The episode opens with a tense scene: Vihaan is angrily yelling at Gauri, demanding that she get out of the car along with her luggage. The atmosphere is charged with frustration as he leaves her stranded on the roadside, a stark symbol of their troubled relationship. As he drives away, the weight of his actions begins to settle in. Moments later, Vihaan wakes up in a panic, realizing he has abandoned Gauri. Guilt washes over him as he rushes back, calling out her name and pleading for her to listen.
Gauri, hurt and determined, starts walking away, her back turned to him. In a moment of desperation, Vihaan uses his magic to stop her in her tracks, lifting her into the air effortlessly. He places her back in the car, but Gauri is defiant, demanding to know what he is doing. She falls to the ground, asserting her independence and frustration. Gauri challenges Vihaan, asking him what he truly wants from her, but he finds himself at a loss for words, unable to articulate his feelings.
Just then, Vihaan receives a call from Arjun, who insists that he return home because it’s getting late. During the conversation, Vihaan subtly hints that he knows Arjun harbors feelings for Gauri, which complicates the situation further. After disconnecting the call, Vihaan tells Gauri to go home, but in a surprising turn of events, she hugs him tightly, and he reciprocates, holding her close. It’s a moment filled with unspoken emotions, hinting at the complexities of their relationship.
Back at home, Gauri reflects on the day’s events and how Vihaan has come to her rescue. As Vihaan bids her goodnight, she shares a piece of her painful past: her mother, a bar dancer, abandoned her on the street after her birth, a secret she has kept hidden for fear of judgment. Vihaan, sensing her vulnerability, promises not to disclose anything about her mother, solidifying their bond of trust.
As the night deepens, Vihaan prepares to sleep on the sofa, but Gauri playfully challenges him, suggesting he’s afraid to sleep in the bed with her. She begins to close the door, but Vihaan stops her, teasingly engaging with her. Eventually, he settles on the sofa while Gauri takes the bed. As the night passes, Gauri wakes up to find herself staring at Vihaan, lost in thought. She picks up her phone and asks Ai how to know if she has fallen in love. Ai responds with wisdom, saying that when a person is near, one’s heart begins to race. Unbeknownst to her, Vihaan stirs awake, overhearing her conversation.
The following morning, Arjun is at the police station, waiting for Vihaan. He teases Harsh about his interest in Sia, lightening the mood amidst the serious atmosphere. Harsh, however, is preoccupied, explaining that he has sent Sinde to keep an eye on Sia, who he believes is in danger. Just then, Sia enters the station, prompting Arjun to leave. Sia questions Harsh about his abrupt departure, expressing concern that her life is at risk—not just from the man they are investigating, but also from her own brother.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Gauri is busy making tea for Vihaan, her mind wandering as she daydreams about their interactions. Lost in her thoughts, she realizes she hasn’t served the tea yet and decides to call Arjun for help. When she mentions Vihaan, Arjun probes further, asking if Vihaan has misbehaved with her. Gauri quickly reassures him that she is not scared and that her heart doesn’t race around him. Arjun encourages her, suggesting that if she impresses Vihaan, he might hug her, igniting a flicker of hope in Gauri’s heart.
Back at the police station, the lights begin to flicker, causing concern. Harsh instructs Varun to investigate the issue, only to learn that their station is the only one affected. He sends Sia away for her safety, but she senses her brother approaching and insists that they stay. Harsh, protective and determined, refuses to leave her side.
As Gauri prepares to take the tea to Vihaan, she hears muffled cries coming from her room. Peeking in, she sees Veena distressed, confiding in Sarda about her fears of being discovered. Veena worries that if anyone learns about her past, particularly her history as a bar dancer, Vihaan will abandon her. Sarda reassures her, promising that no one will find out, but Gauri’s curiosity is piqued. She feels an overwhelming urge to understand what is happening within her family.
As the episode progresses, tensions rise. In a dramatic turn, the precap reveals Sarda confronting Gauri for eavesdropping on their conversation. The atmosphere is thick with tension as Gauri’s past threatens to resurface. In a climactic moment, Vihaan exposes Gauri’s secret in front of everyone, leaving her humiliated and angry. In a fit of rage, Gauri slaps Vihaan, a powerful act that underscores the turmoil in their relationship and the conflict between love and betrayal.
The episode closes on this intense note, leaving viewers eager to see how Gauri will navigate the fallout from Vihaan’s revelation and whether their bond can withstand the challenges ahead.
