The episode begins with a tense scene. Aadi is driving frantically through the night streets while on the phone with Nandini. Nandini taunts him, saying she doesn’t know if Parvati will even be alive by the time he reaches her. Aadi is distraught and worried. At the family home, Akhilandeshwari is extremely anxious. After a while, she calls Aadi, her hands trembling.
Aadi sees his mother calling and answers the phone. Akhilandeshwari, with a sense of urgency, tells him she had a terrible premonition. She explains that while she was praying, her mind was restless. When she opened her eyes, she saw a fly dead in the holy water. She believes this is a bad omen and that Parvati is in danger from water. She insists that Aadi must search for Parvati near any river or water body.
Confused but trusting his mother’s instinct, Aadi agrees. He ends the call and, following her advice, drives to a nearby beach. He gets out of his car and desperately scans the dark shoreline, but finds no sign of Parvati. The scene then shifts to another location, where Parvati is shown tied up and gagged, sitting in a dark, empty room. Water begins to seep into the room, and she looks terrified.
Meanwhile, in another house, a woman is in the bathroom and finds that there’s no water in the tap. She goes to the balcony and shouts for the security guard, asking him to turn on the water motor. The guard complies, unaware of the consequences. The scene cuts back to Parvati, who is now trapped in the room as it rapidly fills with water from a pipe above. The water level rises quickly, and she struggles, her life clearly in peril.
Back at the main house, the entire family is gathered in the living room, looking extremely worried. Akhilandeshwari tells her husband, Purushottam, about her premonition and her fear for Parvati’s life. Parvati’s father, Sundaram, and her brother are also present, their faces etched with despair. Just then, Aadi walks in, looking completely defeated. Akhilandeshwari rushes to him, asking where Parvati is. Aadi sadly informs everyone that despite his best efforts, he couldn’t find her. He reveals the shocking truth: Nandini has kidnapped Parvati to take revenge on their family.
The family is horrified. Aadi explains that Nandini gave him a cryptic clue, saying Parvati is hidden in a place that is both ‘high up’ and ‘low down’. As the family tries to decipher the riddle, Aadi suddenly has a moment of realization. He understands that the ‘high up’ and ‘low down’ place can only be the water tank on the roof of the building. Without a second’s hesitation, he sprints out of the house, with Arun and Shyam following close behind.
They race to the building’s rooftop. Aadi, followed by his brothers, climbs a ladder to the top of the large water tank. Looking down through the opening, he sees Parvati, now fully submerged and unconscious. In a heroic act, Aadi jumps into the tank without a thought for his own safety. He pulls Parvati out of the water, and with the help of his brothers, gets her down from the roof.
They rush back into the house, with Aadi carrying an unconscious Parvati in his arms. The family is thrown into a panic, crying and screaming her name. They lay her on the sofa as a doctor, who had been called earlier, arrives just in time. The doctor immediately begins to check on Parvati. After a tense few moments, she informs the relieved family that Parvati is out of danger and will be fine. Aadi carries Parvati to her room and lays her on the bed. Once she regains consciousness, Parvati tells Akhilandeshwari that she knew she would be safe because Aadi had promised to protect her. Aadi looks at her with deep emotion, and a flicker of a change can be seen in Akhilandeshwari’s eyes.
The episode ends with a furious Aadi confronting Nandini. He breaks into her house, fights off her goons, and warns her that she has one week to leave the city. He threatens to kill her if he ever sees her again, leaving a scared but defiant Nandini staring after him.
