The episode opens with Harsh visiting Vihaan, who is still in the spot where he was trapped. Harsh warns Vihaan that they are being manipulated by the witch. Meanwhile, Veena rushes to rescue her son but reveals herself as the witch and attacks him.
As Harsh and Veena witness the witch controlling Veena, she lifts her into the air and announces that it’s *amavasya*, threatening to take Veena’s life. The cries of despair fill the air, which Gauri hears. Vihaan demands the witch to release Veena, prompting Gauri to intervene. Just as she arrives, the witch lets Veena go. Gauri questions why Vihaan’s mother has fainted, and Sandhya notices Gauri’s sandal, which is covered in ash. Vihaan accuses Gauri of endangering his mother, leading everyone to urge Gauri to leave while they take Veena inside.
The doctor examines Veena and informs Vihaan that her reports are normal, but her pulse is weak. To Vihaan’s shock, Veena’s body gradually turns white. Simultaneously, Gauri dreams of a mysterious man applying vermilion to her hairline, waking up in fear; Charu blames Vihaan for Gauri’s plight and condemns his selfishness. Gauri attempts to uplift Charu and her aunt’s spirits by engaging in conversation.
Harsh arranges for a chopper to transport Veena to the hospital, but when they arrive, Veena is missing. Vihaan and Harsh see that she is being dragged downward by a dark force. Vihaan desperately holds onto her, but Veena slips away, and despite everyone’s efforts to save her, Vihaan laments that he is responsible for her impending death because he ignored her warnings. He vows to marry and secure the family’s fortune.
Gauri’s mother brings her to Vihaan’s house, asserting she will not demand anything from him. Vihaan’s uncle attempts to organize the wedding for Vihaan, but there’s widespread refusal regarding the alliance. Gauri’s mother confronts Vihaan, blaming him for ruining her daughter’s life and demanding justice. She questions who will marry Gauri and hold her hand, ultimately asking for compensation of 11 Lakhs.
As tensions rise, Harsh notices the dark marks spreading on Veena’s face. Vihaan retaliates by accusing Gauri of seeking compensation, with her retorting that he misused her trust. Sandhya intervenes to defend Vihaan, telling Gauri’s mother about Veena’s situation, but Gauri’s mother capitalizes on the chaos and heightens her demands. Harsh then informs Vihaan of Veena’s worsening condition, leaving Vihaan in a state of confusion.
The episode concludes with a gripping *precap*: Vihaan fills Gauri’s hairline with vermilion in an effort to save Veena.
