The episode opens with an intense scene as Dadi performs a traditional dance, trying to entertain the Dayan and keep the family spirits high. However, the family members watch with heavy hearts, feeling a mix of sadness and concern for Dadi’s well-being. In the midst of this, Batty takes a decisive action by erasing the protective chakra that surrounds them, which only adds to the tension in the air. Gauri, sensing the danger, urgently tells Vihaan to wake up, warning him that Mohana is mocking his family and that they are in a perilous situation.
As Harsh and Arjun observe the aftermath of Batty’s actions, they notice that the protective line has been rubbed away. They quickly rush to inform Gauri of this alarming development. Gauri, determined to save Dadi, declares her intention to bring the Pratham Vanshi into the house to help protect them. With a fierce resolve, she gathers the ashes of the Pratham Vanshi in her hands, a symbol of power and protection, and boldly slaps one of the Dayans, making it clear that she will not back down.
Dadi, sensing the shift in energy, suddenly awakens, and Gauri takes the opportunity to guide her back to the safety of the protective line. Confronting Mohana directly, Gauri challenges her, stating that if she wants to cause trouble, she should take it up with Rishwa instead. Gauri’s defiance escalates as she challenges Mohana to defeat her at any cost. As the atmosphere grows tense, dark clouds gather overhead, signaling the onset of Pralay—a catastrophic event that threatens their very existence.
Meanwhile, Sia communicates with the Pratham Vanshi, expressing her concern that Gauri is doing everything she can to protect them, but time is running out. The Pratham Vanshi, aware of the impending doom, warns Sia that the world has little time left, as the final moments are approaching, and Vihaan remains preoccupied with the yagya, unaware of the chaos unfolding around him.
Back in the confrontation, Gauri faces off against a Dayan who arrogantly claims superiority over Dadi because of her age. Gauri, undeterred, calls the Dayans murderers, demanding that they respect her elder instead of forcing Dadi to dance for their amusement. The Dayan challenges Gauri, suggesting that if she has the courage, she should endure the same treatment they impose on Dadi. Mohana then steps in, warning Gauri that if she wants to fight, she must first defeat Laksha; if Gauri succeeds, she may save one family member, but if she fails, the consequences will be dire for everyone.
Dadi, concerned for Gauri’s safety, implores her not to engage in combat. However, Gauri insists that she needs Dadi’s blessings to channel her inner strength for the battle ahead. Dadi, recognizing Gauri’s determination, gives her the blessings she seeks, empowering her for the fight. As Gauri prepares herself, the Dayans surround her, and Veena observes the situation closely, realizing that Gauri is intentionally distracting the Dayans to create an opening for the Pratham Vanshi to reach the temple.
With Gauri ready for battle, she picks up a shard of mirror, intending to use it as a weapon against Laksha. However, Laksha deftly defends herself, and the two engage in a fierce exchange. Mohana encourages Laksha, asserting that only the Davansh has the power to kill Rishwa, but she can take away Gauri’s senses—her eyes, ears, or anything else—so long as she spares her life. Sarda warns Veena that Laksha is a formidable opponent, and just then, Laksha throws a strand of her hair at Gauri, launching a vicious attack.
In a parallel scene, Sia meets with Harsh and informs him that they need a Pratham Jaal to extinguish the flames and that she must go inside the house to retrieve it. The stakes are high, and time is of the essence.
Back at the confrontation, Gauri finds herself in a precarious position, struggling against Laksha, who plays a dangerous game that results in Gauri sustaining another cut on her hand. Meanwhile, Harsh and Arjun attempt to enter quietly but are halted by one of the Dayans. Gauri, undaunted, stands her ground and faces the Dayan with boldness. As she ducks to evade an attack, she catches sight of Vihaan, who is still engrossed in the yagya, oblivious to the turmoil around him.
In a moment of reflection, Gauri recalls the cherished times she spent with Vihaan, playing with magic and laughter. This memory sparks a realization within her: she can still turn the tide of battle using her intelligence and cunning. Mohana, sensing Gauri’s resolve, urges Laksha to intensify her assault, determined to break Gauri’s spirit.
**Precap:** The tension reaches a breaking point as Davansh ruthlessly eliminates family members, preparing to turn his wrath on Rishwa next, leaving the fate of the family hanging by a thread.
