As Ayaan and Meera continue their desperate efforts, they finally uncover the skeleton of Dakini.

However, the situation takes a dark turn when Ramacharya unexpectedly kills his own men, shocking both Ayaan and Meera. They quickly realize that Dakini has possessed Ramacharya. In a moment of danger, Dakini approaches to attack Meera, but Ayaan bravely intervenes and urges Meera to burn Dakini’s skeleton.

Meanwhile, Arnab is preparing for a confrontation of his own, loading bullets into his gun with a grim determination to kill Meera.

As Dakini stands beside him, Meera experiences a moment of joy when she sees Ishani’s shadow return to her body. However, her relief is short-lived as she realizes Ayaan is now with Dakini. Panic sets in as she contemplates how to protect Ayaan from Dakini’s influence. Arnab arrives, blaming Meera for the situation, but she implores him to take action to save Ayaan. To Arnab’s surprise, Vipin’s wife comes to Meera’s defense, further complicating the family dynamics.
