Vihaan embraces Gauri tightly, his eyes filled with concern. He urges her not to worry, insisting he never wants to see her hurt. When Gauri accuses him of planning to marry Kesar, Vihaan teases her for being jealous, revealing that Davansh is already married to Kesar. Gauri, furious, calls him a cheater. Their heated exchange turns playful until Rashmi announces Davansh’s return.
The family gathers to welcome Davansh with a grand aarti, surprising him. But the warmth fades quickly—Davansh coldly declares he’s only there to take Kesar away. The family protests, reminding him of his roots, but Davansh dismisses them, mocking their affection. When he tries to drag Kesar, she resists, and Gauri steps in, insisting he respect tradition.
Tensions rise as Vihaan pleads with Davansh, calling him brother, but Davansh laughs in his face. Gauri tries to delay him with Savitri Puja, but Davansh sees through their act. Meanwhile, Harsh and Arjun secretly spike his drink, hoping to subdue him. Suspicious, Davansh refuses the juice and demands answers.
In a bold move, Gauri and Kesar distract him with a dance, while Arjun attempts to douse Davansh with the drugged juice—only for Davansh to retaliate, splashing it back. As tempers flare, Gauri desperately tries to calm him with poetry, buying time for the puja to begin.
The women of the family, led by Gauri and Kesar, gather to observe the vrat Savitri, praying for their husbands’ long lives. Davansh impatiently waits for Kesar, while Vihaan stands by Gauri’s side. As the aarti begins, everyone folds their hands in devotion, and Arjun reminds Davansh to do the same. After tying the sacred thread, Sarda urges Gauri to begin the Savitri Katha. Davansh tries to hurry Kesar, but Sarda insists he must wait for the ritual’s completion.
Gauri narrates the tale of Savitri and Satyavan—how Satyavan’s soul was taken by Yamraj, but Savitri’s unwavering devotion forced Yamraj to grant her blessings, ultimately restoring her husband’s life. Inspired by the story, Gauri urges the women to pray fervently for their husbands. Vihaan joins Gauri in prayer, while Sarda instructs them to tie a thread around a tree as part of the ritual. Vihaan holds one end, and Kesar asks Davansh to hold the other—but he refuses, breaking his promise to her.
Enraged, Kesar remembers Davansh’s deceit and attacks him, burning his hands with the ritual fire. She accuses him of betrayal and declares she will no longer be a devoted wife like Savitri—instead, she vows to kill him. Gauri tries to reason with her, warning that becoming a widow will bring her no peace, but Kesar refuses to listen.
As Kesar lunges at Davansh, Vihaan intervenes, saving him. Gauri drags Davansh inside, pleading that he is vital to their family. Davansh mocks them, claiming he is more valuable than gold and doesn’t need Vihaan. Meanwhile, Harsh and Sia search for the enchanted bird controlling Kesar’s anger. Once found, Harsh uses it to calm her down.
Davansh taunts Rishwa, declaring Vihaan powerless without him. As he tries to leave, Gauri locks him in a cage, determined to protect her family from his treachery. The battle between devotion and vengeance reaches its peak, leaving the fate of their relationships hanging in the balance.
