As social media has shown recently, Neeraj Pandey’s latest and ongoing show, ‘The Freelancer,’ has truly been creating waves. With everything from a highly intricate plot to a star-studded cast, this show can be considered to be the best of everything in showbiz.
In particular, the sudden cliffhanger of the last episode really excited fans and loyal viewers. The show has several intertwining sub-plots and secrets that are yet to be revealed, and this has only made the audience even more eager to know what is going to happen next.
As of now, four episodes of ‘The Freelancer’ are out. Released on the 1st of September, 2023 (Friday), it has a runtime of around 40-55 minutes, and is available on the streaming platform Disney+.
It’s quite clear that with such buzz around the show, the next episodes will be released soon. So before we can get into The Freelancer Episode 6, let’s first go back to what has happened in previous episodes, and what also implications that has for the story as a whole.
Everything That Happened Till Episode 6 of The Freelancer
The story itself begins in a rather shocking yet intriguing way, as did the show teaser as well. One part of it revolves around the life of Aliyah Khan, a 21-year-old girl who has recently married Mohsin Fazal with the expectations of a blissful married life.
However, as the plot proceeds, we see how Aliyah’s life is turned completely onto its head as Mohsin and his family turn out to be religious radicals whose beliefs and actions fall into line with those of ISIS.
After essentially capturing Aliyah and taking her with him to an ISIS-controlled region, it slowly becomes obvious that Mohsin’s plans are about to get even more vicious and evil. All the while, Aliyah has only one person to depend on- the Freelancer, solo mercenary Avinash Kamath.
Part 1 of the show left us with many mysteries to wonder about. From Inayat Khan’s suspicious ‘suicide’ to the issue with Mohsin’s brother, the coming episodes have much to unravel and connect. In Episode 5, Avinash will not only uncover some shocking revelations about his close friend and ex-colleagues death but also continue with determination in his fight to get Aliyah out and keep her safe.
Keeping in contact with Dr. Arif Khan and relying on him time and again, the Freelancer will also venture into highly dangerous, crazy, difficult situations and places to get as much intel as he can about Mohsin and his motives. In the meantime, Aliyah, too, is constantly trying to find any opportunity, any window, to get information back to Avinash to help them get closer to her escape.
Displaying a lot of patience, critical thinking, and cooperation, even in such life-threatening situations for such a young person, is far from easy and shows how thoughtfully Aliyah’s character has been written. Another aspect worth keeping an eye on is how Mrunal and Avinash’s interactions can be crucial to the story, too.
The Freelancer Recap & Predictions
So, where does the story continue from here? It’s safe to say that Episodes 5, 6 & 7 are going to offer a lot of major reveals in terms of the plot. For one, the biggest (and perhaps most vital) mystery of the show will take the main stage in this episode.
Avinash, having finally discovered that Inayat’s death was a staged murder, takes it upon himself to find who was responsible for this orchestrated catastrophe. If that wasn’t dangerous enough, he also actively chooses to avenge his friend’s death – but what exactly he intends to do, we will soon find out.
Since flashbacks play an active role in this show, we will also get some more insight into the Freelancer’s past. What he used to do, the consequences of his actions, and what his past life was will all be shown to us bit by bit through a series of flashbacks.
At the same time, Aliyah’s situation in Syria is not getting any better but rather much, much worse. Her captors seem to be treating her with a newfound intensity of cruelty, which only means one thing for Avinash- the danger to her life is imminent now more than ever, with Mohsin’s every action acting like a ticking time bomb.
