The episode begins with Saraswati secretly meeting a black magician with Ira by her side. She expresses her frustration, explaining that Shlok and Ira were once close, but now Shlok has suddenly turned against her and has married Apollena. Saraswati believes that Shlok is blindly supporting Apollena and won’t listen to her. The black magician smirks upon noticing the jewels Saraswati is wearing and deceitfully claims that Apollena has trapped Shlok in her scheme. Desperate, Saraswati pleads with the magician to save her son, suggesting that they conduct a puja at her home.
Saraswati brings the black magician to her house, where the magician begins her ritual. She warns that if Apollena has cast a spell on Shlok, the smoke from the puja will turn black. As predicted, the smoke shifts to black, causing Ira to further incite Saraswati against Apollena, insisting that her spell is indeed the cause. Just then, Rupa arrives and questions what is happening.
Saraswati tells Rupa to remain silent as the black magician prepares to burn charcoal, claiming that it will force Apollena to emerge from her room. Meanwhile, Apollena discreetly adds something to the charcoal, unbeknownst to anyone. As the smoke fills the house, both Shlok and Apollena find it difficult to stay in their room and come downstairs. Confused, Apollena asks Saraswati what is going on. Saraswati introduces the magician as a powerful figure, but Apollena dismisses her as a fraud, warning Saraswati not to believe her.
The black magician claims that Apollena is trying to mislead them and accuses her of casting a spell on Shlok. Apollena asks the magician to leave, but the magician retaliates by hitting her with a broom. Furious, Shlok reprimands the magician for touching his wife and demands her departure. The magician continues to incite tension, urging Saraswati to act against Apollena. Apollena counters, insisting that she shouldn’t be fooled by black magic and that Saraswati should recognize the magician.
Apollena argues that Shlok’s mother should not put her faith in black magic, insisting that the magician is merely deceiving her and that she shouldn’t fall for her schemes. Saraswati, however, supports the magician, claiming that Apollena has ensnared her son through sorcery and that she is there to break the spell. Declaring that it is her house, she asserts that no one can force the magician to leave. Shlok intervenes, trying to calm the situation, but the magician demands payment for organizing a hundred hawan rituals. Saraswati reassures her that money is not a concern and offers her some.
The magician, however, claims that the offered amount is insufficient and insists on receiving jewels instead. In desperation, Saraswati hands over her necklace, stating her intention to free her son from Apollena’s influence. She instructs the magician to give a specific powder to Apollena to resolve the issue.
Meanwhile, Apollena confides in Shlok about her frustration with his mother, asserting that she doesn’t know how to communicate to her that the magician is a fraud. Shlok insists that his mother believes the magician, but Apollena retorts that it is mere superstition. Saraswati then instructs both Shlok and Apollena to drink water mixed with the powder, claiming it was provided by a maharani. Apollena firmly refuses, but Saraswati threatens her, insisting she must drink it.
While this tension unfolds, Saraswati confides certain secrets to Ira. Rupa overhears and threatens to reveal these secrets to Shlok. In response, Ira counters by threatening to expose Rupa’s truth. As the argument escalates, Shlok finds himself at odds with Apollena, ultimately forcing her to drink the concoction for the sake of his mother. Soon after consuming it, Apollena begins to faint.
The episode concludes with this intense cliffhanger.
