The episode is titled “The Shadow of the Eclipse,” focusing on Ghorkamini’s attempt to seal Noyon’s powers forever and Surjo’s desperate race to find the truth about his family’s past.
The Vow of Silence Broken
The episode begins with Noyon sitting at the center of the ritual circle, bound by her vow of silence. Ghorkamini is chanting powerful mantras that are visibly draining Noyon’s energy. However, Noyon spots Shaoli hovering near Surjo’s medicine cabinet with a vial of poison. Realizing that Surjo is about to take his heart medication, Noyon is forced to make a choice. She breaks her sacred vow and screams Surjo’s name just as he lifts the glass. The ritual fire turns black, signaling a “spiritual curse” for breaking the silence, but Surjo is saved.
Ghorkamini’s Fury
Ghorkamini is livid that her ritual was interrupted. She accuses Noyon of bringing “permanent darkness” to the Sengupta house by breaking the vow. She uses this as an excuse to demand that Noyon be “purified” by being locked in the Basement Shrine for three days without food or water. Choti Maa, blinded by her fear of the supernatural, agrees to the punishment, despite Surjo’s heated protests.
The Hidden Lineage
While Noyon is being led away, Surjo’s investigation into the old library pays off. He finds a hidden compartment in a 100-year-old family ledger. He discovers that Ghorkamini is not a stranger; she is the descendant of a woman who was banished from the Sengupta village a century ago for practicing forbidden arts. Her goal isn’t “purification”—it’s a vendetta to reclaim the Sengupta land by eliminating the family’s spiritual protector: Noyon.
The Climax: The Mirror of Truth
The episode ends in the dark basement. As Noyon prays, the ghost of Hasiram appears, but he looks frightened. He points to the wall where a mirror suddenly begins to bleed. Ghorkamini’s reflection appears in the mirror, but she looks like a monstrous entity. She tells Noyon, “You saved your husband today, but you have traded your soul to do it.” The mirrors in the basement begin to shatter one by one as Noyon collapses.
Major Highlights

Precap for Tomorrow:
Surjo tries to break the basement door, but Ghorkamini has placed a “Seal of Ash” that prevents any man from entering. Inside, Noyon finds an old trident buried under the floorboards that once belonged to the family’s first matriarch. Meanwhile, Shaoli realizes that Ghorkamini plans to sacrifice her as well once Noyon is gone.
