Vihaan shocks everyone by threatening to kill Gauri, declaring she won’t be going anywhere. Gauri is heartbroken realizing her Vihaan has become Davansh. Arjun shows her packed bags and urges her to return home, reminding her of his promise to Vihaan to ensure her safety. Gauri agrees and sits in the car, but Harsh arrives and reveals that Mohana plans to eliminate the entire family. Gauri refuses to leave, determined to protect her loved ones.
When Arjun asks if she’s retrieved the mani, Gauri grabs a knife and heads to Vihaan’s room, where he lies asleep. She stabs him, thinking he’s dead, but a glowing light in the garden signals that the mani will shine only when Vihaan is truly in danger. Vihaan awakens, removes the knife, and uses his powers to heal himself. As he prepares to attack, he restrains himself and warns Gauri that a knife cannot kill Davansh.
Gauri pleads with him, saying she believes the real Vihaan still exists within him and that she acted only to get the Rishwa mani. When she tries to leave, Vihaan is unable to exit the room due to the pratham diya barrier. The family joins Gauri, and Sarda assures Vihaan he’s trapped. Vihaan declares that he will soon escape and warns that no one can stop the Pralay, as it is his 25th birthday and he will become fully Davansh by sunset. He vows to sacrifice Rishwa and says no weapon will harm him.
In a bold move, Gauri puts cake in Vihaan’s mouth, provoking him, and tells him she must retrieve the mani. Meanwhile, Mohana performs black magic and senses the dawn breaking, declaring the rise of Davansh and the arrival of Pralay.
Determined, Gauri ventures alone into the jungle to recover the Rishwa mani, while Sarda tries to distract Vihaan with salad, aware that the diya’s light is fading. Gauri presses forward, resolute in her mission to reclaim the mani and save everyone.
Precap: Gauri finally locates the Rishwa mani and is about to take it when Vihaan appears and stops her.
