The episode opens with Rabinder tailing Mannat’s car. He instructs his driver to slow down as they approach her vehicle, revealing his sinister intention to shoot her. Meanwhile, Ravinder, on a call with Aishwarya, informs her that Mannat is nearing the railway station. Aishwarya, with a chilling excitement, insists that he should keep the call active, eager to hear Mannat’s screams when he pulls the trigger.
As the tension builds, Ravinder takes aim and fires at Mannat’s car window. Unbeknownst to him, Mannat is preoccupied with handing a bouquet to Aishwarya, who is caught off guard and scolds her. Mannat affectionately calls her “mom,” leaving Aishwarya visibly shocked at her unexpected presence.
Ravinder then relays to Aishwarya that Mannat and her mother have inexplicably vanished from his sight, expressing confusion over how Mannat managed to escape. Mannat, reveling in the moment, taunts Aishwarya, suggesting that she must be surprised to see her. She reveals that while she had intended to leave the city, she was advised by Shruthi not to trust Aishwarya, who she believes will never let them live in peace but will instead plot their destruction. Mannat explains that she changed cars when the goons were distracted, and then goes on to humiliate Aishwarya, accusing her of harboring hatred and abandoning her own child to perish on a beach, thereby breaking her promises.
Aishwarya, infuriated, demands to know why Mannat is there. Mannat responds that she possesses the power to expose Aishwarya to Vikrant, asserting that he would never look at her the same way again. Aishwarya tries to dismiss her, stating that Vikrant is set to marry Mallika, urging Mannat to leave. In a fit of rage, Aishwarya grabs Mannat by the neck, but Mannat boldly declares that she will be the reason this wedding does not happen. Aishwarya insists that Vikrant will marry Mallika happily.
Mannat challenges Aishwarya’s confidence, questioning why she attempted to kill her in the first place. Aishwarya demands that Mannat leave, but Mannat counters that she was planning to depart until Aishwarya violated their agreement by sending a hitman after her. She reveals her intention to stay, having signed a document that Aishwarya failed to scrutinize. Showing Aishwarya the transfer of shares agreement, Mannat watches as Aishwarya’s expression shifts to one of shock.
Continuing her revelation, Mannat discloses that she has CCTV footage from the hospital showing Aishwarya alongside Shruthi. This footage confirms their relationship, as it indicates that Aishwarya donated her liver, making her Mannat’s sister. Mannat proposes a DNA test to solidify their connection, asserting her desire to live with Aishwarya in their shared home. Despite her reluctance to call Aishwarya “mom,” she acknowledges the truth of their bond, stating that while Aishwarya can hide the truth, she cannot change it.
Mannat issues a stern warning: Aishwarya must not harm her or her mother. If anyone attempts to frame her, Aishwarya will need to protect her, or else Mannat will expose her. With nothing left to lose, Mannat holds the upper hand, while Aishwarya has everything at stake.
Meanwhile, Vikrant is reluctantly marrying Mallika, resigned to what he believes is his destiny. Neetu has arranged the grahpravesh ceremony, and the search for Aishwarya continues. Just then, Mannat arrives, prompting Neetu and Vikrant to demand her departure. In a fit of anger, Mallika disrupts the ceremony, breaking the ganthbandhan. Raveena warns that this is an ill omen, to which Mallika retorts that she has no ties to Vikrant.
Mannat interjects, claiming her status as Vikrant’s business partner, stating that Aishwarya will clarify the situation. In a twist of fate, Mannat declares that she and Vikrant will have their grahpravesh together, revealing that Aishwarya has transferred all her shares to her. This shocking revelation means that Mannat cannot be expelled from the house or her job, ensuring that she can remain there with dignity.
As the family grapples with the unexpected turn of events, Mannat urges them to question Aishwarya about the situation, emphasizing her intent to stay with her mother. The episode concludes with heightened tension and uncertainty about the future dynamics between Mannat, Aishwarya, and the rest of the family.
