Gauri ventures into the jungle to find Rishwa’s power but ends up lost in a confusing haze. Realizing she’s running out of time, she searches for another way and discovers Vihaan’s footprints, deciding to follow them.
Meanwhile, Vihaan emotionally manipulates Veena, telling her to kill him before Davansh can be harmed by Rishwa, implying that once Davansh kills, Vihaan too will perish. Sarda urges Veena not to believe Davansh and takes her away. Davansh feels his plan is failing until Veena returns, prompting him to act cunningly.
Elsewhere, Mohana sees her efforts bearing fruit as dead crows confirm the rise of evil. Vihaan senses the signal. Veena confronts Vihaan, who accuses her of being ready to sacrifice him. He expresses disappointment and fear about rekindling her emotions for him, moving Veena to tears. She extinguishes the diya and clears the ashes, unknowingly clearing Vihaan’s path.
As Gauri continues her search, Vihaan rushes to stop her. She uses Gangajal to trace the path and finds the mani. Folding her hands in reverence, she reaches for it, but Vihaan warns her not to touch it. Gauri replies that she knows the consequences but picks it up anyway. Suddenly, an axe seals their exit, and their powers fail. Vihaan urges Gauri to keep the mani, but she refuses and throws it outside to protect him.
Vihaan panics, asking how they’ll escape. Gauri calmly explains she’s calculated the axe’s timing and can pass it within 0.5 seconds. Vihaan insists she should go, but when he tries to leave, Gauri reminds him he can’t heal from outside either. Vihaan lifts Gauri in his arms, and together they stride forward fearlessly.
Vihaan heroically carries Gauri to safety but suffers severe injuries, collapsing after being electrocuted while trying to retrieve the Rishwa Mani. When he wakes up at home, his memory is hazy, and he angrily demands the Mani back, threatening Gauri and his family. Gauri refuses, challenging him to a final showdown.
In a shocking betrayal, Veena hands the real Mani to Vihaan, revealing she did it to save her child. The family is devastated, and Gauri confronts Veena, who claims she had no choice. Meanwhile, Mohana prepares for the impending doom, declaring that Vihaan will fully embrace his Davansh destiny and destroy his own family.
As tensions escalate, Vihaan coldly announces that the final phase has begun—he must sacrifice his loved ones to complete his dark transformation. Gauri makes a desperate plea to stop him, but one by one, the family members collapse unconscious, leaving their fate hanging in the balance.
