The episode begins with a tense scene as Vihaan captures Sunheri and confines her in his storeroom. With a sense of triumph, he taunts her, stating that her hands are tied with subramani, leaving her utterly helpless in her predicament. After locking Sunheri away, he steps outside to confront Harsh and Arjun, confidently announcing that Sunheri is now under his complete control.
As the narrative shifts, Sunheri finds herself in a nightmare, where she sees a menacing figure of herself, which fills her with terror. Meanwhile, Gauri is haunted by her own fears, visualizing herself hanging on a wall. In this moment of distress, Vihaan comes to check on her. Upon seeing Gauri’s frightened state, he quickly wakes her up from her nightmare. Gauri, visibly shaken, hugs Vihaan tightly, expressing her fears about Sunheri. Vihaan reassures her, insisting that the dayan (witch) is gone and that she will be safe now.
In another part of the house, Harsh and Arjun discuss the implications of Sunheri’s actions. They realize that Sunheri has made Sandhya her target in an attempt to manipulate Gauri into leaving the house. Concerned about Gauri’s next move, they ponder what she will decide to do in light of the ongoing threats.
Meanwhile, Vihaan enters Gauri’s room with a glass of water, only to find her missing. This prompts Gauri to make a bold decision: she resolves to escape from the house, unwilling to remain in a place where the dayan still holds power over her. However, as she attempts to leave, she unexpectedly encounters Vihaan. He steps aside to allow her passage and offers her slippers, reminding her that her wound has not yet healed. Gauri, confused by his kindness, accepts the slippers and begins to walk away. Harsh and Arjun, witnessing this exchange, grab Vihaan, filled with worry about the consequences of Gauri’s departure. The brothers share a poignant moment, embracing each other in solidarity.
The following morning, Gauri finds herself walking along a deserted road when she suddenly stumbles and falls. As she gathers herself, memories of her traumatic experiences flood back. Determined, she manages to get back on her feet and makes her way to a nearby temple.
At the temple, Gauri pleads with God, questioning the turmoil in her life and expressing her desire to avoid any alliances with witches. She confesses her confusion about how to confront her current situation. Just then, a mysterious woman places her hand on Gauri’s head, informing her that she is dealing with issues related to black magic. Initially dismissive, Gauri attempts to walk away, but the woman insists on sharing the divine power of God, claiming to have faced evil spirits herself. Gauri, frustrated, questions why the woman is involving herself in her struggles and firmly states that she refuses to return to a home where the dayan still lurks.
Back at the family home, tensions rise as Rashmi packs her bags, preparing to leave. Harsh and Arjun plead with her to reconsider, expressing their deep attachment to the house where they were born. Rashmi, torn but resolute, explains that this is her home too, and she feels heartbroken about leaving. However, she emphasizes that Vihaan has broken his promise to protect them. Rashmi declares that she is taking her daughter with her and questions why her sons are willing to sacrifice their lives for their stepbrother.
Vihaan steps forward, and Harsh and Arjun quickly intervene, attempting to quell the argument with their mother. This dynamic makes Rashmi feel sidelined and unimportant. Vihaan, recognizing the gravity of the situation, declares that he had already decided to leave the house because he perceives himself as a threat to everyone’s safety. Veena, however, interjects, insisting that no one is to leave, especially with Sandhya’s in-laws arriving soon. She stresses the importance of maintaining appearances and how Rashmi will explain their situation regarding Sandhya’s brother.
Rashmi reminds everyone that Sandhya’s in-laws are coming to see their daughter-in-law and that she has already accepted that the alliance for her daughter has been broken. In a moment of determination, Vihaan promises Rashmi that he will bring Gauri back, vowing to rectify the situation.
