The episode, titled “The Curse of the Blood Moon,” focuses on the revelation of the true Shesh Naagin and a betrayal that shakes the foundations of the Naag Lok.
The Awakening of the Moon
The episode begins under a rare Blood Moon. The protagonist, Shivana, feels her powers intensifying but also becoming uncontrollable. Her skin begins to shimmer with golden scales that she cannot hide, even in her human form. Her mentor, the Guruji, warns her that tonight is the night when the “Anti-Naagin” cult will attempt to summon the Pralay-Vansh (The Clan of Destruction).
The Hidden Mark
While at a high-profile gala, the lead male protagonist, Aryan, notices a unique glowing mark on Shivana’s neck that only appears under moonlight. Aryan, who is secretly a descendant of a family of ancient protectors, realizes that Shivana is not just any Naagin, but the long-lost daughter of the Shesh Naag.
However, he keeps this a secret to protect her from the villains who are tracking the mark.
The Traitor in the Temple
The tension shifts to the ancient Shiv Temple. Damini, who has been posing as Shivana’s closest ally, is revealed to be working for the Asuras. She steals the “Sacred Ash” required for the protective ritual. Without the ash, Shivana is vulnerable to the Blood Moon’s curse, which threatens to turn her into a mindless predator.
The Climax: The First Transformation
The episode ends with a breathtaking sequence. As the Blood Moon reaches its zenith, Shivana is cornered in the temple by the cultists. Damini reveals her true face and uses a cursed dagger to weaken Shivana. Just as the villains prepare to extract her powers, Shivana’s eyes turn a piercing violet. The ground begins to shake, and she undergoes a Grand Transformation into her giant, seven-headed serpent form—the Shesh Naagin avatar. The final shot is of the cultists screaming in terror as the temple is engulfed in a golden aura.
