The episode begins with Goddess Parvati defiantly telling Jimrasur that she has not yet accepted defeat and challenges him to attack her. In response, Jimrasur unleashes a poisonous gas, causing her to faint. Lord Shiv, witnessing this, becomes enraged as Jimrasur and Diti laugh triumphantly. The imbalance in the world starts to manifest due to Goddess Parvati’s unconscious state. Jimrasur, having effortlessly dealt with her, shifts his focus to Lord Shiv, while Shukracharya cautions Jimrasur against underestimating the power of Lord Shiv, warning him that he could easily end up as ashes in a battle against the deity.
Jimrasur, filled with arrogance, insists he can kill Lord Shiv. Diti encourages Shukracharya not to deter Jimrasur. Shukracharya demonstrates Jimrasur’s fate, indicating that Lord Shiv predicted Jimrasur’s demise. He instructs Diti to hold Goddess Parvati’s hand, but when she tries, she receives a shock, leading Shukracharya to proclaim that despite her unconscious state, Goddess Parvati still possesses immense power. He suggests that if Jimrasur can render her powerless, he can seize control of the world without engaging in battle. When Jimrasur asks how to achieve that, Shukracharya takes Goddess Parvati away.
As Lord Shiv approaches, he confronts Shukracharya, urging him to cease this wrongdoing. He declares he is on his way and challenges anyone to try and stop him. Nandi warns that if Lord Shiv does not arrive in time, Goddess Parvati may become unconscious permanently. Ganesh expresses his frustration, wondering why his parents must always suffer, and insists he will go save Kartikeya. However, Lord Narayan advises him against acting without Lord Shiv’s permission, stressing that their priority must be to protect Goddess Parvati.
Meanwhile, Shukracharya asserts that only Lord Shiv and his divine essence can save Goddess Parvati. He instructs his followers to keep Lord Shiv from reaching the Yagya site until sunrise. Jimrasur boasts that Lord Shiv will never reach there, but Diti questions how he plans to stop him, suggesting that Lord Shiv may already be on his way. Jimrasur confidently states that he has assigned someone to handle this task.
He summons Bheemasur, who arrives and greets everyone. Jimrasur explains that Bheemasur has been distracted lately and instructs him to ensure that Lord Shiv remains lost in the forest. Bheemasur agrees, asserting that he will prevent Lord Shiv from leaving the forest. Diti warns Bheemasur not to underestimate Lord Shiv, but he dismisses her concerns, telling her to watch his strategy unfold.
Ganesh, wanting to help Goddess Parvati, asks what they can do. Nandi suggests they should pray with all their hearts. The devotees begin to perform a puja for the Shivling while Shukracharya initiates his own Yagya.
Lord Shiv senses an obstruction in his path and inquires about it. Bheemasur introduces himself but insists Lord Shiv cannot pass because he intends to help his wife. Lord Shiv then mentions knowing what happened to Bheemasur’s wife, which raises Diti’s eyebrows. Lord Shiv explains that he is aware of Bheemasur’s tragedy but asserts that he must reach his own wife, Goddess Parvati. He tells Bheemasur that if he does not reach her soon, he will turn to ashes from his grief.
Diti worries that if Bheemasur is swayed by Lord Shiv’s words, his plan will unravel. Yet Jimrasur assures her that Bheemasur will remain loyal. Lord Shiv appeals to Bheemasur, urging him to let him pass because his wife needs him. Bheemasur briefly shows Lord Shiv the way out but ultimately chooses to remain loyal to Jimrasur. He states that while he lost his wife, he cannot betray his friend Jimrasur.
Despite Bheemasur’s intentions, Lord Shiv is determined and believes that aid will come to him. He calls out for help, and the forest devotees hear his voice but struggle to pinpoint its source.
Bheemasur smugly declares that no one can assist Lord Shiv in his deceptive forest, while Lord Narayan notes that while Lord Shiv is always there for others, today it looks like no one can reach him.
As Lord Shiv begs for assistance, an old lady appears and inquires about his identity and his request. He explains that he has lost his way in the forest. The old woman, though blind, claims she has never collided with a tree because of her faith in Lord Shiv. She emphasizes that trust can resolve all issues and chants his name before she leaves.
In a flashback, Goddess Parvati once asked Lord Shiv whom he trusted the most, to which he pointed to her image in the sky, causing her to smile with happiness.
Returning to the present, Lord Shiv acknowledges Shakti and expresses gratitude to the old lady for showing him the path. He reassures Goddess Parvati that he is on his way.
