The episode begins with Vihaan crying out in pain, and Gauri becomes emotional seeing him suffer. Deeply worried, she goes to the temple and prays to the Goddess, pleading for Vihaan’s recovery. Meanwhile, Veena, feeling helpless, begs the dark spirit to spare her son. She promises to do anything if it means saving him.
Gauri returns with a sacred veil from the temple while Vihaan continues to struggle. When she reaches him, Vihaan questions her presence. Gauri reminds him that while she said she wouldn’t witness him in pain, she never said she wouldn’t come. Then, she covers her eyes with a cloth and holds Vihaan tightly. The evil shadow demands Gauri in exchange for Vihaan, who is writhing in agony. Gauri doesn’t let go—she grips his hand and pulls him into a protective hug, both of them in tears. Slowly, Vihaan calms down and falls asleep in her arms. Gauri opens her eyes to check on him, cradles him carefully, and notices that he is now perfectly fine. After settling him down, she quietly walks away. When Vihaan wakes up, he finds himself completely recovered.
Elsewhere, Harsh tells Sia to follow the trail of footprints, but Sia prefers to follow the path of the crows. They split up, each choosing their own way. Eventually, Sia gets trapped in a cage, and Harsh hears her cries.
Back at home, Rashmi wakes everyone up, and Baa questions her. Rashmi explains that her elder aunt is visiting.
Later, Gauri shyly recalls her emotional moment with Vihaan but suddenly bumps into the elder aunt. They recognize each other, and Rashmi formally introduces Gauri to Sharda, the elder aunt. Vihaan also comes forward to greet Sharda and touch her feet. Curious, Sharda asks if Gauri is the new daughter-in-law. Gauri then takes blessings from Sharda, who tells Baa that she likes the new bride. As a token of trust, Sharda gives Gauri the responsibility of preparing the prashad for Navratri. She also encourages Gauri to invite her own family. Baa instructs everyone to get ready for the upcoming puja.
Later, Mahesh tells Sharda that the driver mentioned someone took her car. Sharda admits that a girl had taken it and promises to teach her a lesson.
Meanwhile, Vihaan walks beside Gauri and tries to speak to her, but she doesn’t hear him and walks away. Just then, Gauri receives a call from Anjali and can hear clearly. Anjali teases her, saying that Gauri is falling in love with Vihaan and compares him to her own ideal husband. Gauri smiles and tells Anjali that she’s going to get ready.
