The episode opens with a tense exchange between Gauri and Vihaan. Gauri asserts her self-worth, declaring that despite being the daughter of a bar dancer, she possesses a purity of spirit that surpasses Vihaan’s. She emphasizes that she does not seek financial gain from their relationship, implying that true connections are built on more than monetary transactions. In a bold move, Rani decides to terminate the contract and adamantly refuses to sign it, indicating her disapproval of the situation.
Vihaan, undeterred by Gauri’s stance, insists that he is willing to pay her, but he clarifies that he does not intend to treat their relationship as a business transaction. He then turns to Rani, urging her to take whatever actions she deems necessary, but he warns her that in two months, he will no longer want to see her face again. Unbeknownst to them, Harsh and Arjun overhear this intense conversation, their expressions revealing their concern and confusion.
Meanwhile, Sunheri exerts her influence over Sandhya, which raises Rashmi’s suspicions about Sunheri’s intentions. Charu reaches out to Gauri, expressing her concern for her well-being. Gauri, however, remains silent for a moment before opening up about her struggles. She confides in Charu that it has been a long time since they last spoke, and she admits to feeling exhausted. Gauri explains her efforts to attain financial stability and regain her self-respect, but she reassures Charu that she refuses to lose hope. In a moment of vulnerability, Gauri informs Charu of her decision to leave the house forever.
As the scene shifts, Mahesh arrives with sweets that are Baa’s favorites, attempting to bring a moment of joy amidst the turmoil. However, Harsh confronts Vihaan, insisting that he cannot force Gauri to sign the contract. Vihaan, however, remains resolute in his determination to secure Gauri’s signature, fearing that losing her would mean losing his family as well. He expresses to Harsh and Arjun that he is willing to pay any amount necessary to keep them all together.
Suddenly, a commotion breaks out, and Vihaan and his brothers rush downstairs to investigate the source of the cries. They find Sandhya in a precarious situation, with Sunheri declaring her presence and asserting control over Gauri. Sunheri commands Sandhya to harm herself, escalating the tension in the room. Vihaan, alarmed, questions Sunheri about her demands, to which she responds with a chilling ultimatum: she wants Gauri to become their Davansh Raj and gives Vihaan a choice between Sandhya and Gauri.
Vihaan, desperate to protect his sister, pleads with Sunheri to allow him to bring Gauri to her, insisting that he does not want Sandhya to suffer. He takes Gauri’s hand, torn between his love for his family and his feelings for her, as he contemplates the weight of his decisions.
As the situation escalates, Gauri realizes the extent of Sunheri’s control over Sandhya. Sunheri taunts Gauri, demonstrating her power by commanding Sandhya to obey her every word. In a shocking display, Sunheri and Sandhya climb the walls like lizards, causing panic among the onlookers. Gauri tries to intervene, but Sunheri warns her that Sandhya is now under her command.
In a moment of chaos, Sunheri lifts a sofa to attack Gauri, but Vihaan intervenes just in time, saving her from harm. However, the confrontation takes a tragic turn when Sandhya falls from the wall, and Gauri, overwhelmed by the events, faints. Vihaan swiftly catches her and lays her down on the sofa, his emotions spiraling out of control. He vows to Harsh that he will hunt down the witch who has caused this turmoil.
As the tension reaches its peak, Sunheri continues to climb the wall, but Vihaan follows her, determined to confront her. The episode ends on a cliffhanger as Vihaan stops Sunheri, setting the stage for an explosive confrontation.
**Precap:** In a surprising turn of events, Sunheri loses her powers, and Vihaan unleashes his fury upon her, hinting at a dramatic showdown in the upcoming scenes.
