The episode opens with a dramatic scene as Sudesh desperately tries to save Akshat, who has fallen off a cliff. In a heart-stopping moment, Sudesh loses his footing and tumbles down the rocky precipice himself. Below, Sowmya’s men, who had been lurking nearby, panic upon discovering Akshat lying unconscious on the road, their plans unraveling before their eyes. Sowmya, witnessing Sudesh’s perilous climb from the valley, is filled with dread and urgency, shouting for help as she realizes the gravity of the situation.
Meanwhile, at home, Kusum is deeply engrossed in prayer, beseeching Maata Rani for the safe return of her loved ones. She promises to perform the evening aarti together, her devotion evident in her hopeful demeanor. However, her moment of tranquility is shattered when her black-beaded chain suddenly breaks, a symbolic omen that foreshadows the turmoil to come.
In a cunning maneuver, Sowmya approaches Sudesh, her face obscured, feigning concern. As she pretends to assist him, she deliberately lets go of his hand, watching with a twisted sense of satisfaction as he falls back into the abyss. At the same time, Kusum notices the spilled sindoor, a traditional symbol of marital fidelity, along with the broken chain, intensifying her sense of foreboding.
Sowmya, realizing that Sudesh might have recognized her, decides that he must be eliminated to cover her tracks. She then turns her attention to Akshat, who remains unconscious on the road. Believing that he hasn’t seen her, she drags him toward the valley, her intentions dark and calculated.
Back at home, Mangal senses something amiss and begins to chant the Durga Stotram, seeking divine protection for his family. Meanwhile, a goon steals Sowmya’s car, adding another layer of chaos to the unfolding events. Just then, Sowmya hears the sound of an approaching auto, realizing that Mangal is inside. In a panic, she quickly hides, her heart racing as the auto briefly stops before continuing on its way. Frustrated by the busy road that has thwarted her plans, Sowmya resolves to wait for another opportunity to eliminate Akshat.
At home, Kusum expresses her growing concerns to Ishana about Sudesh’s well-being. Ishana, sensing her sister’s anxiety, decides to call Adit to inform him that Sudesh, Akshat, and even Mangal are unreachable. Adit reassures her, promising to get in touch with Sudesh. However, when he dials Sudesh’s number, a passerby answers, revealing that he found the phone lying on the road but that there is no sign of Sudesh or Akshat. Adit’s worry deepens as he asks for the location, sensing that something is terribly wrong.
As fate would have it, Mangal returns home, cheerful and calling out for Akshat and Sudesh. Kusum, however, shares her concerns, explaining that they had gone out for ice cream but are not responding to calls. Mangal, ever the optimist, tries to reassure her, but Kusum recounts the ominous signs she has witnessed earlier, including her broken chain and spilled sindoor. Malishka, trying to lift the heavy atmosphere, comforts Kusum, insisting that nothing bad will happen and begins to fix her broken black-beaded chain, symbolizing her hope for better times.
Meanwhile, Sowmya is in a secluded area, digging a hole to bury Akshat, her actions reflecting her sinister intentions. Just then, Adit arrives at the location, having tracked down Sudesh’s phone. He starts searching for both Sudesh and Akshat, his instincts telling him that they are in danger. As he gets closer, Sowmya, sensing the impending threat, quickly hides, her heart pounding as she tries to remain unseen.
Adit, feeling a sense of urgency, calls Mangal to update her on his findings. However, as he speaks, he hears a phone ringing nearby—Sowmya’s phone, which she had hidden in her haste. Realizing that he is close to uncovering the truth, Adit’s determination strengthens, while Sowmya’s anxiety mounts as she clutches her breath, hoping to evade discovery.
The episode concludes on a cliffhanger, with Adit’s search intensifying and Sowmya’s dark schemes hanging in the balance. Viewers are left on the edge of their seats, eagerly anticipating the next developments in this gripping tale of suspense and intrigue.
