The episode gets rolling with a serious vibe at the temple. A priest tells Vasudha that some devotee is in deep trouble because their offerings weren’t accepted by the divine. Vasudha is left super worried, her mind racing as she tries to figure out who is in danger and what this could mean.
In another part of town, Devansh is completely consumed by his need to find Madhav. He’s talking to Avinash, practically saying he can’t function until he gets to the bottom of whatever’s going on with Madhav. Avinash tries to bring him back to reality, reminding him that important investors are arriving and that Devansh has a crucial presentation to give. Devansh, however, is so single-minded that he tells Avinash to handle the presentation himself because Vasudha is his main concern right now.
Avinash is understandably stressed out. He hasn’t prepared anything and doesn’t know how he’s supposed to deliver a presentation to investors. Devansh just tells him to wing it, have confidence, and remember that it’s Avinash’s company too. He then passes the phone to Divya, telling her to motivate Avinash. Devansh hangs up, leaving Avinash in a state of panic.
Avinash is freaking out about the impossible task ahead, but Divya steps up to give him a much-needed pep talk. She reminds him that he’s Chandrika’s son and has a knack for convincing people, just like he convinced her. She urges him to trust in himself and sends the presentation file to his office.
Meanwhile, the drama continues elsewhere as Vishal calls Madhav and starts bad-mouthing Vasudha. Madhav isn’t having it and immediately scolds Vishal for speaking ill of her before hanging up. Madhav, now even more on edge, realizes he needs to disappear from the city before Devansh tracks him down.
Back at the office, Divya delivers the presentation file to a reluctant Avinash. He expresses serious doubts about his ability to pull this off and contemplates passing the responsibility to Mayur. Divya intervenes, reminding Avinash that Devansh entrusted him with this task because he believes in him. She reiterates her own faith in Avinash, urging him to believe in himself as well.
Just then, Karishma enters the scene, asking about Devansh. Divya informs her that Devansh won’t be coming to the office that day. Karishma immediately volunteers to give the presentation herself, telling Avinash not to worry and asking him to hand over the file. As Avinash is about to give in, Divya stops him, reminding Karishma that Devansh specifically instructed Avinash to handle the presentation. Karishma, not recognizing Divya’s authority, lashes out, asserting that only Avinash can make decisions since he’s the boss. In a shocking move, she fires Divya on the spot! Divya stands her ground, stating that Karishma doesn’t have the power to fire her and that only Devansh can make that decision.
In a more serene setting at the temple, a married woman applies vermilion to Vasudha’s forehead, emphasizing the importance of the symbol for married women. Vasudha, however, is unsettled by this gesture and sees it as some kind of sign. She calls Savitri and tells her that she has decided to end her relationship with Devansh, a decision clearly influenced by the day’s strange events.
Karishma, fueled by her power play, calls Chandrika and puts her on speakerphone. She informs Chandrika about Devansh’s absence and her offer to give the presentation. Chandrika, however, sticks to Devansh’s original plan, stating that if Devansh assigned the task to Avinash, then Avinash will give the presentation.
Devansh, still on his mission, is determined to find Madhav and uncover the truth at all costs. He calls Chandrika to inform her that he is going after Madhav, confirming that Avinash will indeed be handling the presentation. In a dramatic twist, as he’s speaking, he spots Madhav in the distance!
The episode concludes with this cliffhanger, leaving the audience wondering what will happen when Devansh confronts Madhav and how Avinash will handle the daunting presentation.
