The episode begins with a tense atmosphere as Gauri and Arjun find themselves in a precarious situation. They notice that a massive snake has awakened and is slithering ominously in their direction. Instinctively, Gauri and Arjun sprint away, seeking refuge behind a nearby wall. Heart pounding, they hold their breath as the snake, after a brief moment of alertness, settles down again and goes back to sleep.
Feeling a mix of fear and determination, Arjun suggests to Gauri that they should return to safety. However, Gauri is resolute; she does not want to go back. Memories flood her mind, reminding her of the legendary tale of Hanuman Ji, who bravely entered the mouth of Sursa to reach Lanka. Inspired by this story, Gauri steps forward, her courage igniting a spark of hope within her.
Despite Arjun’s protests, urging her to stop, Gauri presses on. She picks up a stone and hurls it towards the snake, calling out for it to awaken. She insists that they need to rouse the creature, as their only path to the Pratham Brisk lies through its mouth. As Gauri continues to throw stones, the snake stirs and begins to approach them. Alarmed, Arjun grabs Gauri, pulling her back to safety.
In a moment of desperation, Gauri explains to Arjun that just like Hanuman Ji, they too must enter the snake’s mouth to reach their destination. Arjun, however, is filled with trepidation and refuses to consider such a dangerous course of action. Gauri, undeterred, contemplates whether there might be an alternative way to access the Pratham Brisk. Suddenly, the ground beneath them begins to tremble, causing them to seek shelter behind a large stone as the cave shakes violently.
Meanwhile, in another part of the story, Davansh has brought Kesar to the fabled Pratham Brisk. Kesar, astonished, admits that she has never seen such a magnificent tree in her life. Davansh reveals that this is the only one of its kind, and he has grand plans to perform the sacred saath phere here, believing it will grant him immense power to ensure Vihaan’s demise and his own immortality. With a sense of reverence, Davansh kneels before the tree, and Kesar follows suit, though her mind is racing with questions.
As they kneel, Kesar discovers Aditya’s phone in Davansh’s possession. Confused and alarmed, she demands to know how he acquired it. Davansh remains silent, prompting Kesar to press further, questioning why he attacked Aditya. When she confronts him about Aditya’s death, she reveals the depth of her feelings, explaining that Aditya loved her and they were set to marry. Kesar’s voice trembles with emotion as she demands answers, warning Davansh not to harm the sacred tree. In response, Davansh plays an audio recording of Aditya, leaving Kesar shocked to hear that he had been dealing with her.
Back in the cave, Arjun expresses his fear to Gauri, feeling overwhelmed by the situation. To calm both himself and Gauri, he begins to sing a lullaby, hoping to lull the snake back to sleep. Gauri, however, insists that they need to play the bin to soothe the creature, believing it will open its mouth without harm. Determined, she goes off to find the bin, but just as she does, the snake suddenly wraps its tail around her, capturing her.
In a different scene, Mitali awakens to a chorus of applause. Harsh approaches her, offering to take her to the hospital, but Mitali brushes him off, claiming she feels anxious. Mahesh, concerned for her well-being, advises her to practice yoga. Mitali, attempting to flirt with Mahesh, is warned by Rashmi to keep her distance. Mitali compliments Rashmi on her beauty before asking Harsh to fetch her some water, leaving him feeling suspicious about her intentions.
Davansh tries to manipulate Kesar by claiming that humans are inherently selfish and that Aditya never truly loved her. He insists that humans exploit the Dayan and should not concern themselves with their feelings. He further reveals that her step-parents had turned against her in front of the entire village, deepening Kesar’s despair.
As Gauri remains trapped, Arjun desperately throws stones at the snake, urging it to release her. Gauri encourages Arjun to play the bin, believing it to be their only hope.
Meanwhile, Mahesh inquires if Mitali is looking for something, to which she replies that she needs to use the bathroom. Rashmi points her in the right direction, unaware of Mitali’s true intentions as she heads upstairs, plotting to kill Vihaan.
In a moment of bravery, Arjun pulls out his mobile and plays the bin. Miraculously, the snake releases Gauri, and she regains her freedom. As the snake opens its mouth wide, Arjun and Gauri seize the opportunity and rush inside, finding themselves transported to a mystical forest. Gauri is taken aback by the beauty surrounding them, but they know they must act quickly to save Vihaan.
Back in the real world, Harsh learns from Rashmi that Mitali has gone to the bathroom. He notices strange footprints leading up the staircase and rushes to check on Vihaan, who is alone and vulnerable. Veena also spots the footprints, heightening the tension as Mitali prepares to strike.
**Precap:** The scene shifts back to Gauri and Davansh, who now stand face to face. Davansh ominously declares that Gauri’s husband must die. With fierce determination, Gauri retorts that today will be the day she ends his life.
