The episode opens with a tense atmosphere as Vihaan desperately tries to persuade Rashmi not to leave the house. Despite his heartfelt efforts, Rashmi remains resolute in her decision to go, driven by a deep-seated fear that has taken root in her heart. She acknowledges Vihaan’s love for his family but feels trapped and seeks his help to convince Veena and Dadi to allow her and her family to leave. The weight of the situation hangs heavily in the air, and Vihaan, torn between his loyalty to his family and his desire to support Rashmi, agrees to assist her.
As the scene shifts, Vihaan is seen bringing food to the table, but in a moment of frustration, he discards it in the dustbin, symbolizing his inner turmoil. Dadi, ever the matriarch, reminds him of his responsibilities, emphasizing that he must maintain peace within the household. She insists that Vihaan will have to stay with Gauri, urging him to keep their issues private and not to let them spill beyond the confines of his room. This directive adds a layer of pressure on Vihaan, who is already grappling with conflicting emotions.
When Vihaan confronts Gauri, trying to prevent her from leaving with her luggage, she breaks down in tears. Gauri expresses her anguish, revealing that she feels trapped in a marriage that was built on deceit, using her sister as leverage. Vihaan’s anger flares as he remembers Rashmi’s impending departure, intensifying his frustration. He struggles to control his emotions, lifting himself momentarily in a fit of rage before regaining composure. He coldly informs Gauri that she will not be able to leave because her family is on the brink of collapse.
In a heated exchange, Vihaan accuses Gauri of extinguishing the pratham jot, a sacred flame, which she vehemently denies. In a fit of rage, he drags her to the balcony and locks her outside, leaving her to cry in despair. As Gauri sobs, Vihaan retreats to his room, where the storm outside mirrors the turmoil within him. The thunder rumbles ominously, and rain begins to pour, heightening the sense of dread.
As Gauri continues to cry, she suddenly faints, prompting a worried Arjun to check on her. He discovers a video clip that reveals the truth: Gauri did not extinguish the pratham jot; instead, it was the Dayan, a malevolent spirit, who had disguised herself as Gauri. Arjun rushes to show Vihaan the footage, urging him to see the truth. The realization hits Vihaan like a ton of bricks, and he races to Gauri’s side, understanding that her life is in grave danger.
Just as the Dayan prepares to attack Gauri, Vihaan arrives just in time to intervene. He finds Gauri unconscious and notices her injuries, overwhelmed by guilt and despair. Tears stream down his face as he lifts her gently, filled with remorse for the pain he has caused her. Vihaan quickly assesses Gauri’s condition and discovers she has a high fever. In a tender moment, he rubs her feet, willing her to wake up, while the Dayan lurks ominously in the shadows, watching their every move.
Harsh arrives with a first aid box, ready to assist Vihaan in caring for Gauri. He encourages Vihaan to gather everything he needs to help her. Vihaan diligently administers first aid, his heart heavy with worry as Gauri remains unconscious. In a moment of vulnerability, he reveals his own wounds, opening his shirt to inspect the damage he has sustained. Feeling the weight of his dual identity, he removes his bracelet, transforming into Davansh, ready to confront the supernatural threat.
As the Dayan inches closer to Gauri, intent on causing her harm, Vihaan prepares to protect her at all costs. The tension builds as he channels his powers, determined to save Gauri from the impending danger.
**Precap:** In a dramatic twist, Vihaan casts a spell, and Gauri awakens to see him in his transformed state, setting the stage for an intense confrontation between love and dark forces.
