The episode begins with Sundaram and his son Ganesh walking towards the main gate. Suddenly, a panicked Jagdamba rushes out, calling Sundaram’s name. When he asks what’s wrong, she delivers the shocking news that Parvati fainted on her way to the temple. Sundaram is stunned, as Parvati seemed fine when he left. Jagdamba explains that Akhilandeshwari had asked Parvati to rest, but she later collapsed. The family’s sons, Aditya and Arun, have rushed her to the hospital. Ganesh, concerned, asks about Parvati’s condition and the hospital’s name, but Jagdamba doesn’t know. She reveals that Akhilandeshwari is still in the prayer room, unaware of the emergency. Worried, Sundaram decides they must inform her immediately and they all hurry inside.
Meanwhile, in the prayer room, Akhilandeshwari is deep in prayer. She has a disturbing vision of a framed photograph of Parvati, adorned with a garland and a bindi, a ritual for the deceased. Startled, she looks around but sees nothing amiss. The vision leaves her deeply unsettled as she tries to continue her prayers.
At the hospital, Aditya, Arun, and Shyam wait anxiously outside the ICU. The doctor emerges and informs them that Parvati is still unconscious. Arun asks if her condition is due to fasting for three days. The doctor reveals a shocking truth: Parvati has been poisoned. The milk she drank was laced with poison, causing her to collapse. The brothers are horrified. However, the doctor reassures them that they brought her in just in time, and while it will take her a while to regain consciousness, her life is no longer in danger.
Back at the mansion, Sundaram, Jagdamba, and Ganesh enter the grand living room where Akhilandeshwari is with her husband, Vanaja, and Uma. Akhilandeshwari asks about Parvati, and her husband hesitantly tells her that Parvati has been hospitalized. The news shocks Akhilandeshwari, who immediately recalls her terrifying vision. As she asks what happened, her phone rings. It’s Arun. He tells his mother about the poisoning, confirming that the milk Parvati drank was tainted. Vanaja and Uma exchange guilty looks. Arun reassures his mother that Parvati is out of danger.
After the call, Akhilandeshwari, filled with rage, confronts Vanaja. She slaps her hard, accusing her of attempting to murder Parvati. She furiously questions Vanaja’s audacity to harm a loyal servant and stain the family’s honor. Crying, Vanaja confesses that she poisoned the milk. She justifies her action by claiming she did it to protect the family from a prophecy about the eldest daughter-in-law. She feared Parvati would use her penance to ask for Aditya’s hand in marriage. Akhilandeshwari, disgusted by the confession, silences her.
In the hospital, Parvati regains consciousness. Arun, relieved, tells her that Aditya was extremely worried and shed tears for her. He reveals that Aditya loves her deeply and that their family will soon accept her. Hearing this, Parvati is shocked and emotional. Later, while Arun is on the phone with Uma, he discovers that Parvati has disappeared from her hospital bed. He panics and searches for her with Shyam. They realize she has left in an auto-rickshaw. They try to follow, but their car is out of petrol.
Parvati, in the auto, is distraught. Aditya, driving his car, is also desperately searching for her. Arun is seen running on the street, shouting her name. The episode ends with Parvati getting out of the auto and running into a compound, where Aditya finally finds her.
Review
This episode was packed with high-voltage drama and emotional turmoil. The revelation that Parvati was poisoned, not just weak from fasting, was a major turning point. The doctor’s confirmation added a layer of suspense and immediately shifted the suspicion onto Vanaja, whose guilt was palpable. Akhilandeshwari’s confrontation with Vanaja was a standout moment. Her transformation from a prayerful matriarch to a furious protector was powerful and well-acted. The slap she delivered was both shocking and satisfying for the audience who has been witnessing Vanaja’s schemes. The emotional core of the episode, however, was Aditya’s love for Parvati and Parvati’s subsequent disappearance from the hospital. Her decision to flee after learning about Aditya’s feelings and the poisoning creates a compelling cliffhanger. The episode successfully blended family drama, suspense, and romance, leaving viewers eager to see what happens next.
