The episode begins with Vihaan preparing to renew the contract with Gauri, an important step in their relationship. As he reviews the document, he decides to include a special clause aimed at ensuring they remain together forever. However, Gauri seems distracted, lost in her thoughts, which raises Vihaan’s concerns. He reassures her, expressing his unwavering commitment to uncover the truth about her parents’ mysterious past. Gauri, feeling the weight of her unresolved questions, extracts a promise from Vihaan that he will do everything in his power to discover the truth.
In a determined move, Gauri takes Vihaan to speak with his mother, Veena. In front of everyone gathered, she confronts Veena and boldly asks how her parents died. The atmosphere is tense as the family listens intently. Meanwhile, a subplot unfolds with Vihaan’s duplicate, who is seen carrying Kesar in his arms. As he navigates through the shadows, he senses someone is watching him, heightening the suspense. He places Kesar in his car, but soon hears an unsettling sound, hinting at danger lurking nearby.
Back at the confrontation, Veena reveals a shocking truth: Kamini, a figure shrouded in mystery and malice, was responsible for the death of Gauri’s family shortly after Gauri was born. She explains that they managed to save Gauri from a similar fate. Gauri, filled with anger and confusion, presses Veena on how Kamini learned about her parents and why she viewed Rishwa as a threat. In a moment of accusation, Gauri points a finger at Veena, suggesting that she may have betrayed her family by providing information to Kamini. Vihaan quickly jumps to his mother’s defense, insisting that she could never do such a thing.
Rashmi, eager to stir the pot, taunts Veena, implying that the troubles they face are a direct result of Gauri becoming part of their family. Veena attempts to clarify that Gauri might be misunderstanding the situation. However, Gauri stands firm, recounting how she witnessed Veena relaying information about her mother to Kamini. She boldly declares that Kamini went to a specific address with the intent to kill her mother, expressing her disbelief that Veena could be involved.
As tensions rise, Veena desperately tries to absolve herself, insisting she has never harmed anyone. Gauri, not convinced, questions Veena’s fear of Kamini, to which Veena responds that Kamini is now dead. Nevertheless, Gauri, still shaken, insists that she witnessed everything firsthand and storms off toward the well, where she reflects on her past and the painful revelations she has uncovered. She is now convinced that Veena played a role in her mother’s death.
Vihaan, trying to comfort Gauri, reminds her that she was previously told she had been abandoned on the road, and he reiterates his promise to uncover the truth. He warns her that Kamini was a powerful magician, but Gauri asserts that Kamini’s magic will not affect her. Vihaan remains steadfast in his belief that his mother would never betray anyone. Harsh, another character in the mix, reminds Vihaan that the ring has a way of revealing the truth to Gauri and suggests that they use it to gain clarity. He encourages Gauri to touch Veena’s bangles, hoping it will provide insight.
Meanwhile, Kesar regains consciousness in the car, confused about how she ended up there instead of on her bicycle. As she tends to her wounds, she realizes she is locked inside the vehicle with Vihaan’s duplicate outside. In a moment of panic, Kesar accidentally starts the car, prompting the duplicate to intervene and unlock the door. He explains that he locked her in for her own safety, but Kesar accuses him of having ulterior motives. He dismisses her beauty, stating she doesn’t resemble a heroine, but Kesar retorts that she receives numerous marriage proposals, proving her attractiveness. Just then, they hear eerie sounds, and Kesar feels that something sinister is happening nearby, sensing that a bird’s life is in jeopardy. She pleads for help, clinging to the duplicate, who lifts her into his arms.
Back in the main scene, Dadi addresses the group, declaring that talent can be a powerful weapon, and it was through their talents that they managed to defeat Kamini. Gauri, still fixated on her quest for answers, tells Veena that she only wants to understand why her mother was killed. To do this, she insists on touching Veena’s bangles for clarity. However, before she can proceed, Veena suddenly faints, adding to the dramatic tension. Rashmi seizes the moment to mock Gauri, suggesting she leave the room. Vihaan, protective of Gauri, takes her hand and leads her outside, shutting the door firmly behind them.
In the precap, Vihaan makes a heartfelt promise to bring Gauri back, but as he turns, he is confronted by a duplicate of himself, who is in the act of killing the real Vihaan. Meanwhile, Gauri awakens from a terrifying dream, hinting at the dark twists yet to unfold.
