The episode, titled “The Guest with Golden Eyes,” focuses on Purvi’s infiltration of the Bharadwaj mansion and the awakening of Aryaman’s past-life memories.
The New Identity: Ahana
The episode opens at the gates of the Bharadwaj mansion. Purvi, now using her supernatural powers to mask her scent and appearance slightly, arrives as Ahana, a professional interior designer sent to renovate the mansion for an upcoming gala. Parmeet, arrogant and unaware of her true identity, welcomes her, impressed by her knowledge of ancient architecture—knowledge she actually gained from her ancestors.
The First Encounter
As “Ahana” walks through the hall, she comes face-to-face with Aryaman. The air crackles with tension. In a stunning visual sequence, the screen splits: one side shows their current interaction, and the other shows a blurred vision of them as warriors in a past era. Aryaman is visibly shaken; he feels a strange warmth in her presence but a chilling coldness when she looks him in the eye.
The Traitor’s Fear
During a family dinner, Ahana “accidentally” mentions the legend of the Anantkul Mahanaagin, claiming that a snake never forgets the face of its killer. Sameer’s disappearance (from the previous episode) has already put the family on edge. Mahek, sensing a powerful aura around Ahana, tries to test her by placing a bowl of “Nag-fani” (cactus milk) near her, which is toxic to serpents. Purvi, realizing the trap, uses her powers to turn the liquid into water before anyone notices.
The Climax: A Secret Revealed
The episode ends with Ahana wandering into the restricted North Wing of the mansion. She finds a hidden vault where Parmeet has kept the stolen artifacts of her family. As she touches her mother’s ritual dagger, her eyes glow a fierce gold. Behind her, Aryaman appears, holding the same blood-stained handkerchief from the forest. He asks, “Who are you really, and why does my heart bleed every time you look at me?” The final shot is a close-up of Purvi’s reflection in the dagger—half human, half serpent—as she prepares to answer.
Major Highlights

Precap for Sunday:
Aryaman demands the truth, but Purvi distracts him with a fabricated story. Meanwhile, Parmeet receives a mysterious box containing Sameer’s ring and a handful of snake scales. The Maha-Sapera arrives at the mansion and tells Parmeet, “The enemy isn’t coming; she is already eating at your table.
