Crash Landing on You: Episode 4

Things take a bit of a serious turn as we learn more about our leads and their pasts, which explains a lot about the way they live now. They both have a lot of secrets, and unfortunately, an enemy is closing in that's determined to uncover them. (And I was wrong - these aren't the captain's ducklings, they're obviously the lady's!)

EPISODE 4 RECAP

Shaurya travels with Anokhi to meet the ship that's supposed to take her home, but before they can make the switch, the Pakistani coast guard boards their boat and they're forced to hide in the hold. The new coast guard chief refuses to be bribed and orders the hold opened, and when he does, he sees Shaurya and Anokhi employing the (supposedly) Indian method of getting out of trouble - kissing.

Shaurya shows the chief his credentials and explains that he was just taking his fiancee out for some night fishing (and a little pre-wedding get-to-know-you fun, according to Anokhi, hee). It works, and the chief lets them off the hook. But he tells them to head back to shore immediately, making Anokhi miss her chance to go home.

She's furious, but she decides to stay positive and just think of herself as temporarily lost. She tries to make Shaurya promise to get her home within a week, but he says a "sea control order" has been issued and won't be lifted for around two weeks. Anokhi snaps that she just wants to be comforted, pointing out that Shaurya has no problem lying when it gets him out of a scrape like claiming her as his fiancee or kissing her.

Poor Shaurya stammers that she told him to do something, and he's flustered when she says it wasn't much of a kiss, ha. He's completely defeated by Anokhi's illogical logic, but he still refuses to make promises he can't keep.

Before dawn, Shaurya hears his gate slam, and when he checks the living room, Anokhi is gone. She takes her paragliding equipment (the ducklings salvaged it previously) and hikes to the top of a mountain, intending to try and paraglide home.

Before she launches, Shaurya catches up to her. He tells Anokhi that she landed here because there was a natural disaster, but it's a clear morning so she'll be seen and caught. He belatedly realizes that her walkie-talkie is on, just as Vineet arrives at the State Security Department and is informed that a suspicious transmission has been pinpointed.

Knowing that it will only take a few minutes for the authorities to arrive, Anokhi tells Shaurya to stay here while she goes down and turns herself in. Shaurya points out that he'll be in trouble anyway since they think he's her fiance, so he looks for another way out. He can see the military vehicles approaching, so he grabs Anokhi tightly and throws them both off the edge of the mountain.

Anokhi's parachute catches, and they gently float together through the air. Anokhi apologizes for taking her frustration out on Shaurya earlier, and thanks him for everything he's done for her. By the time Vineet arrives at the mountaintop, they're long gone.
