The episode opens with Ayaan inquiring about his brother Raj, who has not joined the family for dinner. Mala, their sister, informs Ayaan that Raj is preoccupied with his studies. Concerned, Ayaan decides to take food to Raj himself. Meera, Ayaan’s companion, insists on accompanying him, mentioning that they also need to invite the Kaalkarni family for dinner. Ayaan suggests they call the Kaalkarni’s, but Meera reveals that their attempts to reach them by phone have gone unanswered. Determined, they set off to visit the Kaalkarni household in person.
Upon arriving, D.D. Kaalkarni stops Meera just as she is about to knock on the door, warning her that his children are asleep and asking them not to disturb them. Although they agree to be quiet, they insist that D.D. join them for dinner. Reluctantly, he agrees but fabricates a story about having brought food from outside for his kids. Ayaan, suspicious, questions D.D. about when he left the hotel, noting that he hadn’t seen him exit through the main door. D.D. quickly lies, claiming he used the back gate. With their suspicions piqued, Ayaan and Meera leave the Kaalkarni residence.
As they walk away, Ayaan confides in Meera about his growing doubts regarding D.D. Kaalkarni’s odd behavior. Meera, however, urges him to trust D.D., asserting that he is a respectable professor. Ayaan recounts the inconsistencies in D.D.’s story, prompting Meera to advise him to let it go for now. Ayaan then heads to Raj’s room to serve him dinner.
When Ayaan enters Raj’s room, he is startled to find Raj behaving strangely, causing him to drop the food he is carrying. The noise alerts Meera, who rushes to Ayaan’s side, asking what happened. Ayaan points in the direction where he last saw Raj, but when Meera looks, she sees no one. Confused and concerned, Ayaan is further shocked when Raj suddenly disappears. He pleads with Meera to believe him about what he witnessed.
The situation escalates when both Ayaan and Meera are taken aback to see Raj with D.D. Kaalkarni. Ayaan approaches Raj, but he is distracted by a villager who praises him for accommodating everyone in his hotel. After the interaction, Ayaan is stunned to find Raj has vanished again. D.D. calmly explains that Raj has returned home to study, leaving Ayaan feeling increasingly uneasy.
Later, Meera decides to visit Raj’s house to gather more information. Upon arrival, she speaks with Raj’s sister, who informs her that Raj is likely at a friend’s house. Meera asks her to call her when Raj returns home. However, her suspicions deepen when she notices Raj’s bicycle parked outside the house. This discovery reinforces Ayaan’s concerns about Raj’s well-being. Meanwhile, Raj appears and insists that his sister Mala accompany him, displaying strange behavior that confuses her. Just then, D.D. Kaalkarni arrives and uses black magic to hypnotize Mala, further complicating the situation.
Back at their haveli, Meera shares her findings about Raj with Ayaan, expressing her willingness to help him uncover the truth about D.D. Kaalkarni. However, she becomes furious when Ayaan reveals that he has entered the room where the ashes of the Dakini are kept, a place they had agreed to avoid. Ayaan apologizes, realizing the gravity of his actions.
Meanwhile, D.D. Kaalkarni senses that his wife is breaking free from his hypnotic influence and approaches her. He becomes alert when he hears knocking at the door. Meanwhile, Meera questions Ayaan about their plan, and he defends their decision to investigate further. They both enter the room but feel uneasy witnessing the closeness between D.D. and his wife. Meera apologizes for intruding, and she engages Mrs. Kaalkarni in conversation while Ayaan distracts D.D. by creating a diversion. Ayaan discreetly spreads powder on the ground, hoping to determine if D.D. is involved with any evil spirits. Observing Ayaan’s actions, D.D. scoffs at their naivety, thinking they are foolish for their suspicions.
The episode concludes with Ayaan and Meera left speechless as D.D. questions Ayaan’s strange behavior. The tension builds as they navigate the complex dynamics of trust and deception, setting the stage for the challenges they will face ahead.
