The climactic episode of Mirzapur Season 3, titled "Pratibimb," commences with Golu's return to the devastated factory, a stark reminder of Guddu's arrest. Upon learning of her father's tragic suicide, Golu is devastated, her heart shattered. The news of Guddu's arrest compounds her sorrow, and she resolves to take control of the situation. She urgently calls Satya, requesting a meeting with J.P. Yadhav. Determined, Golu offers to pay whatever amount Yadhav demands, desperate to meet with him and devise a plan to rescue Guddu.
Meanwhile, Mridul escorts Zarina to a clandestine meeting, where the mysterious client is revealed to be J.P. Yadhav himself. Yadhav cunningly proposes a deal to Zarina, urging her to turn against Madhuri and promising her a position in his political party, headed by Kushwaha. Greedily, Zarina seizes the opportunity, agreeing to become Yadhav's next contender for the Chief Minister's post of Uttar Pradesh. She even agrees to spend the night with him, as she had already been paid handsomely for her services.
The following day, Madhuri unveils a statue dedicated to her late father, the former Chief Minister S.P. Yadhav. Little does she know that Zarina has already begun her treacherous scheme. She brings together all the MLAs that Yadhav had been luring away from Madhuri's party, bringing them to Sharad's attention. Kushwaha, shocked to learn of Zarina's betrayal, confronts her. However, Sharad assures Kushwaha of his unwavering support for Madhuri, urging him to keep Yadhav in check.
As J.P. Yadhav engages in a crucial meeting with Kushwaha, Golu unexpectedly arrives, imploring him to assist in freeing Guddu from confinement. She reveals a scheme aimed at dismantling Madhuri's influence, one that Yadhav embraces with enthusiasm, seeing it as an opportunity to undermine the Tripathis and Sharad. Enlisting the aid of Home Minister Solanki, who harbors his own grievances against Madhuri, Yadhav listens intently as Golu outlines her plan to liberate Guddu.
Meanwhile, Dimpy confronts Madhuri, presenting her with damning files amassed by Ramakant against Sharad, including video footage capturing Sharad's men terminating her father's life. With a heavy heart, Dimpy entrusts Madhuri with the evidence, praying that she will make the right choice.
Madhuri, devastated by Sharad's betrayal, summons him for a confrontation that evening. She probes him relentlessly, hoping to elicit a confession of his past misdeeds. Instead, Sharad feigns innocence, claiming that Kaleen is alive and under his protection, rather than admitting to her father's murder. Madhuri demands a meeting with Kaleen, but she also begins to distance herself from Sharad.
As the night draws near, Madhuri prepares to reveal to Beena that Kaleen is alive, only to realize that Beena is concealing details of her relationship with Guddu and Golu. Intrigued, Beena urges Madhuri to arrange her return to the Tripathi residence, leaving Madhuri with even more questions than answers.
In the midst of the turmoil, Sharad earnestly requested Kaleen to arrange a meeting with Madhuri. He confessed that Kaleen had become a fatherly figure to him and he desired to bridge the divide between the Tripathi and Shukla clans. In response, Kaleen vowed to crown Sharad as the successor to his Mirzapur throne.
Unwavering in his resolve, Kaleen made his way to Madhuri. There, she revealed that Sharad had assassinated her father to gain access to Kaleen. With a steely gaze, Madhuri informed Kaleen that she had taken Beena and her newborn son captive. She issued an ultimatum, threatening the safety of his family unless he complied with her demands. She even went further, mentioning that Guddu was in her custody and offered Kaleen a chance to avenge Munna's death by eliminating him.
As the night unfolded, a gathering of the dons was about to proclaim Sharad as the King of Purvanchal. Just as Sharad was poised to ascend the throne, Kaleen approached him, reminding him of their promise. But in a swift and unexpected move, Kaleen drew his gun and fired at Sharad, cutting his ascent short. Not content with just that, Kaleen turned his weapon on the other dons, including Munnawar, showering them with bullets.
IG Dubey, emerging from the shadows, carried out his part of the bargain with Madhuri, eliminating the remaining dons. While some fled in panic, Sharad, despite being gravely wounded, somehow managed to drag himself to the throne and took his seat as the last King of Mirzapur. However, his reign was fleeting, as he passed away on that throne, a king unto the end.
Madhuri led Beena to Kaleen, who was stunned to see her alive. Embracing her tightly, Kaleen held Lalla in his arms and offered a reassuring hug to Beena. Determined to fulfill his agreement with Madhuri, Kaleen headed to the prison to eliminate Guddu. But upon reaching, he discovered that Guddu had already escaped, leaving Kaleen with an unfulfilled vengeance.
