Along with Parvati, several other members of the community start to fall ill at the start of Shantaram episode 7. There is panic all around and Prabhu and Lin make it to Qasim's place. He reveals that it is a bout of Cholera, something that Lin had deduced too. Qasim pacifies Lin that they have dealt with this before and will do it again. He assigns various chores to everyone in the community. It will have to be a collective effort to take the disease down. Lin promises Prabhu he will not leave before curing the patients and making sure that the loss of life is limited. Pandey and Sunita take a vacation in Lonavla. A bearded man, wearing glasses keeps an eye on them from afar. Sunita asks Pandey to make her his secretary and rebuffs his plans to move to Canada. Because he has taken money from Walidbhai, he will never be able to leave India. Everyone in Sagarwada plays their roles. They have faced cholera before and are doing everything to the set plan to make sure that the sick get fine soon. It is all new for Lin, who watches on with bated breath. He also learns the meaning of the word jugaad, something that Indians are notorious for doing for solving problems. It is a quick fix to something, without being a trustworthy sustainable solution. Lisa is upset with Sebastian about the thing with Raheem and he is apologetic. She sees it in their plan of moving away but it is unlikely she will remain with Modena. The man following Pandey was actually Khader's and he reports that Sunita is a low-caste whore. He saw her in the brothel outside the city. This throws everyone off. They must come up with a way to keep her safe and under their watch to use Pandey. Madame Zhou seems like a good decision and Karla reluctantly accepts. Zhou expects Khader to kill her but instead, he writes off her debt if she agrees to keep Sunita. Zhou suggests that they buy more than three girls from the other place so as to kill any suspicion. Khader agrees and leaves Karla with her to see the operation through. This episode provided an opportunity for Shubham Saraf, who plays Prabhu, to showcase his talents. He certainly did not disappoint and kudos to the makers for bringing into focus their love story. It is something redeemable that we all can enjoy in the rather dark world of Bombay. Karla and Lisa too made significant strides about their future and the show finally seems to be gathering pace for something explosive. Watch out, as the Shantaram train is firing on all cylinders! Lin finally does something for the people beyond Qasim's approval. His timely jugaad did save many lives but have the people leveraged their future to Khader? When the time comes, will they realize that they have let the monster be? That is, only if you see Khader as the evil guy. His balancing act actually says otherwise right now. It is a fine line between good and bad on the scale of morality and Khader is jumping across quite frequently. We all waited for Lin to do something that goes against the rules to do good. Episode 6 made that a reality.
