The episode begins with Vihaan stealthily following Gauri, who is visibly anxious. She quickly locks herself in a room, seeking refuge from the escalating tension. Inside, Gauri rushes to the cupboard, searching for something that could help her control Davansh. As she rummages through the items, she discovers a leather pouch, its contents unknown but potentially powerful. Just as she reaches for it, Davansh surprises her by appearing suddenly in the doorway, his presence a chilling reminder of the danger she faces.
Gauri, feeling trapped, attempts to escape the room, but Davansh swiftly locks the door from the inside, blocking her way. The atmosphere thickens with tension as Gauri notices the scattered items on the floor, remnants of her frantic search. Davansh, with a sinister grin, taunts her, expressing his twisted enjoyment in chaos and disorder. He reminds Gauri that despite her warnings to stay away, she remains in the house, a decision he interprets as a challenge.
Gauri, summoning her courage, asserts that she is not afraid of him. In response, Davansh threatens her with a pain that will linger in her memory forever. With a menacing aura, he blindfolds Gauri, claiming to have a special surprise for her, heightening her anxiety and uncertainty.
Meanwhile, Pratham Vanshi speaks with Veena, revealing that Kamini has hidden a sacred murti in a secret cave. Veena, determined to break the murti, is informed by Pratham that it can only be destroyed using Davansh’s blood. Sarda, another conspirator, suggests a plan to obtain this vital blood, fueling the sinister plot against Davansh.
Back in the dance bar, Davansh brings Gauri, who is bewildered and frightened. As she looks around, she questions him about the location he has brought her to. With a smirk, Davansh unveils the dance bar, announcing to the crowd that Gauri will perform for them. He makes it clear that only through her dance will he consider releasing Arjun, further tightening the grip of fear around Gauri.
Davansh escalates the stakes by threatening to kill Gauri’s sister if she does not comply. However, he soon realizes that Charu is missing, which adds to his frustration. He sets a strict condition: Gauri must dance for the audience, or else he will not hesitate to punish Arjun. The emotional turmoil overwhelms Gauri as she realizes the gravity of the situation; Davansh coldly informs her that Arjun is suffering because of her choices, granting her only five minutes to save him.
In a separate scene, Rashmi proposes a plan to Mahesh to extract Vihaan’s blood by using a needle. Veena, emboldened by the prospect of success, declares her intention to secure the blood herself. Rashmi, curious about Veena’s approach, inquires how she plans to do it. Pratham Vanshi, ever the schemer, reveals the location of the cave where Kamini’s murti is hidden, further entwining their fates.
Back at the dance bar, Gauri reluctantly begins to dance, her body moving to the rhythm while Davansh watches with a twisted sense of pleasure. Suddenly, the atmosphere shifts when a bottle crashes to the floor, startling Gauri and causing her to pause. Davansh, relentless in his demands, insists that she continue dancing if she wants to save Arjun. As the crowd begins to trickle out, Davansh claps for himself, relishing in the breakdown of Gauri’s spirit.
Gauri, feeling the weight of her situation, reminds Davansh that she has risked everything for her loved ones. In a moment of desperation, she runs to save Arjun, pulling him away from danger. Arjun, sensing the turmoil in Gauri, expresses his sorrow for her predicament and urges her to leave and never return home. He hails an auto, ready to escape the chaos, but Gauri, determined and resolute, returns to him, clutching the leather pouch.
As she opens the pouch, a shoe falls out, triggering a flood of memories. Gauri tells Arjun to stop the auto, revealing that the shoe is identical to one she kept from her childhood love. This discovery reignites a flicker of hope within her, as she realizes that beneath the surface darkness, there is still an innocent version of Vihaan trapped within the devilish facade he has adopted.
In the precap, Kamini, cloaked in disguise, transforms herself into Gauri, plotting to hide the murti and further complicating the already tangled web of deceit and danger surrounding them.
