Where was the property, which the whole family was searching for, hidden? Who was the mysterious old man that Raghu had seen from the train? Will Anirban get away with murder? Why was Priyanka dreaming of her dead daughter's blue stilettos? Will the women in Kumaon save the trees by "hugging them?"
