Amruta watches Virat as he prepares for Navaratri. When Virat asks her what’s on her mind, Amruta replies with a dismissive “nothing” before walking away.
Meanwhile, Jahan attempts to explain to Bhavani and Vendi that Amruta and Virat’s love story is far from ordinary.
When Amruta arrives at Jahan’s house, she inquires about their discussion. Jahan tells her not to get involved, but Vendi insists that Amruta needs to respond to them; otherwise, she could end up in a lifelong commitment with Virat. Vendi urges Amruta to declare that she doesn’t want to continue her relationship with Virat, and they will respect her decision. Jahan reminds them that Amruta is already married, questioning how she could simply leave.
Deepika, Nimrit, and Anjali then arrive at Jahan’s house, offering to help with the charity event. Vendi questions Amruta about how they will handle the heavy kitchen utensils. Just then, Virat steps in and offers to help lift them. Amruta reminds everyone that they are running late for the charity event and gathers everyone to leave.
Dildar asks Sekhar to keep an eye on Ishika, to which Sekhar agrees. Babita informs Dildar that she will accompany him to the Navaratri Pooja, and Dildar agrees.
At the police station, the tea boy serves tea to the officers, including Rajiv. As Rajiv picks up his cup, he finds a hidden message from Priyanka urging him to execute their plan. Pretending to have a seizure, Rajiv causes a panic among the officers, who rush him to the hospital.
Jayesh notices Ishika dressed up and questions her about her apparent illness. Ishika reveals that she’s not sick—she’s pregnant. With Amruta’s encouragement, she’s decided to embrace her situation and is on her way to thank Amruta. Sekhar messages Virat to inform him of Ishika’s intention to express her gratitude.
Virat reads Sekhar’s message and looks over at Amruta. Vendi observes Virat’s gaze and approaches him.
Virat tells Vendi that, despite her opinions about him, his only wish is for Amruta to be happy. Vendi then confronts him, questioning why he doesn’t just let Amruta go. She reminds him of all that has transpired since he married her against her will, noting that it’s only by chance that she has survived so far. Vendi warns him that Amruta may not be so lucky in the future. Virat falls silent, absorbing her words.
Later, Vendi, Bhavani, and Jahan discuss Dussehra. Bhavani reflects on the contradictions in the world—people pray to the Goddess while simultaneously harming women, who embody the Goddess’s spirit. She points out that today’s women face at least one demon in their lives, but she and Vendi remain hopeful that the demon will be defeated during Navaratri. Meanwhile, Rajiv and Priyanka attend the Navaratri Pooja in disguise. Rajiv overhears Bhavani and Vendi’s conversation, thinking to himself that in this Kaliyug, the demon will prevail.
As the tension builds, Virat approaches Amruta, attempting to express his feelings for her. However, Amruta tries to evade the conversation, but Virat insists that she hear him out.
