Harshvardhan is sentenced to death for nine murders and a year later Vidhula and Abhimanyu marry, but in a hidden basement a new masked figure whispers "I'm back" and pins a fresh note for the next bride.

Devastated, Vidhula asks whether she can love her father and hate his crimes; she faces down Mrityunjay's taunts and leans on Abhimanyu.

In interrogation Harshvardhan confesses that he killed Bhavya for betraying Vidhula after Tapan's attack, then killed brides to punish a world that favours "beautiful" girls, and used and then killed Tapan with a wrist bomb.

A tracker in Manu's bridal gajra leads Abhimanyu to a hidden basement under Singh House, where he catches Harshvardhan knife in hand as Vidhula watches her father arrested as the killer. Based on Pratilipi Story - Killer (I Love Beauty) by Mankaash Manpreet.

On the wedding day Harshvardhan drugs Manu and hides her and the wounded Kartik in a tunnel beneath the garage, telling Manu she was never his blood daughter. Based on Pratilipi Story - Killer (I Love Beauty) by Mankaash Manpreet.

Kartik spots something in Harshvardhan's window and finds a hidden packet; Harshvardhan catches and attacks him, but Kartik sends a message before he loses consciousness.

Two days before the wedding, Dr. Kartik notices Harshvardhan's strange reaction to talk of "beautiful brides" and a carefully guarded photograph.

Vidhula confronts Mrityunjay for digging into her family before Manu's wedding, while forensics confirm the stud near the factory is a decoy, and Abhimanyu suspects someone close is tracking their every move.
