The episode begins with Apollena performing a puja to the Shivling, completely unaware of the snake lurking beneath her feet. Meanwhile, Ira believes her scheme is about to succeed. As Apollena loses her balance, Shlok rushes to support her but is bitten by the snake in the process. Apollena gasps in shock upon seeing the snake, screaming for everyone to stop the bhajan and alerting them to the emergency. Chaos ensues as everyone rushes to help Shlok. Ira, realizing her trap has backfired, watches as the venom finds its way into Shlok instead of Apollena.
Apollena urges Shlok to focus on her, promising to save his life, and tells someone to call for an ambulance. She instructs him not to close his eyes while Ira tries to suck the venom from his wound. Apollena intervenes, asserting that this isn’t a movie and that such tactics aren’t effective. Ira scoffs at her but is firmly pushed away by Apollena, who insists that exposing herself to the poison could put her in danger. With determination, she binds Shlok’s wound and applies antiseptic.
Once the ambulance arrives, Mahadev helps get Shlok to the hospital. Madhu encourages Apollena to go along, but she refuses, insisting she must find the snake first. Girdar questions her motives, and Apollena explains that she needs to identify the type of snake that bit Shlok—whether it was an Indian cobra or a king cobra. If they administer the wrong antidote, it could jeopardize Shlok’s life. Despite concerns from Dadi and Girdar, Apollena stands her ground, stating she is still his daughter and will make no rash decisions. She feels a responsibility since Shlok risked his life for her.
Meanwhile, the doctor evaluates Shlok and informs Mahadev that they did well by applying antiseptic. He praises Apollena for her quick thinking, noting they avoided the Hollywood tropes of sucking the venom from a bite. Sarswati reflects on Ira’s mistakes while Mahadev expresses pride in his daughter-in-law’s intellect.
Neel reaches out to Apollena, and she shares her concerns with him, questioning the type of cobra that bit Shlok. Neel conveys her doubts to the doctor, while Ira dismisses Apollena’s claims, urging the doctor not to heed her concerns. Sarswati insists she saw the Indian cobra, pleading for her son’s safety. Meanwhile, Apollena perseveres in her search for the snake, cleverly managing to coax it out. She reassures her family not to panic, stating that the snake is frightened and won’t harm them if they remain calm. Successfully, she traps the snake and informs the doctor not to give the injection just yet.
Sarswati, alarmed, questions if Apollena plans to risk Shlok’s life. Apollena clarifies that she only wants to save her husband’s life. She presents the captured king cobra to the doctor, insisting he must administer the correct antidote. The doctor checks Shlok’s pulse and notes that it is steady. Mahadev praises Apollena’s quick thinking, while Dadi wonders how the snake got there in the first place. Mahadev suspects it was a deliberate act by their enemies. Ira, on the other hand, quips that Shiva’s snake came to witness the puja, while Apollena asserts that Shiva’s snakes would never harm anyone—they were placed there maliciously.
As tensions rise, Ira conspires to pay the snake charmer to flee Kanpur, while Shlok’s condition begins to deteriorate.
