The episode begins with Alisha discovering Mannat’s room empty and her luggage missing, leading her to confirm to Rudra that Mannat has left the house for good. As Alisha dreams about living in the room with Dev, Rudra speculates that Mannat is terrified of him. Alisha suggests that Rudra should upload the video to tarnish Mannat’s reputation in front of the family. Rudra believes Mannat will seek his help but instructs Alisha to search thoroughly for confirmation of her departure.
Suddenly, Sakshi calls Alisha, inquiring about her plans to separate Mannat and Rudra. Alisha reassures Sakshi that she has a strategy in place and that everything will soon be under their control, which Sakshi trusts.
Meanwhile, Dev brings Mannat back home, but she is reluctant to enter. Just then, the blackmailer calls Mannat, expressing delight that she has left the house. Dev urges Mannat to put the call on speaker. Mannat pleads with the blackmailer not to upload the video, but he insists he wants her to go missing and tells her to wait for his confirmation. Rudra, believing he has Mannat under control, expects her to soon be separated from Dev. After Mannat continues to plead, Rudra hangs up the call, while Dev frantically searches the area to ensure they aren’t being watched.
Rudra is pleased to learn that Mannat is scared and listens to the call recording, discovering that Mannat is with someone. He quickly contacts Alisha for an update. Mannat urges Dev to get inside, warning him that the blackmailer is watching. Alisha answers Rudra’s call and informs him that she couldn’t find anyone outside, despite his insistence that Mannat is not alone.
Dev tries to soothe Mannat, explaining that someone is close by. Alisha reports back to Rudra, telling him she found nothing and asks him not to call her constantly. Confused, Rudra suspects that Mannat is terrified. Mannat tells Dev they need to leave, and he takes her to stay at Satpal’s house, where he is welcomed briefly. Mannat is fearful that the blackmailer will upload the video.
Dev tries to reassure Mannat, telling her that her friend is always by her side and that he will always stand up for her. He insists that no video can harm her, but Mannat expresses her fear that if the video is released, it will humiliate everyone involved. Dev encourages Mannat to file a complaint against the blackmailer, stating that they need to strategize their next steps. He reassures her that they will tackle this problem together and will find a solution soon.
As Satpal brings in snacks and tea, Mannat feels like time has come to a standstill. Dev tells her it’s best to wait for the blackmailer’s next call. In the meantime, he replays the video for clues and notices a sticker for SK Computers in the frame. He informs Mannat that he is familiar with the shop and Satpal suggests that Dev should investigate it. Just then, the blackmailer calls again, inquiring about Mannat’s location.
**Precap:** Dev gathers details about the blackmailer and instructs Mannat to intervene to prevent the video from being uploaded. He prepares to confront the blackmailer directly.
