The episode begins with Veena urging Vihaan to consider marriage, but he firmly resists the idea. Rashmi interjects, reminding Vihaan that whenever he removes his bracelet, he ceases to be Vihaan, referring to the recent murders in the city. Fearful for her children, Rashmi demands reassurance that Vihaan will not pose a threat to them. Maa offers encouragement to Sandhya, while Vihaan acknowledges Rashmi’s concerns.
Harsh and Arjun attempt to console Rashmi, emphasizing that Vihaan always looks out for the family and that there is no favoritism in their household. Overwhelmed with emotion, Rashmi begins to cry, prompting Veena to comfort her. Holding Rashmi’s hand, Vihaan vows to protect Sandhya and the rest of the family, promising that he won’t let anything interfere with Sandhya’s marriage. Touched, Rashmi embraces Vihaan, and Harsh and Arjun suggest a group hug to celebrate the moment.
As they discuss preparations for the upcoming Amavasya night, Veena spreads ashes around, but Rashmi expresses her fear that a witch wants to transform Vihaan into a demon to harm them. To alleviate their fears, Vihaan declares he will chain his own hands to prove he won’t hurt anyone. As Veena spreads the ashes, Vihaan starts to feel pain, but he insists that she keep the ashes that can potentially save him.
Veena, distressed by seeing her son in pain, tears up, and Vihaan reassures her that he has matured and is willing to do anything to protect her. He instructs her to take everything upstairs and announces that no one should leave the house.
Meanwhile, Gauri tries to call Vihaan but receives no answer. Concerned, she decides to visit his home, only to encounter a trance-like vision. Gauri sees her hairline decorated with vermilion but shakes off the vision as she gets closer to reality. Arriving at Vihaan’s house, she knocks on the door, but no one responds. The family grows anxious as time ticks away, and Veena becomes increasingly restless. Maa offers Vihaan hope, but soon, Veena hears Vihaan calling for her. When she opens the door, she is met with an empty house.
Maa leads Veena inside, and just then, Vihaan appears, asking for their help. However, the witch has disguised herself as Vihaan and captures Veena, leaving the family in shock.
The episode concludes with this suspenseful twist.
**Precap:** Vihaan prepares to marry Gauri, playfully filling her hairline with vermilion.
