The episode opens with a warm yet awkward moment as Gauri enters the room, carrying a steaming cup of tea for Vihaan. With a curious expression, Vihaan asks her why she brought the tea, clearly surprised by her gesture. Just as Gauri is about to hand him the cup, it slips from her fingers, and in a split second, Vihaan uses his magic to freeze the tea mid-fall, preventing it from spilling. This moment highlights his magical abilities, but Gauri remains unimpressed, telling him that she’s not easily swayed by his tricks.
Vihaan, undeterred, playfully insists that he only helps her and decides to showcase his powers further. With a flick of his wrist, he conjures tea in mid-air, causing Gauri to roll her eyes and tease him about his magic skills. She challenges him to perform something more impressive, asking him to bring a cloud inside the house. Vihaan, eager to impress her, casts a spell, and to Gauri’s astonishment, a fluffy cloud materializes above them, followed by gentle rain cascading down. The sight mesmerizes Gauri, who can’t help but express her surprise at his abilities.
As the cloud drifts overhead, Vihaan playfully holds Gauri close, and she feels her heart race. Gauri, taken aback by the sudden intimacy, asks Vihaan how he knew she wanted to hug him. Vihaan, with a teasing smile, claims he hasn’t overheard her conversations with Arjun, but Gauri is skeptical. She then reveals that she heard his mother crying, prompting Vihaan to express concern and head off to check on her. However, Gauri stops him, insisting that he shouldn’t worry.
Vihaan counters her concern, stating that Gauri is part of the family and that there should be no secrets between them. He takes her along to confront his family, but as they approach, Kamini’s controlling presence looms over Vihaan once again. He introduces Gauri to his family, explaining that she overheard their earlier conversation. Sarda, one of the family members, immediately questions Gauri’s lack of respect for the elders, while Gauri, seeking to understand the situation, turns to Veena, asking if she is okay after seeing her in tears.
Veena, caught off guard, inquires about what Gauri has heard and what she told Vihaan. Vihaan remains silent, creating an uncomfortable tension in the room. Arjun, sensing the discomfort, asks what’s wrong and why Sarda seems upset. Sarda, however, takes the opportunity to reprimand Gauri, insisting that she must learn to behave like a good bahu and refrain from eavesdropping on adult conversations.
In a moment of frustration, Sarda accuses Gauri of lacking respect for the family. Vihaan, feeling protective, interjects, explaining that Gauri has no family of her own and therefore doesn’t understand the significance of familial bonds. He reveals that Gauri is an orphan, abandoned at birth, and that she has always been alone. He insists that Gauri doesn’t know her biological mother, Rekha, who rejected her, and this revelation shocks everyone in the room.
Gauri, feeling humiliated and betrayed by Vihaan’s words, slaps him in anger and walks away, unable to bear the weight of his public humiliation. Sarda tries to console Vihaan, reminding him that he must learn to communicate better with his wife. Vihaan, feeling guilty and confused, admits that he doesn’t understand why he spoke to Gauri that way, revealing his internal conflict.
Meanwhile, the scene shifts to the police station, where a police officer is inspecting the main electrical box but finds nothing unusual. Suddenly, Sia’s brother arrives, visibly angry, and transforms into a snake right before the officer’s eyes. The officer is taken aback, crying out for help. Harsh, hearing the commotion, rushes to the scene only to find his officer injured and in shock. The officer locks the door, trying to prevent Harsh from going outside, heightening the suspense.
Back at the house, Gauri is deeply hurt by Vihaan’s revelation of her secret to his family. She stands behind a wall, feeling his presence but unable to face him. Vihaan, sensing her pain, attempts to reach out, but Gauri, feeling betrayed, retreats further away. Harsh, meanwhile, is still grappling with the shocking sight of the snake in the police station. Sia, concerned for Harsh, urges him to review the CCTV footage, knowing that the situation is escalating.
Gauri, in a fit of rage, tells Vihaan to stay away from her, throwing objects in his direction. She locks herself in her room, and Vihaan pleads with her to open the door, but Gauri’s anger is palpable. She expresses her feelings of betrayal, stating that he has broken her trust by exposing her past. Vihaan tries to explain himself, but Gauri is not ready to listen. He begs her to give him a chance to clarify his intentions, assuring her that he understands her pain.
As the episode progresses, Gauri’s tears reflect her emotional turmoil, while Vihaan’s desperation to communicate with her reveals his inner conflict. Their relationship hangs in the balance as both struggle with their feelings and the consequences of their actions.
**Precap:** In a tense moment, Kamini calls for Vihaan, hinting at her manipulative plans, while Gauri prepares to embark on a mission to save Vihaan from the impending danger.
