The episode begins with Koel saying Prabha can’t stay in their house. Vedant disagrees, saying they can’t let her go because Dadi is affected. Koel questions how a woman who left a small boy and honest Rudra can be trusted. Vedant replies that the boy is grown now and Prabha can’t harm anyone. Manju points out that Maa got better when Prabha arrived and will fully recover if she stays. She reminds Koel that they all want Maa to be fine.
Koel pretends to be hurt and asks Vedant if he has made her a stranger now that his real mother is here. Vedant reassures her, saying she means the world to him. Jagdish goes to Rudra, who is torn between his mother and wife. Koel laments that her son has made her a stranger. Vedant clarifies that Koel is his mother and Prabha will stay only as a caretaker, not a family member. Rudra agrees, saying Koel is Vedant’s world. Vedant says he will discuss Prabha’s salary and expresses doubt about her ability to care for Dadi. Prabha promises to take good care of Dadi. Swara supports Prabha, saying she will do well since they are paying her. Vedant reminds Prabha she is not a family member and leaves.
Koel worries that if Prabha stays, her long-buried secret will be revealed. Swara tells Prabha she will soon regain her rights as the house owner, Rudra’s wife, and Vedant’s mother. Koel warns Swara that bringing Prabha has invited bad luck and tells her to prepare for suffering. Swara retorts that Koel will face punishment for her sins. Koel threatens Swara, but Swara remains confident, saying Ambe Maa is with them. Koel leaves angrily, and Prabha watches.
Dhwani wonders where her bracelet is. Abhi arrives and asks why she locked Prabha in the storeroom. Dhwani denies it, but Abhi accuses her of lying. Dhwani claims she went there to get something for Teej and acts emotional to gain his sympathy. She leaves, and Vedant recalls Prabha leaving him while he cried.
Swara approaches Vedant and asks if he is okay. Vedant says yes. Swara empathizes with him and asks him to share his feelings about Prabha’s arrival. Vedant refuses, saying he won’t share his pain with her. He accuses Swara of playing with his emotions by taking him to Prabha with their wedding card. Swara explains she didn’t know Prabha was his mother. She tells Vedant he doesn’t need to sleep on the sofa and invites him to sleep on the bed, which is divided by a net curtain. They both go to sleep.
Koel meets a snake charmer and points to a cobra, saying it kills instantly. She wants a slower, more painful death for her target. The snake charmer shows her a Krait snake. He explains that its bite paralyzes the victim, making them appear dead as their pulse is undetectable. Without an antidote, the person dies painfully. Koel is pleased and pays him. She plans to use the snake on Naag Panchami, telling Swara to prepare for her deadly attack. She closes the box with the snake inside.
Manju brings Dadi outside and sees Swara preparing for Naag Panchami. Manju asks what Swara is doing. Swara explains she wants to celebrate Naag Panchami with all the rituals. Manju is surprised that a young girl knows these traditions. Swara says she learned them from her Dadi and Amma. Manju agrees that those interested will learn. Swara shares that her Amma said her mother performed all rituals well for the family’s safety. Swara wants to do the same with a sincere heart. She prays for Naag Devta to protect them. Manju and Dadi are impressed. Swara asks about Prabha. Manju says Prabha went to bathe, so she brought Maa. Swara goes to make Prasad. Manju prays to Ambe Maa to protect Swara. Koel overhears and thinks about the snake’s poison entering Swara’s body.
