The episode begins with Charu examining a painting that features a girl adorned with vermilion. Meanwhile, a gathering of witches convenes in front of Kamini’s statue, discussing a girl who shares the same nakshatra and is still alive—Vihaan has married her. Gauri and Vihaan possess one shoe which they have exchanged with one another for their child, although they remain unaware of this connection. Gauri finds Charu drawing on the wall but doesn’t comprehend what she is doing. Gauri instructs Charu to go to sleep.
A witch sneaks into Gauri’s room but quickly departs when Gauri enters. The witch realizes that Gauri is the Biswa, a threat to the witches. Maa Ji urges Veena to talk to Vihaan about not disrespecting vermilion. Veena responds by mentioning that Gauri has insulted the vermilion and questions Gauri’s absence from home. Maa Ji asserts that regardless of Vihaan’s actions, Gauri is still his wife. She admonishes Veena for failing to recognize that a witch is disguising herself as Vihaan to deceive her. At a loss for words, Veena eventually breaks down and admits her mistake.
Veena explains to Maa Ji that her actions were solely to protect Vihaan and persuade him to agree to the wedding. She expresses her belief that Vihaan will be willing to marry Gauri but pleads with Maa Ji not to inform him about her misdeeds. Maa Ji promises not to mention anything to Vihaan but insists that Veena must accept Gauri and rectify her errors. Suddenly, Veena experiences severe cramps in her head, revealing the glowing nakshatra. Maa Ji calls for Vihaan, Harsh, and Arjun. Harsh informs Vihaan that something must be done to stop the nakshatra from glowing in Veena’s body. Maa Ji concludes that Vihaan must conduct a proper marriage with Gauri to save Veena.
Vihaan tries to console Veena and urges her to remain calm. However, Veena insists that Vihaan should not leave while Gauri stays with them. Harsh emphasizes that Gauri’s consent is crucial, and Vihaan assures Maa Ji that he will bring Gauri back. Harsh and Arjun suggest that Vihaan should present both an apology and a marriage proposal to Gauri, but Vihaan insists he knows how to manage the situation.
Meanwhile, Gauri packs Charu’s bag for her first day and questions why Gauri is pretending everything is normal when she knows about the marriage to Vihaan. Gauri books a cab and enters to pick up her passenger, only to discover that it is Vihaan when she sees the destination. Gauri asks him to leave, but Vihaan threatens to report her, which could lead to her losing her job. Reluctantly, Gauri starts the ride, and Vihaan indicates that he wants to talk, but Gauri refuses.
Vihaan points out that the vermilion is still visible in her hairline and stops the music by removing a bracelet. He urges her to drive carefully, but Gauri asks him to get out of the car. Reminding her that they are married, Gauri argues back. Vihaan insists that he was helpless during their wedding, but for Gauri, the marriage holds no significance. He offers her money to stay with him.
The episode concludes.
**Precap**: Vihaan tells Veena that Gauri has agreed to stay with him, prompting Gauri to prepare to respond to Vihaan. Meanwhile, Vihaan and his family discover that Gauri is a bar dancer.
