Gauri begs Vihaan to allow her to leave, swearing that she won’t disclose anything about him. As their hands touch, Vihaan regains his cool, but Gauri collapses. Just as he’s about to wipe her memories, he gets a call from Sandhya and rushes off. Upon arriving home, Vihaan learns that a potential bride’s family is there to meet him. Sandhya expresses regret for deceiving him, while Veena tries to convince him to consider Ruchi as his partner.
Meanwhile, Vihaan assigns Harsh and Arjun to manage Gauri, only for them to find her unconscious in the vehicle. Rashmi and Veena argue that Ruchi is the perfect girl who prefers being a housewife over pursuing education. However, Vihaan tells Mr. Chauhan that he doesn’t deserve marriage and refuses, infuriating Mr. Chauhan who storms out with his family in anger.
Harsh and Arjun are at a loss as Gauri suddenly wakes up. She urges Harsh to open the gate, but he tells her to remain calm, even as her agitation increases. Arjun wonders how Gauri knows about Vihaan and realizes he forgot to erase her memories. Meanwhile, Veena urges Vihaan to rethink marriage, but he declines, unwilling to jeopardize a girl’s life. When Vihaan likens himself to an orphan and a demon, Veena grows angry, reminding him of her unwavering belief in him and that his future wife will accept him.
As Gauri desperately attempts to shatter the car’s glass, she spots Vihaan approaching. She tries to flee, but he prevents her from escaping, appearing wherever she runs. Eventually, he seizes her hand and pulls her inside. He informs Veena that Gauri is aware of the truth and asks her to explain. Gauri recounts Vihaan’s fight with the witch, leaving everyone astonished.
Vihaan subsequently challenges Gauri, asking if she still has faith in him, revealing his wish to marry her. He lifts objects into the air and demands a response, extending his hand toward her. Gauri, overwhelmed, reassures everyone that she will keep his secret and requests to leave. Vihaan lets her go, acknowledging that her fear of demons is reasonable. Declaring himself the king of the witch world and an irredeemable being, he insists that no one could ever love him. In a stunning twist, Gauri suddenly stabs Vihaan.
Precap: Gauri’s stepmother wishes for her to marry the same man who once offered money to watch her dance. Meanwhile, a group of women warns Vihaan that he is fated to take a life on
