Her encounter takes a terrifying turn as Kabir rescues her, leaving her haunted by the symbol etched on the ghost's foot. Abhay and Krutika plot against Swaraj. Sulakshana, determined to secure Swaraj's wealth, promises Krutika marriage to him as a will clause requires his wife's signature. The vengeful ghost injures Sulakshana after she gives her word. Dr. Vaibhavi crosses paths with Swaraj at the market, unaware of his true identity. Swaraj reluctantly agrees to marry Krutika after the anniversary of Dr. Vaibhavi's tragic demise. On the other side, Swaraj reaches out to Dr. Vaibhavi to become Shashikant's attending physician. During the Shradh Puja, Dr. Vaibhavi enters Anandvan. After tilting the Kalash meant for Vaibhavi at the doorstep, Dr. Vaibhavi senses a strange omen. Krutika's attempts to oust Dr. Vaibhavi fail.

Dr. Vaibhavi offers medication for Shashikant's panic attacks and shares her initial encounter with Swaraj with Shambhavi, who predicts her future based on the symbol she keeps seeing. Elsewhere, Swaraj recalls Vaibhavi's memory for her telling him the meaning of the symbol on her foot is Patience. As the engagement ceremony approaches, Swaraj confides in Krutika.
