together.

In a convenience store, Kitty sees Ahir on the news talking about the events of that night.
He says that Tez Sabherwal committed suicide two weeks later, and that Kanchan's thumbnails were found in his workshop with those of his other victims.
The case was closed, and not long after, Shaurya Sabherwal disappeared after killing the town foreman.

The voice recording is played again, and Kitty looks downright terrified.
She starts to run out of the store and bumps into a man who drops a bottle of wine, and the bright red splash reminds her of the blood when the foreman was killed.

Rohit seems to be the only one not watching the broadcast - he's in his workshop, replacing the broken lock with a strong new one.
He returns upstairs just as Anokhi is watching the end of the broadcast, and she offers to play the accomplice's voice for him, but he says he's too squeamish to listen to it.
Anokhi asks Rohit to set aside some time for her tomorrow then heads to bed.

As soon as he's alone, he goes outside to listen to the voice recording.
He calls Ahir , who's out celebrating with his coworkers, and tells him to stop implicating Shaurya Sabherwal and look into the idea that the accomplice may be someone else.
Ahir drunkenly objects to being bossed around by Rohit : "From now on, this case isn't your life. It's my life."
Rohit practically begs Ahir to believe him, but Ahir belligerently asks, "Or what? You'll lock me in the basement and threaten me again?" and says he can't trust Rohit.
