Arohi finally locates Abhishek and is shocked to find Pari attempting to take advantage of his vulnerable state. When Arohi questions her, Pari lies that they had come to identify Kailash’s body and she found Abhishek unconscious in a storage room. Arohi rebukes her, firmly asserting her position as Abhishek’s legal wife during their three-month reconciliation period. Unable to argue, Pari leaves in anger.
Arohi tends to Abhishek with care until Anuradha arrives, troubled by Baba’s warnings that Abhishek’s life is in danger due to past connections. She urges Arohi to stay away from her son. Arohi refuses, revealing that she and Abhishek have already begun rebuilding their marriage. She vows to protect him from all harm, even hinting that Baba’s influence is clouding Anuradha’s judgment.
Pari fumes over her foiled plan but maintains her scheming. She slyly marks Abhishek’s hand with vermilion before informing her father that she will use black magic to ensure Abhishek is hers forever.
As Arohi continues caring for Abhishek, Pari’s ritual takes effect. Abhishek suddenly loses control, pushes Arohi, and inadvertently burns her hand. In a trance-like state, he tightens a dupatta around her neck. Arohi desperately struggles and accidentally wipes away the vermilion symbol—breaking Pari’s spell.
Realizing her ritual has been disrupted again, Pari rushes in pretending concern. Arohi reveals to Anuradha that Abhishek strangled her under an unknown influence. Abhishek is horrified to see the dupatta in his own hands, while Pari smirks in satisfaction.
