During a post-wedding ritual, Sandhya and Mridul are seated for aarti as Babita performs the ceremony. She asks Vihaan to bring Gauri forward, making him visibly nervous. Arjun urges him to present the new bride, Savita—who is actually Gauri in disguise and struggling to walk under the veil. Harsh and Arjun assist her carefully. Babita becomes suspicious and gives a shagun gift meant for Sandhya and Mridul, but Savita mistakenly hands it to the wrong person before Harsh and Arjun cover up the blunder.
Meanwhile, the witches secretly gather to rescue Sunheri, prompting a sense of unease among the elders. Veena and Baa grow concerned and urge everyone to finish the rituals quickly. Babita, sensing something’s off, decides it’s time to leave due to the strange weather. As Rashmi tries to take Savita away, Babita insists on unveiling the bride’s face. Rashmi objects, citing bad timing, but Babita doesn’t back down.
When Babita removes the veil, the truth shocks everyone. Vihaan apologizes for hiding the truth and pleads for the alliance to remain intact. Just then, Gauri impresses everyone with a spontaneous poem, softening the tension. She acknowledges Vihaan’s character and wins Babita’s admiration. Charu tries to bribe Gauri into silence with ₹5 lakhs, but Gauri continues to uphold the family’s dignity. Babita praises both Gauri and Veena, and asks Vihaan to stand beside his bride.
As the lights flicker and nakshatra symbols glow, the witches scale the walls, and Vihaan realizes the threat is near. He takes Gauri to the room where Sunheri is locked. Meanwhile, Rekha returns to a messy home and learns from Charu that Gauri had visited.
Later, Babita’s in-laws request a couple dance from Vihaan and Gauri. Despite their strained relationship, they perform. Gauri explains she’s only helping to protect his sister’s alliance. As the witches draw near and the power fluctuates, Vihaan and Gauri unite under the glowing nakshatra. The sealed door opens, and the witches are weakened. Vihaan confesses he married Gauri to protect his family but promises to always safeguard her from harm.
Precap: Gauri tells Vihaan that she won’t be staying there, but assures him that whenever he needs her, she will return as she just can’t risk dealing with Charu.
