Kanpur reels under the effect of extreme heat. Anita's skin turns red in the heat. She demands that Vibhuti bring a cooler, but the coolers and air conditioners are out of stock. Angoori bathes frequently for relief. With the electricity gone, the Tiwaris and the Mishras spend the night outdoors. Manmohan uses the 'hand-fan' to relieve Anita's suffering and Vibhuti does likewise to Angoori. In the morning, Daroga brings the news of the forecasted escalation of heat in the next three days.
