The episode begins with Vihaan pondering the nakshatra beneath the moonlight, a constellation that holds significance as it was the one he was born under. The narrator reveals a chilling twist: within the same nakshatra, another individual was born—someone intent on taking Vihaan’s life. In addition, a malevolent witch is on a quest to eliminate Gauri and is systematically targeting every girl born in this nakshatra.
As the narrative unfolds, Harsh prepares to leave, and despite Vihaan’s eagerness to accompany him, everyone intervenes to stop him. Meanwhile, Gauri receives a call from Charu, who inquires about the dean. Gauri reassures Charu that she will indeed attend college, bubbling with excitement about acquiring a signature on her application form. Desperate for this approval, she seeks help from Bholenath, while Vihaan, driven by curiosity and urgency, decides to uncover the truth. He removes his bracelet and undergoes a transformation.
In a daring move, Vihaan leaps from a window into Gauri’s car, prompting her to start the engine and pursue him. He calls Harsh to inform him of his intentions to join, but Gauri quickly overtakes him, demanding that he sign her papers before she lets him go, even threatening legal action if he refuses. Vihaan acknowledges her right to pursue legal action but insists on his need to leave. Gauri states she is willing to apologize, but time is of the essence; her sister’s life hangs in the balance.
Suddenly realizing Vihaan is nowhere to be found, Gauri spots him fleeing and chases after him to obtain his signature. Vihaan climbs a building, and Gauri retrieves his bracelet once more. As she watches him from above, the witch launches an attack, relentlessly targeting Vihaan. In their confrontation, he demands to know the connection between her and the murders, and the witch ominously reveals that she is committing these acts for his sake. She further warns him that in 25 days, he will undergo a complete transformation into a being like her.
Refusing to accept this fate, Vihaan defiantly states he is not like her, but the witch insists he is the king of Devansh. In a surprising turn, Vihaan manages to overpower her, lifting her off the ground. Gauri, witnessing the scene unfold, screams in terror. She tries to escape but is stopped by Vihaan. In a moment of panic, Gauri gets hurt as she stumbles down the staircase, her fear escalating as she sees Vihaan’s altered appearance. In a moment of desperation, she labels him a monster and pleads for him to leave her alone.
The episode concludes with intense tension as the screen fades to black.
**Precap:** Vihaan brings Gauri to his home, only for her to attack him from behind in a twist of defiance.
