- With the help of the other animals, Mowgli makes it possible for Jumeirah and her family to escape, and, at the same time, manages to scare the villagers so badly that they do not attempt to even follow the fugitives. In order to avoid more problems, the animals then destroy the village and drive the humans out of the jungle.
- The tolling bells indicate that Baldev has returned from the forest.
Bagheera escapes from the village and again meets Akru and Pakdu, who see Lallan and Baldev returning to the village. The guards have left the hut to go to the pyre area. Mowgli uses the opportunity to open the doors of the hut. Since the whole village is gathered at the pyre, Mowgli is able to get the family to escape the hut under the cover of darkness.
Baldev and Lallan report to the village that Mowgli has fully & permanently turned into a beast and hence they were not able to capture him. Baldev says that by the time they aimed their guns at Mowgli, 3 more large beasts came to his aid and fought against Baldev and Lallan. Baldev and Lallan claim that they were totally surrounded, and they did not know which one of these beasts was Mowgli. Lallan claims that he and Baldev fought valiantly, but they could not defeat the evil forces even with all their might. The beasts ran away, and the last word Lallan heard from the beasts was "Bhola".
The villagers are further enraged that Bhola is in cahoots with the beasts. Meanwhile Mowgli has reached outside the village with his family and met with Bagheera. Mowgli sends word to Chameli via Pakdu that the family wants to go to Rajnagar, to Usha's brother's house. The family is scared of Bagheera and Akru, but Mowgli assures them that they are their friends.
Meanwhile, the villagers find the family missing from their hut. The villagers head to the jungle to find the family. Mowgli and Bagheera decide to stay back and engage the villagers, so that Akru can guide the family to twin peaks, the location where Chameli will meet them and guide them further to Rajnagar. Mowgli explains the whole situation to the family and asks them to trust his friends.
Mowgli and Bagheera then start making scary noises in the dark. The villagers panic and Baldev is petrified once again to hear the same noises. The villagers are so scared that they run back to their village At twin peaks, Chameli arranges elephants for the family to take them to Rajnagar. The whole pack accompanies the family to guide them to the city.
Mowgli and Chameli know that the humans will come back to the forest and will not relent till the jungle is destroyed. Mowgli suggests that they take help from Hathi, along with some deer and buffaloes to scare the humans and to keep them away from the jungle. Chameli agrees to the plan and the counterattack on the village is planned in 2 days' time. Mowgli assembles a large army of animals and heads to the village. The animals attack in full force. The elephants destroy the huts, while the boars eat away all the food and the standing crops in the agricultural fields. The villagers are scared out of their wits and there is complete pandemonium. Mowgli takes away Baldev's gun before he can shoot anyone and breaks it up. In a short time, the entire village is completely destroyed. Not even a single hut is left standing. The animals return to the jungle.
