The show opens with the religious ceremony of Saptami Puja at Aneja Villa in Gurdaspur for the Goddess Maa Durga. All family members are present for the Aarti except for Damini, who is still preparing. This angers Alok because Maa Durga's Puja is being delayed. When he questions Damini, she gets angry at him. She taunts him and says that since he cannot shout at her, he will have to vent his frustration on others. She tells him that everyone, even the Goddess herself, would wait until she comes down to start the Puja. On the other hand, everyone knows that Dev's health is poor, so Alok asks Kishore to call the Doctor. Damini says she had ordered Kishore not to call the Doctor, because no one is allowed to come into Dev's room except Kishore.
In the Kiratpur village, the villagers are seen worshiping the Goddess Durga at a temple and singing hymns to her. Advocate Batra arrives to see that instead of performing Avinash and Aarti's funeral ceremony, they had been performing a Puja. He reads Avinash's will to Amrish and Damini, stating that after his and Aarti's deaths, all their property belongs to Dev and if anything happens to Dev the property will be given to charity. He leaves, saying that after a month he will return to complete all formalities with Dev. Hearing this, both are shocked.
Alok lights a diya in remembrance of his dead brother Avinash. Damini disrespectfully blows it off, which fuels his regret for marrying Damini after she brainwashed him, as he still loves his first wife Sakshi. Damini and Amrish plan to make Dev mentally unstable so that both of them can attain the property.
Alok and Tara question Damini on why she stops them from entering Dev's room. She says that Dev is mentally ill and treating him with shock therapy is necessary. She tries to make Tara believe that she treats Samarth, Aayush and Dev as her elder brothers, but in reality, Samarth and Aayush are her step-brothers. Damini says that neither they nor her cousin brother Dev will do anything for her, and only God knows what will happen to her if she is no longer there.
At night, someone meeting Dev for the last time had left the door open and so Dev unknowingly went out of the house, to everyone's consternation and worry. Damini and Amrish are angry about possibly losing the property, hence Damini begins to interrogate each family member, as she thinks one of them had purposely left the door open so that Dev could escape.
Elsewhere, Dev roams happily in a park. Durga is out with her father Shailendra and Sunny comes to Gurdaspur to perform Jagratas and pay the debt of her father. Amrish hires goons to find Dev, but they fail to catch him. Damini then calls the media and fakes concern for Dev. Meanwhile, Durga performs Jagrata at Gurdaspur and prays to the Goddess Durga to make her meet her life partner.
Damini stops Alok and Aayush from filing a missing complaint in Police Station for Dev. Dev is protected from danger for a while by the intervention of the Goddess Durga, but is later found by the hired goons and brought back home safely. Tara, Alok, Aayush, Kishore Ketki and Kabir are relieved. Meanwhile, Damini again tortures Dev as she notices Durga's paintings drawn by Dev. Dev tells Damini that the woman in the pictures opened the door for him to escape. On seeing Dev in pain Alok, Aayush, Kishore and Tara are terrified and in love of Dev, Kishore reveals that he left the door opened. Damini throws him out of the house although Alok, Tara, Aayush, Kabir and Ketki tried to stop her. Kishore is given some cash by Alok, and he leaves the house after asking to see Dev one last time.
Kishore returns to his hometown Kiratpur and meets Purohit ji. He sees Durga in the temple and narrates the story of Dev painting her face. On hearing this, Durga and Purohit ji are glad.
After many hurdles, Durga and Dev plan to get married, and everyone in the family is happy except Damini. Using her Yogamaya powers, Damini sends Durga 70 years back in time so that she can easily usurp the family's property. However, the divine Durga sends Lakhan, a doppelganger of Dev who lived 70 years earlier, to the present, replacing the real Dev who goes 70 years back in time so that he is safe from Damini and Geetu. While Durga teaches Dev to be strong and mentally fit, Lakhan takes Dev's identity and teaches Damini and Geetu a lesson for their harsh behavior towards the entire family. He orders Damini to touch his feet and apologize while holding her ears to Alok, and makes Geetu do so to Dev. Alok is hesitant and Damini is furious.
Lakhan tries to run away with the family jewelry and implores Durga to open a magical door. As he is about to go back in time, Damini stops him and reveals that she knows the truth about Lakhan. Damini says that Jogmaya had revealed everything to her. However, she is prevented from escaping with Lakhan. Jogmaya says to Damini that if she wants to defeat Durga to claim the Aneja family and Dev's property, she needs to put her back into a human form. Hearing this, Damini thinks that if she becomes the human form of Jogmaya she will get her powers back. She absorbs Jogmaya into her soul and stops Dev and Durga to reunite in 2021 as she sends Durga into Patallok and forces Lakhan to stay in 2021 and Dev, 70 years earlier in the past.
