Vikram reassures Sumitra that he won’t allow anything to happen to Pinni. Suguna insists they must prevent Pinni from leaving the house the next day. Vikram responds that Pinni is the daughter of Nikki and Piyush, and she has inherited their stubbornness. He firmly states that he will do everything in his power to keep Pinni at home.
Sumitra suggests calling Baldevi for assistance, mentioning that Baldevi’s pendant has protected Pinni thus far, so perhaps Baldevi can help them again. They both pray to Baldevi, with Sumitra expressing regret for not having met her in years. She implores Baldevi to come and protect Pinni.
The following day, Ruhi is exercising when Netra joins her. Ruhi expresses her happiness at having Netra around and inquires why she chose to live in Bhurangarh. Netra replies that Bhurangarh holds a special significance for her.
Meanwhile, the villagers attempt to perform a puja but are unsuccessful, lamenting the curse that seems to plague them. One man mentions that Vikram’s family and the Malik family used to live in Bhurangarh before leaving many years ago. He recalls how they performed puja and yagya for 15 years, but when one family returned to the palace five years ago, their suffering resumed. They resolve to confront the palace residents.
On the other side, Pinni prepares to leave the house. Sumitra asks her where she is going, to which Pinni replies that she’s headed to Tara’s house to study. She notes it’s strange that no one is discussing the recent earthquake. Vikram tells Pinni she cannot go out for her own safety. Pinni questions who they are protecting her from.
Netra learns that the villagers are coming to confront her. In response, she uses her powers to conjure storms to deter them. The tantrik informs Netra about protective barriers, to which she responds with excitement. She tells Raka that Pinni is special, which is why she is so heavily protected. Realizing capturing Pinni will not be easy, she decides to visit Pinni’s house.
Pinni warns Vikram that she needs to leave. He stands firm, insisting she cannot go out. Pinni expresses her frustration, claiming it’s driving her mad to stay cooped up at home all the time. She questions the sudden change in their behavior. Vikram reassures her that their love is the reason for their protective stance. Pinni responds that she loves them too and asks if she is not allowed to seek a job. She expresses a desire to learn if her parents were like Vikram. Suguna suggests Pinni invite Tara over to study.
After a while, Pinni learns that Tara is waiting outside. Vikram opens the door, allowing Tara to enter. Sumitra offers Tara some pasta. Pinni tells Tara they should start studying and leads her inside, where Tara mentions the recent cases of missing girls.
