The episode opens with a tense confrontation as Ayaan urgently intervenes, halting Meera from advancing toward D.D. Kaalkarni and Ishani. With a fierce determination, he warns the professor against harming Ishani, emphasizing that he will not hesitate to retaliate if she is hurt. Meera, filled with anxiety and desperation, implores the professor not to inflict any harm on her sister Ishani, whom she describes as a child at heart and in mind. The professor, however, responds with mocking laughter, dismissing her concerns and belittling her emotional plea. Angered by his contempt, Meera attempts to launch an attack on him, but in a swift move, D.D. Kaalkarni casts a spell that freezes everyone in place, leaving only Ayaan and Ishani free to move. Both are taken aback by the sudden turn of events.
Ayaan, resolute and protective, confronts the professor, demanding that he refrain from causing any harm to anyone, including himself. The professor, reveling in the power he holds, taunts Ayaan, suggesting that all his attempts to reason with him have been in vain. He then proposes a deal: if Ayaan agrees to accompany him to a certain location, he will release Meera and the others from their immobilized state. After a moment of hesitation, Ayaan reluctantly consents to the professor’s terms, hoping it will ensure the safety of his loved ones.
Once Ayaan and D.D. Kaalkarni leave the hotel, Ishani, who has been frozen alongside Meera and the others, pleads with them to return to normal. Overcome with emotion, she begins to cry, and her heartfelt cries seem to break the spell. Meera and the others gradually regain their senses, and Meera rushes to embrace Ishani, relief flooding through her as she realizes her sister is safe. Ishani then informs Meera and the rest of Ayaan’s family that both Ayaan and D.D. have left the hotel, which leaves everyone in shock.
Determined to find Ayaan, Meera decides to venture out despite Sadhurika’s warnings against going alone. Ignoring her friend’s concerns, Meera instructs Arnab, Sadhurika, and the others to remain inside the hotel for their safety. She steps outside, only to be taken aback by the absence of the pret (spirits), which leaves her puzzled. However, the calm is shattered when she hears the screams of Ishani and the others, prompting her to rush back inside, where she is horrified to discover that the pret have infiltrated the hotel.
Meanwhile, in the dense forest, Ayaan follows D.D. Kaalkarni, demanding to know where they are headed. The professor, maintaining an air of mystery, instructs Ayaan to be patient and enjoy the journey toward their destiny. He brings up the name of Rudra Prathap Chaudhary, which piques Ayaan’s curiosity, leading him to question whether his great-grandfather had wronged the professor. D.D. Kaalkarni, however, remains tight-lipped, refusing to divulge any further information, which only serves to heighten Ayaan’s frustration.
Back at the hotel, the pret close in on Meera and the others. Remembering their plan, Meera instructs Arnab, Sadhurika, Ishani, and the hotel staff to hold their breath and follow her lead to protect themselves from the malevolent spirits. They all comply, and Meera takes charge, issuing clear instructions on how to navigate the perilous situation. Just as they are about to escape, Arnab accidentally makes a noise, drawing the attention of the pret. In a moment of quick thinking, Meera distracts the spirits, allowing her friends a chance to regroup.
In the forest, Ayaan continues to press the professor for answers about their destination. In a sudden, forceful move, D.D. Kaalkarni pushes him through a magical portal, leaving Ayaan bewildered and suspicious that the professor may be planning to use black magic against him. Meanwhile, back in the hotel, Meera finds herself surrounded by the pret once more, but Arnab arrives just in time to save her. With urgency, Meera directs everyone to conduct a ritual puja, reciting mantras that Ishani had memorized earlier. Just as they are about to complete the puja, the pret break through the door, but Meera and her companions persist in their efforts. After a fierce struggle, they manage to fend off the pret and save themselves.
At the same time, D.D. Kaalkarni ensnares Ayaan in a magical net, demanding to know what he did after killing Dakini. Ayaan defiantly responds that he saved everyone by eliminating the threat posed by Dakini. The professor, however, mocks him, leading to a moment of confusion for Ayaan.
In the precap, D.D. Kaalkarni ominously declares his intent to kill Ayaan. However, in a surprising turn of events, Ayaan finds the strength to overpower him, leaving D.D. Kaalkarni visibly shocked by Ayaan’s unexpected resilience.
