The episode opens with Gauri announcing that she has contacted the police, who intend to arrest Vihaan. Harsh questions the officers about the grounds for the arrest, and they reveal that Vihaan is accused of stealing from Gauri’s home. Rashmi inquires if Vihaan took oil, while Maa ji insists that he would never steal. Vihaan confronts Gauri about her actions, just as Veena arrives. Veena asserts that Vihaan isn’t a thief, while the police present a list of items reported missing from Gauri’s residence. They embark on a search and gradually uncover the stolen items, implicating Vihaan. Vihaan demands proof from Gauri, who then plays a video showing him breaking into her home. In denial, Vihaan questions Gauri’s motives for entering her house, leaving him speechless. Harsh then states that he will arrest Vihaan, apologizing to him as he is taken away. Gauri strides forward as Harsh leads Vihaan out.
In a holding cell, Vihaan is advised by Arjun to maintain control, who notes that Gauri excels at psychological manipulation. Meanwhile, Gauri informs Harsh that she has obtained everything from Vihaan’s home. Harsh cautions her that the investigation will take time and inquires if she would consider filing a false case against Vihaan. Gauri reluctantly agrees to withdraw her complaint but demands the return of her house papers. She instructs Harsh to ask his brother about their whereabouts, leading Vihaan to produce the papers and return them to Gauri. Arjun questions Vihaan about blackmailing, and Gauri insists to Harsh that she wants closure on the matter. Consequently, Harsh releases Vihaan, who stops Gauri to assert that it’s finally over.
Once home, Maa ji questions why Gauri involved the police despite her readiness. Vihaan urges everyone to ignore what transpired and focus on preparations. Meanwhile, Veena warns him that she will not support the marriage. Charu’s mother expresses her anger towards Gauri, who returns a document to her. Charu’s mother claims Vihaan could purchase the Chawl. Veena compares the current situation to a prior event in which a dancer ruined her life. Vihaan retorts that he would do anything for his mother’s happiness. Charu reminds Gauri that all rituals have already taken place, having witnessed Vihaan applying vermilion. The witches recognize Charu as a predictor who can foresee threats against Gauri, and they decide to disrupt the bond between Gauri and the protector, Vihaan.
Arjun points out Vihaan’s attempts to become a property dealer while lacking romantic finesse. Harsh advises Vihaan to charm Gauri, while Arjun agrees that Vihaan is inexperienced in dealing with women. Harsh reveals that Gauri isn’t aware of Vihaan’s genuine side. Together, Harsh and Arjun brainstorm strategies for Vihaan to win Gauri over.
The following day, Vihaan, Harsh, and Arjun follow Gauri, who notices them in the mirror. When she turns, they vanish. Suddenly, Vihaan gets into a car, and Gauri brandishes a knife at him. Vihaan claims he needs to discuss something crucial, while Harsh coaches him over the phone. Vihaan tries to synchronize his words with Gauri. He urges her to start fresh, but she responds by calling him insane and dismissing him. Frustrated, Vihaan’s brothers intervene to calm him down. Gauri insists he leave the vehicle, prompting Vihaan to request she pause and engage with him. Gauri retorts that he’s merely a glorified stalker, making it clear she does not appreciate him. Vihaan’s temper flares again, and his brothers prompt him to apologize.
