The episode opens with Vihaan conducting an investigation, strategically placing photos and papers on Arjun’s body. He emphasizes to Harsh and Arjun that time is running out to uncover the truth in order to save someone’s life. Harsh inquires how Vihaan plans to achieve this, and Vihaan insists they must act quickly.
Meanwhile, the witch discovers her next target. Gauri arrives to speak with the college dean, unaware that Vihaan is, in fact, the dean. Arjun sends Gauri to find Vihaan, and Harsh and Arjun start poking fun at him. Gauri approaches the dean, expressing frustration that her sister’s application was rejected due to Vihaan. As she reads her sister’s credentials, she asserts that she deserves admission to the college.
Gauri then tells the dean to teach his son, Vihaan, some manners, prompting Vihaan to turn around. Gauri is taken aback to find Vihaan as the dean. He informs her that he rejected her sister’s application and that Gauri promises to pay the fees promptly. Vihaan explains that he considers the character certificate of applicants, and that Gauri’s past dancing at parties weighed against her sister’s application. Faced with Gauri’s attempts to misbehave, Veena criticizes her for being uncultured and lacking shame.
Gauri apologizes but retaliates by suggesting that Vihaan was raised to know how to treat others respectfully, while questioning Veena’s upbringing. In response, Veena drags Gauri away and throws her out of the house. Meanwhile, Gauri notices something odd on the road, and her shadow becomes strangely trapped.
Gauri urges Veena to realize what she is doing, but Veena insists that Gauri will never comprehend the significance of belonging to a reputable family. The witch then strikes at Gauri. Vihaan is perplexed and questions Veena about her treatment of Gauri. Arjun supports Gauri, declaring that her points are valid, and challenges Vihaan to explain his rejection of Charu’s application. Arjun accuses Vihaan of misjudging Gauri based on her background as a dancer.
As the conversation unfolds, Harsh discovers a mysterious letter on the papers and urges Vihaan to take a look. Vihaan discards the paper, engrossed in reading scriptures and reveals to Harsh that he’s capable of decoding them under the moonlight, noting he was born under that particular Nakshatra.
